Mary HUNT
(9 Apr 1759 - 9 Aug 1842)
Mary and Samuel had eleven children. Moved to Bryan Station settlement in KY with her husband.
NOTES FOR MARY HUNT:
William Bryan, with Mary, his wife, lived in Rowan County, North Carolina, until they had ten children,. Samuel, the oldest of the children, married Mary Hunt the fifth day of October 1775.
She was the daughter of Colonel Jonathan Hunt and Isabella, his wife, of Rowan County, North Carolina, who was of English extraction, but born in New Jersey. Samuel Bryan and Mary, his wife, lived in Carolina four years after marriage and had two children, when they moved to Kentucky in the year 1779, in which State they reside at the present. (Cooper 1927)
George Bryan, son of Morgan II: "[Summer 1779] Boone returned to North Carolina after his family. Remained there until fall, then took out his family. Got to Kentucky in December, I think. ---While he was a prisoner, his wife went in and then he went after her in 1779. Hays and his wife went in with Daniel Boone's wife, this time to her folks on the Yadkin. When Hays came out in the Spring of 1779, I was along, a single horse company, and carried Hay's oldest daughter all the way out. I was also along in the fall when Boone's wife came out. Mrs. William Grant and her daughter, Samuel Bryan, Daniel of Fayette brother and William Bryan's wife and daughters and all my uncles and brothers came out that fall and most all of the Boones that did move. Samuel Bryan had a little daughter and my brother Morgan carried his daughter. This in the spring, too.)T (Cooper)
[previously]
SAccordingly, started in March [1778] fixed for farming. Came on to Moccasin Gap, there we met men from Kentucky, who told us that Boone and 27 men had been taken prisoners at the Blue Lick while making salt and killed or carried off...
SThis caused us to give out Kentucky this season [1778], but after Boone returned and the long siege was fought, the Indians were not so troublesome. In March 1779, my father, myself and brother, Samuel Bryan, with wife and three children and sister, a single woman, William Grant and wife and one daughter with them, one other family and not less than 40 men met at Moccasin Gap and proceeded on to Boonesborough [1779 April 27]. Next day crossed over to Bryan's old camp, erected a small fort put in a crop of corn, then returned to Carolina to move the family to Bryan's Station. There, we left Samuel Bryan, William Grant, Stephen Jones, with their families, 15 men to help keep the fort." (Cooper)
"(7) My father and self went to Carolina fixed to move the family, that is my father's family. Started all in good health and spirits. I had none [family] at that time. (Daniel Boone Bryan)
(of the attack that killed William Bryan): " My father, William Bryan, was one of the wounded, and who died of his wounds on the 8th day after. That later, his mother, brother, Samuel Bryan's family, and four sisters, moved back to North Carolina to the same farm moved from." (Daniel Boone Bryanus statement, JR Cooperus Bryan Families 1927)

SWe have recently received the following relative to Thomas Bryan, which was taken from the "Woman's Review under 'The Ancestors of America,'" by Mrs. H. D. Pittman and copied in the Baltimore Sun some years ago. It was forwarded to us through the courtesy of Mrs. Juila A. Ardery of Paris, Kentucky.
"Thomas Bryan, youngest son of Morgan and Martha Strode Bryan, a surgeon in Washington's arm, married Sarah Hunt, daughter of Jonathan Hunt, and wife, Isabelle Hunt. Their children were:
Jesse, born 1759, died 1843 Jonathan, born 1766 Mary, married Mr. Forber Marta, born 1772, married Mr. Gano Morgan H., born 1774, died 1823 Thomas, born 1776 William, born 1776T (JR Cooper 1927) (Lots of Bryan controversy here: SThomas died too soon to have been in Washingtonus army...., no evidence he was a surgeon.T From Betty Carson, descendent of Thomas, Bryan researcher.) ====================================================================== ============= From Rebecca Lamb.

SThis book excerpts some material from the AMERICAN HUNT FAMILY GENEALOGY dated 15 Jun 1912 Vol 1 no.24 found at the Los Angeles Public Library.
