---------<br />
We have accessed a considerable number of resources attempting to prove this man<br />
and his family. We assumed the extant data circulated about this <strong>Bryan</strong> family to be<br />
correct, and followed it accordingly. Then we began finding bits and pieces of<br />
information that suggested the accepted historical pedigree was suspect. We then<br />
turned our attention to locate sound proofs of the family the <strong>Bryan</strong> family of<br />
Cheddington in Buckinghamshire. We followed Sir Francis <strong>Bryan</strong> throughout his<br />
lifetime and there is tons of extant data in England and Ireland whereas there is no<br />
doubt about him, or his second wife. Serious doubt exists however about Sir Francis<br />
<strong>Bryan</strong> leaving descendants by his second wife, Lady Joan Fitzgerald. We turned to<br />
the latest published book that proves Armorial Bearings of the United Kingdom's<br />
antique heraldry, and the trusted Burkes publication proved that Sir William Smith that<br />
went to Ireland in service to his country did in fact exist, and he married Bridget<br />
Fleetwood.<br />
Sir William Smith was born circa 1550, and he was the son of George Smith and his<br />
wife, Isabella. He married Bridget Fleetwood, daughter of Thomas Fleetwood in<br />
1590. Sir William died in 1626; however, he was a peer of Sir Francis <strong>Bryan</strong> Jr., born<br />
1550; therefore, ruling out any possibility that he could have married his peer's<br />
4
daughter. Then the proof that cannot be denied - Sir William Smith and Bridget, had<br />
four children, Sir William Smith Jr., Elizabeth Smith, Bridget Smith, and Sir Thomas<br />
Smith, 1st Bt. They did not have a daughter Anne…. Moreover, he did not have a<br />
sister named Ann. Next we went searching to prove the lady Sir Francis <strong>Bryan</strong> Jr.<br />
married, only to learn that there was no Sir Francis <strong>Bryan</strong> II according to the estate<br />
record of Lady Joan Fitzgerald.<br />
We next started searching for an early source of the extant assumed pedigree of this<br />
family, and located the following source published by Mr. James William Shearer of<br />
Somerville, New Jersey in his book in 1915. The following quote from page, 11:<br />
"William Smith (?) <strong>Bryan</strong>, m. -----, A landholder in Ireland, probably Claire co. when<br />
Cromwell Invaded Ireland in 1650; transported as a "rebellious subject" to the<br />
American colonies, with his family of eleven sons and a ship's load of goods and<br />
chattels. He settled in Gloucester co., Va.<br />
1) Francis (?), m. -----. The oldest of the 11 sons. 9 unk.<br />
2) Morgan 1st, who was in Norfolk in 1663, was probably one of his sons."<br />
That quote is the earliest published reference to William Smith <strong>Bryan</strong> we located.<br />
Until that find, we could not locate any record in England, Scotland, or Ireland that<br />
identified anyone named … William Smith <strong>Bryan</strong>. Anyone researching this family<br />
should have seen red flags because of the specific reference that the second child<br />
was named, Morgan, but he was much too young to be Morgan <strong>Bryan</strong> who married<br />
Martha Strode. We also read the book, The Spear and the Spindle: "Ancestors of Sir<br />
Francis <strong>Bryan</strong>," by Terry A. Fuller. We were disillusioned as there were assertions,<br />
but no proofs or dates.<br />
At this juncture in our research we had then proven William <strong>Bryan</strong>'s 2 nd wife, but<br />
not his first wife, whom was unknown until we discovered a christening record of a<br />
mariner family living in Ireland. The dates fit, but the record ended with four children,<br />
and it identified them, as the children of a William <strong>Bryan</strong>, mariner. The record did not<br />
prove his wife.<br />
Hard records are sufficient in number in Virginia to validate children born to William<br />
and his wives. We do not include prior published data about this family by several<br />
different researchers, for their published pedigree presentations was not based on<br />
facts; instead, the published data was based on <strong>Family</strong> Legend and Lore, but no<br />
extant evidence for the first generation.<br />
.<br />
The exact date when William and his family made Virginia their home was not<br />
recorded, but upon arrival he had ten sons and two daughters, for one daughter had<br />
already married and left home. Nine of his children were christened in Copenhagen,<br />
per the record as now published for descendant use.<br />
William and his family landed west of Mobjack Bay near Gloucester Point, which is<br />
near the conflux of the York River and Chesapeake Bay. The land area was then in<br />
York County in 1650 the logical year of their arrival. It would become Gloucester<br />
County when it formed from York in 1651. His heir apparent and eldest son, Morgan<br />
<strong>Bryan</strong> I, had been living in Virginia since 1642, and was familiar with the Virginia<br />
5
Colonial system, which would be a significant benefit in settling this family in their<br />
new home.<br />
In this record we show eleven sons and three daughters born to William and wives<br />
and we believe there was another son, but we do not have any credible evidence;<br />
therefore, we omitted him from this record. We prove their respective spouses, years<br />
of birth and death, place of birth and death, and any Key children that we believe<br />
conflated and or situated in the wrong descendant line. We had one significant error in<br />
the two books published, Boone Volume I and Boone Volume II. Those errors<br />
corrected herein this record. We attributed the wrong Edward <strong>Bryan</strong> to this Captain<br />
William <strong>Bryan</strong>.<br />
• Proof: 12 Dec 1626, London, , Greater London, England. To further substantiate and<br />
document the historical Pedigree and <strong>Family</strong> Record of this family the following<br />
proofs used to confront and challenge the existing <strong>Family</strong> Record and Purported<br />
Pedigree of this William <strong>Bryan</strong>, by <strong>Bryan</strong> <strong>Family</strong> researchers since 1915 and<br />
publication of the book who married twice, and had fourteen children by his two<br />
wives.<br />

