I was at The Alamo(15/03/22) being over from UK, I had this feeling to check names for a Ryan, and to my amazement found Isaac Ryan, been reading about him today.
Leo Richard says
My research indicates Isaac’s family came from England and settled in Georgia. Descendents eventually settled in Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas. I’m descended from the Mississippi Ryans (lst cousin, 6X removed to Isaac). One of the present day Ryan descendants is the Hall of Fame pitcher Nolan Ryan.
Mark Roberts says
Issac Ryan was a brother to Christeen Ryan .They were a couple of the children of John Jacob Ryan and Mary Anne Hartgrave .Christeen would be My Grandmothers Grandmother . I think that would make Isaac Ryan a great uncle to my grandmother.
