Lavinia Bryan183,184, daughter of Benjamin K. Bryan and Elizabeth Brawford,. Birth: 15 June 1827, Virginia.184

It is a guess that Lavinia Bryan was the daughter of Benjamin K. Bryan and Elizabeth (Polly) Brawford. There were two unknown females age 15-19 enumerated household of Benjamin K. Bryan in 1840 in the census for Marion County, Missouri. Between 1840 and 1850, there were four marriages in Marion County for Bryan women. Two of the four women have been identified as daughters of Lewis Bryan and Polly Cartmell. The other two Bryan women who were married in Marion County between 1840 and 1850 are therefore candidates to have been the daughters of Benjamin K. Bryan. Lavinia Bryan was married in 1843 in Marion County, she and her husband were enumerated in the 1850 census in Marion County, and she was not a daughter of Lewis Bryan and Polly Cartmell. (RGB)
