BIRTH YEAR, MARRIAGE DATE:

Henrico Co., Virginia Records 1688-1697, pg 26 (LDS microfilm 31770, item 3):

On December 1, 1688 Martha Osborn, aged about 26 years, gives a deposition.

SKK:

The following is on page 220 of SOUTHERN KITH AND KIN. See notes under Capt. Thomas Osborne for sources indicated by numbers in brackets.

But from the wills of Repps Jones and his mother, Mrs. Mary Skerme, it is evident that Martha Jones, daughter of Mrs. Mary Skerme by her first husband Thomas Jones, married an Osborne, and that she left children Mary, Martha and Thomas Osborne. Reps Jones' will was made February 19th, 1688-89 and was probated August 1st, 1689; he bequeathed property to Philip Turpin, who married his sister Elizabeth, (this was the property he bought from his brother Thomas Jones, which at the death of Philip and Elizabeth Turpin was to go to his cozen (sic) Thomas Jones, and if Thomas Jones left no male heirs, it was to go to Edward Skerme); his sisters Mary Skerme and Martha Osborne; and his honored mother.[28]

Mrs. Mary Jones married Edward Skerme, who died about 1677, and his widow was given the probate of his estate September 1st, 1677.[29] Mrs. Mary Skerme died about 1710 and left property to her grandchildren, Matthew, Philip, and Martha Turpin; daughter Elizabeth Turpin; son-in-law Philip Turpin; granddaughter Elizabeth Turpin; daughter Mary Brodneks (Broadnax); and to grandchildren Mary, Martha, and Thomas Osborne. She left Martha Osborne her wedding ring. (The will was dated November 16th, 1707, and proved October 5th, l710.)[30]

COMMENT:

It seems odd to me that Mrs. Mary Skerme left property to Mary, Martha, and Thomas Osborne but not to Cicely, Edward, or Elizabeth. It may be that they were born after she wrote her will in 1707.
