Life History

Notes

• "I have my great grandmother's supplemental application.  Her name was Fannie Bryant Bruce.  Her father was Hardy Bryant.  Hardy's mom was Fannie Green, daughter of Daniel Green & Mary Green.  There was the name Mashack in the old Green Bible, said William Bryant, brother of Hardy Bryant.  They were rejected on their Cherokee blood, but I know they were Cherokee.  Fannie Green was born in 1808, had a brother Isaac 1801, John 1804, Thomas 1806, Fannie 1808, Daniel 1810, Elizabeth 1812, Andrew Jackson 1815, Toliver 1817, Enoch 1820, Isona 1823."

  In 1840, Elizabeth is counted as the lone female in the household enumerated under the name of her husband J H Moss.  J H (Hutson) and Elizabeth are found next door to her father Daniel Green in Hall County, Georgia, along with her brothers Isaac and Thomas in the next two houses.

  I cannot tell how this last child is related to the Mosses.  The age would suggest she is a granddaughter.  John Moss appears to be Hutson's father, and perhaps Martha is his sister.
