BRIAND, BRYANT, BURGESS, DONAHOE, DONAHUE -
An old family letter written by Virginia Dial states: [bracket comments are Judy's] (parentheses
are Virginia's)
"Great-grandfather, Henry Donahue's father was, Michael Donahue
who married a French gal - Louise Briand [this might be a spelling for 'Bryant']-
Great-grandfather Henry was a short dark Frenchman [I think this means that he took after his
mother's looks] - (we have pictures of Great-great grandfather and grandmother) Michael was born
about 1791 - great big raw boned med-framed Irishman born during Washington's administration.
Great-grand-mother Donahue was a Burgess [Sarah] (my grand-mother Dial's aunt), and
according to all who knew her, the finest lady in the land - a very lovely person.
The
Donahue's hove over from the "auld sod" to Virginia. Michael born in Va. went as
frontiersman to Indiana, then to Iowa & then to Kansas - is buried at Valley Falls, Kansas
(pictures were taken in "Leaven-town" of all things) Julie [Julia Electra Donahue, Henry's
dau and Michael's grand dau] remembered them both. They produced fourteen boys and two girls!!!"
A family story has it that Michael Donahoe (born nearer 1789) was not approved of by
Louise's family. Her father forbid the marriage, so Michael and Louise had a "woods" marriage...
i. e. they ran off together. By their children's births, they were in Indiana 1809, then
Kentucky, then Illinois, then Iowa, then Nebraska, then Kansas. I would like to find Michael's
family and Louise Briand (Bryant)'s family. A census says that Louise was born in
South Carolina.

JOHNSON, SPARKS -
Searching for Richard Lindsey Johnson, married to Mary Polly Sparks, son of James
Johnson. This entire family moved from Virginia to Alabama between 1844 and 1850. I don't
know which county they moved from, but the 1850 Ala. census states that Mary Polly was born in
North Carolina, so I suspect it was somewhere near there. Any information is greatly appreciated.
