George Washington Bryan was my 2nd great grandfather, born 1 April 1819 in Christian/Todd County, KY. He died 3 January 1864 in Davis County, IA. He was married to Sarah Stokes, born 26 August 1821 in Christian/Todd County, KY and died 22 October 1914 in Davis County, IA.
I have written several posts about the George Washington Bryan Bible. When I started writing this series of posts, I just sat with the Bible and went wherever it led me. Sometimes I may have made inaccurate conclusions! It was interesting to analyze the information and speculate about the various handwriting samples. I became ill before I finished the series and hope to get back to it one day soon. You can find links to all of the posts here.

How exciting to see your post of the Bryan Family Bible! George Washington Bryan was my great-great-great grandfather. His son George Larkin Bryan was the father of my great grandfather William Franklin. William’s only son Paul being my dad’s father. I am just now delving into the Bryan genealogy, along with a few cousins. A few years back my Dad and I drove through the small town of Drakesville, Davis County, Iowa in search of the family history. I am so excited to find your blog!
