I wish I could connect with your family and also that I could find Bryant's parents also. I remember that Art thought he might be related to Jesse Worrell, 1778, Wayne County, NC as they lived in same areas in NC and again in GA. This Jesse has been traced back to William Worrell who came to Isle of Wight (Wythe?) VA and died there after 1736. Jesse's son, Haywood Worrell came to Dale County, AL. The courthouse records in Dale County were destroyed in 1886 but remains 3 Worrell related records (Jesse, John D and Wesley Rudd whose son had married Hayward's daugters.) I think the assumption is that John D was John Durant Worrell. Art thought Bryant and my Wesley (who may have been named after a William Wesley for whom Wesley Rudd was also named who lived in NC by the family) traveled then on to Coosa. Perry would be South of Coosa and that is where Wesley Worrell resided at the time of his marriage in 1839. ! Marengo County borders Perry and was home to James Madison Worrell for a while. Both Bryant and Wesley had some children and descendants with similar names as all the Worrells in that area tend to do. My Thomas Jefferson Worrell served in Civil War at same time as your Thomas Jefferson Worrell.
