Notes for Thomas B. RYAN
Re: Ryan Family History April 16, 2015 at 9:33 PM (source 502)

Well, I can say that I never thought my Ryan Family would become such a mass accumulation. But I'm getting
closer to proving my link to Harris Ryan for membership to the DAR. The "M" stands for Mary. Here is what I have on my Ryan line:

Mother: Gladys Irene Ryan  1902-2002

Grandfather: Rome Ryan b: March 26, 1862  D: April 21, 1942
sp: Mary Catherine (Morrow) Ryan
1870 census head of household Thomas Ryan
Sarah is not in the home
Rome Ryan is 8 years (my grandfather)

Gr. Grandfather: Thomas B. Ryan b: 1825 Rhea, Tenn. D: ?
sp: Sarah E. Lane b: 1828 d: after 1867 and before 1870
1870 census youngest dau: Mary is 3 years
1880 census Mary is 13yrs and living with sister
Lina and William Little Vernon Missouri---so Thomas may have died by this time, although did find Thomas Ryan married a Martha Foster Vernon Missouri but haven't proved if this is my Thomas.

Proved my link to Thomas B. and Sarah Lane through my grandfather’s brother Thoms J. Ryan and Sarah Elizabeth Moon. Their daughter Bina Elizabeth (Ryan) Parmele was my mothers favorite cousin and she went to visit her several times in Wichita, Ks. Thomas J. died 1891 and Sarah married Anuel Stroud and she died 1904

Proving Thoms B Ryan-----1830 cenus Tenn. Abner Ryan
Free White Males 5 thru 9=2 Thomas B is 5yrs

1840 census Abner Ryan
Free White Males 15 thru 19=1 Thomas B. is 15yrs.

Gr. Gr. Grandfather:    Abner Ryan b: 1793 Tenn d: May 7, 1865 Kingsville Missouri
sp: Rebecca (Brown) Ryan b: 1806 Tenn d: before 1856
sp: Amy (Paul) Ryan (previous marriage James Paul)
the Paul's lived close to Abner in KIngsville and found the Paul Family on Tax List in Rhea Tenn along with Abner

Know that Thomas B. is son of Abner and Rebecca as the 1850 census Polk, Missouri Thomas "P" Ryan and Sarah Ryan --Abner Ryan & Rebecca Ryan dwelling #162 and James G. Ryan and Fanny Ryan she was a Herleson are also in Polk. Thomas B. bought land in Johnson County Missouri #54 on land purchase and Abner Ryan is #2 there is also a Morgan Ryan who is probably related

Also Helen Mills had proved Thomas B., James G. and Jeremiah were sons of Abner and Rebecca as her gr gr grandfather was the other son William. Haven't been able to contact her family after her death.

Ok, hope that you find that most of this Ryan line links to family. Should you have other information on any of this family I would appreciate your sharing.
Thanks, Mary206
