Joseph Bryan

Quoted from a post by Diana McGinness:

"Joseph Bryan (31), who is called Joseph, Sr., in the Fayette's records, was born about 1751, as at his death in 1830, he was in his eightieth year. He married, in North Carolina, Esther _________ (probably Hampton) in 1772. His home in Fayette County was on the Bryan dirt road - now pike about six miles east of Lexington. They were the parents of ten children, viz: 85. Enoch Bryan 86. George Bryan 87. David Bryan 88. Sarah Bryan 89. Morgan Bryan 90. Ezekiel Bryan 91. William Bryan 92. Joseph Bryan 93. James Bryan 94. Mary (Polly) Bryan The names of these children are gathered from a suit in the Fayette Circuit Court, in settlement of the estate. Filed January 13 1846. The papers in this suit are in file number 1137. In this suit, Enoch Bryan, is one of the executors of his father, Joseph Bryan's will. (See Will Book 1-388) That his mother, Esther, died in Missouri in 1834. That the heirs living in Missouri were Morgan Bryan, Ezekiel Bryan, James Bryan's heirs, and John Power and wife. That the heirs in Kentucky were George Bryan, Enoch Bryan, William Bryan, Mary (Polly) White, Joseph Bryan, and David Bryan. After writing the foregoing, I received through the courtesy of the Honorable Jesse P. Crump, of Kansas City, MO, a large collection of manuscript and photostat copies of Kentucky papers, in the Wisconsin historical collection."

Thus there seems to be documentation for quite a few children born to and raised by Joseph Bryan and Esther Hampton. How would one go about having these people added to this record?
