Bryon Family General Informationj HOWELL BOONE Boone Farm -Road Route 1 Box 365A Mocksville, NC 27028 TEL: (704) 492-5307 Mrs IDROS ROBERTS 22 April 1985 2588 Camino Del Rio Riviera, AZ 86442 Dear Mrs Roberts L' Recently I located a roll of microfilm of various records the late Register of Deeds of Rowan County decided to make more readable by typing copies; the microfilm was made by the Archives 1 in Raleigh. On page 4.92 of this typed material under the heading "old Taxables" there are nine Bryans listed as living in Captain Basil Gaither's District in 1784. What this record does is =locate a bunch of Bryans in the Forks of the Yadkin as the Revolutionary k. War comes to an end. �j I hate typed a copy of the Bryan listings because the copy the machine made is muddy, to say the least. I have also in brackets conjectured that Elizabeth Bryan is the widow of John Bryan (Sr) and Sarah Bryan is the widow of Thomas Bryan. The presence of all these Bryans - still in the Forks of the Yadkin - belies the "legend" that the Bryans all fled to Kentucky because of local hostility to the Tory Bryans. It is possible that the Bryan, Sam! listed is the "notorious Tory", although he could be another of that name in the large Bryan cont tngentthat were still in North Carolina after the American Revolution has 'ended. When researchers were making copies of the Morgan Bryan (SR) will in the 1920's I feel certain that it was in much better shape than when I saw it in 1978. The enclosed "as is" copy shows the will as it,*was when it finally made it to the film copying machine. There' is more on this precious roll of microfilm, and you will be sent all items dealing with each and every Bryan. With warm regards and best wishes, AAVIE CO.

NO I'm sure that at some time or other you have seen one of the red letter New Testaments - with evey word said to have been spoken by Jesus in red. What is in black, he did not say. For me genealogy is just like that: what is documented is in red, the conjecture, guesses, immaginings are in black. (1) Anson County Records: Since the county was first formed, there have been THREE devastating fires - for all purposes, there are no extant early Anson County records. We may conjecture that there were grants to Morgan & other Bryans during the Anson County epoch thataU lost forever -gone up in smoke. Conjectures are not documents. (2) Morgan and Martha's offspring: I have sent you a conjecture which gives this couple 11 children. Admittedly not all of these. eleven are named in Morgan Bryan's will. You are aware that many parents have issued wills which for whatever reason do not name all of their children. The un -named children are NOT DOCUMENTED. (3) John Bryan�A)In his famous "Narrative" Col David Fannig, Tory Extraordinaare identifes one of hisrlvictim,�s as Capt John Bryan. Lindley S Butler identifies this individual as one JOHN BRYANT of Randolph County. The question of couty (Randolph -Rowan) aside, the name is BRYANT not Bryan. Shall I attempt to contact Professor %,YButler and request an extended explanation of his identification of bryant not `B`ryan? 4� (4) Battle Family: The only "local mention" of Battle is in nearby Yadkin County, there is a Battle Creek - named after a battle which occurred there during the War. (c) A conjecture: John Bryant is John Bryan, who changed his name, adding the T to distinguish himself from the Tory part of his Bryan family, he maintained in Randotph County that he had no relationship to the Bryans of Rowan County. [ I also have a "wonderful" conjecture on the assasination of John F Kennedy, where Oswald, furious at Marina intended to kill Jackie and not Jackj nwe CU. PUSS 9"o MOGKSVUL .

