John, I have some information that I wish to share with you about some family history.... I have a 2 volume set of books, " Allardice Of That Ilk". Title page is, " Monuments and Monumental Inscriptions in Scotland" by the Rev. Charles Rogers, LL.D., F.S.A. Scot., They were published in London for the Grampian Club., Charles Griffin and Co. Stationers' Hall Court. 1872. Preface to Volume II: In completing the second volume of this work, the author closes a task which has upwards of eleven years occupied his attention. Reviewing his performance, he could have wished that his labours had been more fruitful, and that the work had presented monumnetal records of every Scotish parish. As it is, the omissions are not very numerous; while a necrological register has been produced ampler than any existing heretofore. When the author entered upon his undertaking, he sought to awaken public attention to the degraded condition of churchyards. As local reporters were generally reluctant to comprose parochial honour, he was led to abandon this part of his enterprise, not however before collecting some strange facts. Of these, a few may be related. At New Machar, Aberdeenshire, the peasantry obtain their winter fuel by storing up portions of decayed coffins from the churchyard. During the summer of 1862 the parish schoolmaster of Ellon was obliged to cease teaching, owing to his schoolroom which adjoined the churchyard, being saturated with the exhalations or morality. In the churchyard of Gamrie, overlooking the Moray Frith, bones fragments of coffins, and portions of gravestones are strewn about. The parochial sextons of Lewis and North Uist perform intermnets within six inches of the sruface, the coffins after a heavy shower being frequently exposed. The churchyard at Sandwich, in Orkney, is part of the undrained marsh, and at interments coffins are plunged into the water which fills every new made grave. These facts require no comment. Additional to those to whom he formerly expressed his obligations, the author cannot deny himself the satisfation of mentioning the considerable assistance he has received from papers on the graveyards of the north eastern counties prepared by Mr. Jervise. The author learns with pleasure that Mr. Jervise contemplates a separate publication. His work should have a place in the library of every Scottish archaeologist. Snowdoun Villa, Lewisham, Kent. October, 1872. Next 5 pages are a listing of the Parishes and their churhes. My information comes from page 282, which is from Kincardineshire, Fetteresso, pages 278-284. Tablets and monuments containing the following inscriptions are also to be found in the Barclay aisle: The grave of Robert Barclay, of Ury, and Elizabeth O'Brian, daughter of James O'Brian,, Esq., of London, and son of Colonel O'Brian, of the Kingdom of Ireland. He was grandson to Robert Barclay, of Ury, Author of the "Apology for the Quakers;" was born 20th July 1699, and died 10 October, 1760. This is the only time the O'Brian/O'Brien name is listed.....in either book. Sincerely, Dennis O'Bryant, (75) Thank you so much for the work you are doing with the DNA project.

I wish there would be several messages like Marynell's on this list. Martnell is probably the best person to ask about the mechanics of getting tested. My back ground is a engineering degree with graduate work in the field of Statistics. It was 40 years ago but it give me a different point of view. I think that we need larger sample size both in the number of markers tested and the number of people tested. We can get Y67 tested today. I have three difference gals tell me there trying to get their Bryant brothers tested. At some point we be like the Harris site and have may families of Bryant's that are tested. Then new Bryant"s tested can compare their results. I also think if we get many the Bryant's that have been in Ga (or VA 1780 to 1820 in my case) awhile it would show some connections. Then people could work together to get the paper trail each family has a different part of the puzzle both in DNA and records!!! DNA is different that record in that it can give information over several generations. It also does not get burn in courthouse fires. the best John Bryant #57501 at the O'Brien project We have two descendants from our early Moses Bryant b 1796 GA ancestor who have also been tested with Family Tree DNA of Houston. We have the line proved and would really like to find a match with someone who can help us get back another generation in time. The DNA projects really need Bryant direct line male participants. Please consider participating. Email me separately if you have questions. The testing is a cheek swab and the cost is cheaper if you join a project like the O'Brien one mentioned in an earlier email.

Here is the list of Testing companies and what Y STR they test for http://www.gendna.net/ydnacomp.htm These are test of marker that change very slow over time so they are good for generations. Both my cousin and me were tested for 67 marker at familytreeDNA. Each marker change about once in 500 generations so marker change are like a clock. There is 50%/50% chance this match will be less or more that 14 transmission events between the two males. MAtt amd I have 6 generations each to Josiah Briant b. 1754?, so we have 12 transmission events between us. As shown by this calculator. http://dna-project.clan-donald-usa.org/tmrca.htm this Calculator is free from Doug McDonald Both Matt and I use O'Brien project at familytreDNA http://www.familytreedna.com/public/obrien/ If you have been tested at famliytreeDNA you can go to your personal page and join this project today. You can give out your number. my is 57501 As of today a total of 50 Bryants have been tested at family tree DNA. As more people test your chance of finding new information goes up. For Y DNA testing to work you need a male that has direct male line to your ancestor. Here are some good example of what other families have done. http://www.harrisdna.org/results.html I think it is important to get the Y67 test so you have a good reference for the future. I had a match that was 35/37 and when we went to Y67 it was a 63/67 not worth the time we put in to it at Y37. It cost less to be in a project. WE need a bigger data base like one for Bryant's from certain area of the country. The only way to get there is for more BRYANTS TO GET TESTED. John Bryant #57501 at the O'Brien porject

There are public sites to view results This is one. http://www.ysearch.org/ There three types of DNA from Ireland Northwest , Southwest, Irish type III Here is the address of Irish Type III site This work is done by Dennis Wright for free. http://au.geocities.com/t120r61/Surnames.htm http://au.geocities.com/t120r61/STRMarkers.htm http://au.geocities.com/t120r61/Phylogram.htm We have verified that two of us are 4th cousins by a 65/67 match. http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ourbryants/bryantsite7.htm I do not share much information with those who are not willing to test who have a living living male Bryant. The way to get result is to test for the most marker you can afford that will build a data base. There are several Bryant families that have tested we need some one that computer wise to make Bryant project!!!!!! Roots people seam to want a sure thing, DNA testing is more like a good poker hand you have to ante up, before you get to know what the results may be. I now know where we came from in general area in Ireland. That we tie into the Bryan's of Boone fame but in Ireland about 300 to 400 years ago. Quite gabbing and get tested so the Bryant have a bigger Database to work with. John Bryant Irish Type III #57501 on the O'Brien Project at familytreeDNA

I don't believe you can get access to the DNA base. The base does not tell you who the ancestors are anyway. That is done by contacting matches after the results of individual testing comes back. For instance if I get a match notice and that person has agreed to be contacted, I contact them and we compare ancestries. If I don't have at least a partial ancestry history, the DNA testing wouldn't tell me much. The testing only tells you who you match up with. You can post an ancestry with your dna I believe but as far as I know, you can only get access if you match.

Robert, Thanks for your reply. I have come across a lot of William Bryants too! I'm sorry, but I don't know any more than that he reportedly came from Ireland and lived in Rockingham Co., NC before coming to Patrick Co., VA where he died. The rest of my line (William to John, Sr. to Alexander to Homer to Curtis) all lived and died in Patrick Co., VA or nearby Martinsville/Henry Co, VA. Good luck in your search. If you should come across "my" William, please let me know.

My particular branch of the Bryant family left Spartanburg, SC, in the late 1830's or very early 1840's and traveled by wagon to Calhoun Co., AL. My gggg grandfather, William F. (or T.) Bryant passed away in 1864 and is buried in the Hebron Baptist Church Cemetery, Ohatchee, AL. Some of the family stayed in Alabama and some moved on the Union Co., MS,after the Civil War. They settled in a community they called Buncombe Hill. Would love to exchange info with anyone working on this family. Linda

No, all Bryant's didn't have sons named William, my grandfather Jonathan Alexander Bryant is my dead end. He was born in Alabama in 1858 and his father was George W. Bryant. I am thinking there are a lot of George W. Bryants from Georgia that lived in Alabama and possible fought in the Civil War and was killed. I guess I should hope that there would be someone else from this family with some info and that is looking but apparently there isn't. Christine Bryant Scott
