Dorothy was born in 1801. She is the daughter of Adam See and Dorothy Stump. She passed away in 1881. [1]
Dorothy Jane (?) “Dolly” See, daughter of Adam and Dorothy, was born in 1801 or 1802. William Curtis Bryan was born in 1799. They were married on 13 November 1827 by Rev. Ferdinand Lair and by 1830 had two daughters, Phoebe and Mary Elizabeth. They lived in Rockingham County, Virginia. Two more daughters were born to them by 1835, Edith and Hannah, before they moved to Ohio. Their first son, Curtis, was born in Fairfield County, Ohio, in 1837 or 1838. Doris was born in 1840 and Harvey in 1845.
Curtis was a famer. He owned a small amount of land in Richland Township in Fairfield County, valued at $700, but after moving to Hocking County, before 1850, he was without land and moved frequently. The Bryans lived in Green Township in 1850 and Ward Township in 1860 and 1870, in Benton Township from 1872. [2]
As the Hardy County Court prepared to divide the land of Dorothy’s father in Hardy County, Curtis and Dorothy sold their interest in one-sixth of Adam’s 963 acres to Nathaniel D. Parran of Hardy County for $1000. Parran paid $300 in cash with the remainder to be paid in specified installments. [3]
Seven months later, on 22 January 1872, Curtis died at age 73. [4]
There is no death record for Dorothy in Hocking County. Michael H. See, in May 1881, told the Hardy County Court that she was living. The last record for Dorothy was on 23 June 1880 when she was an inmate of the Hocking County Infirmary. She was described as a pauper, unable to read or write, “idiotic,” and “maimed, crippled, bedridden or otherwise disabled.” [5]
