I HAVE LINKED PERMELIA BRYANT AS THE MOTHER TO MY GFATHER, JAMES LOUIS/LEWIS BRYANT DOB 1-2-1873 LOCATED IN ROBERTSON COUNTY ON THE 1880 CENSUS. PERMELIA BRYANT WAS LISTED AS LAST NAME (HARTMAN SHE MARRIED THOMAS D HARTMAN IN ROBERTSON COUNTY IN 1876) THERE WAS ALSO LISTED JIMMIE, ELLEN, MOLLIE, THOMAS, AND CLARA (ALL HARTMAN'S). HOWEVER THOMAS HAS BEEN MARRIED TO A ANN ELIZA BEDDO PRIOR TO PERMELIA AN I BELEIVE JIMMIE AND MOLLIE WAS FROM THAT MARRIAGE, ELLEN, JAMES, AND THOMAS WAS FROM PERMELIA'S FIRST MARRIAGE AND CLARA WAS FROM THOMAS AND PERMELIA'S MARRIAGE. PERMELIA WAS BORN IN KENTUCKY IN 1843; BUT I DO NOT KNOW WHERE NOR HER MAIDEN NAME. THIS IS THE FIRST BREAK I HAVE GOTTEN AS FAR AS WHERE MY GRANDFATER MIGHT HAVE BEEN BORN. CAN YOU HELP LOCATE PERMELIA'S MAIDEN OR WHERE SHE AND HER FIRST HUSBAND LIVED? I KNOW HER FIRST HUSBAND DIED PRIOR TO MY GRANDFATERS BIRTH IN 1873.