Sunday, May 1, 1927 The Lexington-Heral.&a THE BRYAN.FAY ILIES OF FAYETTE AND ADJOINING COUNTIES Editor's Note: This is the seventh of a series of articles .prepared through-extensive research by Mr. J. R. Cooper con- cerning the Bryan families and their history. Other articles by Mr. Cooper will be published in THE HERALD from-time to time. a 43. Sarah Bryan, born Sept. 1, 1770; married irr,1786 or 7 James Grimes.. He was the son of Philip Grimes (Will book B-52- Fayette Co.) who died in 1809 leaving- seven sons ------------ dauxhters. James Grimes died about 1828 (see Will book H-p441.)Sarah survived until 1855 Their children were fourth generation; John Grimes, 131; 132 Nancy Grimes; 133 James Grimes; 134 William:Grimes; 135 Mary Grimes; 136 Elizabeth Grimes; 137 Phebe Grimes; 138 Pamelia Grimes; 139 Sally Grimes; 140 Melinda Grimes; 141 Caroline Grimes; 142 Lewis Grimes. In the "Boone Family Book," Sarah Bryan:; daughter of William Bryan and Mary Boone is listed as having married Col. William Chiarr- and having died in 1829. All evidence collected seems to be oppos ed to that statement. Draper ms. 22-C-19 dated June 4. 1846,. recites: "As to the date of birth-of my grandfather, Daniel Bryan, I do not know, but con- clude that his sister Sally Grimes living near Athens, Fayette county, or diect to Lewis Grimes her son, that information can be obtained." She is a plain lady of good sense and recollection." Draper mss. 22-C-23 Letter dated Dec. 14, 1860. Joseph Bryan living near Lexington, to Draper: Replies.to questions of Draper. "Has your father any brothers or sisters living?" I never knew but one of his brothers, that was Samuel, there were several others who died at Bryan's station, before my - recollection. Samuel, my uncle moved when old to Indiana. My father had several sisters,"Betty who married Joseph Dehart, Sally who married James Grimes, etc. There are other statements Made by the descendants of James Grimes and Sarah Bryan which will appear later. James Grimes beaan-at an early date to buy lands in the vicinity of Athens, Fayette county. His home was located on his farm be- �, tween.B6onesboro road and Boggs Fork meeting house.. Here he lived until his death in-.1829. In his will he mentions all of his ci v children, also children-of his deceased son, John, who were Mary.; B:. .�� Grimes and Sarah Bryan.-Grimes, Leonidas Grimes and George G'..Grimes. c � :3 c.Q 45. Elizabeth Bryan married Joseph Dehart. Their home was in • northern part of the state probably in Pendletom-county. Jacob Boone's wife was a Dehart and his sister, Caroline, married first a Dehart, and second, James Ingles. The Deharts were from penn- sylvania. We have no further information as to Elizabeth Bryan Dehart. 46. Mary Bryan, daughter of William Bryan, and Mary Boone, was harried December 1?96 to Joseph Ingles, son of Janes Ingles and The Bryan Families of Fayette and Adjoining Counties - page 2 Caroline Boone Dehart-Inales of Harrison county, Ky. Joseph Inales' will is shown in Bk. B'. p378 Harrison county,*Ky. Proved July term, 18239 mentions wife, Mary, and their�10-:children. Fourth•,generation: 153 Mary Incrles, 154 Elizabeth Ingles, 157' --Catherine Ingles, 158 Louisa Ingles, 159 James Ingles, 160 John Ingles, 161 Bryan Ingles, 162 Joseph Ingles, Executors, his wife, Mary, and son,' John. James Bryan.; Sr., the eighth child of Morgan Bryan --and Martha Stode, settled in that part of Fayette county which is now Jessamine county. A family tree of the Bryan family was complied by Dr.John Dani el�, Bryan, a great grandson of James Bryan, Sr., a copy of which has lately been forwarded to me, through the courtesy of Mr. Jesse P. Crump, of Kansas City, Mo. In order to be fair to all of the Bryans we copy the list as shown by him. He heads the list with, "believed to be William Bryan, who married a girl believed to be Sarah Bunger. These were the parents of Morgan Bryan, b. 1671. Married Martha Strode b. 1700, married 1719, Morgan died 1763. Martha d. 1747 (other children of William and Sarah were) John William, Daniel and others.not known who they married, but it is known all these came to America. The list of Morgan's children follows: Joseph, born about 1720, scar. Hester Simpson; Samuel, born about 1721, Tory colonel in Revolution; James Bryan, born a1723, mar. 1756 Rebecca Enocks,she died 1768; John Bryan, born about 1725, mar. 1780 Frances Battle, he died 1780; Morgan Bryan, born about 172?, mar. Maximilla Simpson; Elinor Bryan, born about 17299 mar. William -Linville; Mary, born about 1729, married Forbis; William, born 3-73-1733; married March 1755, Mary Boone; Thomas, bornr1725, died 1790; Rebecca, born 173?, died 3-18-1813, married Daniel Boone; Sarah, born 1?39, nothinsr known of her. Note. The wife's name for both -Joseph and Morgan are probably erroneous. Rebecca and Sarah were not children of MorganBryanr: and Martha Strode.) This is followed with James Bryan, Sr.'s children: Third gen- eration: 47. David, born 11-22-1757; married Mary Poor, (Power), 17191.- 48. 791.48. Jonathan, born 7-15-1759; died 8-10-1846.

Morgan Bryan's will is now a tattered fragment. What can be read makes no mention of either Sarah or Rebecca. Still, local tra- dition identifies them as two of Morgan Bryan's four daughters. There is no Rowan County marriage Bond for the marriage of Sarah Bryan, but for that matter, there is no marriage bond for the marriage of Rebecca Bryan and' Daniel Boone(performed 14 AUG 1756). I am flying to Florida 15 February 1983 for a month of warmer. weather. When I return I will research this matter further, but there is no documented marriage of Sarah Bryan and no mention in other documents that establishes Sarah Bryan as a daughter of either Morgan Bryan (sr) or his son Joseph Bryan.

