• Notes

  Little has been found of "Mr. Adriance, Principal" of the Brookhaven Public (or Common) school in 1887. Two brief mentions of J. B. Adriance as a teacher were found in Suffolk County, NY, historical newspapers. No clear record in historical documents, such as census enumerations, has been found. Various genealogical resources have also been examined, again with no clear references to the present "Mr. Adriance." It has been here inferred that the "Bert Adriance" and "Harry Adriance" identified in the 1887 Brookhaven school photograph are his sons. [A James B. Adriance was found in the 1880 census for North Hector Village, Schulyer, NY. He was a school teacher. He had a son Albert, then twelve. If this is the "Bert" in the picture, then at the time of the picture he would have been nineteen; however, the "Bert" of the picture seems younger than this. In 1880, they also had a son Charles, aged five, who does not appear in the picture. Harry of the picture appears to be of approximately the same age as the boy adjacent to him—Sam Bumstead, and therefore may have been born shortly after the 1880 census. Any facts listed here for the family based on the 1880 census are therefore tentative.] [In 1874, a James B. Adriance was noted as a teacher at the Collegiate Institute in New York City, along with a John Adriance. (New York Daily Tribune).]
