Surnames: Bryan, Holmes, Mahone Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/wd.2ADE/149.197.198.2 Message Board Post: I am sorry I cannot help you. All of the Mahones on my data base are of the 1800's or early 1900's; however, I would guess that he is related to the Talbot County, Georgia Mahones. The name "William Preston" was used in the family. In fact my grandfather's name was William Preston Bryan. Hope someone will be able to help you.