19. Capt. Edward <strong>Bryan</strong> (William (Capt.) 2 , John Sr. (Capt.) 1 ) was born in 1649 in<br />
Copenhagen, , Københavns Amt, Denmark, was christened on 23 Mar 1649 in Copenhagen, ,<br />
Københavns Amt, Denmark, and died before 1720 in Great Yarmouth, , Norfolk, England.<br />
Noted events in his life were:<br />
• Information: 1649, Copenhagen, , Københavns Amt, Denmark. Edward was certified<br />
Ship Captain and Master by Capt. George Barker of Charles City Virginia at Charles<br />
City May 28, 1675. Edward hired out to Barker and Associates and removed to the port<br />
at Great Yarmouth England.<br />
Edward married Elizabeth Lingwood on 29 Oct 1676 in Acle, , Norfolk, England. Elizabeth<br />
was born in 1659 in Glasgow, , Lanark, Scotland, was christened on 28 Aug 1659 in High<br />
Church, Glasgow, , Lanark, Scotland, and died before 1720 in Great Yarmouth, , Norfolk,<br />
England.<br />
Noted events in her life were:<br />
• Information: 1659, Glasgow, , Lanark, Scotland. Elizabeth was the daughter of mariner<br />
Richard Lingwood and his wife, Elspeth Finnison of Glasgow. Her father owned<br />
several ships, and was active in the trade at the port of Yarmouth England. Her family<br />
moved to Acle in Norfolk after the Restoration of Charles II.<br />
20. Ensign Francis <strong>Bryan</strong> (William (Capt.) 2 , John Sr. (Capt.) 1 ) was born in 1651 in Gloucester<br />
26
County, Virginia and died after 1715 in Nansemond County, Virginia.<br />
Noted events in his life were:<br />
• Information: 1651, Gloucester County, Virginia. Many researchers show Francis as a<br />
knight, which he was not. The key for researchers to properly validate this man was via<br />
his wife, Susan Brinker, a lady purportedly born in Denmark. There is no evidence that<br />
supports the bold errant conclusions made by prior researchers that Francis presence in<br />
Denmark can be validated except whenever his ship landed there, if it ever did. We<br />
could not prove any estate records for a Francis <strong>Bryan</strong> in Ireland, England, or America.<br />
Francis was a sailor, but he was not certified as a Mate, Master or Ship Captain.<br />
Francis was the only child born to William and Catherine in Virginia 1651.<br />
When Francis came of age 18 in 1669 he enlisted in the Royal Navy. With him being<br />
the lastborn son of eleven, his chance of an inheritance of significant value was<br />
certainly not good. The last voyage he made was aboard the … Dover Prize … a 32<br />
gun fifth-rate and captured French man-o-war, taken as a prize in 1693, and then<br />
identified by the French as the … Legere (in English means … Light). She was refitted<br />
and renamed the … HMS Dover Prize. She was retired after she landed in Virginia<br />
after August 3, 1698, stripped of her weaponry, and resold. There is no proof Francis<br />
ever married (not likely even for an Ensign), while serving in the Royal Navy. Francis<br />
was credited for the full Thirty years service in the Royal Navy. We have no doubt that<br />
Francis married a lady named Susan, but her surname was not Brinker, it was Burchett,<br />
and she was not born in Sweden, she was born in Virginia. Please study the two proofs<br />
dated April 20, 1684, and October 20, 1689 … pay particular attention to the latter<br />
proof, and examine the two names closely for the other person identified with Sarah …<br />
is most likely the origin of the surname that magically become … Brinker … a fabled<br />
lady purportedly born in Sweden, but surely born in Virginia…. For you see, that<br />
man, John Blanker, married Jane Houseman as his wife on October 16,<br />
1674 at Allhallows London Wall Parish in London. John's father was an employee and<br />
an associate of the famed Perry & Company of London, purveyors of munitions,<br />
armament, and military ordinance to the Crown. John established a brand new storage<br />
facility at Elizabeth City during his yearlong stint in Virginia.<br />