SSarah is listed as the sister of Mary Hunt who married Samuel Bryan.T [**I question Sarah's death date of 1795 -- per Betty Carson, see John Gano's memoir].
SThere is a note about Sarah and Mary "The two daughters are not listed in Jonathan Hunt's will but that was probably due to the old custom of giving a daughter a dowry at the time of her marriage and then omitting her from the will."
SThere is another paragraph you may be interested in. It is discussing Johathan the father and one of his wives. tThe National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Book of Lineage 144, page 105(1935) accepts Isabelle Hampton, daughter of David Hampton as a wife of Jonathan Hunt. I have a phostate of David Hampton's will which is in the Record of Wills, Book A, page 62 Salisbury, Rowan County, N.C. This will was written Nov. 10 1758 and bequeaths one cow and calf to 'my well beloved daughter Izbbi Hunt'. This indicates she was living in Nov 1758 disproving the theory she died in 1755. However, she could not have lived much past 1758 as Jonathan Hunt married Margaret Lowrance January 3, 1761. t "
====================================================================== ========== In the application papers of Daniel Bryan for pension, there appears:
"Daniel Bryan deposes that in the spring of 1779, he with his father, his brother, Samuel Bryan, and others, came to Kentucky and erected a small fort at Bryan's Station, where his brother remained with his family... He returned to North Carolina with his father, William Bryan, to assist him to move his family to Kentucky, which he did in the fall following and settled at Bryan's Station were a number of others settled the same fall, 1779, and enlarged the station." (Cooper 1927)
From Shiela Bryan Fuesting: " pages taken from the Pension Applications of Samuel, Daniel and George were given to me. they do state that Samuel Bryan was awarded a pension which was paid him until his death March 4, 1837. "
(JR Cooper 1927): As to the origin of the family we will leave out the tradition and take the story as written by Samuel Bryan, eldest son of William Bryan and Mary Boone
It is accompanied by the following depositions (Note: Samuel Bryan died the fourth day of March, 1837, and on December 16, 1839, his widow, Mary Bryan, made application for pension) in which she deposes, "That she is 80 years old, that she was married to Samuel Bryan on October 5, 1775 by Colonel Joseph Williams, a magistrate in Rowan County, NC, that she has no family record of her marriage. That the best evidence she can procure may be received, she herewith presents a history of her said husband's ancestry, as given to her son, Luke Bryan, by her husband, Samuel Bryan, in his own handwriting, which states that the said Samuel Bryan and herself, then Mary Hunt, were married on the 5th day of October, 1775 and she well knows that the said history gives the true date of the marriage of herself and the said husband, Samuel Bryan. (Signed) Mary Bryan"
SOn the same day - eighteenth of December, 1839, Luke Bryan also deposes: "That I am the fifth child of my father and mother, Samuel and Mary Bryan, and I do well know that I had two brothers and two sisters older than myself, that the history of the ancestry of my father's family as well as his descendants was written by himself and given to me. That I am 55 years old the twenty-second of November last (???). (Signed, Luke Bryan)
SIn the deposition of Samuel Bryan in the case of his brother Daniel Bryan application for pension, dated August 21, 1833, he "Deposes that in the year 1776, the Cherokee Indians broke out in wars ... that his father, William Bryan, his brother, Daniel Bryan and himself, all were enrolled in the company of Captain John Johnston under command of General Griffith Rutherford.... .... That after this, deponent was persuaded by his mother and sisters to return to North Carolina and arrived there in the month of October." (1780)
SThe families left Rowan Co., on Sept 15, 1779, and arrived in Boonesborough in October of the same year. This was probably the largest company which had come to Kentucky at one time up to this date, and the station at Bryan's in the spring of 1780 contained more families than any other station north of the Kentucky river.
SSamuel Bryan located his tract on the north side of Elkhorn on David Jones' fork, four miles northeast of Bryan's Station. This would be near or on the Bourbon County line and north of the L&N Railway. On January 12, 1780, page 129, Samuel Bryan by William Bryan, claimed a settlement and preemption, lying on west course from Spottswood Dendriges' land about 2 miles from North Fork of Elkhorn, by raising corn in 1776.
