Thank you for posting that Amy Cote and Marvin Welborn. I have multiple matches for surname Bryan and the same Bryan line. It is a direct line from my Grandmother's ancestors and includes multiple Warren/Plantagenet/Cornwall matches as well as Bourchier (not as many Bourchier). All of my Bryan matches match the pedigree perfectly (that is before it the tree became fragmented and disconnected). All of my Bryan matches are on chromosome 2. Every end location number matches precisely. I have no doubt; this is the Bryan line in question. My DNA match is to a descendant of James Bryant Jr..b. 1686-/1690 Isle Wight,,Virginia,USA, d. 1751 Northhampton NC, USA. The common ancestor between my Bryan's and my matches Bryan is Sir Thomas Bryan, II, Kt. b. 06/01/1464. My MRA in the Bryan line is Hannah McDaniel (Bryan) b. 1770, married to Henry McDaniel. She is my 4th GGM so that's pretty close. Anyway, this is a line you used to be able to research and it was true before it got disconnected. I also have Fitzgerald ancestors so they got disconnected in the process along with my Bourchier, Plantagenet's and other ancestors so this makes it harder but not impossible to research, but only if you ignore all the disconnects and research from there to see if any of it matches or is true by DNA before agreeing with any disconnect. The mystery of who Sir Francis Bryan's parent of his son is NN. I think Joan hated him. Did they have a child before they married? How could she hide it if true? If they did, he would be illegitimate. If his son is by another Woman, who is she? I have 6 matches to my Bryan ancestors. The oldest common ancestor is Sir Thomas Bryan, II, Kt. b. 06/01/1464. I also have a perfect match to Sir Francis Bryan himself so that means these Bryan's are all related to each other, upline from Sir Francis Bryan and downline from him by surname Bryan (before the tree was disconnected) and sideways through various Bryan Cousins. There is no other way they are related to each other except by this path. I also have DNA matches to other nearby family members including Boone (de Bohun), Stafford, Butler, and many many more who match by DNA, Surname and End Location Number. Everything lines up and matches the pedigree. There is no way it would line up and match the pedigree by coincidence. It matches because the pedigree is correct and should not be disconnected. At the very least, one can post Sir Francis Bryan's Mother as either illegitimate or NN.
