I am looking for information that will lead me to the parents of Joseph Marion BRYANT. Accordng to his tombstone he was born 18 May 1973 and died 24 May 1955. He is buried at Hopewell Baptist in Cherokee County NC. He married Augusta STILES and raised his family in Cherokee County NC. I cannot find him on any census records for 1880 in NC, TN, GA. He variously was called Marion, Joseph Marion, J.M. I checked census records for 1880 with ALL those names. He would not be on the 1900 census with his parents since his first child was born 1899. Any help at all will be greatly appreciated. If you have family in Cherokee County North Carolina or surrounding areas, please visit my web stie and see if you can find them. http://www.tribalpages.com/tribes/fadedgenes Also check out the Cherokee_County_NC_genealogy_and_Pics group at yahoo. I have quite a few pics of Cherokee County residents there.
Could this be who you are looking for? There is a John E & Mary Bryan in 1880 Hot House Twp, Cherokee Co, NC with a 7 year old son, Joseph M. They are on the same census page (284 B & C) as Charles F & Mary Stiles and their daughters, Florence & Augusta. I have Campbell Co, GA Bryants in my line and their names get spelled a multitude of ways, Bryan, Briant, etc. Linda Auburn, CA ----- Original Message ----- From: "Faded Genes" <faded_genes@charter.net> To: <BRYANT-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, November 09, 2004 1:15 PM Subject: Joseph Marion BRYANT 1873-1955 NC >I am looking for information that will lead me to the parents of Joseph >Marion BRYANT.
