The Heritage of Daniel Haston

 

Edward Ryan Family
of Guilford County, NC


The following information is from http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/4011/edwardryan.html

It is copied here because of its potential value to Daniel Haston family researchers.  In order to understand its value to Haston researchers, the reader must be aware of the connection between Daniel Haston's family and the James Ryan family, as explained on another page of this website.

We want to make it clear that credit for this information is given to Ellen L. English's Genealogy Homepage: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Valley/4011/index.htm  Attempts were made to contact Ellen English and Jesse Ryan (the descendent contact for Edward Ryan) but the email addresses given on that site were not up to date.

We do not claim to vouch for the accuracy of all of this information.  For example, the marriage information related to James Ryan and Eleanor McComiskey (see highlight below) is not accurate.

Edward Ryan (abt 1710-aft 1800) - NC

Possible that this Edward Ryan is connected to the Virginia Ryans, since Edward's son James purchased land in Wayne Co., KY around the same time as William Ryan's sons.
