I'm not sure exactly who Ezekiel Bryan age 86 was, but he very likely was one of mine.  He was from Rockingham County, Virginia.  It seems likely that he was the grandson of my sixth great grandfather Thomas Bryan Sr.  If so, however, I do not know which of Thomas's sons would have been Ezekiel's father.  Another possibility is that Ezekiel was Thomas's grandnephew, with Ezekiel's grandfather having been one of Thomas's brothers.

Nancy Driver age 77 was Ezekiel's wife.  I do not know who her parents were.  Joseph age 46, Daniel age 41, and Mary age 34 were the children of Ezekiel and Nancy.  Joseph Bryan Jr. age 17 was Ezekiel's grandson, but I'm not sure who Joseph Jr.'s father was.
