Biography

Mentioned in 18320422fms_whs, along with his wife.

Adrian, son of Peter Holbert, born Aug. 11, 1809, in Minisink, is a man of good business ability, and has led a life of great activity, and mostly devoted to agricultural pursuits. For some two years after reaching the age of twenty-three he carried on a general store, in connection with Silas C. Brown, his brother-in-law, at Centreville, and also at Millsburg, then settled on a farm in Monroe; but after about four years, in 1836, he purchased the Valentine farm, in the town of Goshen--said to be one of the most productive farms in Orange County--which he carried on until 1861, and sold to his son, Jesse A. Holbert, and removed to Goshen village.
In 1868 he went to New York City, and for two years was engaged in the milk business, and then returned to Goshen. He had built one house in Goshen prior to going to the city, and he now built another after his return.
Like many other men who pass their middle life in active duties of farm work and become restless under inactivity, so with Mr. Holbert, and in 1879 he left the village and settled on a few acres of land near his old homestead, where he has erected a beautiful and substantial residence that would do honor to village real estate, where he expects to spend the remainder of his days. Mr. Holbert has been in every sense of the term a representative farmer of Orange County, and all the appointments of his well-regulated premises show enterprise, thrift, and care.
In 1832 he married Hannah, daughter of Joshua Sayer, of Minisink, who was born Sept. 15, 1809, and died Nov. 20, 1843. The children born of this marriage are Charles, of Kansas; Hannah, wife of George Graham, of Greenville; Mariette, wife of Albert W. Slater, of Centralia, Kan.; Sarah, wife of Richard Wilson, died in Wallkill; and Jesse A.
His second wife was Harriet, daughter of John Wisner, of Minisink, whom he married in 1845, and who died Jan. 14, 1868, leaving one child, Anna.
His present wife is Frances, daughter of Joshua and Jemima (Sayer) Wells, and granddaughter of Joshua Wells, a representative of an old family in the town of Goshen, and who are of English descent. She was born Dec. 19, 1811, and married Mr. Holbert, Dec. 22, 1870.
