I have adopted Bryson-L. I am a descendant of several Brysons who lived in what is now Jackson county, North Carolina, as well as Upstate South Carolina and, earlier, Pennsylvania and northern Ireland. There are Bryson families throughout the U.S., Canada, and other former British colonies. Mine are the ones I know the most about: this list is to share information about any Brysons anywhere at any time. I inherited most of my Bryson information from a third cousin who continued research begun by her mother and an aunt on our mutual families. I have been able to add bits and pieces to it. I have been seriously pursuing genealogy since late 1984. I have been a member of many Internet mailing lists, not all genealogical, since early 1995. Elizabeth Whitaker
