It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.

Descendants of Capt. John Bryan Sr.


First Generation

1. Capt. John Bryan Sr b 1546 in Milltown Malbay, Clare, Munster, Ireland d before 1610 in Rotterdam, Zuid-Holland, Netherlands. • Information: 1546, Milltown Malbay, Clare, Munster, Ireland. We could not prove the parents of this John Bryan. John Bryan was a fisherman and removed to Rotterdam with his family. It is apparent from the scant records in Ireland that John's youngest son most likely inherited the property in Milltown Malbay, as there are no other records of the family living there except the first four children born to William and his first wife, Catherine Morgan. 
John married Marian Ashelford on 2 Jul 1573 in Uffculme, , Devonshire, England. Marian was born in 1551 in Uffculme, , Devonshire, England and died before 1610 in Rotterdam, , Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.
Noted events in her life were:
• Information: 1551, Uffculme, , Devonshire, England. We could not prove the parents of Marian, she was a spinster of legal age when she married John Bryan.
Br12-1. John Bryan Jr. was born in 1575 in Buckland Monachorum, , Devonshire, England, was christened on 18 Nov 1575 in Buckland Monachorum, , Devonshire, England, and died in 1638 in Matapany, Maryland at age 63. John was killed by a falling tree on the Mattapany River.
• Information: 1575, Buckland Monachorum, , Devonshire, England. John was a sailor, not a Ship Captain, Mate, or Navigator. He hired out to the Barker Family of London. He landed 1622 in Virginia aboard the Bonaventure, but departed with it. He was a sailor aboard the Ark or Dove and landed with Calvert in Maryland 1634, and died there 1638. Proof: 1622, Virginia.

Francis was certified as Ship Captain and Master in Rotterdam by Capt. Nicholas Washington II June 14, 1609. He hired out to the Washington family and served the East India Trade. He did not marry in Rotterdam or England thereto, he may have married in India. He was master of one of the ships that landed at Masulipatam India in 1611.
Br12 6 M v. Capt. William Bryan was born in 1588 in Buckland Monachorum, Devon bap 29 Jun 1588 in Buckland Monachorum, , Devonshire, England, d after 1656 in Gloucester County, Virginia.
m Catherine Morgan (d. Bef 26 Nov 1634) on 17 Sep 1618 in Old Flemish Parish Lion Street, Rotterdam, , Zuid-Holland, Netherlands.

William next married Catherine Thatcher (d. After 1672) on 26 Nov 1634 in Northolt, , Middlesex, England. • Information: 1588, Buckland Monachorum, , Devon certified as Master and Ship Captain by Capt. William Barker in London in May 1614.

We have accessed a considerable number of resources attempting to prove this man and his family. We assumed the extant data circulated about this Bryan family to be correct, and followed it accordingly. Then we began finding bits and pieces of information that suggested the accepted historical pedigree was suspect. We then turned our attention to locate sound proofs of the family the Bryan family of Cheddington in Buckinghamshire. We followed Sir Francis Bryan throughout his lifetime and there is tons of extant data in England and Ireland whereas there is no doubt about him, or his second wife. Serious doubt exists however about Sir Francis Bryan leaving descendants by his second wife, Lady Joan Fitzgerald. We turned to the latest published book that proves Armorial Bearings of the United Kingdom's antique heraldry, and the trusted Burkes publication proved that Sir William Smith that went to Ireland in service to his country did in fact exist, and he married Bridget Fleetwood.
Sir William Smith was born circa 1550, and he was the son of George Smith and his wife, Isabella. He married Bridget Fleetwood, daughter of Thomas Fleetwood in 1590. Sir William died in 1626; however, he was a peer of Sir Francis Bryan Jr., born 1550; therefore, ruling out any possibility that he could have married his peer's daughter. Then the proof that cannot be denied - Sir William Smith and Bridget, had four children, Sir William Smith Jr., Elizabeth Smith, Bridget Smith, and Sir Thomas Smith, 1st Bt. They did not have a daughter Anne…. Moreover, he did not have a sister named Ann. Next we went searching to prove the lady Sir Francis Bryan Jr. married, only to learn that there was no Sir Francis Bryan II according to the estate record of Lady Joan Fitzgerald.
We next started searching for an early source of the extant assumed pedigree of this family, and located the following source published by Mr. James William Shearer of Somerville, New Jersey in his book in 1915. The following quote from page, 11:

