I recently found two Bryants on the tax lists for Montgomery Co. KY and was wondering if any of you knew anything about them. John BRYANT is on the 1801 & 1802 tax list. William BRYANT is on the 1804 tax list. Thanks in advance, Marsha DeepRoots@sisna.com

Elizabeth [and/or Lizzie] BRYANT and William SEARS were parents of Elizabeth Sears, b. June 3, 1866, in Connectictut. According to his daughter's death certificate, William and Lizzie Bryant were both born in England. One census listiing for the daughter, however, says her mother, Lizzie Bryant, was born in New Jersey. The family may have lived in Illinois and Kansas. Their daughter married in Idaho Territory in 1883, but I do not know what happened to Lizzie. I think that she died before 1870. I welcome any suggestions. Roberta

Looking for information on Robert E. BRYANT, born 29 Apr 1858 in Missouri, married Charolette ROBINSON3 Feb 1884, died 19 Feb 1925 in Oklahoma. Charoletter died in 1948 and is buried in Norton, Norton Co., Kansas. Parents of Robert E. BRYANT unknown except his mother's name was Ann or Mary Ann possibly last name of HUNTER. Her father was Daton HUNTER. Mary Jo Douglass Mary Jo --------------------------------- Food fight? Enjoy some healthy debate in the Yahoo! Answers Food & Drink Q&A.

Ellie, Notes from another researcher, Roger, that I had: J. C. Bartlett, male, married, white, age 59, born NH, father born ME, mother born ME, gardener Hannah Bartlett, wife, female, married, white, age 60, born Canada, father born VT, mother born VT, keeping house Orin S. Bartlett, son, male, single, white, age 21, born IA, father born NH, mother born Canada It would appear that it is Hannah that Francis was living with prior to his death. I have no idea where JC and Hannah had been living in IA, but Orin would have been born about 1859. This is after Francis, Susannah, Rosannah, Gardner and Wilfred came to IA. I suspect that daughter Susannah may have lived in IA at some point as well since in 1880 she and her husband and children were in Mower County, MN just across the border from Allamakee. 1870 Census Makee Twp, Allamakee Co, IA Bartlett, J C 60 NH stone mason Bartlett, Hannah 50 Cananda Bartlett, Oran 12 IA Bartlett, Eliza 13 IA

Apparently you are all connecting with the NH Bryant's. I wish someone could tell me about the parent's of my Francis Bryant. All I know is that his Grandfather was William. He was a Loyalist who was granted land for himself and 2 of his sons. His in Hemmingford and his sons in Potton, Que. One of those sons was probably Francis' father. He is the one I am looking for.

Eleanor, I had a 30+ year brick wall on my Bryants. I found they went from Canada to Illinois to Iowa. Never would have suspected. I am now trying to find the parents. The earliest one I have is Francis Bryant b. March 02, 1787 Canada. Married Susanna Griggs. Daughter of John Griggs and Hannah Scouten. Francis' grandfather's name was most likely William. This fact and that your Bryant's are in the north is what makes me answer your e-mail. So many of them are southern. My Francis being born on March 2, 1787 can't be a brother to your Bartlett but the families could be related. This is what my Bryant family looks like. Please take a look and see if your related.

Go to RootsWeb World Connect Project and search using Rosanna McClure - look for entries posted by Marianne Smith and Duane Shoemaker. This information runs very similar to yours. You should also check for Bryants and McClures in Grayson County Va. Also if I am right these individuals Bryant/McClure can be traced to immigration ports on the East Coast. Also found McClure spelled McCluer. McClure and Bryant both have Ireland roots. Eleanor Call.

I have a William Bryan, many times found as Bryant, that I cannot find anywhere after his marriage license dated 30 May 1869 in Red River Co. TX. He married a woman with the name of Rosanna that was usually called by Annie. She was previously married so her name on the marriage license was Ann McClure. I have never been able to find out her maiden name. Their daughter was named Fanny Frances Bryant. Yes, Fanny and Frances, that is how it is on her death certificate and her marriage license. On the death certificate her parents are listed as William Bryant and Annie Bryant. So no help there. I have found Fanny on the 1900, 1910, 1920, and 1930 census, but I have never found William and Annie. William supposedly died shortly after Fanny was born in May 1870 so perhaps Annie remarried and used a different surname, but that I have not found either. On the four census I have for Fanny, she lists her father's place of birth as MO, AL, TN and then Northern Ireland. Her mother is always listed as being born in KY. I am guessing it was not wanted to be known to have a parent that immigrated from Ireland so Fanny did not give the correct birth place of her father until the 1930 Census. So here is my question, if one lived in Texas in 1869 (based on the marriage date), and you had immigrated to the US, at what port would one have entered? Was there any possibility that William could have landed in the gulf region and headed north across Texas? Or is it more probable that he landed on the east coast and headed west across the country like all others that ended up in northeast Texas at that time? I have searched immigration files for years that might be possible for my William and they are just filled with William Bryan, Bryant, O'Bryan, O'Bryant, O'Brien, etc. I did find a Fanny Bryan that immigrated with a baby named William that could fit his possible age, but how many other's could that also fit. Hoping to find that needle in the haystack one day... Paula
