I have not researched her family as I am deep into researching the Bryans. I can get you more details on her obit at a later date as it is not handy at this time. Was curious as to how you determined that Robert could not read or write. His mother Frankey Long Bryan gave land to a John Clark for the purpose of a schoolhouse which may have been one of the earliest in the Stanardsville area as the homeplace was situated on the Blue Run within the Octonia Grant. Our family has been in that area at least since the 1760's, and likely earlier; however, records are scarce.Susan B.

They must have worked long hours on that farm & set an example of a good work ethic for the next generations as evidenced by how well they all did.Colleen G.

Many a midnight oil burns on my computer. Check out "When I was 69" sometime. I've also got VA, KY, MO and TX in my trees.Barbara Rogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08351113054045427775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7429612700924625855.post-91030158736915616722014-02-17T22:27:34.457-05:002014-02-17T22:27:34.457-05:00Rather than those names being too old or too commo...Rather than those names being too old or too common, I was wondering if the struggle would really be with a wide variety of spelling aberrations.