SDuring the heavy snows and cold weather in the first part of 1780, there was little trouble from the Indians. When the snow disappeared and the weather grew warmer, the Indians began their incursions.
SSamuel Bryan's pension statement, omitting the first part of it, and beginning with 1779 says:
"In March, 1779, the said Bryan states that he removed from North Carolina to Kentucky, where he arrived in April, and in July, enrolled himself under Captain John Holder, and continued as a guard until July 1780."
SIn the latter part of the month, he "volunteered under Captain William Hogan to march against Shawnee Indians in a regiment commanded by Colonel Benjamin Logan, who marched his regiment from Boone's Station to the mouth of Licking, where he was joined by General George Rogers Clark, who had ascended the Ohio River from Louisville with about 300 regular troops of the Virginia line, and 400 Virginia militia under the command of Colonel Linn. General Clark crossed the Ohio River where Cincinnati now is and camped at that place. ...After defeating the Indians, burning their town and fort and destroying their growing corn, they returned to Kentucky. This service continued 16 days when he was dismissed at Boonesborough. That in September, he removed with his family to North Carolina, where he arrived in October, and in November following, enlisted in the State Minute Service, under Captain Johnson in Rowan County, for one year and continued in said service during all the year 1781. ...He was also marched under command of Captain James Stinson against a party of Tories, which had been raised by one of Colonel Fannon. Captain Stinson's company consisted of 350 mounted rifleman. This company marched from Salisbury, where they had been rendezvoud [sic] ...on to the waters of Deep River, where they received intelligence of Fannon being in that part of the country with the Tories under his command.
SWhom Captain Stinson immediately pursued, having been joined by Captain Kennada and some other forces. But Fennon, having dispersed his men and made his escape, this expedition ended, having lasted about one month and a half...
SThat he has no documentary evidence except a certificate for a horse furnished and his discharge by his Captain Stinson, which are hereunto annexed." (J.R. Cooper, 1927) ====================================================================== ============ Bryan Families by JR Cooper 1927: No. 37 -Family of Samuel Bryan, eldest son of William Bryan and Mary Bryan.
SIn his history of the Bryan family, he says of himself:
Samuel Bryan and Mary, his wife, lived in Carolina four years after marriage and had two children when they moved to Kentucky in the year 1779, in which state they reside at present. They had eleven children:
Fourth Generation

with whom they reside at present [Samuel] in Campbell County, Kentucky, January 1, 1830. Samuel and Mary Bryan
SAccompanying these papers was the depositions of Jamison Hawkins, which recites: "I formed a personal acquaintance with the late Samuel Bryan, the husband of Mary Bryan, who claimed a pension as his widow, in the fall of 1780, in Rowan County, North Carolina. Previous to that time, my father purchased a farm from the said Samuel Bryan's father in 1779. When he moved on the said farm, we understood that Samuel Bryan, his father, and his family, had moved to Kentucky. This I learned from his father-in-law, Jonathan Hunt and others. The fall of 1780, they returned to Carolina, where they stayed about 5 years. I knew Samuel Bryan in Kentucky in 1787, and have know him ever since until his death.
