My husband's mother was Pearl Bryant - probably born in southern Indiana - or closer to Indianapolis. She died 1931/2(?). She married James E. Hopper.

Our Bryant DNA was done under the O'Brien surname project at familytreedna.com. My cousin, John, is a direct male descendant. Here's the link to John's info on our group website: http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ourbryants/bryantsite7.htm John's e-mail address is also on that page and I know he would be happy to answer DNA questions.

Ancestry has a new online family tree program that searchers their records for you as you put in data. 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.

Have you done an exhaustive search online with something like Ancestry.com? Sometimes if you are patient, you can work your line back with census records, of course the earliest census records you can get in the United States is 1790. My experience was that once I worked back even three or four generations, I could often connect with someone else's work. Ancestry.com has a section called One World Tree which is a posting of others who have researched similar lines. Ancestry.com is fairly expensive but even a short subscription can be very productive. If you have any specific information on TJ Bryant, such as spouse, birth date and death date, I can do a quick search, but sometimes there are so many that it takes a long time to locate the one you need. There were more Bryant families in Georgia in 1880 than any other state 3402. Certainly if you get a close match on DNA, you might get some help from some others who can fill in the blanks for you. ----- Original Message ----- From: <rlbtwo@suddenlink.net> To: <bryant@rootsweb.com> Sent: Thursday, February 15, 2007 5:34 PM Subject: Re: [BRYANT] John & William Bryant/Montgomery Co.

Marilyn - I've been following with interest your running commentary on DNA testing. as you seem to have some first hand experience with the process. I have been reluctant (even at the urging of a cousin who is also researching my line of Bryants) to do the DNA because I'm not convinced with the meager information we have, and the fact that we have hit a brick wall after my g-g-g-father, that I can really accomplish a great deal if anything at all. I do not have the names, locations, or any data what so ever, on any of the line prior to my GGG father Thomas Jefferson Bryant in Alabama in the 1850's-70 and the census record that states he was born in GA. Birthplace unknown. One item that caught my eye was your comment in the last paragraph of your email (included) that you should have at least a few generations to compare. With only three generations (my father, grandfather and g-g-father) then nothing - what is your opinion?

This site will answer a lot of your questions. The easiest and most useful DNA is y DNA and you must have an unbroken male line to actually connect to others many years back. I was able to connect to a common Bryant immigrant in Plymouth in 1643. It costs about $169. dollars for the 25 marker and one should really get that or the 37 marker if you can afford it. I don't even contact anyone in the twelve marker group unless the name is Bryan or Bryant. They send a kit and you just swab the inside of your cheek and send it back. Then they contact you every time they do a match and you can contact the person to exchange histories. You really have to have at least a few generations of history to compare. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. ----- Original Message ----- From: "T'Lene" <tlene@optilink.us> To: <bryant@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 2:54 PM Subject: Re: [BRYANT] John & William Bryant/Montgomery Co.

I think I missed the thread re the DNA testing. I, too, would be interested in having the DNA done in order to assist me in my Bryant ancestry. My great great grandfather, John "Jack" Bryant appears to have been married twice (maybe at the same times) with families in different locations and not knowing about each other until his death about 1890. My gggmother, John/Jack's wife was Ellender Allen. They resided in Long Island (now named Bryant), Jackson County, Alabama. Their families can be found on the Marion County, TN and Jackson Co, AL censuses. Most of my ancestors were within three counties & states from 1850. This area is located where the states of TN, GA and AL connect - the counties being, Marion Co. TN, Dade County, GA and Jackson Co, AL. My ggftr (son of John & Ellender) was George Washington Bryant (b 1850 d 1910 Jefferson Co AL). He married Emily Sims. My grandfather, Standifer Bryant married Amanda Boatner. They died 1948 and 1952 respectively and are buried in Ebenezer Cemetery atop Sand Mtn in Bryant, Alabama. Any help re DNA testing would be appreciated.

My brother has also had DNA done with family tree DNA. Our family came from Maine and Massachusetts but we have made connections in Oklahoma to one common ancestor.

Marsha, I am interested in the DNA testing that has been done on the Bryant's. I have hit the proverbial brick wall and feel that my only hope of extending my ancestery back any further is to find a DNA match. You indicated that there has been DNA testing on your Bryants.