"William Smith (?) Bryan, m. -----, A landholder in Ireland, probably Claire co. when Cromwell Invaded Ireland in 1650; transported as a "rebellious subject" to the American colonies, with his family of eleven sons and a ship's load of goods and chattels. He settled in Gloucester co., Va.
1) Francis (?), m. -----. The oldest of the 11 sons. 9 unk.
2) Morgan 1st, who was in Norfolk in 1663, was probably one of his sons."
That quote is the earliest published reference to William Smith Bryan we located. Until that find, we could not locate any record in England, Scotland, or Ireland that identified anyone named … William Smith Bryan. Anyone researching this family should have seen red flags because of the specific reference that the second child was named, Morgan, but he was much too young to be Morgan Bryan who married Martha Strode. We also read the book, The Spear and the Spindle: "Ancestors of Sir Francis Bryan," by Terry A. Fuller. We were disillusioned as there were assertions, but no proofs or dates.
At this juncture in our research we had then proven William Bryan's 2nd wife, but not his first wife, whom was unknown until we discovered a christening record of a mariner family living in Ireland. The dates fit, but the record ended with four children, and it identified them, as the children of a William Bryan, mariner. The record did not prove his wife.
Hard records are sufficient in number in Virginia to validate children born to William and his wives. We do not include prior published data about this family by several different researchers, for their published pedigree presentations was not based on facts; instead, the published data was based on Family Legend and Lore, but no extant evidence for the first generation.
.
The exact date when William and his family made Virginia their home was not recorded, but upon arrival he had ten sons and two daughters, for one daughter had already married and left home. Nine of his children were christened in Copenhagen, per the record as now published for descendant use.
William and his family landed west of Mobjack Bay near Gloucester Point, which is near the conflux of the York River and Chesapeake Bay. The land area was then in York County in 1650 the logical year of their arrival. It would become Gloucester County when it formed from York in 1651. His heir apparent and eldest son, Morgan Bryan I, had been living in Virginia since 1642, and was familiar with the Virginia Colonial system, which would be a significant benefit in settling this family in their new home.
In this record we show eleven sons and three daughters born to William and wives and we believe there was another son, but we do not have any credible evidence; therefore, we omitted him from this record. We prove their respective spouses, years of birth and death, place of birth and death, and any Key children that we believe conflated and or situated in the wrong descendant line. We had one significant error in the two books published, Boone Volume I and Boone Volume II. Those errors corrected herein this record. We attributed the wrong Edward Bryan to this Captain William Bryan.
• Proof: 12 Dec 1626, London, , Greater London, England. To further substantiate and document the historical Pedigree and Family Record of this family the following proofs used to confront and challenge the existing Family Record and Purported Pedigree of this William Bryan, by Bryan Family researchers since 1915 and publication of the book who married twice, and had fourteen children by his two wives.

Sir William Smith was born circa 1550. He was the son of George Smith and Isabella (?). He married Bridget Fleetwood, daughter of Thomas Fleetwood, in 1590. He died in December 12, 1626. Sir William Smith gained the rank of Colonel in the service of the Army in Ireland. He held the office of Sheriff of Essex from 1615 to 1616. He lived at Hill Hall, Theydon Mount, Essex England. Sir William Smith died with a will in place written the day he died December 12, 1626, and he identified his four children born to him and his wife Bridget Fleetwood in his will … as follows….

1. Sir William Smith II, died March 5, 1631 He married, firstly, Helen Conway, daughter of Edward Conway, 1st Viscount Conway of Conway Castle, on 9 April 1627.1 He married, secondly, Anne Croft, daughter of Edward Croft, in 1631.1 He died on 5 March 1631. Sir William Smith lived at Ankerwycke Priory, Wraysbury, Buckinghamshire England.

2. Elizabeth Smith - She married Sir William Spring on 1 November 1610.

3. Bridget Smith - She married Sir Robert Jocelyn, son of Richard Jocelyn and Joyce Atkinson. She died circa January 1662/63. She was buried on 24 January 1662/63.

4. Sir Thomas Smith, 1st Bart. - He was the son of Sir William Smith and Bridget Fleetwood. He married, firstly, Joan Altham, daughter of Sir Edward Altham and Joan Leventhorpe, before 1633. He married, secondly, Hon. Beatrice Annesley, daughter of Francis Annesley, 1st Viscount Valentia and Dorothy Philipps, after 1664. He died on 5 May 1668. He was buried on 14 May 1668 at Theydon Mount, Essex, England. His will (dated 30 April 1668) was probated on 11 June 1668. Sir Thomas Smith, 1st Bt. was admitted to Gray's Inn on 5 February 1619/20. He inherited the estate of Hill Hall from his nephew, Edward Smith. He was Lord of the manor of Thaxted, and owned Horham Hall in Thaxted. He was created 1st Baronet Smith, of Hill Hall, co. Essex England on 28 November 1661. He held the office of High Sheriff of Essex from 1663 to 1664. He had ten other children by his first wife.

Sir Francis Bryan died February 2, 1550 at Clonmel Ireland, and married Lady Joan Fitzgerald before 28 Aug 1548, and had two children by her, but neither survived their father.

She was a spinster age 21, but her parents both gave consent to her marriage. Members of her Thatcher family were early to the Plymouth Colony and New England, and she had relatives living on St. Nevis & St. Kitts, and Bermuda. Catherine's nephew Richard Lusher landed in Virginia 1681, and his descendants eventually settled in what would become West Virginia. Check the Great Migration to learn about her cousin Lt. Elezar Lusher of Dedham Massachusetts.

