Bryan was a member during the stormy scenes when the Kansas Nebraska bill was before the house & of her father, a small man, being thrown on the railing & from this vantage point, saw Robert Toombs of Georgia rise up with a man on each shoulder, both of which he sent sprawling with a terrific blow of his fist. When Guy M. spoke to Toombs about it, he said in a whisper "Hush".

She said her great grandfather Guy M. Bryan of Bucks Co, Pa had a store in Phila, Pa with a branch in Pittsburgh which was being tended by her grandfather James Bryan who met there Emily Margaret Austin, See page 106, who he married.

Austin was an early Texas military figure & the Assembly voted to name the capital of the State or Republic Austin in his honor, which was later located on a beautiful site he had admired. Their

At residence of Mrs Ann Malinda Killgore No 1931 67^th Ave Oak Lane, Phila Co, Phila, Pa July 13, 1926 9:55 AM

Mrs Killgore says her husband, Rev James L. Killgore was the son of Joseph Killgore who died some 45 or 50 yrs ago at Newport, Del aged 80 to 82 yrs. She says he springs from one of three or four brothers, John, James & Robert who came to America from Scotland. She does not know name of Joseph's father, but says some of his descendants live at Newport & Wilmington, Del. She knows nothing of any Jack connection & never heard of the 18 sons, so she may not come in the line I want, but she sent her little granddaughter upstairs & she brought down the big bible of Rev James L. which was printed by the National Pub Co. No date. & I am making a copy below of the family record it contains. She said she had twelve children.
