HART -
Francis J. Hart was one of my grandfather's brothers. He was born 9/16/1899 in Dunkirk,
IN. According to an internet SSDI search and a minimal amount of family info, I am fairly certain
he died somewhere in Virginia in February 1964. He and his wife, Geneva, were resided in Myncie,
IN in 1930. My grandfather's obit indicated he may have been living in Connersville, IN in
December 1960. I would greatly appreciate any info about Francis, his wife, children,
grandchildren, etc. Thank you for any assistance you might be able to provide.

BRYANT, ELMORE, SIMS -
Seek information on a Cornelius Bryant who came from Ireland and settled somewhere in VA
prior to Revolutionary War. He would be a 3rd great- grandfather to me. I know he had a least one
son names Reuben (note some information shows his name as Cornelius also). Reuben lived in IL and
married Agnes Sims and died in IL about 1862. It is believed that Reuben and Agnes had 8
children, one who was also named Cornelius M. Bryant, who lived in IL, married A Sarah
Elmore and moved to CA. Happy to exchange information with anyone who can tell me anything
about the Cornelius born in Ireland.
