This page documents multiple
families (Bryant, Matthews, Welch, Dillard, Sparks, Gossett, Harvey, McBee, Cannon, Kirby, etc) that are so interlinked
that the reader is best served by the data being resident in a
single data base. Please see the references in the photo
galleries for background on these families. The first item in the
individual family photo galleries provides some brief family
history. These pages contain some erroneous data, it's just the
best we happen to have right now. Use it at your own risk.
Additions/corrections to this
data are welcomed, criticism is not. Most reasonable requests will be honored.
The data on this web site is intended only for the personal use of the viewer, and absolutely no guarantees are made about it's accuracy. Better to
regard it as totally inaccurate. Please do not write and ask for sources or quote this site as a source.