Francis married Sarah Burchett after 3 Aug 1698 in Nansemond County, Virginia. Sarah<br />
was born in 1666 in Nansemond County, Virginia and died after 1715 in Nansemond County,<br />
Virginia.<br />
Noted events in her life were:<br />
• <strong>Family</strong>: <strong>Family</strong> -<br />
Sarah by her first husband William Brooker had at least one son, Christopher who<br />
27
married a German immigrant lady, Anna Baverman of Philadelphia (enumerated this<br />
record). We could not prove other children born to Sarah and William Booker.<br />
Children by Francis <strong>Bryan</strong>, her 2nd husband - all born Nansemond County Virginia<br />
Ann - enumerated this record<br />
David - enumerated this record<br />
William - enumerated this record<br />
• She immigrated in 1666 to Nansemond County, Virginia. Sarah was the daughter of<br />
Andrew Burchett of Nansemond County Virginia. We could not prove her mother.<br />
Andrew and his family were Quakers. His head right was claimed by Richard Ewell of<br />
Westmoreland, Northampton and Accomack Counties Virginia and used it for a patent<br />
dated July 15, 1657 in Northumberland County (see Cavaliers & Pioneers Vol., I, pg<br />
352). It is quite possible Andrew married one of Richard's daughters; however, we<br />
have no proof. Her father died before 1684 when we first proved her head right<br />
claimed as Sarah Brooker, and evidently she was married to William Brooker before<br />
that date. Follows is her father's immigration proof.<br />

9. Thomas <strong>Bryan</strong> b: 1735<br />
--------At this point Martha Strode was 44 years of age.<br />
• Information: 1684, Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, , Brecon, Wales. Morgan received his<br />
education at the English School at Brussels, the same as his father; however, we found<br />
no evidence this Morgan was educated as a mariner.<br />
The years of mysteries concerning parents of this man should never have occurred. He<br />
was purportedly born in Sweden to an Irishman who landed in Virginia in 1650 with his<br />
parents, who then removed to Sweden, married, and had a son born in Sweden. Then<br />
the man and his wife removed to Ireland where he spent the remainder of his life<br />
attempting to restore the family power and authority. Somehow, after his father died<br />
1694 in Ireland, this man purportedly landed in Pennsylvania, married there, and then<br />
migrated south to Virginia. Hopefully, the mysteries will someday disappear.<br />
Strangely, if Morgan <strong>Bryan</strong> was the son of Francis <strong>Bryan</strong> as purported, why did he not<br />
name a son, Francis <strong>Bryan</strong>? During our research there were no males named Francis<br />
among Morgan and Martha's children. The given name Morgan is unique to four <strong>Bryan</strong><br />
males, all of them descending from William in four direct generations, Morgan-to-<br />
Morgan; Morgan-to-Morgan, and Morgan-to-Morgan, and the name Morgan appears in<br />
the descendant lines of Cornelius <strong>Bryan</strong> (O'<strong>Bryan</strong>).<br />
Since publication of the two books Boone Volume I, and Boone Volume II we have<br />
expended considerable effort to prove where Morgan <strong>Bryan</strong> was born, and stand on the<br />
location of his mother and her parents in Wales. Denmark has excellent birth records<br />
beginning 1620-1650, and other than the nine children of Capt. William Morgan and his<br />
second wife, we found no other <strong>Bryan</strong> or variant spellings thereto until mid 1750. We<br />
checked Denmark for any record of a Francis <strong>Bryan</strong> there 1600 to 1700 with no proof<br />
located. We do not believe the birth year of 1671 is even reasonable for this Morgan<br />
<strong>Bryan</strong> in that, if he did not marry Martha Strode until 1719 as is purported by <strong>Bryan</strong><br />
<strong>Family</strong> Researchers, he would have been aged 48 years old, which would not be at all<br />
common during the era of concern.<br />
Perhaps of even greater significance, in following the descendants of Morgan <strong>Bryan</strong> and<br />
Martha Strode, we have yet to prove one male descendant named Francis <strong>Bryan</strong>....<br />

