I am researching Rev. Joseph Ryan who was in Coosa and Green County, Alabama. He was there in the early 1800s. He was born in 1882 and was a well know minister in the Green County and Coosa County area. He Baptized my gr gr grandpapa Rev. Green Berry Waldrop in 1822 in a Bethel Baptist Church in a Township call' Five Miles."
