Robert, Thanks for your reply. I have come across a lot of William Bryants too! I'm sorry, but I don't know any more than that he reportedly came from Ireland and lived in Rockingham Co., NC before coming to Patrick Co., VA where he died. The rest of my line (William to John, Sr. to Alexander to Homer to Curtis) all lived and died in Patrick Co., VA or nearby Martinsville/Henry Co, VA. Good luck in your search. If you should come across "my" William, please let me know.
