EA Bryan - court document

Bienville Parish, Louisiana
 
Power of Attorney - Elizabeth Ann Bryan

This document was found in the Calhoun County, Georgia Deed Book 1, page 624, in my search for Baker Bryan.  This document was recorded in the Calhoun County Deed Book on October 19, 1858. According to this document, Elizabeth A. Bryan was due inheritance from the estate of Simeon B. Bryan. It is assumed that Simeon B. is Baker Bryan.  Elizabeth A. Bryan is said to be Simeon B. Bryan's wife on another document found on the Calhoun County microfilm. The following document was witnessed by James Bryan, brother to Baker and by T. Capus Bryan (Tilman), half brother to Baker in their home of Bienville Parish.
