Margaret,
I so believe that he was the father of my Great Grandmother May Cocke that married William W. Tate. Please contact me at
americafaye@sbcglobal.net so we can check records better. I am sorry it has taken so long to reply. We moved, and have been moving for it seems like " forever " in Dec. and am just now checking my emails. We can only get dial up where we moved to in the country. Something I need to get used to, but don't like. Anyway, I would love to hear more from you.
I also have a BRYANT in my line from the same area.
Rebecca
