Hi -- I don't have an Edward, however, in researching my BRYANTs in Botetourt, Augusta, Goochland, etc, Cos in VA, I have Thomas Briand marrried to (maybe Elizabeth), children were : Stephenson Briant, Elizabeth Briant and Fanny Briant (maybe others). Stephenson's grandfather, Jaques Briand (the immigrant) bequeathed him 126 lbs . The will was done in Powhatan Co, in 1783. Don't know if this will help, but might give you a clue of some sort. Hope so! Cousn Mary in OK Mary Bryant Park crosstich@webtv.net
