For those interested: William Alexander O'Briant aka O'Brien s/o Alexander O'Briant and Emily Mary Whitfield b. Sept 15, 1864 Brushy Fork, Person Co., NC d. Oct 27, 1898 Olive Hill, Person Co., NC buried: Rogers-Stephens Cem., Person Co., NC married abt 1890 Person Co., NC Ida Sue Rogers d/o George A. Rogers and Jane A. Williams b. Nov 8, 1870 Person Co., NC d. Jan 27, 1891 Person Co., NC buried: Rogers-Stephens Cem., Person Co., NC From my visit to the cemetery, well maintained with many loved one from the Rogers connection. The husband and wife share a beautiful headstone, engraved in bold letters O'BRIEN William Alexander's name on one side and his wife on the other side. One son was born from their union William Alexander O'Brien b. Sept 16, 1891. Since he goes by the name Bill O'Brien, his search maybe a bit more difficult. From the library I was able to located further information concerning this family but mostly specific ROGERS details. I'll keep posting my findings thru this message board for all to share as well with hopes that others will do the same. Slan go foill = bye for now Catherine O'Briant Roanoke, VA