• Information: 1666, Long Bennington, , Lincolnshire, England. Eleanor was the daughter of Thomas Wright and his wife, Mary Whitlock, both of Long Bennington. We could not prove her parents marriage; however, they were an immigrant family. Her father made multiple trips to Virginia before bringing his family to America in 1669. Thomas also held property in Maryland where he was living when his wife Mary and their only daughter, Eleanor, immigrated Her father died intestate Rappahannock County Virginia before 1680, and we could not prove the man her mother remarried. Eleanor had a much younger brother James born about the time her father died who married an Eleanor - all of their children were born and christened in Farnham Parish of Richmond County. So far as we could prove Eleanor's parents did not have a daughter named Mary.

• Information: 1649, Copenhagen, , Københavns Amt, Denmark. Edward was certified Ship Captain and Master by Capt. George Barker of Charles City Virginia at Charles City May 28, 1675. Edward hired out to Barker and Associates and removed to the port at Great Yarmouth England.
Edward married Elizabeth Lingwood on 29 Oct 1676 in Acle, , Norfolk, England. Elizabeth was born in 1659 in Glasgow, , Lanark, Scotland, was christened on 28 Aug 1659 in High Church, Glasgow, , Lanark, Scotland, and died before 1720 in Great Yarmouth, , Norfolk, England.

• Information: 1659, Glasgow, , Lanark, Scotland. Elizabeth was the daughter of mariner Richard Lingwood and his wife, Elspeth Finnison of Glasgow. Her father owned several ships, and was active in the trade at the port of Yarmouth England. Her family moved to Acle in Norfolk after the Restoration of Charles II.
20. Ensign Francis Bryan (William (Capt.)2, John Sr. (Capt.)1) was born in 1651 in Gloucester County, Virginia and died after 1715 in Nansemond County, Virginia.
 

• Information: 1651, Gloucester County, Virginia. Many researchers show Francis as a knight, which he was not. The key for researchers to properly validate this man was via his wife, Susan Brinker, a lady purportedly born in Denmark. There is no evidence that supports the bold errant conclusions made by prior researchers that Francis presence in Denmark can be validated except whenever his ship landed there, if it ever did. We could not prove any estate records for a Francis Bryan in Ireland, England, or America. Francis was a sailor, but he was not certified as a Mate, Master or Ship Captain. Francis was the only child born to William and Catherine in Virginia 1651.

When Francis came of age 18 in 1669 he enlisted in the Royal Navy. With him being the lastborn son of eleven, his chance of an inheritance of significant value was certainly not good. The last voyage he made was aboard the … Dover Prize … a 32 gun fifth-rate and captured French man-o-war, taken as a prize in 1693, and then identified by the French as the … Legere (in English means … Light). She was refitted and renamed the … HMS Dover Prize. She was retired after she landed in Virginia after August 3, 1698, stripped of her weaponry, and resold. There is no proof Francis ever married (not likely even for an Ensign), while serving in the Royal Navy. Francis was credited for the full Thirty years service in the Royal Navy. We have no doubt that Francis married a lady named Susan, but her surname was not Brinker, it was Burchett, and she was not born in Sweden, she was born in Virginia. Please study the two proofs dated April 20, 1684, and October 20, 1689 … pay particular attention to the latter proof, and examine the two names closely for the other person identified with Sarah … is most likely the origin of the surname that magically become … Brinker … a fabled lady purportedly born in Sweden, but surely born in Virginia…. For you see, that man, John Blanker, married Jane Houseman as his wife on October 16, 1674 at Allhallows London Wall Parish in London. John's father was an employee and an associate of the famed Perry & Company of London, purveyors of munitions, armament, and military ordinance to the Crown. John established a brand new storage facility at Elizabeth City during his yearlong stint in Virginia.

• Family: Family -

Sarah by her first husband William Brooker had at least one son, Christopher who married a German immigrant lady, Anna Baverman of Philadelphia (enumerated this record). We could not prove other children born to Sarah and William Booker.

• She immigrated in 1666 to Nansemond County, Virginia. Sarah was the daughter of Andrew Burchett of Nansemond County Virginia. We could not prove her mother. Andrew and his family were Quakers. His head right was claimed by Richard Ewell of Westmoreland, Northampton and Accomack Counties Virginia and used it for a patent dated July 15, 1657 in Northumberland County (see Cavaliers & Pioneers Vol., I, pg 352). It is quite possible Andrew married one of Richard's daughters; however, we have no proof. Her father died before 1684 when we first proved her head right claimed as Sarah Brooker, and evidently she was married to William Brooker before that date. Follows is her father's immigration proof.

