Hello, my Ryans are from Kosciusko MS/Attala County. My grand-mother Annie Dodd Steed Ryan Kilgore remarried a Kilgore after her husband Aubrey died and the Kilgore family lived in Pittsboro MS outside Duck Hill Mississippi....There are two recent posts of today, 24 March, 2007 about a George Ryan who came from Ireland (don't know where?); was supposedly in the Union Army duriing the Civil War with either a division from Ohio or Illinois; some say he LIVED in Ohio or Illinois; some say he came South DURING the Civil War or at the start of Reconstruction. He married a Virginia England and they had children, the only name I can remember is my grand father's, Aubrey David Ryan, who married Annie Dodd Steed and they had four children---William/Bill Ryan (whose family still lives SOMEWHERE in Jackson MS); my father Grady Leon Ryan (a flaming Fenian--interesting with an ancestor named George); Sally Ryan McMillan; and Francis Maxine Ryan Schultz of New Orleans. They are all dead. My father married Ona Lee Sawyer. The family land remains in the family outside of Kosciusko MS.
Blessings
