Andersons of Colonial N. Carolina

I don’t think I have published this particular iteration of my early Chowan “Precinct”… but several of my friends and cohorts are delving in to the early Bryan(t)s of Nansemond…

Note the early settlers around the Chowan River near Maul’s Haven… and then venture westward to near what I refer to as the “Tuscarora Town”. In my opinion, these folks are related and “VERY” confusing to figure out. Which we (my cohorts and co-consprators) are hot on the trail but constantly perplexed.

Also, and adding more confusion, in what I could call the “central” Bryan(t)s along say, the Catawhiskie Creek area (roughly) and extending westward and eastward.

And not to help the situation… are some Bryan(t)s around the Meherrin River area.

But more to my friends’ study at the moment is the area around the Tuscarora Town area… I think

a “what the heck” and “good grief” tidbit is say, the Edward Brayon of Catawathee Meadow in 1714…under him is a James Bryant of 1715… I suspect these dudes may be related to another Bryant tribe of Nansemond who ventured southwestward from Nansemond while some other brothers ventured southeastward from Nansemond… confused yet?

It seems to me there are at least 3 generations of intermingled relatives to figure out… perhaps my map can help. No one has succeeded yet… so there is that.
