John Bryant, II - Curator

That doesn’t work! :)

Can we explain this?

Son of John Bryant and Sarah (Murray) Bryant

Dna studies show John Bryant II to be the son of William Bryant . [https://sites.google.com/site/bryantsofrockislandcreek/john-bryant-...]

I think it’s a mixup of John Bryant’s. https://sites.google.com/site/bryantsofrockislandcreek/john-bryant-... Has John ll as son of John l, DNA proven.

Family of John Bryant, Sr.

Unfortunately, the Buckingham courthouse burned in 1869, destroying all deeds, wills, and other records stored in the clerk’s office. We have used DNA in combination with traditional genealogy to render this approximation of the family:

• John Bryant b. bef. 1732 d. 1798 in Buckingham Co, Va m1 Sarah Murray bef 1754
• Sarah ("Sally") Murray b. bef 1735 m. bef 1754
• John Jr. b. 5 Nov. 1754 in Albemarle Co, Va d. 29 March 1842 m. Judith Winfrey 1783-early 1786 (DNA proven)
• Austin b. ca 1760-1762 d. 1830s in Buckingham Co, Va m. Unknown bef 1781 (DNA proven)
• Anthony b. ca 1763 d. ca 1809 in Buckingham Co, Va m. Rhoda bef 1788 (DNA proven; Anthony was mamed for his mother's brother, who lived nearby)
• Mildred ("Millie") b. ca 1770 d. aft 1855 m. Thomas Ware 15 Oct 1787 (For more info, click here.)

Its quite possible that John Sr. had more than one wife. There could be additional sons that moved away from Buckingham County or died in the Revolutionary War, and there were almost certainly more daughters.
