Billie, I don't know if this is the same guy, but I found an Augustus Gaines BRYANT, b. Jan. 3, 1810 in Hall Co., GA; died Oct 30, 1882 in GA; father - Stephen BRYANT; mother - Mary Ann GREEN; married Mary Ann __?__ on Dec. 15, 1831 in Hall Co. GA. I found some in Tennesee, but don't know middle name: Augusta BRYANT b. about 1822, in Robertson, TN; married Mahala Ann WILLIAMS on May 22, 1848 Augustus BRYANT b. 1832 in Lincoln, TN; father - William BRYANT; mother Lucinda The above data was found at www.familysearch.org I am looking for the parents of John Bryant b. 1812 in GA. He named one of his sons William Augustus, so I am interested in these family names, looking for a connection. - Jeff Bryant -
