ReplyDelete(Born 1794 in Oakland, Maine, USA. Died 28 Jan 1873 in Canaan, Maine, USA)
Many thanks for taking the time to comment! Yes, it was probably meant to be Bryant - but maybe the owner and/or the enumerator wasn't aware of how most people spelled it - and I chose to use it the way it appeared on the original form, with a caveat at the beginning of the list. And, also, many thanks for the additional information - glad he got to live a long life, hopefully a happy and productive one.
