I was recently contacted by someone in possession of a Bible about Morgan Co families. This is not her family but she wants to find it a good home. In it are several inscriptions which the present owner graciously transcribed. I will get these on the Morgan site eventually but would like to tell family members about the bible. She's offering it to a family member for the cost of postage. The oldest clipping concerned "Grandpa Adrian"-John Adrian oldest child of Jacob and Elizabeth Adrian b. in Jefferson Co, Ohio Sept 22, 1827. He moved with his parents to Morgan Co. in the fall of 1842, the farm selected as a home, being in Windsor township, all in woods. He helped his father to clear the farm and culivate the soil. August 5 1852 he was united in marriage to Elizabeth Rainey.... The predominate name in the Bible information is Carpenter A marriage certificate for J.E. Carpenter of Morgan Co Ohio and Josie Adrian of Morgan Co. Ohio were joined together in Holy Matrimony at MCConnelsville according to the Oridnance of God and the Laws of the state of Ohio on the 2nd day of November 1881. Other inscriptions about Carpenters There is more, but I think this will give you a sense of the family. Please email me mailto:shanroy@bellsouth.net if you are interested and I'll get you in contact with the present owner and give you more information.
