    Bryant-187 and Bryant-750 do not represent the same person because: It's not clear that these are actually the same John Bryant. The children do not match between these two profiles. For example, my ancestor Samuel Bryant, which appears in Bryant-750, is not listed for Bryant-187. I'm concerned that my entire ancestor lineage might be lost if…

      == Research Notes ==
      In the master Geni profile, the curator emphasized not to confuse with the other [http://www.geni.com/people/John-Bryant/6000000001737665090 John Bryant, Jr.] on Geni, which is [[Bryant-956 | John Bryant]] on WikiTree.
      On March 8, 2014, Doug Warren changed [Bryant-957 | Abigail Bryant) to be wife of this Lieut. John Bryant, instead of [[Bryant-956 | John Bryant, Jr]], as was previously entered on WikiTree. Also, changed her children so their father was also this Lieut. John Bryant of Plympton, rather than the other John Bryant, Jr.
      As suggested by Linda Ellinger on April 29, 2014, Doug Warren approved the merge of John Bryant (Bryan-3532) into John Bryant (Bryant-2025). He also adopted the profile of Bryant-2025, which had previously been an orphan profile with no manager. Lieut. John Bryant is Doug's 7th great grandfather.
      The Bryant-2025 profile was initially created by [[Vasile-13 | Wilfred Vasile]] on Jun 16, 2012 with no information except the names of John and Abigail Bryant. There was a question on the profile page that seemed to indicate this was intended to represent ancestors of a John Wesley Bryant and Abigail Elliott who apparently lived in the 1880's but there was no linkage provided. Therefore, this empty profile was essentially replaced with Bryant-3532 but it had to be merged into the lower-numbered profile per WikiTree merge rules.
      * Geni: [[http://www.geni.com/people/Lieut-John-Bryant-of-Plympton/6000000011082212055 Lieut. John Bryant of Plympton]].

      === Disputed Origins ===Lieut. John Bryant of Plymouth is not the son of [[Bryant-8 | John Bryant]] and [[Lewis-10523 | Mary Lewis]]. Their son is [[Bryant-187 | John Bryant]], and he married Mary Battelle. A researcher has not learned his parentage despite considerable effort to do so.
      This Lieut. John married [[Bryant-741 | Abigail Bryant]], daughter of Stephen.
      The names and birth dates of the children of Lieut. John Bryant are different than the names and birth dates of John Bryant, son of John and Mary (Lewis) Bryant.Laptham, William B.
