ISAAC JULIAN:
The first of the name who came to America was Rene St. Julian, a native of Paris, and a soldier by profession. He fought under the Prince of Orange, afterward William III of England, at the Battle of the Boyne, in Ireland, July 1, 1690, which resulted in the defeat of the adherents of James II. For his services, he received from the king, a grant of land beyond the Mississippi. But the war of the Revolution gave a quietus to such grants. He came to this country near the close of the seventeenth century and settled on the eastern shore of Maryland.
He had a numerous family, principally sons, from whom all of the name in America are believed to have descended. One of these sons, Isaac Julian, as appears from "Irving's Life of Washington" was residing in Winchester, Virginia, in 1755. He removed to Randolph County, North Carolina where his descendants still reside.
A son of the above, also Isaac Julian, came to this County in 1815, and settled on the farm lately owned by John Bond, near Washington. He afterward removed to Greensboro, Henry County, where he died**. Isaac, Jacob, Rene, and Shubel, sons of the last named, all preceded him in coming to the West, and all, for a time, resided in this County, as also their sisters, who were married as follows:
Elizabeth to William Cox and still lives in Richmond; Ellen to Absalom Harvey now residing in Missouri; Sarah to Ezekiel Commons and resides in Rush County; Barbara to Samuel Howard; and Martha to Uriah Bulla, both deceased; Rene, a man of superior natural gifts, died many years since at Newcastle of "milk sickness," being at the time clerk of Henry County. Jacob died near Logansport, 29 Sep 1870; and Shubel still lives at Cadiz, Indiana.
