By the mid 1840's Billy, Lavina, and their children came with a train of wagons traveling to Arkansas. They settled in the white house [white river township?] community area of Washington county where Billy ran and operated a store, providing for his children. By this time his older children were marrying and starting lives of their own. Here in White Rock Community William, and lavina lived out their lives.”

From other researchers:
- Nancy Osburn was actually twice married. Her first husband was William "Buck" Rose. They divorced, and both remarried. Nancy's second husband was Wiley Blevins. Buck Rose married 2) Sarah Hale.

RESEARCH NOTES
- Did she also have a daughter Nancy Caroline Blivins 1849 Johnson KY who married James F Walker?

- The dates aren’t adding up. If this Nancy was born in 1827, she couldn’t have had Jonathan Riley in 1838, let alone be married previously as well. Is the gravesone for a different Nancy and Wily Blevens?

- Another researcher says she was born about 1815.
Nancy Jane first married William “Buck” ROSE. They were divorced.

From other researchers:
- William “Buck” Rose, first husband of Nancy Osburn; they divorced. Her married again to Sarah Hale
