This family probably changed last name from Bryant to O'Bryan when they settled in Hopkins Co, Kentucky. He and his wife, Sylvanis Frances Coplin (or Copeland) had 13 children. I am descended thru their son, James Turner O'Bryan (known as Turner), who was born in North Carolina abt 1790. I am stumped when I get to North Carolina and can't seem to get further than Thomas' family. Contact at GenePool@qwest.net
