Hello cousins, aunts, uncles, etc. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading everyones postings, (I hope it is not considered rude?) I have done some research into John Vian, who supposedly came over during the Revolutionary War (is there any verification on this?) If John did come over during the Revolutionary War then the research I have found points to a probable birth date as well as his parents. So far what I have is that he was born (or Christened) on March 27, 1758 in Liskeard, Cornwall, England. (There are a multitude of Vian's from England, all congregated in the Cornwall area.) There are two possibilities for a John Vian from this time period. The reason I believe this John Vian is the one is that his parents were named William (born probably June 10, 1717) and Hannah ( maiden name Pudner, born January 28, 1727), (two of John Vian's childrens names). William and Hannah were married October 22, 1749. If this is close to what anyone else has found out, or they have different information, I sure would like to know. I also found some dates for Catherine Ruff and her parents Darius and Catherina. (Probably information that is already out there.)

Personally I am from Oregon, my Grandfather was Charles Theopholis Vian, (originally from Nebraska), son of Ira, son of William, son of John, son of William, son of John (the one in question...) Take care.