HOWELL BOONE Boone Farm Road Route 1 Box 365A Mocksville,NC 27028 TEL: (704) 492-5307 O1 November 1983 Enclosed is my "roster" of the children of Morgan (Sr) and Martha (Strode) Bryan. I regard all the dates as prvisional; the names are now "accepted" as those of their children. Sarah Bryan who married Samuel Bailey in Rowan County, North Carolina is buried with her husband in the Old Heidelberg Cemetery (Evangelical Lutheran) near Dutchman's Creek in present-day Davie County. The name is spelled "Baly" on their tombstones. Rebecca Bryan, who married John Boone is assumed to have been buried along side her husband in Joppa Cemetery, in present-day Davie County, North Carolina - which is where John Boone's Uncle and Aunt, Squire and Sarah (Morgan) Boone are also buried. There is no extant marriage bond for either of these couples, and only the first names of these wives appear on documents of that era - deeds of land, wills and estate records. There is no Family Bible which has sur- vived to the present day that records either of these marriages. I have written Mrs Mead that the BRYAN FAMILY Records available in the Davie County Public Library History and Genealogy Room are incomplete and inadequate. There seem to have been scores of Bryans in this area - the "Forks of the Yadkin" Rowan (now Davie & Yadkin) County, North Carolina. No one kept tract of them in those early days, and it is nearly impossible to identify all of those early Bryans in these days. Indeed, in 1983 there is still no certainty as to the mother of Rebecca Bryan who married Daniel Boone; Joseph Bryan(Sr)'s first wife was either a Hester Hampton or Esther Simpson or Esther Hampton or Hester Simpson. Joseph Bryan (Jr) is always described as a child of this first wife. It is possiblethat she was also the mother of Rebecca (Bryan) Boone - dying in childbirth or shortly thereafter. Joseph Bryan (Sr) seems to have remarried swiftly and his second wife can be identified as "Aylee". There are those who assume this is Alice Linville sister of William Linville who married Joseph Bryan (Sr)'s sister Eleanor Bryan. There is no surviving marriage bond or Family Bible which can document these suppositions. There are no documents for the marriages of Joseph Bryan (Sr)'s brothers and sisters. There is a good deal of Forbes/Forbis/Forbus(h) material available in Rowan County records; ie James is identified as the son of George and 011y. There is no extant Rowan County marriage bond for his marriage to Hannah. She might have been one of the nearly dozen Bryan girls in the Forks of the Yadkin, she might also have been a Linville, a Hughes, a Davis, a Jones or an unknown. Should you be able to locate the maiden name of Mrs Hannah Forbis please provide us with this information. kaoA Sincerely yours, i KATHARINE STSCUART 19 LA RANCHERIA CARMEL VALLEY, CALIFORNIA 93924 Oct. 22, 1953 Dear Mr. Boone, I received your Boone lineage from Mrs. Mead of Nice, California in answer to my question about the possibility of Morgan and Martha Strode Bryan having; a daughter Hannah. I descend from James and Hannah Forbis. James Forbis is the brother of Mary Forbis, wife of Morgan Bryan, Jr. and the father of James Forbis who married Phebe Bryan. It has been suggested that this Hannah was a Bryan, and since her probable birth was about 1737 it would fit with Morpan and Martha Bryan's children. I have newer found it listed, but then every source seemed to have a different few names at the bottom. Can you tell me the source of the information about Rebecca Bryan, who married John Boone and Sarah Bryan who married Samuel Bailey? I have it that if there was a Sarah she married Francis Puisan: I would very much appreciate any hints you can give me. Sincerely, Iq Davie Go.puaiic Li4rary 0 Mocksuii{e, N.