Given December 24, 1839James Hawkins
SThis document gives us the name of the man to whom William Bryan sold his farm in 1779 and from whom the widow of William recovered it in fall of 1780, viz, the father of Jamison Hawkins. The second son of William Bryan and Mary Bryan was No. 38, Daniel Boone Bryan. He did not use his middle name and was generally known as Daniel Bryan. Much of his history leading up to his marriage in 1786 has been given in former articles.T (Cooper 1927)
(Wisda p. 191) after the death of William Bryan ..."In December 1779 his fourth son, John, had died. In March 1780, William, Jr., third son, had been killed by the Indians and in April of the same year, Abner, the fifth son, had died. This so discouraged the Bryans who were left that they, Samuel and Daniel with their mother Mary Boone, returned to North Carolina and remained until after the close of the Revolutionary War. When she returned to Kentucky she lived with her son, Samuel, on his farm on the east side of the Licking River about five miles from Grant's Lick, ky, at Bryan(t)'s Ford. At her death in July 1819, she was buried on this farm and her remains were undisturbed until in 1930 when her descendants had them removed to the cemetery at Grant's Lick, Ky. S
(Daniel Bryan's Deposition) "In the fall of 1780, after the attack on Martin's and Russell's Stations, my mother returned from the trouble in Kentucky to the troubles in North Carolina. The man who had bought our place in North Carolina was from Virginia. He hadn't paid for the place and was anxious to give it up, that he might get rid of the difficulties with the British Tories, and to return to Virginia. We traded to him the pack horses that we had returned to Carolina on, for the truck and corn and then remained there in the old house 'til the fall of 1785.T
SOf my father's family, I was the only white male in the family, my brother, then living, had a family of his own to support [1780]." (Cooper 1927)
(Bryan Fam II)-1843 letters to Draper: George Bryan, s/o Morgan II (George = 1st Cousin), "Samuel Bryan, Daniel's brother, lived down at Grant's Lick."
*****(at 1830 Samuel & Mary resided with son Samuel in Grant's Lick.)
====================================================================== ============
From Sue Lewallen, Grant Researcher:
SAbout 1793 Samuel Bryan discovered a source of salt water, this one on the Licking River's east bank. Bryan, in conjunction with John Grant and Charles Morgan, then sank a well and started producing salt with which they supplied much of Kentucky's interior. The tiny village which grew up at the location became known as Grant's Salt Licks, but is know today as Grant's Lick.
In December 1806 John Grant mortgaged his interest in the tract of land known by the name Grant's Lick, which was under the care and agency of Samuel Bryan, to his son-in-law, John J. Flournoy.T
====================================================================== ===========
SLuke Bryan (114), the fifth child of Samuel, as stated in the family history by Samuel, married Mary Sanders[Saunders] in 1807. Their children were:
(450) Alphonso Hunt Bryan, born about 1808 (451) Sarah B. Bryan (452) Mary Boone Bryan (453) Tihelbert [sic] Walsingham Bryan [Ethelbert] (454) Dorcas Armildia Bryan (455) John Samuel Bryan (456) Jesse Bryan (457) Joseph McMurty Bryan (458) William Sanders Bryan (459) James Luke Bryan (460) James William Bryan
SAlphonso (450), eldest of these children married, in 1830, Ann White, daughter of Nathaniel and his wife, Margaret.

NOTES FOR MARY HUNT:
William Bryan, with Mary, his wife, lived in Rowan County, North Carolina, until they had ten children,. Samuel, the oldest of the children, married Mary Hunt the fifth day of October 1775.
She was the daughter of Colonel Jonathan Hunt and Isabella, his wife, of Rowan County, North Carolina, who was of English extraction, but born in New Jersey. Samuel Bryan and Mary, his wife, lived in Carolina four years after marriage and had two children, when they moved to Kentucky in the year 1779, in which State they reside at the present. (Cooper 1927)
George Bryan, son of Morgan II: "[Summer 1779] Boone returned to North Carolina after his family. Remained there until fall, then took out his family. Got to Kentucky in December, I think. ---While he was a prisoner, his wife went in and then he went after her in 1779. Hays and his wife went in with Daniel Boone's wife, this time to her folks on the Yadkin. When Hays came out in the Spring of 1779, I was along, a single horse company, and carried Hay's oldest daughter all the way out. I was also along in the fall when Boone's wife came out. Mrs. William Grant and her daughter, Samuel Bryan, Daniel of Fayette brother and William Bryan's wife and daughters and all my uncles and brothers came out that fall and most all of the Boones that did move. Samuel Bryan had a little daughter and my brother Morgan carried his daughter. This in the spring, too.)T (Cooper)
[previously]
SAccordingly, started in March [1778] fixed for farming. Came on to Moccasin Gap, there we met men from Kentucky, who told us that Boone and 27 men had been taken prisoners at the Blue Lick while making salt and killed or carried off...
