This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Surnames: O'Bryan/Bryan/Bryant Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/yIB.2ACE/991 Message Board Post: I am looking for information on Ben R.Bryant my grandfather and/or his dad Ed.Bryant. Ed was born in Georgia but it is believed that Ben was born in Carroll County July 25, 1887. I would guess that they lived near Vadien since they farmed on the Big Black River. I cannot find then in the 1880 Census but I know that they were there. They changed their name from O'Bryan to Bryant during one of the census'. Please reply if you have any information. Thanks, Fay Roberts
