She may have an index to probate records and I was thinking I saw a Will book there also. She may be able to tell you if there was a Will, or any adoption papers. Monisa's contact information in on the Randolph county website. If she can't help you I will try and look myself the next trip I make over to Randolph County. Let me know what you find out.

Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/Bk.2ADE/1499.1 Message Board Post: Here are a few biographies I found. I hope they help. Gina JACOB DRIVER, one of the oldest and most experienced farmers of Stony Creek Township, Randolph County, was born in Porter County, Ohio, September 6, 1806. His parents were John and Catherine (Sample) Driver, natives of Pennsylvania, who settled in Ohio at an early day. There were five children in their family, named Rebecca, deceased widow of Morgan Mills; James, a deceased farmer of Stony Creek Township; Jacob, our subject; Anna, deceased wife of John McGuire, of Missouri; Margaret, deceased wife of Thomas Rhody, of this county. The parents were married in Porter County, Ohio, where they lived and rented land until 1823, when they came to Randolph County, and hewed out a home from the wilderness just east of Macksville, enduring all the hardships incident to pioneer life, but by arduous toil and close economy earning a comfortable livelihood until death closed their career - the mother dying in 1827 and the father in 1828. They had long been members of the Lutheran Church, ! and their remains lie interred side by side in the Mackswell Cemetery. Jacob Driver descends from an old and patriotic ancestry, his maternal grandfather having served in the Revolutionary War. He came to Randolph County with his paren6s when he was but seventeen years of age, and with them he remained until his marriage, July 23, 1835, to Miss Amanda, daughter of Joab McNees, of Tennessee. To his prolific union have been born eleven children, as follows: Sarah A., deceased; John, a farmer of Randolph County; Joab, Catherine, Martha L, George R., Amanda, Eliza E., and Andrew H., all deceased; and James H., and Elias N., both farmers of stony Creek Township. After the marriage of Jacob and Amanda Driver, they settled on the present homestead of eighty acres, which Mr. Driver had entered in 1831. Later he purchased eighty acres additional, and still later ten acres more, thus establishing a splendid farm of 170 acres. On this place Mrs. Driver, who was born October 19, 1819, passed away March 20, 1860, and was buried in the Macksville Cemetery. Mr. Driver, as his wife, has been a life long member of the Christian Church, and in politics has been a Republican ever since that party has been formed. He has ever lived an honest and industrious life, and has consequently won the respect and esteem of his fellow citizens. Elias N. Driver, the youngest child born to Jacob and Amanda (McNees) Driver, is a native of Stony Creek Township, Randolph County, born March 10, 1860. He has passed his life on the old homestead, attending school until seventeen years of age, since which age he has devoted his entire attention to agriculture, taking great pride in tilling the soil and in producing fine crops. He is an enthusiast in his vocation, and is one of the most successful and enterprising young farmers of the county. He is a prominent member of the F.M.B.A., and in politics has always been a Republican. JAMES H. DRIVER, one of Randolph County's most prosperous farmers, was born in that county August 23, 1854, a son of Jacob and Margaret (McNees) Driver. He was reared on a farm and educated in the excellent common schools of Randolph, and at fifteen years of age had finished his attendance and adopted the trade of painting, which he followed for six years; after which he followed carpentry for three years. May 27, 1877, he was united I marriage with Phebe A., daughter of Peter and Eliza A. (Keener) Teaver, who were born in Randolph County, October 10, 1857, the second a family of five children, viz: Mary A., deceased; Phebe A.; Barbara, married to John Herron; David; Ruth, now Mrs. Harry Orville. To Mr. and Mrs. Driver have been born two children, viz: Earlie E., who died when but eight months old, and Russell L., at home. After marriage Mr. Driver located on the farm that he still occupies, and which he has placed under a state of high cultivation. He is industrious and co! nsequently prosperous, and is highly respected by his neighbors for his excellent moral character. In politics he is a Republican, and, with his wife, is a consistent member of the Christian Church. Being natives of Randolph County, Mr. and Mrs. Driver are widely known within its limits, and, to a large extend, beyond its limits.

Surnames: Campbell, McAdams Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Bk.2ADE/1503 Message Board Post: I'm looking for more information on the sons of Alexander Campbell and Sarah Ann McAdams. They had 3 sons, one (Howard) who died at the age of 12. The other two sons, Cassius James and Taylor M, were just 9 and 16 (respectively) in the year 1865. Alexander died May 18th, 1865, in Randolph Co. I do not have an exact death date for Sarah, but she also died in 1865. I'm wondering who took care of Cassius and Taylor after their parents died. Perhaps their half-brother Hezekiah Campbell, from Alexander's previous marriage to Susanna Brown? In the 1880 census, Cassius is living with William A Campbell, one of Hezekiah's sons. This is a little family mystery I'm trying to shed some light on, and any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
