Notes

"The (M) stands for Mary. I have my great grandmother's supplemental application. Her name was Fannie Bryant Bruce. Her father was Hardy Bryant. Hardy's mom was Fannie Green, daughter of Daniel Green & Mary Green. There was the name Mashack in the old Green Bible, said William Bryant, brother of Hardy Bryant. They were rejected on their Cherokee blood, but I know they were Cherokee. Fannie Green was born in 1808, had a brother Isaac 1801, John 1804, Thomas 1806, Fannie 1808, Daniel 1810, Elizabeth 1812, Andrew Jackson 1815, Toliver 1817, Enoch 1820, Isona 1823."
-- Gary Cruce, message on profile for Mary Green, wife of Daniel John Green, on OurFamily genealogy, 10 July 2015, http://www.ourfamtree.org/browse.php?pid=60396

Her real name was most likely Frances. This name also appears in later generations. It also seems likely that the William Bryant mentioned in her father's will, taken by some early reserachers as a name of one of Daniel Green's sons, was Fannie's husband, William Bryant, and not a William Bryant Green.

A couple of genealogies report her full name as Frances Ann Green. In the 1850 census she was enumerated as simply A Bryant. In 1860 as Fanny.
