Please look at image no. 2 for a Thomas Winning of Shalbourne for 1622. There you will see the bold and nicely scripted signiture of John Brian (Briant). I do not have my Manor records here in Washington, but I do recall that John Brian (Briant) was the father of Abagail Briant our ancestor. Interestingly this sheds a little light on the Briants in that John was literate. The manor records I have sort out the Briants fairly well and I will report on this again in September. They had lived in Shalbourne from Queen Elizabeth's time. John was the son of a William or vice-versa. Bruce Carpenter Clinton, WA
