From Carroll Hayden:
In 1924 the United Daughters of the Confederacy developed a SoldiersQuestionnaire to gather information about the "old families". Flavius S.Landers said this about his ancestors (question 44) "Both of mygrandfathers came from Europe, was in some of the German State Rebellion,refugeed to this country and lived and died on the coast of NorthCarolina. I have a cousin of mine from Oxford (NC) who had visited thehome of his ancestors. He was an officer and ??? his ??? sword and otherregalia. My great great grandmother was Irish. Her name was O'Bryant". Onquestion #43 he said his mother was Sarah Landers.
This is proof of the origin of the two George's. His grandmother wasNancy O'Briant and great grandmother was Rebecca O'Briant and DennisO'Briant ggf. The were in Granville County in 1788 and lived there untilthey moved to Parsons County, North Carolina where Rebecca died in 1837and in her will she named all her children.
