David, I have absolutely nothing more about Lewis Franklin Bryant. As I understand it the person that did this research believed that he had come from Great Britain because prior to him there had been no other Bryant in SC. That may or may not be a good reason for the assumption that he came from Great Britain, but it is all that I have. At this point I would just be happy to have the name of his wife. She apparently had died before he did since she was not mentioned in his will but that is all I know. Barbara
