This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: Adrian, Osborne, Osborn Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/mJ.2ADEB/91.5.1 Message Board Post: Ginah- I'm a descendant of John Adrian (b.1792), one of Jacob's sons. John died sometime in the 1860s, presumably in Crawford County. I know that John is Jacob's son because he gives his birthplace in the 1860 census as MD, and his birthdate coincides with a known son of Jacob's named John. Also, John got his land patent in Wooster for a farm in Crawford County on the same day that Mordecai Adrian, another son of Jacob's, got his land patent in Wooster for a farm in Jefferson County. My connection is through John's daughter, Mary, who married James Osborne in Crawford County, OH on 22 December 1859. It seemed to me from what you wrote about Jacob that you might have some information about the family that I haven't come across yet. I'm especially looking for anything on John's marriage to his wife Sarah. I don't know Sarah's surname, but I suspect that they were married in Baltimore. Any help would be appreciated!
