Deeds in Hawkins County, Tennessee

The following Bryan/Bryant deeds were originally posted to the
Dumplin-L listserv by Billie McNamara.  I do not believe that
any of these Bryans connect with my Peter Bryan & Betty
Hubbard line.  Rather, I believe they must connect with the
Morgan Bryan & Martha Strode line.  Also, it is not clear if they
arrived in Hawkins County from North Carolina or from Virginia.