PERTH AMBOY CHURCH IS 302 AND COUNTING<br />
By RALPH GINZBURG<br />
Published: Sunday, February 15, 1987<br />
ST. PETER'S Episcopal Church here is preparing to celebrate its 302d year. It is the<br />
oldest Episcopal parish in New Jersey, dating from 1685, or nearly a century before the<br />
nation was born.<br />
Although an official state publication, ''Fifty New Jersey Firsts,'' calls St. Peter's the<br />
oldest Episcopal parish in America, the Rev. J. Rodney Croes, the rector, is not ready<br />
to lay claim to that distinction.<br />
''It is a matter of dispute,'' he said, ''and three other Episcopal parishes may be older<br />
than ours. For me, it is honor enough to be the oldest parish in New Jersey, and that is a<br />
claim no one disputes.''<br />
St. Peter's traces its origins to the first prayer assembly of a group of 12 Church of<br />
51
England communicants who designated themselves the Congregation of St. Peter's<br />
Episcopal Church.<br />
Soon after their meeting, they set about erecting a church, using the foundation of an<br />
abandoned courthouse. The site is not far from the bluff overlooking Raritan Bay where<br />
St. Peter's stands today.<br />
Two other edifices followed the first, the third being the brick-and-mortar American<br />
Gothic house of worship that shelters the flock today.<br />
In 1706, Queen Anne presented the parish with a set of handwrought communion silver<br />
- it is still in use - and in 1718 King George I granted St. Peter's its official charter.<br />
The most serious threat to the church occurred around 1770, when the area surrounding<br />
New Perth, as the city was then called, was ravaged by smallpox. Fatalities reduced<br />
the number of parishioners to fewer than 100 and forced Gov. William Franklin to<br />
evacuate the city, then the state capital, for Trenton.<br />
The Governor, incidentally, was a son of Benjamin Franklin and a vestryman of St.<br />
Peter's. He was arrested by Gen. George Washington in 1776 for having served as<br />
Governor for the British.<br />
During the Revolution, St. Peter's was commandeered, alternately, by British and<br />
American troops. They ransacked its interior, converting it into a barracks and stable;<br />
burned pews and floor boards for firewood and ripped up gravestones for tabletops and<br />
ovens.<br />
Evidence of gunfire can still be seen in damaged gravestones in the burial ground<br />
around St. Peter's.<br />
Both church and cemetery are listed in the National Register of Historic Places, a<br />
compilation of the United States Department of the Interior.<br />
''But we're not merely an historical relic,'' said Father Croes. ''Our history is rich, but<br />
the history we write today is equally important.<br />
''We'll mark our anniversary with a visitation by the Bishop of New Jersey in June, but<br />
we're not making a gigantic thing of it.<br />
''More important to us are the social outreach programs we conduct on a daily basis for<br />
the elderly, for drug addicts, for alcoholics and for inner-city kids, whom we get out<br />
onto the waters of Raritan Bay each summer through a sailing program.<br />
''It gets them off the streets, motivates them to do better in school and opens them up to<br />
the beauties of God's great outdoors.''<br />
The ethnic character of St. Peter's parish has changed dramatically over the centuries,<br />
along with that of Perth Amboy itself. Today, 35 percent of the parish's 500 active<br />
members (and 1,000 inactive) are black and there are several interracial couples.<br />
52
The first black man to vote in America, Thomas Mundy Peterson, was a member of St.<br />
Peter's and is buried in its graveyard. He voted in the Perth Amboy mayoral election of<br />
March 31, 1870, one day after adoption of the 15th Amendment to the United States<br />
Constitution.<br />
''We are probably one of the best-integrated parishes in the diocese,'' said Father<br />
Croes.<br />
''There is a tremendous potential in the urban challenge - the challenge of racial<br />
harmony, housing for the poor, environmental detoxification, etcetera. And we're ready<br />
for it.<br />
''Our parish motto is: 'Nothing is hopeless.' ''<br />
---------------<br />
Perth Amboy Township was formed on October 31, 1693, and was enlarged during the<br />
1720s to encompass Perth Amboy city. Perth Amboy served as the colonial capital<br />
from 1686 until 1776. Perth Amboy's city hall, first built as a courthouse in 1685,<br />
survived major fires in 1731 and 1764 and is the oldest city hall in continuous use in the<br />
United States. From the formation of Perth Amboy Township in 1693 there was no<br />
county designation until Burlington County formed in 1710.<br />
• Marriage: 22 Aug 1714, St. Peter's Parish Church, Perth Amboy, Burlington County,<br />
New Jersey. Marriage by visiting Mister Edward Vaughn, Rector of St. John's Church<br />
in Elizabeth City New Jersey.<br />
Noted events in her life were:<br />
• Information: 1691, Brugge, , Brabant, Belgium. Martha was the first child born to<br />
Edward and Susanna, she was born no later than September 1691. She was of legal age<br />
when she married Morgan <strong>Bryan</strong>, and for her to marry him without consent of guardian<br />
or parent, she had to be aged 18 years. Moreover, unless there was a large dowry paid<br />
to Martha's family, and she were not born until 1697 as purported by her family, in no<br />
way would the Strode family allowed her to marry a man more than twice her age.<br />
Besides, if she were born 1697 per the tombstone record of some fame held by the<br />
museum in Salisbury North Carolina, she would have been under age 18 when she<br />
married Morgan <strong>Bryan</strong>, and she could not have married without permission of her<br />
guardian.<br />