• Information: 1663, Gloucester County, Virginia. Many researchers prove this man born in England, and immigrated to America, and we do not contend the fact thereto, it is entirely possible the tombstone record is correct, and he very well could have been born in London, although unlikely.
• Tombstone Inscription: 1739, Craven County, North Carolina. "While logging just off Muddy Landing Road (Scott's Store Road)
in the Scottstown aread near Goose Creek in Pamlico Cnty in March
of this year, William Cahoon uncovered a 600 to 800 pound granite
slab from an abandoned cemetery. The information on this huge
stone reads:

Edward Bryan, Born in London 1663, Emigrated to Nansemond
Cnty, Virginia 1690, Moved to Craven Cnty 1700 -- Died 1739.
Christiana, his wife dau. of Hodges Council, died 1743

This impressive headstone and the headstone of William B.
Perkins (d.1853) are the only two headstones bearing the inscriptions
in this cemetery. However, there appear to be at least ten other
burial sites marked with ballast stones."

Fifth Generation (Great Great-Grandchildren)



42. Capt. William Bryan (Morgan II4, Morgan I (Capt.)3, William (Capt.)2, John Sr. (Capt.)1) was born in 1680 in Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, , Brecon, Wales and died in 1751 in Perth Amboy, Burlington County, New Jersey at age 71.

• Information: 1680, Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, , Brecon, Wales. William was certified as Master and Ship Captain by Capt. Thomas Greene of Port Tobacco Maryland May 1706 at Port Tobacco.
William married Mary Minchin on 7 May 1708 in Great Barrington, , Gloucestershire, England. Mary was born in 1689 in Great Barrington, , Gloucestershire, England, was christened on 21 May 1689 in Great Barrington, , Gloucestershire, England, and died in 1739 in Perth Amboy, Burlington County, New Jersey at age 50.

• Information: 1689, Great Barrington, , Gloucestershire, England. Mary was the daughter of mariner Capt. William Minchin and his wife, Isabella - We could not prove her parents marriage.
• She died in 1739 in Perth Amboy, Burlington County, New Jersey. Mary died during the measles epidemic in New Jersey 1739.

The child from this marriage was:
65 F i. Jane Bryan was born in 1718 in Perth Amboy, Burlington County, New Jersey and died before 1785 in Rowan County, North Carolina.

Jane married James Oreton (d. 1777) in 1740 in Perth Amboy, Burlington County, New Jersey.

43. Morgan Bryan III (Morgan II4, Morgan I (Capt.)3, William (Capt.)2, John Sr. (Capt.)1) was born in 1684 in Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, , Brecon, Wales and died on 3 Apr 1763 in Rowan County, North Carolina at age 79.

9. Thomas Bryan b: 1735
--------At this point Martha Strode was 44 years of age.
• Information: 1684, Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, , Brecon, Wales. Morgan received his education at the English School at Brussels, the same as his father; however, we found no evidence this Morgan was educated as a mariner.

The years of mysteries concerning parents of this man should never have occurred. He was purportedly born in Sweden to an Irishman who landed in Virginia in 1650 with his parents, who then removed to Sweden, married, and had a son born in Sweden. Then the man and his wife removed to Ireland where he spent the remainder of his life attempting to restore the family power and authority. Somehow, after his father died 1694 in Ireland, this man purportedly landed in Pennsylvania, married there, and then migrated south to Virginia. Hopefully, the mysteries will someday disappear.

Strangely, if Morgan Bryan was the son of Francis Bryan as purported, why did he not name a son, Francis Bryan? During our research there were no males named Francis among Morgan and Martha's children. The given name Morgan is unique to four Bryan males, all of them descending from William in four direct generations, Morgan-to-Morgan; Morgan-to-Morgan, and Morgan-to-Morgan, and the name Morgan appears in the descendant lines of Cornelius Bryan (O'Bryan).

Since publication of the two books Boone Volume I, and Boone Volume II we have expended considerable effort to prove where Morgan Bryan was born, and stand on the location of his mother and her parents in Wales. Denmark has excellent birth records beginning 1620-1650, and other than the nine children of Capt. William Morgan and his second wife, we found no other Bryan or variant spellings thereto until mid 1750. We checked Denmark for any record of a Francis Bryan there 1600 to 1700 with no proof located. We do not believe the birth year of 1671 is even reasonable for this Morgan Bryan in that, if he did not marry Martha Strode until 1719 as is purported by Bryan Family Researchers, he would have been aged 48 years old, which would not be at all common during the era of concern.

Perhaps of even greater significance, in following the descendants of Morgan Bryan and Martha Strode, we have yet to prove one male descendant named Francis Bryan....

PERTH AMBOY CHURCH IS 302 AND COUNTING
By RALPH GINZBURG
Published: Sunday, February 15, 1987

ST. PETER'S Episcopal Church here is preparing to celebrate its 302d year. It is the oldest Episcopal parish in New Jersey, dating from 1685, or nearly a century before the nation was born.

Although an official state publication, ''Fifty New Jersey Firsts,'' calls St. Peter's the oldest Episcopal parish in America, the Rev. J. Rodney Croes, the rector, is not ready to lay claim to that distinction.

''It is a matter of dispute,'' he said, ''and three other Episcopal parishes may be older than ours. For me, it is honor enough to be the oldest parish in New Jersey, and that is a claim no one disputes.''

