I have just had the most astounding revelation…a major AHA! moment, right here in my bed in the wee hours of the morning! I’ve suddenly, unexpectedly discovered something that has solved one of the most intriguing mysteries of all my years of ancestry research.
My insomniac self was just now scrolling through some previous posts on my “Teresa’s Family Tree” page on Facebook. I came across this MAP showing the Bryant family farm on Blackwater Road in Virginia Beach. In that particular post I had casually noted my curiosity about the number “11” at the corner of the Bryant property on Blackwater Road. I had even circled it in RED! Oh, Lordy. ELEVEN?!!! REALLY?!! Silly, silly me. Ridiculous, stupid, blind, silly me. What if that is NOT the number “11,” but is actually the markings for the long-sought, elusive GRAVE SITES for my great-great grandparents, the Bryant’s?!!
Eureka! Bingo! Ding, ding, ding! I’ve been searching for so long and THERE IT WAS RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE. I’ve had this map for years. YEARS! This is BIG news! HUGE! What an exciting discovery! How could I have missed that? Eley and Margaret have finally been FOUND!
So… what now? Do I notify someone?
Now I really can’t sleep.