John Sr. (Capt.) 1 ) was born in 1722 in Chester County, Pennsylvania and died in 1792 in Madison<br />
County, Kentucky at age 70.<br />
Eleanor married William Linville, son of John Linville Sr. and Anne Hendricks.<br />
William was born in 1718 in Stafford County, Virginia and died in Jul 1766 in Linville Falls,<br />
Rowan, North Carolina at age 48.<br />
Noted events in his life were:<br />
• He died in 1766 in Linville Falls, Rowan County, North Carolina. William and his son<br />
John were killed by Native Americans at the Falls of a river, and the falls were named<br />
after the Linville family.<br />
---------------<br />
"Two men named Linville from the forks of the Yadkin went to hunt on the Watauga<br />
River between 1760 and 1770. They employed John Williams, a lad of sixteen, to go<br />
with them, keep camp and cook for them. They were sleeping in the camp when the<br />
Indians came on them and killed the Linvilles. They "shot Williams through the thigh,"<br />
but he escaped and rode a horse from the mouth of the Watauga "Hollows in Surry" in<br />
five days. He recovered from his wound and became a man of influence.<br />
It is now almost certain that these falls have taken their name from these two men, who<br />
may have visited them before their last hunt and told the people of their location and<br />
beauty, for Dr. Draper (note, p. 183) records that the stream itself was named from the<br />
fact that in the "latter part of the summer of 1766 William Linville, his son and a young<br />
man had gone from the lower Yadkin to this river to hunt, where they were surprised by<br />
a party of Indians, the two Linvilles killed, the other person, though badly wounded,<br />
effecting his escape.<br />
The Linvilles were related to the famous Daniel Boone.<br />
" It is a matter of record that a family by the name of Linvil---probably an economic<br />
way of spelling Linville---were members of Three Forks Baptist Church and lived on<br />
what is now known as Dog Skin Creek, or branch, but which stream used to be called<br />
72
Linville Creek. The membership of that church shows that Abraham, Catharine and<br />
Margaret Linvil were members between 1790 and 1800, while the minutes show that on<br />
the second Saturday in June, 1799, when the Three Forks Church were holding a<br />
meeting at Cove Creek, just prior to giving that community a church of its own,<br />
Abraham Linvil was received by experience, and in July following, at the same place,<br />
Catharine and Margaret Linvil also were so received. Several of the older residents of<br />
Dog Skin, Brushy Fork and Cove Creek confirms the<br />
reality of the residence of the Linville family in that community.<br />
In September, 1799, Brother Vanderpool's petition for a constitution at Cove Creek was<br />
granted, Catherine Linvil having been granted her letter of dismission the previous<br />
August.<br />

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

Jonathan purchased a plantation in Culpeper County, and it was overseen by John when<br />
Jonathan was at sea. Besides his mariner profession, Jonathan was a merchant. When<br />
his son William married Letty Asher and was aged 21, Jonathan deeded the Culpeper<br />
plantation to him, before removing to North Carolina with their youngest son, Francis.<br />

Topics:<br />
• Information: 1742, Kinglassie, , Fife, Scotland. Jane was the daughter of mariner and<br />
merchant David Page and his wife, Jane Warren. Her parent's married somewhere in<br />
New England in the early 1720s. David was born in either Belgium or Jamaica as his<br />
father held property in both places, but lived in Strood. David owned a large manor at<br />
Kinglassie, which is located across the bay from Edinburgh, and about twenty miles due<br />
north. He was the only son but had eight or nine sisters, and was heir apparent. The<br />
family held property at Strood, Boston, Bergen New Jersey, Brugge, Jamaica,<br />
plantations at St. James Barbados, St. Nevis, and Charleston South Carolina. Jane's<br />
youngest brother David firmly entrenched the family in South Carolina before the<br />
Revolution, and the majority of the Page family all came to America, and so far as we<br />
can prove retained no holdings in England, Ireland or Scotland. This Page family<br />
established in South Carolina no later than September 8, 1679 when her father David's<br />
grandfather, William obtained the first South Carolina Land Grant located on the<br />
Ashley River (proof included). At that time there were but one governing entity in<br />
South Carolina based in Charleston. The first division of authority would not take place<br />
until May 10, 1682 when three administrative districts were created, Colleton, Berkeley<br />
and Craven. This particular Page family is the same branch as that of Francis Page,<br />
immigrant, of the Middle Plantation in Virginia 1627.<br />
Jane's brother, John Page Esq., obtained a patent of 2634 acres in Halifax County<br />
Virginia February 16, 1771. He removed to Madison County Kentucky very early and<br />
well before 1795 gave the Halifax property to Jane. Her brother was active in setting<br />
82
up the Kentucky government system.<br />
79. Capt. John <strong>Bryan</strong> (Jonathan (Capt.) 5 , Joseph Sr. 4 , John 3 , William (Capt.) 2 ,<br />
John Sr. (Capt.) 1 ) was born in 1735 in Bertie Precinct, North Carolina and died on 12 Mar 1782 in<br />
Rowan County, North Carolina at age 47.<br />
Noted events in his life were:<br />
• Information: 1729, Bertie Precinct, North Carolina. This man was a Militia Captain<br />
during the Revolution. He and his troops fought the battle at Guilford Courthouse<br />
March 15, 1781 , a most horrid and wholly gruesome affair; he should be viewed<br />
historically as a Revolutionary Hero, but for whatever reasons, that is not the case.<br />
• He died on 12 Mar 1782 in Rowan County, North Carolina. Capt. John <strong>Bryan</strong> was shot<br />
and killed by Colonel David Fanning March 12, 1782. Fanning was a Tory, and heavily<br />
involved in several North and South Carolina Battles. Fanning ordered <strong>Bryan</strong>'s home to<br />
be burned, after the fire was set and <strong>Bryan</strong> resisted, Fanning and one of his men shot<br />
and killed <strong>Bryan</strong>. David Fanning was born 1754 in Rowan County North Carolina. Both<br />
men were involved at the Battle of Guilford Courthouse March 15, 1781.<br />

