I'm researching families listed in subject line.....However, I am particularly interested in Benjamin A. Bryan, listed in 1850 census in household of Redden Bryan....He married around 1855 but because Union Parish has lost marriage book from 1851-1870, I do not know who he married. He was friends to McAdams, seales and Davis', from research I have done. He lived next door to Post and Weaver. I can not find him in 1860 census, but he served in confederacy with Jackson Parish Sharpshooters, under Captain seales, and later Captain Davis......I believe he is shown in 1870 census Ward 3 HH3103 page 15, Enum 17 July 1970 with Julius McAdams( the Bayou bryant age 45 born in Ga. I believe is Benj A bryant...I know he had a son Benjamin Franklin A, who married a Davis when he got older...The Joseph, I am not sure of. In that same census, another son James R. and daughter Alice is living with a Post and another daughter Rachael is living with a wever family. I believe Benj.'s wife had died perhaps when the youngest daughter was born (4 yrs old) in 1870. Can anyone help with any info on this family....I can find no records of marriage, death or gravesite in area. Daughter Alice Francis married Mitch Robertson, Daughter rachel married Lafayette Post, son James R. (Jim) married first Callie Risinger, second Martha Shinpok. My grandfather Jacob C. (Son) was born when Callie and a twin died.....1887....Wish I could find the link between th McAdams, Post, Seales and Davis......Benj. was born in Ala. Not sure if Redden is his father or brother or brother in law.......could use all the help I can get. Thanks Barb Bryant Jester Limestone, Tenn.
