Don't forget the Y-DNA testing participant must be a direct line male descendant of the BRYANT / BRIANT ancestor. If your line descends through a daughter of William BRIANT b ca 1812 the Y-DNA direct line will not go father to son etc. down through the generations. You will need a participant who is descended through a son of William BRIANT b ca 1812. -----Original Message----- From: bryant-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:bryant-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Cindy Tyson Sent: Tuesday, March 13, 2007 11:04 AM To: bryant@rootsweb.com Subject: [BRYANT] DNA testing and my Bryants I would love to find a male relative who would consent to being tested.

Please no fictitious names. I have worked that issue. You can list the Grandfathers name as the grand father. That protects the donor and his father. YDNA is not court admissible because chain of custody. Paternity test for legal reason are different. The YDNA called junk DNA for medical and legal purposes.This is to the best of my knowledge example http://boards.rootsweb.com/surnames.bryant/6452/mb.ashx can any one help this gal?

I do not know that the William Bryant listed in the Madison County 1860 census was connected to my line, but he was in the same county where an Elizabeth Bryant married married a William Sear in 1858. William Bryant's household raises many questions. Listed as a 28-year-old blacksmith, he was born in England. Presumably Emma, 22, b. England, was his wife. The two girls in the household, Kate 17 and Salina 11, were also born in England. The other person in the household was an Elizabeth Cook, age 23 b. England. The two girls would be too old to be children of William Bryant and Emma. Does anyone recognize any of these Bryants? My ancestor was Lizzie BRYANT, but unfortunately I know very little about her. Census records say she was born in England (one says New Jersey). Her daughter, Elizabeth Sear/Sears, was born to Lizzie and William Sears/Sears in Hartford, Connecticut, 1866. Elizabeth married in Idaho in 1883, but I can find no record there of her mother. Lizzie may have died or divorced as I believe that William had another wife in 1870. I wonder if Lizzie could have been related to the William Bryant above. Roberta

Linda - This is a shot in the dark. I'm looking for the parents (names unknown but think pershaps the father's name was William) of Thomas Jefferson Bryant who was my g-g-father. Census records indicate he was born in GA 1826-27 bithplace unknown. I have not been able to connect him with any of the Bryants at this point as I'm dead ended without names of parents or siblings. I can furnish a little more data on him if needed. There was a William Bryant listed in the 1840 Chambers County Ala census whom I think was possible related.

I have not left yet. I am interested in this My 4th Great grandfather by a family history that given us fits because my 3rd great grandmother story teller not a historian says Josiah Briant/Bryant was born in S. C. in the 1750's. Do either of these families have DNA samples on file. The 1st record that good is in Charity, VA 1778 to 1794 Patrick County land record John Bryant R1b1c* http://www.familytreedna.com/public/r1b/ Irish Type III http://au.geocities.com/t120r61/Irish_Type_III.htm #57501 at O’Brien project http://www.familytreedna.com/public/obrien/ Josiah Bryant Cooperative Research Group http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ourbryants/index.htm ----Original Message Follows---- From: elaine day <elainejd53@yahoo.com> Reply-To: bryant@rootsweb.com To: bryant@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [BRYANT] William Bryant in Alabama in 1830s and 1840s Date: Sun, 4 Mar 2007 09:23:54 -0800 (PST) I am very interested in your Bryant line.

Hi, Abigail, Our Bryants are indeed related. Reuben Bryant who married Nancy Tolleson was a brother to my gggg grandfather, William F. Bryant. William married Delilah Dillard, daughter of Joseph and Priscilla Wilkins Dillard about 1811. Sometime in the 1830s they left Spartanburg by wagon train and settled in Calhoun County, AL. They were buried in Hebron Baptist Church Cemetery, Ohatchee, AL - he in 1864 and she in 1875. Their oldest son, Terrell Bryant (my ggg grandfather) married Frances Charlotte Reid about 1836 in Spartanburg. The birthplace of some of their children is still debated - either Spartanburg or Calhoun Co., AL. Their oldest children were twin boys - Alfred (sometimes written Alford) and Alberry Bryant. Afred (my gg grandfather) married Mary Ann Elizabeth Phillips about 1866 in Calhoun Co., AL. By 1870-1871 they(Alfred and Mary Ann) had moved to Union Co., MS. I would love the exchange information with you and look forward to hearing from you.

Speaking of lots of William BRYANTs here is another. One of my BANKS cousins is married to a lady who's father was John Grady BRYANT and grandfather was William David BRYANT and I believe they were from the Gadsden, Ala, Etowah Co., area. I have wondered for a long time if they were related to my Floyd Co., Ga., Rome area BRYANT line who were originally from Spartanburg, SC BRYANT line. If anyone knows which BRYANT line these two gentlemen were from pls. contact me. Thanks In Advance, Abigail Banks Dennison Franklin, NC abanks@dnet.net abanks4@verizon.net
