Hello Robert. 1. I was not the person who asked about connection to Covington Co. I do not know of any of my Bryants settling there. 2. I haven't really researched those Bryants that were in Alabama before 1840. My John Bryant came to Alabama in the late 1840's. I have found references to a William who was declared a "lunatic" and have copies of some of that, but no age or ancestry on him. (I think we discussed him briefly before, also.) 3. I do have a transcription of bible records that list some Bryants. The transcription says that one or two pages are missing. The first entry listed is a William T. Bryant born(de) 29 January 1830. It then lists: James W. Bryant - 14 March 1831 John T. Bryant - 17 March 1832 Cornelius L. Bryant - 21 December 1833 Martha C. Bryant - 18 September 1835 Julious S. Bryant - 2 May 1837 Mary E. Bryant - 24 April 1839 Felix T. Bryant - 9 June 1840 Louisiana Bryant - 29 August 1841 Sarah J. Bryant - 24 April 1843 Josephine V. Bryant - 21 September 1845 Malissia Bryant - 26 September 1847 C.L. Bryant and E.A. Driggers - married 7 December 1865 Malissia Bryant and James Slocumb married Sept. 1867 - James M. Bryant b. Apr 23, 1866 Janie A. Bryant b. Oct 15, 1871 James & Janie married June 21, 1891 It goes on to list James & Janie's children, then the children of CL & EA, and Slocumb births. Then a few deaths (not Wm. T) and more births, but not who the parents were. I typed all that & then realized you are looking for a William "G", or a Thomas "J" . I got confused & thought you needed William T. Oh, well. Maybe this will help someone. - Jeff - On 10/18/06, robert bryant <rlbtwo@cox.net> wrote: > > Jeff - I'm not aware of any of my clan being in Covington Co however My > g-g-father had a son, his oldest, named William G who was in Winston > Co Ala > in 1880.
