Bryant JP1, daughter of GILES BRYAN and ANNICE LOPER.  She was born Abt. 1861 in Near Antioch Church (Coffee) Al.1, and died Abt. 18851. The names and dates you show for Jane Bryant strongly suggest that her side of this family descends from Giles Bryan (1810-1882) of Coffee County. I have only a partial database with me now, but will provide you more off-line when I return home. I can also point you to the researchers who were nice enough to give me the data I have. Note that the name is variously spelled "Bryan" and "Bryant." As to the Hall and Dozier connections, I have a few miscellaneous marriages but no coordinated information. Note that one of Giles Bryan's wives was a Dozier.
