  • Notes 
    • 1820 Elbert Co, GA census records

      Moses Bryin, 26-45 years old
      3 females between 16-26
      1 female 26-45 years old

      Living a few houses away is Jesse Ginn, father of Nancy Ginn (wife of Moses) and Ruffin Ginn who is the brother of Nancy. There are also some Harcrows living close by, this is the family of the wife of Jesse Ginn.


      1830 Franklin Co, TN census records

      Moses Bryan, 30-40 years old
      2 males under 5 years of age (this would include Gilbert)
      1 female under 5
      4 females between 5 and 10
      2 females between 10 and 15
      1 female between 30-40 years of age


      1840 Monroe County, TN census records

      Moses Briant, between 40-50
      1 male under 5
      1 male between 5-10
      1 male between 10-15 (Gilbert)
      2 females under 5
      1 female between 5-10
      3 females between 10-15
      2 females between 15-20
      1 female between 20-30 (new wife)


      There is also a John Bryan living close by, born between 1775-1794. It is not clear if this is a brother of Moses or possibly his father.



      1850 Dade County Georgia census records:

      Household 159, District 21

      Gilbert C Bryon, 26 years old, born GA
      Nancy 37, born NC
      William, 6, born GA
      Anna, 15, born TN
      Lucinda, 13, born TN
      Sela, 11, born TN
      Joel, 9, born GA
      Julyan, 7, born GA
      Rebecca, 5, born GA
      William, 3, born GA
      Isaac, 9/12, born GA

      It would seem that Nancy Dorsen had been married before she married Gilbert and the children listed as living with them include those from her first marriage. Perhaps Dorsen is not her maiden name then. Gilbert and his family are living next door to his sister Mary who had married Isaac Doyle.

      Several houses away is found the following family:

      Jefferson Lowe, 33, born in TN
      Louisa, 30, born in AL
      Sarah, 11, born TN
      Elizabeth, 9, born GA
      James, 7, born GA
      Octavia, 5, born GA
      Katharine, 2, born GA
      Richmond, 4, born GA
      Martha, 3, born GA
      Eli, 1, born GA
      Levi 1, born GA (twins)

      The last 4 children are clearly the children of Gilbert Bryant and Nancy. This family is living next door to a Mrs Mary Bryan, 46, born NC.

      Several houses in the other direction is listed the following family:

      Moses Bryan, 64, farmer, born GA
      Phebe, 37, born SC
      Matilda, 15, born TN
      James, 12, born TN
      Thomas, 7, born TN
      John, 6, born TN
      Robert, 4, born TN
      Butler,, 2, born GA

      Moses Bryan is the father of Gilbert Bryan and is living with his second family there. Next to Moses is living William Bryan who is probably his brother.
