"My grandmother, Elizabeth Hinkle Bryan, was the daughter of Charles and Elizabeth Hinkle of North Carolina. Grandfather John Bryan and Grandmother Elizabeth Hinkle Bryan had children as follows:

Elizabeth, born in 1798; Joseph, born Nov. 30th, 1800; Alice, born Feb. 13, 1805; Charles Hinkle (my father), born Dec. 14, 1807; John, born Dec 4th, 1810.

Elizabeth and Joseph were born at Bryan Station; all of the other children were born at Bryan’s Farm, in Jefferson County, now Oldham County, Kentucky.

I have never been very interested in genealogy, and therefore made little effort to trace my ancestry. After I have written this narrative, if I ever have time, I may try to find out where more of us came from and where we have scattered about."

yDna R-Y4010 from the Irish cluster L-226 Douglas Gregory Bryan states: It is my understanding that the descendants of John Bryan are not descended from Morgan nor a son of Joseph and Alice. John Bryan, the father of Charles Hinkle Bryan, is the correct profile. The other should be removed from parents.Seems there are two different Bryan branches claiming this John Bryan. Can we split them into two separate profiles because it is distorting the Y DNA information along my line on our Geni Profiles? It says we are R-BY32723 while my DNA testing shows me to actually be R-Y4010 from the Irish cluster L-226..
