I really don't recognize any of the other names either. I don't know exactly where in this country our family initiated, i.e., where an immigrant originally landed, or where the first Bryant of my family was born, etc. It may or may not have been originally in Virginia, but I have not been able to find that information as of yet. Good luck on your research and if I come across any of your family, I'll certainly let you know.
