Elisha Bryant Name Search: Indexed Records from My Old Files

Elisha Bryant is one of my brick walls. I will post his information later, but here are some miscellaneous (probably unrelated) records associated with my search for Elisha.

These are indexed records found by searching for the name. I concentrated my search in Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama, paying special attention to records related to Bryants in the center of that tri-state area (where those three states meet): Dade County, Georgia; Jackson County, Alabama; and Marion County, Tennessee. However, I found these Bryants who were in Southern states, but not necessarily in the three states or the specific counties I was concentrating on.

Elisha Bryant
3rd Cavalry Regt, Co. G
USA
Rank: Privt
Age: 22
Enlisted: 11    Mustered: Aug 31, 1863
Remarks:

---------------------------------------------

Confederate:

Elisha Bryant, Co. C, 43rd Infantry [Georgia, inferred]
Age not given
Year: 1862
Source: not known

Note: Men in the 43rd Infantry typically were from North Georgia. However, the counties listed for that regiment (Cherokee, Pickens, Forsyth, Hall, Jackson, and Banks) are not the ones I was really looking for for 'my' Elisha Bryant. I would expect him to be from in or near: Jackson Co., Alabama, Dade Co., Georgia, or Marion Co., Tennessee.

Second citation for Confederate listing, above:

in Organizations from the State of Georgia (NARA)

It does not give his company, though, just the regiment.

My own Elisha Bryant appears in census in Dade County, Georgia, in 1870 and 1880, with his (inferred) wife, Stacey, and their children. I have not yet posted those listings.
