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.
