Jane, We have corresponded before about Charlotte. Our research group has your information and we are trying to determine if you fit into our family or not. Both Morgan and Wolfe counties contain part of what was originally Montgomery Co., KY. My ancestor is Josiah Bryant and I believe he is the one on the 1810 census in Montgomery Co., as well as on tax lists there in 1803, 1810 and 1812. Josiah had sons named Ambrose, Josiah, Gabriel, William and John. I'm trying to determine if the William and John on the Montgomery Co. tax lists are his sons or not. On the 1810 census for Montgomery Co. Josiah is listed with two young children who would appear to be his grandchildren. We're not sure whose children they are. On the 1810 tax list there are two adult males in Josiah's household but only one - Josiah - is on the census. I'd like to know who the other one is and whether or not he is the parent of these two children. One of the children is male, the other is female and they are both under age 10. In 1820 Josiah and Gabriel are listed on the census in Floyd Co., KY. Parts of Floyd Co. also used to be in Montgomery Co. From what we've been able to put together - and what we're trying to verify - is that our Josiah left Floyd Co., VA sometime after mid-1800 and moved to Montgomery Co., KY. His wife, Lydia, apparently died there after the 1810 census was taken and before 1818. By 1818 the part of Montgomery Co. where Josiah lived had become part of Floyd Co. because Josiah signed for the marriage of his daughter, Elizabeth, in Floyd Co. in 1818 to George Holland. In 1819 Josiah married the widow Elizabeth O'Hair in Floyd Co. and moved to her house and land. The children listed with him in 1820 are her children from her marriage to Michael O'Hair. In 1822 Elizabeth divorced Josiah, sold her land and moved to Indiana with her children. Josiah returned to Laurel Hill, which is now part of Wolfe Co., KY. George & Elizabeth Holland (or Hollon) lived in the Lacy Creek area and raised their children there. George Holland's brother also lived in Montgomery Co. KY and is later found in Wolfe Co. We have pretty well established what happened to William, Gabriel & Josiah Jr. They all ended up in Indiana. Our big mystery is John - and to some extent Ambrose. There are several other Bryants in Montgomery Co. - both on the census and tax lists that we can't identify either. At this point we have no idea if they are related to Josiah or if they are a whole other group of Bryants. The only thing we know for sure is that our Bryant family is not related to the Bryants in Green Co. KY and they are not part of the Bryans who married into the Boone family. This has been established through DNA testing. It would be great if we could find direct male descendants of other Kentucky & Virginia Bryants who would be willing to be tested so we could separate out the families more clearly.
