Henry Osborne

Henry Osborne

Henry Osborne (August 21, 1751 – November 9, 1800) was a public official from Pennsylvania and Georgia.

Born in Ireland, he emigrated to Pennsylvania in 1779, where he became a lawyer. He served in various offices in Pennsylvania during the American Revolution, but was removed from office in 1783 by the Supreme Executive Council for bigamy. He then moved to Georgia, where he held various offices, and was elected to the Georgia Assembly, serving from 1786 to 1788. He was elected as a delegate to the Continental Congress in 1786 but did not attend. He served as a judge in Georgia but was removed from office and convicted by the Georgia senate in December 1791 of election fraud in the election of Anthony Wayne to the U.S. House of Representatives. His citizenship was restored under the Georgia constitution of 1798.
