Hi Rebecca! Is White your married or maiden name? The reason I ask is my great grandmother was Helen White Ryan. Could just be coincidental. My lineage is as follows: JJR begat James Ira Ryan, begat George Edward Ryan, begat George Laural Ryan. George L. Ryan was my maternal grandfather. George Edward Ryan was married to Helen White. Unfortunately, I knew none of these relatives. Anyway, it's kind of fun to know some history of your family. I know many of the players names on the Carnes side, but nothing they did.

White is my madien name. I am doing research on them too.

Ok John Jacob Ryan's son George Washington Ryan was my great great grandfather. George Washington Ryan's Daughter Mabel Isbell Ryan married LeoTodd Bertrand. They had 13 children. Their last child born before LeoTodd died in 1924 my grandmother was born 1923. Gwendolyn Bertrand Scallon. Ok Gwendolyn Bertrand Scallon had 7 children. Her second to youngest child is my mother. Gwenda Lynn Scallon White married my father David Bryan White but everyone calls him Bryan. They only had two children. Me and my brother David Bryan White Jr.

Where are your White's from??? Mine are from the Vernon Parish area. I have been researching both sides of the family for about 5 years. Ever since high school. its very interesting.

George Washington Ryan was JJR Seniors' son or JJR Junior? I must be under the misguided impression JJR Senior only had two boys Issac Ryan (the one killed at the Alamo) and JJR Junior the "Father of Lake Charles." I also thought Junior had two boys one of whom never married and had no children and James Ira my link. I know zip about the Whites. I do have some goofy pictures of George Edward & Helen White. You know, the black & whites when no one smiled.

P.S. I am a man, so trying to commit details to memory is really asking for trouble.

George Washington Ryan's father was John Jacob Ryan Jr's son. I have recently visited the cemetary which they are buried. its bilbo cemetery next to an casino. parking lot. Now it has a statue of Jesus looking down on the graves. I think one of the decendants made that. its very beautiful..

Hi, I also am descended from John Jacob Ryan through his granddaughter Parthenia Thomas.

Hello! So who was Parthenia Thomas's father?? I have heard of that name from somewhere. I have researched it for awhile until the book that Aunt Marie Rebecca Ryan did and a George Mitchell completed. Very interesting.

Sincerely,
becca

My line is through Susanne Ryan and Pontellion Landry. I also have some info on the other Ryan children. Let me know if you want to exchange info or if I can help in any way.

Hi. Wondering if your John Jacob Ryan could be the father of my Daniel Ryan, born in 1788 in Paris, Virginia. Daniel married Agnes Singleton of Winchester, VA. Their son, James Ryan, married Elizabeth Woodard in Virginia in 1846. James and Elizabeth had 13 children; their son Samuel Enoch Ryan was my great grandfather, born in Virginia in 1860. Do you have any of these names? Thanks.
