John Bryant and Virginia Victoria (RUSS) KING family North Carolina 1850 +

When I wasn't getting where I wanted to go with my direct line, I took the path of least resistance and worked on the family of my great-great aunt Virginia Victoria RUSS KING. I do not claim that this is complete, it's just what I found with the records at familysearch.org Also, I have not posted everything I have, as some people might still be alive.

I won't bother typing up sources, but most everything came from North Carolina Birth, Marriage, and Death record indexes. Also, to save typing, once I've mentioned the full name of a place, I will only use the town name after that point.
