John Thomas O'Brien age 75 was the son of Brian O'Brien Jr. and Mary Ann Thomas, and the grandson of Brien O'Brien Sr.  Brien O'Brien Sr. is a candidate to have been my eighth great grandfather, but this is not yet proven.

Hannah G. Britton age 45 was John's second wife. 

Brien O'Brien Sr. possibly was the immigrant ancestor of my Bryan line from County Clare, Ireland.  In my line, the O'Bryan spelling changed to to Bryan.  My earliest proven ancestor is my seventh great grandfather Cornelius O'Bryan, and Cornelius might have been the son of Brien O'Brien Sr.