SThis caused us to give out Kentucky this season [1778], but after Boone returned and the long siege was fought, the Indians were not so troublesome. In March 1779, my father, myself and brother, Samuel Bryan, with wife and three children and sister, a single woman, William Grant and wife and one daughter with them, one other family and not less than 40 men met at Moccasin Gap and proceeded on to Boonesborough [1779 April 27]. Next day crossed over to Bryan's old camp, erected a small fort put in a crop of corn, then returned to Carolina to move the family to Bryan's Station. There, we left Samuel Bryan, William Grant, Stephen Jones, with their families, 15 men to help keep the fort." (Cooper)
"(7) My father and self went to Carolina fixed to move the family, that is my father's family. Started all in good health and spirits. I had none [family] at that time. (Daniel Boone Bryan)
(of the attack that killed William Bryan): " My father, William Bryan, was one of the wounded, and who died of his wounds on the 8th day after. That later, his mother, brother, Samuel Bryan's family, and four sisters, moved back to North Carolina to the same farm moved from." (Daniel Boone Bryanus statement, JR Cooperus Bryan Families 1927)

SWe have recently received the following relative to Thomas Bryan, which was taken from the "Woman's Review under 'The Ancestors of America,'" by Mrs. H. D. Pittman and copied in the Baltimore Sun some years ago. It was forwarded to us through the courtesy of Mrs. Juila A. Ardery of Paris, Kentucky.
"Thomas Bryan, youngest son of Morgan and Martha Strode Bryan, a surgeon in Washington's arm, married Sarah Hunt, daughter of Jonathan Hunt, and wife, Isabelle Hunt. Their children were:
Jesse, born 1759, died 1843 Jonathan, born 1766 Mary, married Mr. Forber Marta, born 1772, married Mr. Gano Morgan H., born 1774, died 1823 Thomas, born 1776 William, born 1776T (JR Cooper 1927) (Lots of Bryan controversy here: SThomas died too soon to have been in Washingtonus army...., no evidence he was a surgeon.T From Betty Carson, descendent of Thomas, Bryan researcher.) ====================================================================== ============= From Rebecca Lamb.

Mary Hunt
SThis book excerpts some material from the AMERICAN HUNT FAMILY GENEALOGY dated 15 Jun 1912 Vol 1 no.24 found at the Los Angeles Public Library.
SSarah is listed as the sister of Mary Hunt who married Samuel Bryan.T [**I question Sarah's death date of 1795 -- per Betty Carson, see John Gano's memoir].
SThere is a note about Sarah and Mary "The two daughters are not listed in Jonathan Hunt's will but that was probably due to the old custom of giving a daughter a dowry at the time of her marriage and then omitting her from the will."
SThere is another paragraph you may be interested in. It is discussing Johathan the father and one of his wives. tThe National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, Book of Lineage 144, page 105(1935) accepts Isabelle Hampton, daughter of David Hampton as a wife of Jonathan Hunt. I have a phostate of David Hampton's will which is in the Record of Wills, Book A, page 62 Salisbury, Rowan County, N.C. This will was written Nov. 10 1758 and bequeaths one cow and calf to 'my well beloved daughter Izbbi Hunt'. This indicates she was living in Nov 1758 disproving the theory she died in 1755. However, she could not have lived much past 1758 as Jonathan Hunt married Margaret Lowrance January 3, 1761. t "
====================================================================== ========== In the application papers of Daniel Bryan for pension, there appears:
"Daniel Bryan deposes that in the spring of 1779, he with his father, his brother, Samuel Bryan, and others, came to Kentucky and erected a small fort at Bryan's Station, where his brother remained with his family... He returned to North Carolina with his father, William Bryan, to assist him to move his family to Kentucky, which he did in the fall following and settled at Bryan's Station were a number of others settled the same fall, 1779, and enlarged the station." (Cooper 1927)
From Shiela Bryan Fuesting: " pages taken from the Pension Applications of Samuel, Daniel and George were given to me. they do state that Samuel Bryan was awarded a pension which was paid him until his death March 4, 1837. "
(JR Cooper 1927): As to the origin of the family we will leave out the tradition and take the story as written by Samuel Bryan, eldest son of William Bryan and Mary Boone
