Moses Willis Osborn was born in East Windsor, Tolland County, Connecticut, on 12 Oct 1809. He was the son of Moses Osborn and Mary Shaw.^[1]

On 11 Jun 1844, Moses applied for a license to marry Patience Margaret Heath in Erie County, Ohio.^[2] They were married on 18 Jun 1844, in Florence, by H. Dwight, Minister of the Gospel.^[3] Patience was born on 21 May 1814, and died little more than a year after her marriage, on 16 Jul 1845, in Erie County, Ohio. She was buried in the Poyer Cemetery in Berlin Heights, Erie County, Ohio.^[4]

On 11 May 1852, Moses married Mary E. (or H.) Akers in Vermilion, Florence Township, Erie County, Ohio. His brother-in-law, Rev. Eldad Barber (now pastor of a Congregational Church in Florence), officiated.^[6]