St. Peter's traces its origins to the first prayer assembly of a group of 12 Church of England communicants who designated themselves the Congregation of St. Peter's Episcopal Church.

Soon after their meeting, they set about erecting a church, using the foundation of an abandoned courthouse. The site is not far from the bluff overlooking Raritan Bay where St. Peter's stands today.

Two other edifices followed the first, the third being the brick-and-mortar American Gothic house of worship that shelters the flock today.

In 1706, Queen Anne presented the parish with a set of handwrought communion silver - it is still in use - and in 1718 King George I granted St. Peter's its official charter.

The most serious threat to the church occurred around 1770, when the area surrounding New Perth, as the city was then called, was ravaged by smallpox. Fatalities reduced the number of parishioners to fewer than 100 and forced Gov. William Franklin to evacuate the city, then the state capital, for Trenton.

The Governor, incidentally, was a son of Benjamin Franklin and a vestryman of St. Peter's. He was arrested by Gen. George Washington in 1776 for having served as Governor for the British.

During the Revolution, St. Peter's was commandeered, alternately, by British and American troops. They ransacked its interior, converting it into a barracks and stable; burned pews and floor boards for firewood and ripped up gravestones for tabletops and ovens.

Evidence of gunfire can still be seen in damaged gravestones in the burial ground around St. Peter's.

Both church and cemetery are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, a compilation of the United States Department of the Interior.

''But we're not merely an historical relic,'' said Father Croes. ''Our history is rich, but the history we write today is equally important.

''We'll mark our anniversary with a visitation by the Bishop of New Jersey in June, but we're not making a gigantic thing of it.

''More important to us are the social outreach programs we conduct on a daily basis for the elderly, for drug addicts, for alcoholics and for inner-city kids, whom we get out onto the waters of Raritan Bay each summer through a sailing program.

''It gets them off the streets, motivates them to do better in school and opens them up to the beauties of God's great outdoors.''

The ethnic character of St. Peter's parish has changed dramatically over the centuries, along with that of Perth Amboy itself. Today, 35 percent of the parish's 500 active members (and 1,000 inactive) are black and there are several interracial couples.

The first black man to vote in America, Thomas Mundy Peterson, was a member of St. Peter's and is buried in its graveyard. He voted in the Perth Amboy mayoral election of March 31, 1870, one day after adoption of the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution.

''We are probably one of the best-integrated parishes in the diocese,'' said Father Croes.

''There is a tremendous potential in the urban challenge - the challenge of racial harmony, housing for the poor, environmental detoxification, etcetera. And we're ready for it.

''Our parish motto is: 'Nothing is hopeless.' ''
---------------
Perth Amboy Township was formed on October 31, 1693, and was enlarged during the 1720s to encompass Perth Amboy city. Perth Amboy served as the colonial capital from 1686 until 1776. Perth Amboy's city hall, first built as a courthouse in 1685, survived major fires in 1731 and 1764 and is the oldest city hall in continuous use in the United States. From the formation of Perth Amboy Township in 1693 there was no county designation until Burlington County formed in 1710.
• Marriage: 22 Aug 1714, St. Peter's Parish Church, Perth Amboy, Burlington County, New Jersey. Marriage by visiting Mister Edward Vaughn, Rector of St. John's Church in Elizabeth City New Jersey.

• Information: 1691, Brugge, , Brabant, Belgium. Martha was the first child born to Edward and Susanna, she was born no later than September 1691. She was of legal age when she married Morgan Bryan, and for her to marry him without consent of guardian or parent, she had to be aged 18 years. Moreover, unless there was a large dowry paid to Martha's family, and she were not born until 1697 as purported by her family, in no way would the Strode family allowed her to marry a man more than twice her age. Besides, if she were born 1697 per the tombstone record of some fame held by the museum in Salisbury North Carolina, she would have been under age 18 when she married Morgan Bryan, and she could not have married without permission of her guardian.

Samuel married Elizabeth McMahon. Elizabeth was born in 1732 in Frederick County, Virginia and died before 1810 in Fayetteville, Anson County, North Carolina.

• Information: 1732, Frederick County, Virginia. Elizabeth was Samuel's second wife. His first wife was
68. Eleanor Bryan (Morgan III5, Morgan II4, Morgan I (Capt.)3, William (Capt.)2, John Sr. (Capt.)1) was born in 1722 in Chester County, Pennsylvania and died in 1792 in Madison County, Kentucky at age 70.
Eleanor married William Linville, son of John Linville Sr. and Anne Hendricks. William was born in 1718 in Stafford County, Virginia and died in Jul 1766 in Linville Falls, Rowan, North Carolina at age 48.

• He died in 1766 in Linville Falls, Rowan County, North Carolina. William and his son John were killed by Native Americans at the Falls of a river, and the falls were named after the Linville family.
---------------
"Two men named Linville from the forks of the Yadkin went to hunt on the Watauga River between 1760 and 1770. They employed John Williams, a lad of sixteen, to go with them, keep camp and cook for them. They were sleeping in the camp when the Indians came on them and killed the Linvilles. They "shot Williams through the thigh," but he escaped and rode a horse from the mouth of the Watauga "Hollows in Surry" in five days. He recovered from his wound and became a man of influence.