<strong>Bryan</strong>, John, Capt. N. C. Militia; killed at his home by Tories Mch. 12, 1782.<br />
• Postscript: 24 Jun 1790, Long Beach, King's County, New Brunswick, Canada.<br />
Historically the event that took place March 12, 1782 should not have happened, for<br />
Cornwallis had surrendered to George Washington on October 19, 1781 at Yorktown<br />
but it took a while for the news to travel, and another personal family tragedy involving<br />
war was recorded in the history books.<br />
After Fanning killed John <strong>Bryan</strong>, David Fanning went to Chatham County where he<br />
married Sarah Carr April 25, 1782, and thence fled to Canada where he died March<br />
14, 1825 Digby County in Nova Scotia. He recorded in his journal about the murder of<br />
Capt. John <strong>Bryan</strong>. That record follows, verbatim as David Fanning wrote it:<br />
. . . . "About the 7 th March 1782 Capt. Walker and Currie, of the Loyal Militia fell<br />
in, with a party of Rebels, and came to an engagement, and fired for some time, 'till the<br />
rebels had fired all their ammunition; and then, wished to come to terms of peace<br />
between each party; and no plundering, killing or murdering should be committed by<br />
either party or side; which was concluded upon by each Colonel, for such certain<br />
limited bounds; which was to be agreed upon by each Col.; and if they could not agree,<br />
each party was to remain neutral until matters was made known, respecting the term<br />
which they had to agree upon. Soon after my men came to me and informed what<br />
they had done; we received the rebel Col. Balfour's answer; 'there was a resting place<br />
for a Tory's foot upon the Earth.' He also immediately sent out his party, and on the<br />
10 th , I saw the same company coming to a certain house where we were fiddling<br />
and dancing. We immediately prepared ourselves in readiness to receive them, , their<br />
number being 27 and our number only seven; We immediately mounted our horses, and<br />
went some little distance from the house, and commenced a fire, for some considerable<br />
time; night coming on they retreated and left the ground. Some time before, while, we<br />
were treating with each other, I had ordered and collected twenty-five men to have a<br />
certain dress made which was linen frocks, died black, with red cuffs, red elbows, and<br />
83
ed shoulder cape also, and belted with scarlet, all fringed with white fringe, and on the<br />
12 th of March, my men being all properly equipped, assembled together, in order,<br />
to give them a small scourge, which we set out for. On Balfour's plantation, we came<br />
upon him, he endeavored to make his escape; but we soon prevented him, fired at him,<br />
and wounded him. The first ball he received was through one of his arms, and ranged<br />
through his body; the other through his neck; which put an end to his committing any<br />
more ill deeds. We also wounded another of his men. We then proceeded to their<br />
Colonel's (Collier) belonging to said county of Randolph; on our way we burnt several<br />
rebel houses, and catched several prisoners; the night coming on and the distance to<br />
said Collier's was so far, that it was late before we got there. He made his escape,<br />
having received three balls through his shirt. But I took care to destroy the whole of<br />
his plantation. I then pursued our route, and came to one Capt. John <strong>Bryan</strong>'s, another<br />
rebel officer. I told him if he would come out of the house, I would give him a parole;<br />
which he refused, saying that he had taken parole from Lord Cornwallis, swearing 'by<br />
God! He had broken that and he would also break our Tory parole. With that I<br />
immediately ordered the house to be set on fire, which was instantly done. As soon as<br />
he saw the flames of the fire, increasing, he called out to me, and desired me to spare<br />
his house, for his wife and children's sake, and he would walk out with his arms in his<br />
hands. I immediately answered him, that if he walked out, that his house should be<br />
saved, for his wife and children. When he came out, he said 'Here, damn you, here I<br />
am.' With that he received two balls through his body: He came out with his gun<br />
cocked, and sword at the same time."<br />

