No will has been found for David Bryan. At the time of his death
he had not conveyed the land purchased as above described as Lot 170
in Monroe County, Georgia. This land, therefore, descended to
his heirs-in-law, consisting of his widow, Dorcas Bryan and his surviving
children. These heirs-in-law subsequently conveyed Lot 170 to
George G. Dyess. The Indenture, dated January 4, 1833 and recorded
in Deed Book H, page 124, of the land records of Monroe County, Georgia
indicated that David Bryan left 7 heirs-in-law who then owned Lot 170
in seven equal undivided shares. Six of the heirs joined in this
conveyance. Under then existing Georgia law, husbands of married
women had the right to control and convey their wife's real property.
The indenture dated January 4, 1833, is executed by the following:
(1) Dorcas Bryan of Monroe County, Ga. (widow of David
Bryan)
(2) William B. Bryan of Monroe County, Ga. (son)
(3) Silvanus S. Bryan of Monroe County, Ga. (son)
(4) Walter Gibson of Monroe County, Ga. (as husband
of Elizabeth Bryan, daughter)
(5) David Bryan of Talbot County, Ga. (son)
(6) James Holmes of Bibb County, Ga. (who joined in this
conveyance as the husband of daughter, Mary Bryan)
My ancestor is (5) David Bryan of Talbot County, Georgia, son.
I would appreciate hearing from anyone who has further information on
this family.