It is now almost certain that these falls have taken their name from these two men, who may have visited them before their last hunt and told the people of their location and beauty, for Dr. Draper (note, p. 183) records that the stream itself was named from the fact that in the "latter part of the summer of 1766 William Linville, his son and a young man had gone from the lower Yadkin to this river to hunt, where they were surprised by a party of Indians, the two Linvilles killed, the other person, though badly wounded, effecting his escape.

The Linvilles were related to the famous Daniel Boone.

" It is a matter of record that a family by the name of Linvil---probably an economic way of spelling Linville---were members of Three Forks Baptist Church and lived on what is now known as Dog Skin Creek, or branch, but which stream used to be called Linville Creek. The membership of that church shows that Abraham, Catharine and Margaret Linvil were members between 1790 and 1800, while the minutes show that on the second Saturday in June, 1799, when the Three Forks Church were holding a meeting at Cove Creek, just prior to giving that community a church of its own, Abraham Linvil was received by experience, and in July following, at the same place, Catharine and Margaret Linvil also were so received. Several of the older residents of Dog Skin, Brushy Fork and Cove Creek confirms the
reality of the residence of the Linville family in that community.

In September, 1799, Brother Vanderpool's petition for a constitution at Cove Creek was granted, Catherine Linvil having been granted her letter of dismission the previous August.

• Information: 9 Apr 1730, Frederick County, Virginia. We could not prove any children born to John and Sarah. The 1790 Census proves them both living Rowan County, but in 1800 there are no Bryan families enumerated that Census Record. By that, it is evident that John died after writing his will, and Sarah died before it was probated or moved on with any of the children born to them. John was Sheriff of Rowan County 1759 when the position was mostly held by artisans, and it is evident John was a planter. He was serving in the Militia 1759 while he was Sheriff, and noted as such on tax records for 1759. This John Bryan did not serve in the Military during the Revolution.

• Information: 1717, Brugge, , Brabant, Belgium. Mary was the daughter of Jonathan Bumpas and his wife, Marian Stewart, we could not prove her parents marriage. She was a spinster aged 21 when she married John Bryan. Both parents gave consent to the marriage. Her father was a merchant of London and Brugge. Several members of the Bumpas family settled in New England early.
John next married Elizabeth Balzell on 6 Oct 1744 in Saint Phillips, Barbados. Elizabeth was born in 1720 in Barbados, West Indies and died before 1785 in Richmond County, Virginia.

• Information: 1724, Barbados, West Indies. Jonathan was certified as Master and Ship Captain May 1745 when but age 21, but he could not serve as Master until age 26 in 1750. Because he could not hire out in any postition except mate or sailor he joined his older brother John then located in Richmond County Virginia. Through his brother Jonathan purchased a plantation in Culpeper County, and it was overseen by John when Jonathan was at sea. Besides his mariner profession, Jonathan was a merchant. When his son William married Letty Asher and was aged 21, Jonathan deeded the Culpeper plantation to him, before removing to North Carolina with their youngest son, Francis. We could not prove but one son born to Jonathan, one with each wife. More than likely we are missing children in the ten year gap between his 1st marriage and the birth of William.
Jonathan married Maria Luther on 17 Jan 1750 in Wimborne Minster, , Dorset, England. Maria was born in 1729 in Sankt Peter, Kobensharn, Bornholms Amt, Denmark, was christened on 14 May 1729 in Sankt Peter, Kobensharn, Bornholms Amt, Denmark, and died in 1765 in Culpeper County, Virginia at age 36.

• Information: 1729, Sankt Peter, Kobensharn, Bornholms Amt, Denmark. Maria was the daughter of mariner Jurgen Luther and his wife, Susanna Magdalena - Her parents married in Sweden, we could not prove their marriage, or her mother's maiden name. Maria's brothers Peter settled in Colleton County South Carolina before she married Jonathan Bryan, and evidence suggests the two families visited whenever the opportunity arose. Peter and his wife left several descendants there, in particular, her nephew Giles Luther.

• Information: 1742, Kinglassie, , Fife, Scotland. Jane was the daughter of mariner and merchant David Page and his wife, Jane Warren. Her parent's married somewhere in New England in the early 1720s. David was born in either Belgium or Jamaica as his father held property in both places, but lived in Strood. David owned a large manor at Kinglassie, which is located across the bay from Edinburgh, and about twenty miles due north. He was the only son but had eight or nine sisters, and was heir apparent. The family held property at Strood, Boston, Bergen New Jersey, Brugge, Jamaica, plantations at St. James Barbados, St. Nevis, and Charleston South Carolina. Jane's youngest brother David firmly entrenched the family in South Carolina before the Revolution, and the majority of the Page family all came to America, and so far as we can prove retained no holdings in England, Ireland or Scotland. This Page family established in South Carolina no later than September 8, 1679 when her father David's grandfather, William obtained the first South Carolina Land Grant located on the Ashley River (proof included). At that time there were but one governing entity in South Carolina based in Charleston. The first division of authority would not take place until May 10, 1682 when three administrative districts were created, Colleton, Berkeley and Craven. This particular Page family is the same branch as that of Francis Page, immigrant, of the Middle Plantation in Virginia 1627.

