Are any Bryan’s here on the y dna Bryan Surname project with FTDNA?
No, I don't believe any male Bryans in my wife's family have done a DNA test, unfortunately.

This family ring may have belonged to Barbara Elizabeth Cotter Kohn, one of her brothers, or her father, James Laurence Cotter. It is supposedly a Cotter family ring, but the design on the front is difficult to discern, and the initials inside the ring (apparently GWW) are obviously not those of a Cotter.

Obituary of James Laurence Cotter. James was born in Ireland around 1818 and emigrated to Canada with his father, Dr. Rogers Cotter, in 1835. They first settled in the Toronto area, but James soon moved to western Ontario, where he lived near Parkhill. In or around 1847, he emigrated again, this time to Clark County, Ohio. He later moved to Illinois, but was buried in Springfield, Ohio.

Home of Thomas Bryan in Walker County, Georgia. A note on the back of the picture, by Clarence Ray Bryan, Jr., reads: "View looking north or north by west in afternoon. Home of Thomas Bryan, Jr., my great grandfather, and the boyhood home of Augustus Grogan Bryan, my grandfather. The house was constructed of hewn logs but was covered with boards when I first saw it. Now (1981) it's asbestos shingled. The two chimneys are original. The house sits 5 miles east and a little south of LaFayette, Georgia, on the Alabama Rd. (The distance by Catlett and the present road is 7 miles.) The original land, probably 160 acres, was probably 'bounty' land for service in War of 1812 and/or Creek wars."
