Hi, this is a sticky family.My 6th g-gram was Mary Bryan dau of Suzannah and Andrew Viney.There is also an Andrew Jr who married a Suzannah and had a daughter named Mary (Linder) Pirtle.Wanting to confirm that my Mary Bryan is the dau of Andrew Sr. and not the dau of Andrew Jr.They were born within a few years of each other so it is tough!
