Mary Bryant is my gg grandmother, b. in N.C. about 1825/1826, d. 1865, and married my gg grandfather John H. Carr in 1844. Her parents were Garret Neal Bryant and Sarah[Polly] or Sally Frances Stanton. They moved from NC to TN about 1820. My grandmother, Dora Carr, always told us she was Black Dutch. I would appreciate any info concerning the Bryant ancestry that would connect with my line and any possible Black Dutch explanation. Ted Haase
