I noticed an Abner BRYANT in the 1830 census of Warren Co., TN. Did any of the older generations of this BRYANT family migrate to Jackson or Union Co., Illinois? There is an Abner BRYANT b. 1765 VA listed in the 1850 census of Jackson Co., IL. He is a near neighbor to the family of John T. ELLIS whose mother Celia (BRYANT) ELLIS is living with him. Celia BRYANT was the wife of Jonathan ELLIS who was in Warren Co., TN from at least 1805 until 1820. It just seems likely that the family of Abner BRYANT could be related to Celia (BRYANT) ELLIS since they lived so close. Others in the 1850 household of the Illinois Abner BRYANT were Hubord/Hubbard b. 1793, Jacob b. 1827, and Louisa b. 1835. There is a Harvey BRYANT b. 1824 listed in the Jackson Co., IL mortality schedule for 1850. There was also a Caleb BRYANT who married in Union Co., Illinois in 1824. Are any of these given names used in the Warren Co., TN BRYANT line? Sherry
