Hi Carol,
In "History of Van Wert and Mercer Counties OH" p. 418, there is a
William Vian shown in Section 19, Black Creek Twp., with 80 acres in
1837.
In Vol IV, Mercer Co., Cemetery Inscriptions, p. 81, Maria A. Vian,
d/o J. 30 Jan 1883 1-10-7
St. Mary's Cemetery Row 3
Hope this helps -- good luck in your research!
