   FOLLOWING SALLY'S FOOTPRINTS TRACED IN THE MIDST OF TIME
   
   
   SARAH (SALLY) MCGEE WAS THE FOURTH OF NINE CHILDREN BY JOHN AND ESTER
   CLENDENON MCGEE. SHE WAS BORN IN KENTUCKY ON APRIL 4, 1802. SHE WAS
   PROBABLY IN HER TWENTIES WHEN SHE MARRIED GABRIEL BRYANT. THIS WOULD
   HAVE BEEN IN THE MID- 1820'S IN THE WARREN, WHITE AND VAN BUREN AREA. IT WAS
   NOTED IN THE BARNES PAPERS THAT THEY MOVED TO ALABAMA.
   
   THE 1850 CENSUS SHOWS A SARAH MCGEE LIVING WITH JAMES MCGEE AND HIS WIFE
   MARTHA ROSS AND THEIR SON SAMUEL. THIS SARAH WAS THE SAME AGE AS THE FOURTH
   CHILD OF JOHN AND ESTER. PROBABLY SALLY HAD RETURNED TO WARREN CO., TN.
   WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPEN TO GABRIEL OR IF THEY HAD ANY CHILDREN.
   
   IN THE 1860 CENSUS SARAH AND ADRIAN BRYANT WERE HUSBAND AND WIFE. IT IS
   BELIEVED THAT ADRIAN AND GABRIEL WERE BROTHERS. IN THE 1850 CENSUS ADRIAN
   WAS MARRIED TO ANNIE CUMMINS BRYANT. SHE DIED IN THE 1850'S. THEY HAD
   SIX- SEVEN CHILDREN AND LIVED NEAR JAMES MCGEE. ONE OF THE CHILDREN WAS
   CUMMINS LAFAYETTE BRYANT. SARAH AND ADRIAN WAS LIVING WITH CUMMINS IN
   THE 1880 CENSUS. TWO SONS OF ADRIAN WERE NAMED ADRIAN AND GABRIEL
   AND JAMES MCGEE HAD A SON NAMED GABRIEL. MAYBE AT SOME POINT IN TIME
   WE CAN IDENTIFY MORE INFORMATION ABOUT GABRIEL AND SALLY.
