Hi Ronnie,
My name is Carolyn Bostian and I married into the Bostian family 35 years ago and have been researching the family genealogy for about two years now.My husband, Raymond Bruce Bostian is a great great grandson of Napoleon Bonaparte Bostian who was a brother to William Madison Bostian.So any into regarding him would pretty much also apply to Napoleon relating to their common ancestry.You said that you traced William Madison Bostian's ancestry back to Rowan County, NC and Philadelphia and to Mathias Bastian who immigrated from Germany in 1751.Can you help me get there too?Do you have any online documentation that I can access?I have been told that William and Napoleon's father was John W. Bostian and mother was Martha Elizabeth Farmer but nothing more.Nothing about where they were from so I don't know where to search.How would your info connect to him?Can you give me the lineage so I can connect the pieces?Do you have any photos of any of these earlier ancesters?I would love to have copies or scanned copies by email, even better.You can reply here or directly to [email protected] for your help.