Events in North Carolina from 1775 to 1783, King's County, Long Beach, New<br />
Brunswick, Canada, June 24th 1790:<br />
The following:extracted from: The Narrative of Colonel David Fanning, Edited by<br />
Thomas H. Wynne, the secretary of the VA Historical Society<br />
"His grandfather, <strong>Bryan</strong> Fanning, was the first of the family to settle in the county, and<br />
his father, David, had moved his family to NC where he was drowned in the Deep<br />
River before his son was born. His widow remained in NC with her young daughter<br />
and new son, but the struggle was apparently to much for her. She succumbed in 1764,<br />
leaving her two children, Elizabeth and David, to be bound as orphans to guardians in<br />
Johnston County (the present Wake County). In later years David Fanning would claim<br />
his father's property in VA, two plantations totaling 1100 acres, but he never<br />
succeeded in securing his inheritance. In July 1764, the county court bound the nineyear-old<br />
Fanning to a guardian, Needham <strong>Bryan</strong>, Jr, a county justice, who at least<br />
fulfilled his obligation to educate the boy. Fanning was apprenticed to Thomas Leech<br />
who may have been a loom mechanic. In 1778 Fanning was reportedly working as a<br />
mechanic and loom builder in Chatham County, although he said nothing of his early<br />
life other that he was "farmer bred". Some insight on this period is provided by the folk<br />
traditions compiled by Eli W Caruthers in his history published in 1854. According to<br />
Caruthers, Fanning left his guardian because of harsh treatment and fled to Orange<br />
County where he was taken in by the John O' Daniel family. It was here that he was<br />
supposedly cured of scald head or tetter worm, an offensive scalp disease that left him<br />
bald. Thereafter he wore a silk skullcap. Another tradition from Caruthers is the<br />
widespread reputation that Fanning had as a youth of being a superb horseman and a<br />
84
tamer of wild horses."…<br />

• Information: 1734, (Oley MM) Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We did not intend to work<br />
descendants beyond the Immigrant family; however, for 275 years we have never seen<br />
this man's given name presented as he married Rebecca <strong>Bryan</strong>. The proof is in the<br />
Marriage Record, which is indexed Bride and Groom in Rowan County North Carolina<br />
archives, which were redone by North Carolina whereas the extant records are correct<br />
without doubt. Both Bride and Groom records are included in the Marriage Event for<br />
James Daniel Boone and his wife, Rebecca <strong>Bryan</strong>. So far as we can prove, this is the<br />
first James Boone born and named in this particular Boone family line since James, the<br />
son of George Boone and Sarah Mogridge. Then, of course, James Daniel Boone and<br />
his wife, Rebecca <strong>Bryan</strong>, named their first son ... James Boone.<br />
• He was born on 2 Nov 1734 in Oley, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. James Daniel<br />
Boone was born November 2, 1734, which converted to Gregorian date proves October<br />
22, 1734 as equates to today's calendar.<br />

