_Pedigree of Sir Francis Bryan._--This accomplished statesman, and ornament
of Henry VIII.'s reign, married Joan of Desmond, Countess Dowager of
Ormonde, and died childless in Ireland A.D. 1550. Query, Did any cadet of
his family accompany him to that country? I found a Louis Bryan settled in
the county of Kilkenny in Elizabeth's reign, and suspect that he came in
through the connexion of Sir F. Bryan with the Ormonde family. Any
information as to the arms and pedigree of Sir F. Bryan will greatly oblige