Jane's brother, John Page Esq., obtained a patent of 2634 acres in Halifax County Virginia February 16, 1771. He removed to Madison County Kentucky very early and well before 1795 gave the Halifax property to Jane. Her brother was active in setting up the Kentucky government system.
79. Capt. John Bryan (Jonathan (Capt.)5, Joseph Sr.4, John3, William (Capt.)2, John Sr. (Capt.)1) was born in 1735 in Bertie Precinct, North Carolina and died on 12 Mar 1782 in Rowan County, North Carolina at age 47.
 

• Information: 1729, Bertie Precinct, North Carolina. This man was a Militia Captain during the Revolution. He and his troops fought the battle at Guilford Courthouse March 15, 1781 , a most horrid and wholly gruesome affair; he should be viewed historically as a Revolutionary Hero, but for whatever reasons, that is not the case.
• He died on 12 Mar 1782 in Rowan County, North Carolina. Capt. John Bryan was shot and killed by Colonel David Fanning March 12, 1782. Fanning was a Tory, and heavily involved in several North and South Carolina Battles. Fanning ordered Bryan's home to be burned, after the fire was set and Bryan resisted, Fanning and one of his men shot and killed Bryan. David Fanning was born 1754 in Rowan County North Carolina. Both men were involved at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse March 15, 1781.

Bryan, John, Capt. N. C. Militia; killed at his home by Tories Mch. 12, 1782.
• Postscript: 24 Jun 1790, Long Beach, King's County, New Brunswick, Canada. Historically the event that took place March 12, 1782 should not have happened, for Cornwallis had surrendered to George Washington on October 19, 1781 at Yorktown but it took a while for the news to travel, and another personal family tragedy involving war was recorded in the history books.

After Fanning killed John Bryan, David Fanning went to Chatham County where he married Sarah Carr April 25, 1782, and thence fled to Canada where he died March 14, 1825 Digby County in Nova Scotia. He recorded in his journal about the murder of Capt. John Bryan. That record follows, verbatim as David Fanning wrote it:

. . . . "About the 7th March 1782 Capt. Walker and Currie, of the Loyal Militia fell in, with a party of Rebels, and came to an engagement, and fired for some time, 'till the rebels had fired all their ammunition; and then, wished to come to terms of peace between each party; and no plundering, killing or murdering should be committed by either party or side; which was concluded upon by each Colonel, for such certain limited bounds; which was to be agreed upon by each Col.; and if they could not agree, each party was to remain neutral until matters was made known, respecting the term which they had to agree upon. Soon after my men came to me and informed what they had done; we received the rebel Col. Balfour's answer; 'there was a resting place for a Tory's foot upon the Earth.' He also immediately sent out his party, and on the 10th, I saw the same company coming to a certain house where we were fiddling and dancing. We immediately prepared ourselves in readiness to receive them, , their number being 27 and our number only seven; We immediately mounted our horses, and went some little distance from the house, and commenced a fire, for some considerable time; night coming on they retreated and left the ground. Some time before, while, we were treating with each other, I had ordered and collected twenty-five men to have a certain dress made which was linen frocks, died black, with red cuffs, red elbows, and red shoulder cape also, and belted with scarlet, all fringed with white fringe, and on the 12th of March, my men being all properly equipped, assembled together, in order, to give them a small scourge, which we set out for. On Balfour's plantation, we came upon him, he endeavored to make his escape; but we soon prevented him, fired at him, and wounded him. The first ball he received was through one of his arms, and ranged through his body; the other through his neck; which put an end to his committing any more ill deeds. We also wounded another of his men. We then proceeded to their Colonel's (Collier) belonging to said county of Randolph; on our way we burnt several rebel houses, and catched several prisoners; the night coming on and the distance to said Collier's was so far, that it was late before we got there. He made his escape, having received three balls through his shirt. But I took care to destroy the whole of his plantation. I then pursued our route, and came to one Capt. John Bryan's, another rebel officer. I told him if he would come out of the house, I would give him a parole; which he refused, saying that he had taken parole from Lord Cornwallis, swearing 'by God! He had broken that and he would also break our Tory parole. With that I immediately ordered the house to be set on fire, which was instantly done. As soon as he saw the flames of the fire, increasing, he called out to me, and desired me to spare his house, for his wife and children's sake, and he would walk out with his arms in his hands. I immediately answered him, that if he walked out, that his house should be saved, for his wife and children. When he came out, he said 'Here, damn you, here I am.' With that he received two balls through his body: He came out with his gun cocked, and sword at the same time."

