There was the widow Anne Bryant who re-married in England to John Doane. They arrive in America with Anne's three sons, Thomas Bryant, Stephen Bryant and John Bryant. Thomas and Stephen were bonded to Samuel Eddy and John Shaw respectively. I don't know which of the three sons was William Cullen Bryant's direct ancestor.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00500934666840531841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31084276.post-7711759995522670312008-06-11T15:17:00.000-05:002008-06-11T15:17:00.000-05:00Janelle: I have given up trying to prove or dispro...Janelle: I have given up trying to prove or disprove this legend relating to my family.seniorwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02199929354675860080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31084276.post-62061609619967557672008-06-11T09:03:00.000-05:002008-06-11T09:03:00.000-05:00I have the same family legend but I having a diffi...I have the same family legend but I having a difficult finding the exact connection.
