Adin Ornisby was born in Broome County, New York in about 1842. In the 1860 census for Stcuben County, New York he is listed as a farmer, age 19, living with his Father, Elihu, in Howard l'wp., Steuben County, New York. Adin married Sylvia Green in the Baptist Church, Towlesvilic, New York on January 1, 1862 by Rev. William L. Andrews. On August 5, 1862 he joined the 107th New York Infantry (Company K) at Elmira, New York. The 107th fought at the bloody battle of Antietam on September 17, 1862 and Adin was present for duty at that time. The 107th was transferred to the Western Theatre in late 1863 or early 1864 and was with General Sherman on his famous "March to the Sea". On May 18, 1864 Adin died of a renal infection at the Main Street U.S. Army Hospital in Covington, Kentucky. He is buried at the Camp Nelson Military Cemetary, section G, grave 1972. Camp Nelson is located about 25 miles south of Lexineton, Kentucky. On June 4, 1867 Adin's widow, Sylvia, was remarried to a Morton Brown of Howard Township, New York. They were married in Dryden, New York (Tompkins County) and lived in Groton, New York, also in Toinkins County. Prior to 1876 the Browns moved to Rosenhayn, New Jersey (Cumberland County) and lived there for some time. After several years in Rosenhayn Sylvia and Morton returned to New York and probably relocated somewhere in Tomkins County. Frank A. Ormsby then a young man, remained in Rosenhayn to pursue a trade. At the time of this writing I have been unable to locate where Syliva 0rmsby/ Brown is buried or when she died. However, I feel that it was probably in the Tornkins County area of New York State.