Source: Narrative of Colonel David Fanning, written by himself, Detailing Astonishing Events in North Carolina from 1775 to 1783, King's County, Long Beach, New Brunswick, Canada, June 24th 1790:

The following:extracted from: The Narrative of Colonel David Fanning, Edited by Thomas H. Wynne, the secretary of the VA Historical Society

"His grandfather, Bryan Fanning, was the first of the family to settle in the county, and his father, David, had moved his family to NC where he was drowned in the Deep River before his son was born. His widow remained in NC with her young daughter and new son, but the struggle was apparently to much for her. She succumbed in 1764, leaving her two children, Elizabeth and David, to be bound as orphans to guardians in Johnston County (the present Wake County). In later years David Fanning would claim his father's property in VA, two plantations totaling 1100 acres, but he never succeeded in securing his inheritance. In July 1764, the county court bound the nine-year-old Fanning to a guardian, Needham Bryan, Jr, a county justice, who at least fulfilled his obligation to educate the boy. Fanning was apprenticed to Thomas Leech who may have been a loom mechanic. In 1778 Fanning was reportedly working as a mechanic and loom builder in Chatham County, although he said nothing of his early life other that he was "farmer bred". Some insight on this period is provided by the folk traditions compiled by Eli W Caruthers in his history published in 1854. According to Caruthers, Fanning left his guardian because of harsh treatment and fled to Orange County where he was taken in by the John O' Daniel family. It was here that he was supposedly cured of scald head or tetter worm, an offensive scalp disease that left him bald. Thereafter he wore a silk skullcap. Another tradition from Caruthers is the widespread reputation that Fanning had as a youth of being a superb horseman and a tamer of wild horses."…

• Information: 1734, (Oley MM) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We did not intend to work descendants beyond the Immigrant family; however, for 275 years we have never seen this man's given name presented as he married Rebecca Bryan. The proof is in the Marriage Record, which is indexed Bride and Groom in Rowan County North Carolina archives, which were redone by North Carolina whereas the extant records are correct without doubt. Both Bride and Groom records are included in the Marriage Event for James Daniel Boone and his wife, Rebecca Bryan. So far as we can prove, this is the first James Boone born and named in this particular Boone family line since James, the son of George Boone and Sarah Mogridge. Then, of course, James Daniel Boone and his wife, Rebecca Bryan, named their first son ... James Boone.

• Information: 1753, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There is obvious conflation of the children of Josiah and his three wives, primarily because of the poor, non-existing, and now validated Confabulated documentation initiated by Hinton family researchers. Such things as purported marriage records that never existed, and the trend of that family to ... pretend ... to be descendants of a lady that never existed.

Descendants of Josiah and his father prove both men in places they were not at various dates during their lifetimes, which proves troublesome for everyone. We found little evidence of actual physical locations reliably validated by researchers of these families excepting the proofs that we included in the records for this family.

Lastly, Josiah Boone did not remove to Kentucky with his father where we proved them both living in Madison County Kentucky April 17, 1789 with a hard record that no researcher will overturn. We find no evidence that prior researchers have taken into account the various county formation dates in Kentucky.
• Proof: 24 Jun 1762, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. From CD V1 #3130 - This CD VI #3130 is not referenced as to the publisher, the date published, or where published, or where the CD can be obtained - The cited and purported proof perpetrated by Hinton Family Researchers, and includes the following data quoted per several disparate Hinton family researchers.

"Shows that Josiah Boone Sr. died in Woodford County, Kentucky. Has information that he married Hannah HENTON, who was not a Quaker. He was condemned and removed from the religion on 24 June 1762. It also indicates that he was in the War of the Revolution, with the same information appearing in regard to his son Josiah Boone, Jr."

Dear Mr. White:

I have checked the Shelby County, Ky. Deed records for 1801-1808. I only found one deed for Josiah and Percis Boone. It was between the Boone's and Isham Talbott in 1802. It does not show their signatures or marks; it looks like it was signed by the person who wrote the deed. I will be glad to send you a photocopy of the deed if you will send me your street address; and $15 for research, copies, and postage.

I also checked the Shelby County Wills but did not find any records for Josiah or Percis. A Shelby County marriage abstract book shows a Pearcis Boone, daughter of Isaiah Boone, who married Abner Stark in 1811; but no marriage for Josiah and Percis.

If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.
Happy Holidays,

Battle Bryan, as he was baptized, but changed his name, because the children call him a battling stick, to Bartlett, was the son of Lewis Bryan and Elizabeth White, of Iredell County. Lewis was the first merchant in Jefferson, about 1800, but he had a clerk whose name was Merchison, and on one occasion, when Lewis was absent, purchasing goods, this clerk sold all the goods he could convert into money at a small price, collected all the debts he could at a large discount, and disappeared. He returned to Iredell with his wife, and was killed there by a tree, which fell on him at a "chopping frolic." Lewis was the son of John Bryan, who was at home on a furlough when the notorious Col. David Fanning, of the Revolutionary period, killed him in cold blood."
