While leafing through some information on another family branch (the Stricklands), I read an interesting tidbit about my Bryant connection. In the article, the granddaughter of Julia Swindall Strickland (daughter-in-law of Lucretia Bryant Strickland and Richard Strickland Sr.) recalls Julia relating Lucretia's heritage and her connection to George Washington. Of course, no one bothered to record this for posterity! I believe Lucretia Bryant was born in Virginia but she married Richard Strickland in Nash County, NC. Does anyone know of a VA/NC Bryant family that might have some connection to the Washington family? I appreciate your assistance. Cindy Ranucci