Noted events in his life were:<br />
• <strong>Family</strong>: Hinton and other researchers, or descendants of this family did not compile an<br />
accurate or complete record for Josiah Boone II and his three wives. At considerable<br />
expenses, and time doing a complete historical record of these families, the record is<br />
now complete, and accurate based on the hard records that do exist.<br />
Josiah Boone II married first, Hannah Hite on December 17, 1781 Frederick County<br />
Virginia, and had the following children by her:<br />
1. George W. Boone - went to Indiana<br />
2. Leah Boone - died in Daviess County Kentucky<br />
3. Hannah Boone - died in Daviess County Kentucky<br />
4. Ruth Boone - died in Oldham County Kentucky<br />
Josiah settled their portion of his estate on them when they came of legal age or<br />
married, and were not involved in his final estate settlement after he died in November<br />
1825 in Shelby County Kentucky. The husbands of the three daughters took charge of<br />
Telethia and Charity Boone after Eleanor and Josiah died….<br />
Josiah Boone II married second, Persis Hinton by common law marriage in Frederick<br />
County Virginia in 1789. The Reverend John Sutton married Josiah and Persis August<br />
15, 1799, but there was no marriage license issued by the State of Kentucky that we<br />
could locate. By Persis Josiah had the following children: Josiah settled their portion of<br />
their estate when of age or marriage, and the four follow were not involved in their<br />
father's estate in 1826.<br />
93
5. Deborah Boone - died Sullivan County Indiana<br />
6. Josiah Boone III - died Sullivan County Indiana<br />
7. Persis Boone - died in Davis County Iowa<br />
8. Anna Y. Boone - died in Decatur County Indiana<br />
Josiah Boone II married third, Eleanor <strong>Bryan</strong>, widow of Ephraim Adams on December<br />
15, 1810 in Jefferson County Kentucky. Eleanor was the lastborn child and daughter of<br />
Joseph <strong>Bryan</strong> and his second wife, Alice Linville. She was named in her father's will,<br />
and Joseph proved his granddaughter Alyee Adams, and grandsons Noah, Jacob and<br />
Wilah (Joel) Adams, which is the order of their birth. By Eleanor Josiah Boone II had<br />
the following children:<br />
9. Telitha Boone<br />
10. Charity Boone<br />
• Chronology: 1727-1826, America. Chronology - Josiah Boone Sr. and his son Josiah<br />
Boone Jr.<br />
1. Josiah Boone Sr. born March 6, 1727 Philadelphia County Pennsylvania<br />
2.Josiah Boone Sr. married 1st Hannah Hinton before 30 May 1750 in Philadelphia<br />
County Pennsylvania<br />
3. Josiah Boone Sr. married 2nd Shawki Chirasha 1761 in Pennsylvania (obviously a<br />
Quaker lady as Josiah was in good standing with the Exeter Meeting when he asked for<br />
a letter of Removal to the Bradford Meeting (established 1737 in Chester County<br />
Pennsylvania) June 24, 1762.<br />
4. August 17, 1768 Josiah Boone Sr. living in Augusta County Virginia<br />
5. March 15, 1777 Josiah Boone Sr. sold property in Augusta County Virginia and was<br />
living in Shenandoah County Virginia when it formed February 1, 1778<br />
6. Son Josiah married Hannah Hite 17 Dec 1781 in Frederrick County Virginia<br />
7. Josiah Boone Sr. migrated to Kentucky in late 1786<br />
8. Hannah Hite died 1787 Shenandoah County Virginia<br />
9. Josiah Boone Jr. married Persis Hinton 1787 Shenandoah County Virginia and<br />
migrated to Kentucky shortly thereafter.<br />
10. Josiah Boone Sr. died 1814 Woodford County Kentucky<br />
11. Josiah Boone Jr. died before 1826 Shelby County Kentucky<br />
• Information: 1753, Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There is obvious conflation of the<br />
children of Josiah and his three wives, primarily because of the poor, non-existing, and<br />
now validated Confabulated documentation initiated by Hinton family researchers.<br />
Such things as purported marriage records that never existed, and the trend of that<br />
family to ... pretend ... to be descendants of a lady that never existed.<br />
<strong>Descendants</strong> of Josiah and his father prove both men in places they were not at<br />
various dates during their lifetimes, which proves troublesome for everyone. We found<br />
little evidence of actual physical locations reliably validated by researchers of these<br />
families excepting the proofs that we included in the records for this family.<br />
Lastly, Josiah Boone did not remove to Kentucky with his father where we proved<br />
them both living in Madison County Kentucky April 17, 1789 with a hard record that<br />
no researcher will overturn. We find no evidence that prior researchers have taken<br />
94
into account the various county formation dates in Kentucky.<br />
• Proof: 24 Jun 1762, Philadelphia County, Pennsylvania. From CD V1 #3130 - This CD<br />

Hinton <strong>Family</strong> Researchers, and includes the following data quoted per several<br />
disparate Hinton family researchers.<br />
"Shows that Josiah Boone Sr. died in Woodford County, Kentucky. Has information<br />
that he married Hannah HENTON, who was not a Quaker. He was condemned and<br />
removed from the religion on 24 June 1762. It also indicates that he was in the War of<br />
the Revolution, with the same information appearing in regard to his son Josiah Boone,<br />
Jr."<br />

transferred by deed property in Shelby County Kentucky dated 1802 - The deed does<br />
not prove signatures - Per the following research note from the Kentucky researcher.<br />
-----------<br />
Dear Mr. White:<br />
I have checked the Shelby County, Ky. Deed records for 1801-1808. I only found one<br />
deed for Josiah and Percis Boone. It was between the Boone's and Isham Talbott in<br />
1802. It does not show their signatures or marks; it looks like it was signed by the<br />
person who wrote the deed. I will be glad to send you a photocopy of the deed if you<br />
will send me your street address; and $15 for research, copies, and postage.<br />
I also checked the Shelby County Wills but did not find any records for Josiah or Percis.<br />
A Shelby County marriage abstract book shows a Pearcis Boone, daughter of Isaiah<br />
Boone, who married Abner Stark in 1811; but no marriage for Josiah and Percis.<br />
If I can be of any further assistance please let me know.<br />
Happy Holidays,<br />

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