Father ydna RU106 Richard Bryant

Mother Keziah Arroyah, {person of legend}

Wife: Anne Meese, daughter of Col. Henry Meese/Mary Ann Wahanganoche

Keziah (Wahanganoche) Bryant & sibling Mary Ann Meese need connection to their mother, Fnu daughter of "KaOkee" which is an applied totem name. Keziah & Mary Ann Wahanganoche were sisters & they need connected to the profile of their mother, wife of Wahanganoche who is the daughter of Ka Okee "Jane"

Source Deed records of Stafford Co Source: FTDNA ydna RU106 Family Group of Edward Bryant Source: Patawomeck Historian: Bill Deyo

Bryants father was probably the Richard Bryant who was transported to the Stafford area (then Westmoreland) about 1644 to 1650 by Christopher Boone, who patented land next to that of Capt. Giles Brent on 10 June 1654 Cavaliers and Pioneers, vol. I, p. 304, by N. M. Nugent).

As can be determined by the many patent records, the date of the patent is most often quite a few years after the actual transport of the people to Virginia. Five years seems to be the normal amount of time between the transport and the patent date, but I have seen some that are almost twice that, including one for Thomas Gerrard that was 9 years later.

The reference to the adjoining land of Capt. Giles Brent is important in the connection to Dr. Richard Bryant, as Brent had many dealings with Bryants grandfather, Chief Wananganoche, most of them unpleasant, and even, himself, was recorded in Colonial public records as having married the daughter of the Piscataway Chief, a Tribe that was once allied closely with the Patawomeck Tribe, as is stated in the MD public records.

Merge to father of Dr Richard Bryant and Dr. Richard Bryant, of Stafford County have the same dates and live on the same land. That means they are the same person one with a legitimate set of children with a will and the other set of children who inherited land by group gift deed traced back to Mary Meese, obviously not legimate children. The two profiles for the father of Dr. Richard Bryant, b. 1651 are ready for a merge. No one is able to find a reason why they can not be the same. Since one passed down his medicine kit was willed down to Richard Bryant, Jr is the same land owner going hither to and coming England on each trip resulting in different headright sponsorship on each trip and thereby picking up new lands x 4 (plus) but we tracked 4 and those lands got sold to others; therefore the land that got passed down from Mary Meese via Dr Bryant Sr to Silent Bryant to Robert Gallop & In-laws, stayed in the family. The Dept of Education in Virginia accepts this information and appears here talking about the murder of Chief Wahangonoche in Pasipetanzy, owned by Dr Richard Bryant. http://www.doe.virginia.gov/instruction/history/virginias-first-peo... More on that subject here: http://www.mcalearfamily.com/ps17/ps17_394.html
The Mariner Ship Surgeon is that same land owner of land 824 A tracked down to be the same as “[Richard Bryant, Jr'[ Bryant’s father was probably the Richard Bryant who was transported to the Stafford area (then Westmoreland) about 1644 to 1650 by Christopher Boon, who patented land next to that of Capt.

Nugent).” ~ ~ WIlliam Deyo, past president of Va Historical Society, also stated "As can be determined by the many patent records, the date of the patent is most often quite a few years after the actual transport of the people to Virginia.
