Surnames: Bryant Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/1MB.2ACI/1975 Message Board Post: My great grandfather was James Bryant. He died in 1898 in Joplin during a smallpox epidemic. Can someone help me locate his grave. James was a miner and was married to Anna Elizabeth Davidson. She later moved to Chariton Co. Mo. where she remained. I would love to talk with anyone who may be connected to my line. His father was also James Bryant and they came from Amherst Co. Virginia.