It is accompanied by the following depositions (Note: Samuel Bryan died the fourth day of March, 1837, and on December 16, 1839, his widow, Mary Bryan, made application for pension) in which she deposes, "That she is 80 years old, that she was married to Samuel Bryan on October 5, 1775 by Colonel Joseph Williams, a magistrate in Rowan County, NC, that she has no family record of her marriage. That the best evidence she can procure may be received, she herewith presents a history of her said husband's ancestry, as given to her son, Luke Bryan, by her husband, Samuel Bryan, in his own handwriting, which states that the said Samuel Bryan and herself, then Mary Hunt, were married on the 5th day of October, 1775 and she well knows that the said history gives the true date of the marriage of herself and the said husband, Samuel Bryan. (Signed) Mary Bryan"
SOn the same day - eighteenth of December, 1839, Luke Bryan also deposes: "That I am the fifth child of my father and mother, Samuel and Mary Bryan, and I do well know that I had two brothers and two sisters older than myself, that the history of the ancestry of my father's family as well as his descendants was written by himself and given to me. That I am 55 years old the twenty-second of November last (???). (Signed, Luke Bryan)
SIn the deposition of Samuel Bryan in the case of his brother Daniel Bryan application for pension, dated August 21, 1833, he "Deposes that in the year 1776, the Cherokee Indians broke out in wars ... that his father, William Bryan, his brother, Daniel Bryan and himself, all were enrolled in the company of Captain John Johnston under command of General Griffith Rutherford.... .... That after this, deponent was persuaded by his mother and sisters to return to North Carolina and arrived there in the month of October." (1780)
SThe families left Rowan Co., on Sept 15, 1779, and arrived in Boonesborough in October of the same year. This was probably the largest company which had come to Kentucky at one time up to this date, and the station at Bryan's in the spring of 1780 contained more families than any other station north of the Kentucky river.
SSamuel Bryan located his tract on the north side of Elkhorn on David Jones' fork, four miles northeast of Bryan's Station. This would be near or on the Bourbon County line and north of the L&N Railway. On January 12, 1780, page 129, Samuel Bryan by William Bryan, claimed a settlement and preemption, lying on west course from Spottswood Dendriges' land about 2 miles from North Fork of Elkhorn, by raising corn in 1776.
SDuring the heavy snows and cold weather in the first part of 1780, there was little trouble from the Indians. When the snow disappeared and the weather grew warmer, the Indians began their incursions.
SSamuel Bryan's pension statement, omitting the first part of it, and beginning with 1779 says:
"In March, 1779, the said Bryan states that he removed from North Carolina to Kentucky, where he arrived in April, and in July, enrolled himself under Captain John Holder, and continued as a guard until July 1780."
SIn the latter part of the month, he "volunteered under Captain William Hogan to march against Shawnee Indians in a regiment commanded by Colonel Benjamin Logan, who marched his regiment from Boone's Station to the mouth of Licking, where he was joined by General George Rogers Clark, who had ascended the Ohio River from Louisville with about 300 regular troops of the Virginia line, and 400 Virginia militia under the command of Colonel Linn. General Clark crossed the Ohio River where Cincinnati now is and camped at that place. ...After defeating the Indians, burning their town and fort and destroying their growing corn, they returned to Kentucky. This service continued 16 days when he was dismissed at Boonesborough. That in September, he removed with his family to North Carolina, where he arrived in October, and in November following, enlisted in the State Minute Service, under Captain Johnson in Rowan County, for one year and continued in said service during all the year 1781. ...He was also marched under command of Captain James Stinson against a party of Tories, which had been raised by one of Colonel Fannon. Captain Stinson's company consisted of 350 mounted rifleman. This company marched from Salisbury, where they had been rendezvoud [sic] ...on to the waters of Deep River, where they received intelligence of Fannon being in that part of the country with the Tories under his command.
SWhom Captain Stinson immediately pursued, having been joined by Captain Kennada and some other forces. But Fennon, having dispersed his men and made his escape, this expedition ended, having lasted about one month and a half...
