Well, I've now seen two versions of this story. I have "supposedly" two
separate copies of the same record which claim different relationships.
Both records are typescripts claiming to be Crawford's Weekly, edited by
Bruce Crawford, September 8, 1923. Both claim that most of the information
was provided by Jonathan Brickey(or Brickley) Wells. The first states that
Zachariah married "a Miss Osborne" who was "a first cosuin to Easter, the
wife of Isaac Richmond." The second version claims that "Miss Osborne" was
a "first cousin of Isaac Richmond." Now, I'm confused(as usual).

I should have been more explicit. The question was supposed to have been
has anyone tried to follow up on the "cousin to Easter/Ester Osborne (or
whatever her maiden name might have been) wife of Issac Richmond and
found
out if it tracks back to the same family as Abigail and why do they
think
they were cousins?
