Stephen Bryant is my Great-Great-Great-Great-Grandfather (I think that's the right amount of Greats!), he was born around 1799 (Littledean) plied his trade as a Cordwainer (Shoemaker) and married twice (Sarah Hill around 1818) and Sarah Ruck later. I can trace the Bryant side of my family back to Stephen (his father was almost certainly Samuel Bryant), but then it all gets a bit vague. Any pointers going further back in time for both ancestors of the Bryants and/or Hills would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,
Ian
