Eleanor, Can you give us more info on him...who did he marry? Where? Where did Byrant live? What states do you think he may have come from besides IN....When you check the census records for Bryant, always check to see who his neighbors were too as often families lived next door to each other. I have many William Henry Browns in my file..but none that close in age. I have a Nancy Bryant who married a James Brown but that was in 1803 in MA.. Perhaps it was from the Bryant/Brown connection, a generation or two later.. ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.