SThat he has no documentary evidence except a certificate for a horse furnished and his discharge by his Captain Stinson, which are hereunto annexed." (J.R. Cooper, 1927) ====================================================================== ============ Bryan Families by JR Cooper 1927: No. 37 -Family of Samuel Bryan, eldest son of William Bryan and Mary Bryan.
SIn his history of the Bryan family, he says of himself:
Samuel Bryan and Mary, his wife, lived in Carolina four years after marriage and had two children when they moved to Kentucky in the year 1779, in which state they reside at present. They had eleven children:

with whom they reside at present [Samuel] in Campbell County, Kentucky, January 1, 1830. Samuel and Mary Bryan
SAccompanying these papers was the depositions of Jamison Hawkins, which recites: "I formed a personal acquaintance with the late Samuel Bryan, the husband of Mary Bryan, who claimed a pension as his widow, in the fall of 1780, in Rowan County, North Carolina. Previous to that time, my father purchased a farm from the said Samuel Bryan's father in 1779. When he moved on the said farm, we understood that Samuel Bryan, his father, and his family, had moved to Kentucky. This I learned from his father-in-law, Jonathan Hunt and others. The fall of 1780, they returned to Carolina, where they stayed about 5 years. I knew Samuel Bryan in Kentucky in 1787, and have know him ever since until his death.
Given December 24, 1839James Hawkins
SThis document gives us the name of the man to whom William Bryan sold his farm in 1779 and from whom the widow of William recovered it in fall of 1780, viz, the father of Jamison Hawkins. The second son of William Bryan and Mary Bryan was No. 38, Daniel Boone Bryan. He did not use his middle name and was generally known as Daniel Bryan. Much of his history leading up to his marriage in 1786 has been given in former articles.T (Cooper 1927)
(Wisda p. 191) after the death of William Bryan ..."In December 1779 his fourth son, John, had died. In March 1780, William, Jr., third son, had been killed by the Indians and in April of the same year, Abner, the fifth son, had died. This so discouraged the Bryans who were left that they, Samuel and Daniel with their mother Mary Boone, returned to North Carolina and remained until after the close of the Revolutionary War. When she returned to Kentucky she lived with her son, Samuel, on his farm on the east side of the Licking River about five miles from Grant's Lick, ky, at Bryan(t)'s Ford. At her death in July 1819, she was buried on this farm and her remains were undisturbed until in 1930 when her descendants had them removed to the cemetery at Grant's Lick, Ky. S
(Daniel Bryan's Deposition) "In the fall of 1780, after the attack on Martin's and Russell's Stations, my mother returned from the trouble in Kentucky to the troubles in North Carolina. The man who had bought our place in North Carolina was from Virginia. He hadn't paid for the place and was anxious to give it up, that he might get rid of the difficulties with the British Tories, and to return to Virginia. We traded to him the pack horses that we had returned to Carolina on, for the truck and corn and then remained there in the old house 'til the fall of 1785.T
SOf my father's family, I was the only white male in the family, my brother, then living, had a family of his own to support [1780]." (Cooper 1927)
(Bryan Fam II)-1843 letters to Draper: George Bryan, s/o Morgan II (George = 1st Cousin), "Samuel Bryan, Daniel's brother, lived down at Grant's Lick."
*****(at 1830 Samuel & Mary resided with son Samuel in Grant's Lick.)
====================================================================== ============
From Sue Lewallen, Grant Researcher:
SAbout 1793 Samuel Bryan discovered a source of salt water, this one on the Licking River's east bank. Bryan, in conjunction with John Grant and Charles Morgan, then sank a well and started producing salt with which they supplied much of Kentucky's interior. The tiny village which grew up at the location became known as Grant's Salt Licks, but is know today as Grant's Lick.
In December 1806 John Grant mortgaged his interest in the tract of land known by the name Grant's Lick, which was under the care and agency of Samuel Bryan, to his son-in-law, John J. Flournoy.T
====================================================================== ===========
SLuke Bryan (114), the fifth child of Samuel, as stated in the family history by Samuel, married Mary Sanders[Saunders] in 1807. Their children were:
