Sandy - Saw you note on the net. I'm dead ened in my search which had been very brief. However in my short number of years doing this I have come to the conclusion that the majority of all Bryant sons were named William. Do you by chance know if any of your line ened up in Ga or Ala in the 1820's 30's or 1840's? Thank you for your help. Robert Bryant ----- Original Message ----- From: "A.

Greetings: I am a beginner in genealogy and am enjoying reading all the postings about the Bryan/Bryant family. I would like to find out more about my ggggrandfather, William Bryan/Bryant, who was reportedly born in Ireland on October 15, 1760, and died in Patrick Co., VA on June 29, 1848. His wife was Sarah (possibly Johnson) from Rockingham Co., NC, where they lived for awhile before going to VA, and where my gggrandfather, John Bryant Sr., was born abt. 1809. I would appreciate any suggestions as to how I might find out more about the Ireland connection. In the last few days, I read a posting about someone named John who is, I believe, doing DNA research, but I am not clear whether he has information about specific people such as this William. Also, I don't know how to reach him. I am wondering how to trace William Bryant/Bryant's ancestors in Ireland and how to find out when he came to America, etc. All ideas will be appreciated! Thanks for all you do. Sandy B. Taylor

Seeking information on the following: My great grandmother was Nancy Jane Bryant. She was married to Isaiah DeWitt. They resided in McDonald County, Missouri.The 1880 census indicates that Nancy Jane was born in Missouri and her parents in Kentucky and Tennessee. She may have lived in the Springdale, Missouri area. Appreciate any help. wgwalters@sbcglobal.net.

I am looking for a source of proof of the marriage of Verna Montgmery Brown to Maude Lee Bryant, supposedly in September 1921, arguably on the 10th or 11th. I'm also looking a source of proof of the marriage of Winifred Marguerite Brown to Calvin Alvernon Dixon in Mississippi or maybe Alabama on March 25, 1942. I have been unsuccessful in finding documentation in either case. Thanks for any and all assistance.

That's why I shared it with the research group - so we could compare information and figure out what was correct and what wasn't. Most recently, a couple of years ago I had been using their old family tree program so I could refer my family to it when they wanted information. Something happened to where I could no longer access the trees so I deleted them. Or I thought I had. I had four trees (one for each of my grandparents) and only three of them were deleted. The other one is still there - with me as the contact person with an old invalid e-mail address. I can't access it to make changes. I contacted Ancestry and they finally told me that trees containing invalid contact info are eventually removed. That's well and good, but before that happens that information is out there for the whole world to see and for other researchers to pass on. And to be melded into One World Tree. I hate to think of all the inaccurate information that has been passed on. > By Marsha > It also won't let me correct the spelling of my mother's name.

It probably connects back in Ireland. Our Josiah was supposedly born and raised in S. Carolina. He has frequently been confused with the Josiah Bryant from Reading, Mass. who was married to Lydia Green. Our Josiah was married to Lydia Ratliff. We didn't know her maiden name until last year. Hopefully, now that we know her name - along with the DNA testing - we'll be able to put that confusion to rest for good. John is working on a project with the DNA results back in Ireland. He has isolated the Bryant name into a specific subgroup and is looking for other family names that are connected to it. Bryant - or Bryan - is a very old Irish name and is believed to have originated with Brian Boru, the last High King of Ireland. It also belongs to a subgroup that is not very common. If you want more information on that please contact John. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Burgess" <stocker7@fairpoint.net> To: "Marsha Buck" <DeepRoots@sisna.com>; <bryant@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, February 16, 2007 6:05 AM Subject: Re: [BRYANT] DNA/John & William Bryant/Montgomery Co.

Hi Listers: Any information on William Bryant/Brian who is said to have married "Polisha" Martin (or similar name), daughter of Jos. Lynch Martin b 1820 GA to 1891 Salina OK and Julia Lombard, of Cherokee ancestry. Parents? Siblings? Date/Place of birth or death? Many thanks!!

By Marsha It also won't let me correct the spelling of my mother's name. It's good for helping find other people working on the same lines but I wouldn't trust the accuracy of the info at all. For this reason, I am keeping my tree private. Marsha, I am Eleanor Bryant Prieskorn, and the same thing happened to me, But it was unproven information that I was listing to work on, and thought it was private and it was not. I tried to make the correct changes and was unable to, I wrote them (ancestry.com) and unless I had a pass word I was unable to make changes. My information is out there for all to see and it is not correct, so anyone that has copied that information has incorrect information and is passing it on to other people as the correct. Ancestry.com is very good in some aspect but the Trees are not one of them, unless you know just what you are doing. not their fault but the person that is using the on line program to work on their family tree, they have hit a wrong button and posted their work not knowing it. Please use the ancestry.com trees as a guide not proven work. I have posted the correct information on this site and it is not much for I did find that my William Henry Bryant b 03, Nov 1868 Indiana, was a Brown until after 1880 census, the next time I picked him up was the 1900 census and he was a Bryant, raised by Thomas Franklin Bryant of NH and his wife Catherine Harty Bryant of Indiana. Be careful what you take as proven. Use all information as a guideline. I do not put my information on line now unless proven.

You can make you tree public or keep it private. I typed my parents names into my tree and it found their Social Security death info and census records right away. It even found death info for my GGgrandfather - something we had been looking for and hadn't been able to find. I have a bit of a problem with the One World Tree. It collects info from all the trees that are submitted and compiles them according to the majority of the information. Somehow it picked up my sister and her husband and showed them as being deceased when they weren't. All their personal information was there for the whole world to see - just because her husband had the same name as somebody who lived over 100 years ago. It also won't let me correct the spelling of my mother's name. It's good for helping find other people working on the same lines but I wouldn't trust the accuracy of the info at all. For this reason, I am keeping my tree private. It can still be viewed by those doing searches but it isn't added to One World Tree. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Marilyn Burgess" <stocker7@fairpoint.net> To: <rlbtwo@suddenlink.net>; <bryant@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 5:24 PM Subject: Re: [BRYANT] John & William Bryant/Montgomery Co.
