Sandra, thank you , My great grandmother was Martha D Bryant, My great grandfather stated she born near Huntsville Ark, When? her parents were ,William & Martha Bryant. She married John ThomasBrown some time ,maybe in late 1850's ? ,Where, we always thought they married in Mo. now I am not sure. according to John T's application in 1906 He stated she was the mother of all his children,that Martha died in 1878, where ? we beleive she died in I T , but we know he was with an E A (wife) in Allen co Ks in1865 with a daughter V E , ( Violet Elizabeth) , Then we lost them. I don't know any of Martha's siblings, of course I have just now started on the Bryant's, wish I had done this way back. I don't know who your W m belongs to , but will keep in with you , because seems we are the only two that wants to search out this bunch, HaHa. Thank you again for anwsering my post. Helen
