In In 1860, Jackson County, Tennessee in District 1, page 197 is Mary Price with Richard Osburn and in 1870, Jackson County, Tennessee in District 11, page 237 is a Mary Price, age 55,with daughter Melissa, 12; sons John 8; George 4 and Babe Osburn(male), age 12 and Sarah Osburn, age 30. I think Richard and Babe are the same, but I don't know if Sarah is Harrison's daughter or daughter in law or if Richard is her son.
