Surnames: Julian Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/CYB.2ACE/276.2.1 Message Board Post: I can't be certain- because I'm still trying to link Isaac Julian to his proper father in Shelby Ohio cerca 1817. (There's 3 different Julian's in the town with kids, including Zacariah, Eli and Jesse.) I have census listings for Issac Julian's family in the Town of Berlin, in Bureau County, State of Illinois in both 1850 and 1870. Judging by the time frame you gave, I think you're looking for Isaac Julian - the uncle of my Isaac Julian. I don't have a lot of information on him but there are about 5 Isaacs descended from the "Rene St. Julien" line around that area. Some of the neighbors are hard to read, but they include: Lydia Sweet, Johnathan Smith, Robery Park, Henry Belknah?, John Stronghart, and Richard Avy. (1850) - also Clark Silah, Jay Andrew, Julia McGraw and Isaac's son, Welsey Julian. Also listed on the census was visitor Ralph Vickery - age 13, younger brother to Nancy Vickery-Julian (Wesley's wife)
