Posted on: Adair County Ky. Query Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/genbbs.cgi/USA/Ky/Adair/12929 Surname: DeMoss, Bryant ------------------------- Thanks for clearing that up. I have heard the Elizabeth Hardin (Harden) theory also, along with another marriage to a woman named Mary Owsley. Do you know who the Elizabeth DeMoss is who marries a John Bryant in Knox Co Ky 9 May 1811? Assuming for the moment that this marriage is valid at all, it opens an interesting thought. I am a DeMoss and this DeMoss line goes to an, as yet, unconnected Peter DeMoss and Mary Mellinger (that is, unconnected to Peter's parents and unconnected to my line, though I strongly suspect they are). But the Elizabeth DeMoss who marries a John Bryant (according to the above mentioned marriage) is connected to my line....hmmm. These DeMosses spend some time in Knox Co Ky, then on to Orange Co Indiana for most of the family, but Elizabeth is in Adair Co Ky at her death. Nancy Bryant and Charles DeMoss and Rachel Bryant and Peter DeMoss marry in Adair Co Ky, and Nancy dies in Iowa and is buried in Cass Co Indiana and Charles dies and is buried in Cass Co Indiana. There's a bunch of big question marks for me here. Thanks for your reply.
