  • Notes 
    • Louisiana Osbin Daugherty was a twin, but not an identical one. She was the "beautiful" sister, while her twin Siotha (note the old Irish name) was "plain." The story goes that her mother, Malinda Osbin, was one of several poor children in a family that had to hire out to people around Grayson County. Malinda worked for many years as a servant in the house of Caneyville storeowner, Stephen Bond. When she was 39, she gave birth to the twin girls, Louisiana and Siotha, whom Stephen Bond supported until their adulthood. At least some of Stephen's descendants claimed the relationship with Lou and Aunt Si. Louisiana was born in April, 1870, in Grayson County, Kentucky, and died March 12, 1957. She is buried by her husband, Austin Columbus, and near her son John Henry, who was killed at age 17 in a hunting accident. (Source: Donna Hart)