Hi, T'lene, Your message caught my eye, as I also had Ancestors on Sand Mountain. My Grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Bryant, settled there in the late 1890's and was a successful farmer, in Section, AL. He raised 8 children, and is buried in the Section Cemetery. I had the DNA testing done, by Family Tree DNA. I found one lady, who's probably related to me. They can only do male DNA, you know. It's painless and reasonable, so worth a try. In srite of that, I still can't find the Father of Lewis E. Bryan, from Barnwell County, SC!! Good luck, Jimmy T'Lene wrote: >I think I missed the thread re the DNA testing.

Jane, We have corresponded before about Charlotte. Our research group has your information and we are trying to determine if you fit into our family or not. Both Morgan and Wolfe counties contain part of what was originally Montgomery Co., KY. My ancestor is Josiah Bryant and I believe he is the one on the 1810 census in Montgomery Co., as well as on tax lists there in 1803, 1810 and 1812. Josiah had sons named Ambrose, Josiah, Gabriel, William and John. I'm trying to determine if the William and John on the Montgomery Co. tax lists are his sons or not. On the 1810 census for Montgomery Co. Josiah is listed with two young children who would appear to be his grandchildren. We're not sure whose children they are. On the 1810 tax list there are two adult males in Josiah's household but only one - Josiah - is on the census. I'd like to know who the other one is and whether or not he is the parent of these two children. One of the children is male, the other is female and they are both under age 10. In 1820 Josiah and Gabriel are listed on the census in Floyd Co., KY. Parts of Floyd Co. also used to be in Montgomery Co. From what we've been able to put together - and what we're trying to verify - is that our Josiah left Floyd Co., VA sometime after mid-1800 and moved to Montgomery Co., KY. His wife, Lydia, apparently died there after the 1810 census was taken and before 1818. By 1818 the part of Montgomery Co. where Josiah lived had become part of Floyd Co. because Josiah signed for the marriage of his daughter, Elizabeth, in Floyd Co. in 1818 to George Holland. In 1819 Josiah married the widow Elizabeth O'Hair in Floyd Co. and moved to her house and land. The children listed with him in 1820 are her children from her marriage to Michael O'Hair. In 1822 Elizabeth divorced Josiah, sold her land and moved to Indiana with her children. Josiah returned to Laurel Hill, which is now part of Wolfe Co., KY. George & Elizabeth Holland (or Hollon) lived in the Lacy Creek area and raised their children there. George Holland's brother also lived in Montgomery Co. KY and is later found in Wolfe Co. We have pretty well established what happened to William, Gabriel & Josiah Jr. They all ended up in Indiana. Our big mystery is John - and to some extent Ambrose. There are several other Bryants in Montgomery Co. - both on the census and tax lists that we can't identify either. At this point we have no idea if they are related to Josiah or if they are a whole other group of Bryants. The only thing we know for sure is that our Bryant family is not related to the Bryants in Green Co. KY and they are not part of the Bryans who married into the Boone family. This has been established through DNA testing. It would be great if we could find direct male descendants of other Kentucky & Virginia Bryants who would be willing to be tested so we could separate out the families more clearly.

Marsha, I have Bryants from Kentucky. I have not been able to go beyond my GGG Grandmother, Charlotte [ Lottie] Bryant Little though. All I know about her is that she was born in Kentucky. She and her husband, the Rev. Charles Little lived in or around Morgan and Wolfe Co, Kentucky and together had 21 children. I have been able to do a lot of work on the Little family but not on the Bryants. I too, am interested in Bryant's from Kentukcy. Wolfe County is in the eastern part of Kentucky. Where is Montgomery County? I'd like to know more about your Kentucky Bryant's. My GG Grandmother, Charlotte Bryant Little was born on December 25, 1809 in Kentucky and married Charles Little on May 31, 1824 in Morgan Co, Ky. and she died on July 4, 1887 in Morgan County, Ky. at a place called Lacy Creek where they had lived.

Marsha - My G-Grandfather Allen Boone Bryant and his wife Sarah Snider were both born in Virginia and died in Franklin Co, KY but they did NOT have a son named John or William. Sorry.
