Thanks Carleen. By the Bryan could be Irish because alot of the Irish dropped the "O" in there names for some reaspn or another. I have found this to be true with my O' Bannon's. Some of them dropped the "O" and just used Bannon. Cathy Psalms 108:1-4 "My heart is steadfast, O God, my heart is steadfast! I will sing and make melody! Awake, O my soul! Awake, O harp and lyre! I will awake the dawn! I will give thanks to the thee, O Lord, among the peoples, I will sing praises to thee among the nations. For they steadfast love is great above the heavens, thy faithfulness reaches to the clouds."(RSV)

BRIAN BORU WAS 1ST ARD-RI OF IRELAND. HIS IMMEDIATE DESCENDANTS WERE NAMED O'BRIAIN. O'BRIAIN, IN IRELAND, BECAME O'BRIEN. A SEPT MOVED NORTH OF THOMOND AND WENT FROM O'BRIEN TO O'BRYAN. SOME OF THOSE O'BRYANS MOVED INTO LONDON ENGLAND AREA AND BECAME BRYANT. THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHERN STATES'S CENSUS, IT APPEARS AS: O'BRIEN, BRIEN, BRIENT, O'BRYAN, BRYAN, BRYANT,O'BRYANT, O'BRIANT,O'BRIENT. SOME IN AL., TN.,GA., & SC ARE BLACK. THE SPELLING OF THE NAME FROM THE SHIPPING RECORDS WOULD POINT TOWARD ORIGIN.
