Generation #9: Bryce Christopher
Coyan, born June 14, 2001 - son of Christopher Joseph Coyan, grandson
of Joe and Karen Cribben Coyan of Jackson, OH. Joe and I are second cousins,
since both of our Coyan grandfathers were brothers. After researching and
evaluating the info presently in my Coyan database, Bryce Christopher is
not only the first "ninth generation" Coyan male born with Jackson
county "roots", but I'm 99% sure that he is also the FIRST "TENTH
GENERATION" Coyan male born
in the United States since our immigrant ancestor,
Edward John Coyan, came to America ca.
1765-1775.
