Notes for FLAVIUS SELATHE LANDERS:
From Carroll Hayden:

In 1924 the United Daughters of the Confederacy developed a Soldiers Questionnaire to gather information about the "old families". Flavius S. Landers said this about his ancestors (question 44) "Both of my grandfathers came from Europe, was in some of the German State Rebellion, refugeed to this country and lived and died on the coast of North Carolina. I have a cousin of mine from Oxford (NC) who had visited the home of his ancestors. He was an officer and ??? his ??? sword and other regalia. My great great grandmother was Irish. Her name was O'Bryant". On question #43 he said his mother was Sarah Landers.

This is proof of the origin of the two George's. His grandmother was Nancy O'Briant and great grandmother was Rebecca O'Briant and Dennis O'Briant ggf. The were in Granville County in 1788 and lived there until they moved to Parsons County, North Carolina where Rebecca died in 1837 and in her will she named all her children.
