Marsha, I am interested in the DNA testing that has been done on the Bryant's. I have hit the proverbial brick wall and feel that my only hope of extending my ancestery back any further is to find a DNA match. You indicated that there has been DNA testing on your Bryants. Were those test done by rootsweb, or were the results reported to roots web?

My brother has also had DNA done with family tree DNA. Our family came from Maine and Massachusetts but we have made connections in Oklahoma to one common ancestor. He joined the Bryan group because that was the only one available but we have had some close matches with Bryans as well. In Maine it was spelled either Briant or Bryant, but there was a brother in Plymouth, Mass who spelled it Bryan in the early 1600's. Unfortunately we have not been able to find what happened to him.

I think I missed the thread re the DNA testing. I, too, would be interested in having the DNA done in order to assist me in my Bryant ancestry. My great great grandfather, John "Jack" Bryant appears to have been married twice (maybe at the same times) with families in different locations and not knowing about each other until his death about 1890. My gggmother, John/Jack's wife was Ellender Allen. They resided in Long Island (now named Bryant), Jackson County, Alabama. Their families can be found on the Marion County, TN and Jackson Co, AL censuses. Most of my ancestors were within three counties & states from 1850. This area is located where the states of TN, GA and AL connect - the counties being, Marion Co. TN, Dade County, GA and Jackson Co, AL. My ggftr (son of John & Ellender) was George Washington Bryant (b 1850 d 1910 Jefferson Co AL). He married Emily Sims. My grandfather, Standifer Bryant married Amanda Boatner. They died 1948 and 1952 respectively and are buried in Ebenezer Cemetery atop Sand Mtn in Bryant, Alabama. Any help re DNA testing would be appreciated.

Hi, T'lene, Your message caught my eye, as I also had Ancestors on Sand Mountain. My Grandfather, Thomas Jefferson Bryant, settled there in the late 1890's and was a successful farmer, in Section, AL. He raised 8 children, and is buried in the Section Cemetery. I had the DNA testing done, by Family Tree DNA. I found one lady, who's probably related to me. They can only do male DNA, you know. It's painless and reasonable, so worth a try. In srite of that, I still can't find the Father of Lewis E. Bryan, from Barnwell County, SC!! Good luck, Jimmy T'Lene wrote: >I think I missed the thread re the DNA testing.

This site will answer a lot of your questions. The easiest and most useful DNA is y DNA and you must have an unbroken male line to actually connect to others many years back. I was able to connect to a common Bryant immigrant in Plymouth in 1643. It costs about $169. dollars for the 25 marker and one should really get that or the 37 marker if you can afford it. I don't even contact anyone in the twelve marker group unless the name is Bryan or Bryant. They send a kit and you just swab the inside of your cheek and send it back. Then they contact you every time they do a match and you can contact the person to exchange histories. You really have to have at least a few generations of history to compare. I'd be happy to answer any questions you might have. ----- Original Message ----- From: "T'Lene" <tlene@optilink.us> To: <bryant@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, February 14, 2007 2:54 PM Subject: Re: [BRYANT] John & William Bryant/Montgomery Co.
