Hi, Linda, I was interested in the fact that you mentioned twin boys belonging to Terrell Bryant. My gg grandmother Fannie Bryant Crawley had three sets of twins. She was primarily of Cherokee blood, but was born in possibly either Georgia or Alabama in the 1840s. Do you know if there were Cherokee Bryants in your line and/or if there is a history of twins in more of the Bryants in your line? Thank you for sharing your information with us. Peggy Smith thesmithsshop@comcast.net -------------- Original message -------------- From: LindaLpearson@aol.com Hi, Abigail, Our Bryants are indeed related. Reuben Bryant who married Nancy Tolleson was a brother to my gggg grandfather, William F. Bryant. William married Delilah Dillard, daughter of Joseph and Priscilla Wilkins Dillard about 1811. Sometime in the 1830s they left Spartanburg by wagon train and settled in Calhoun County, AL. They were buried in Hebron Baptist Church Cemetery, Ohatchee, AL - he in 1864 and she in 1875. Their oldest son, Terrell Bryant (my ggg grandfather) married Frances Charlotte Reid about 1836 in Spartanburg. The birthplace of some of their children is still debated - either Spartanburg or Calhoun Co., AL. Their oldest children were twin boys - Alfred (sometimes written Alford) and Alberry Bryant. Afred (my gg grandfather) married Mary Ann Elizabeth Phillips about 1866 in Calhoun Co., AL. By 1870-1871 they(Alfred and Mary Ann) had moved to Union Co., MS. I would love the exchange information with you and look forward to hearing from you. Linda LindaLpe! arson@a ol.com ************************************** AOL now offers free email to everyone.

Linda - This is a shot in the dark. I'm looking for the parents (names unknown but think pershaps the father's name was William) of Thomas Jefferson Bryant who was my g-g-father. Census records indicate he was born in GA 1826-27 bithplace unknown. I have not been able to connect him with any of the Bryants at this point as I'm dead ended without names of parents or siblings. I can furnish a little more data on him if needed. There was a William Bryant listed in the 1840 Chambers County Ala census whom I think was possible related.
