Yup! (sorry for the delay, commute)

Well there's a rather tenuous one, that Aragorn is Elrond's adopted son and Elrond of course is in The Hobbit.

It's Aragorn and Elrond, but more than simply adopted son...although only in Elfin terms could it be defined as a relationship...

Elros and Elrond are brothers, and Aragorn is descended from Elros. And Aragorn is (at least by the end of the book) Elrond's son-in-law...but adopted son is a very real relationship, not tenuous at all,

And the thread is yours.