CL a �- C+ C. r° s ro 7pril 6, 1985 Dear Howell; I have not written to thank you for the material you sent last, all deeply appreciated, and I have made copied and,sent the originals on to_John K. He is busy writing the saga of the Bryans, and I think putting the cart before the horse. He needs much more information , and should have spent the time doing research now, instead of making corrections after it is written. - He is a good historian, and a good narrator, but he slights the facts sometimes. He has written and rewritten about 40 pages about 3 times. A nice story, but when �_ gtes to the grandchildren he has many errors. Dr Kerns tells him that he has the re- mainder of the year to complete his article for use in the new volumes he plans to publish next year. I agree with Miss Flossie that we need documentation, but in most cases it is n�t available. As you said they were not too good with the pen, they left too few records, and their descendants have been busy for many years making records from tradition, or the recollections of people who never knew much about the family! It is simply appalling the amount of misinformation that has been published! AM it seems to me that well reasoned.well researched conjectures are a great improvement over tie hogwash which is in circulation. Someone starting now to trace a line to M&M could use their time to better advantage on some other ancestor. There is the prevalent assumption that if a record is old, it should be accurate! We have no records which are old enought It was 100 years too late beginning. There were a group of us here all experienced searchers, and if we had cooperated, it seemed to me that we might have writteb a sort of manual for a beginner on the search. We do have proof for much of the story; we no longer think that Martha died in 1747 in Va. or that Rebecca Boone was a daughter, nor that MM were devoted Quakers. We no longer believe that James was 3rd son and was on Washington's staff during the Rev. or that Thomas was a surgeon for 3 years in Colonial forces, during the Revolution! Nor that the son John was a Whig Capt nad killed by Fanning. Yet Dr Kerns sent us the history of the family showing these things, and intended to publish them in his bookss saying this is the best thing he has been able to find! He has said he will be happy to have John's story, subject to his editing. I suggest that that goes double, if John does not approve of the editing, no got I am a good detective, and I have spent an unbelievable number of hours on Bryans for the past'2 years. If you and Miss Flossie and John hnd worked with me, we might have solved a lot of puzzles. I am handicapped by isolation, but you two have so may • records available. What you have xeroxed and sent has been invaluable, but there is much more to bee explored, and I am through, tho it breaks d xp � g my heart to Quit. Myinjured hip gets no better, the only alternative is a replacement with the artificial joint and I am too old and too weak. I walk only a few steps in pain. It seems that I will not be able to return to my home. I have a goodsized study filled '::"tt with files and boxes of records on some dozen families - my daughter has no room for Cli all this. We live next door and they take me in a wheel chair to work for an hour or so at home now and then. and I ahve a card table set up here with 2 TV tables, trays. I am trying to get some of the unfinished work that I have on hand completed. c,,b You will recall the 3 estates which were in court in August 1781. Two Johns and James. The records for James - you sent photocopty of one page almost illegible, we do not positively identify him, the son of Morgan Jr or of Col. Sam. I . now have the doCum-7b-: ,_ '^ �g entation which Miss Flossie wants. He was the son of Morgan Jr and evidently married ,o to Ann Hunt. Look in the Linn Abstracts for proof. I had a Texas genealogist check at the Dallas Library. She did not make photocopy of this page, but sopied exact she � says. s- Pages 133-134, Aug 6,1785 James Bryan estate, Wilson Hunt ZMA Adm. settles, and C) after debts are paid he has 34 pounds left DAVIE CO. PUBMUBRARy '� NIOCKSVILLE,r NO ;il and he pays them to Morgan Bryan, who is guardian of the children of the deceased - James. And at the same court Morgan Bryan is made guardian of Sarah, Morgan and James orphans of his son James. August 1785, and his surety was Wilson Hunt. John K found the record that Sarah and Morgan were baptized at Timber Ridge, you could find no Sarah, but John did not know who they were, and would not invent an extra one,it must be there somewhere. He said some of the record was in bad condition. v FSarah, dt of James and Ann Bryant Born June 21, 1772 baptised Morgan, son of James and Ann Bryant b Jan 15, 1774. baptised. There were several Bbyan—Hunt marriages, and natural that the Hunts would take charge of affairs for a daughter when James died. No documentation, but obvious $ that Ann was a Hunt, probably a daughter of Wildon. U + d I was sorry that you found no Battle family in old Rowan. You have the book of Carolina Ancestory, in which people contribute small sketches of an ancestor. Do, please check the index of this, for any Battle name. However the fact that Willm Battle was a Tory is interesting, he agreed with the Bryansl Maybe he was related to Elizabeth Frances? I hope they didn't hang him. And I keep having thoughts about the Whig Capt John whom Fanning killed. Now, this is. mainly conjecture, I admit. John K was positive from the first we began work, that the John Bryan, wife Sarah, and whose chidlren married Ortens, was the con of M&M, and so I have worked with that idea. I have the best record of him of any othe r child of M&M with the exception of James, whose family have good records of the descendants of James, children Nearly all of John and Sarah eftamarriage bonds, and often he signed as father. He left a will naming all his children, living and dead. See the Family Chart which I sent to you. But lately as one thing after another came up, I have begun to doubt. I wrote John recently, and expressed my doubt that he was a son of Old Morgan, saying that sometimes in the night, I worried about it, could we be wrong? He reolied, just across the bottom of the letter, that he too sometimes has "night thoughts." I am about to say that I think Elizabeth Battle did marry John, son of Morgan, and that they lived right there among the brothers. And none of them had any connection with the Whig Capt. He was another, like Thomas being a surgeon, and James a Whig officer. It all came about whenthe ladies began searching for relatives who served in the war, to make them eligible for DAR. A book of names of Rev soldiers does show a Thomas Bryan as a surgeon., there were a lot of Aryans served, no connection of our Morganl I will try to ryake a separate sheet for this, as easier to work from. Some time ago I wrote you - I thinkl - about the will of Morgan Bryan Sr. You had told me that you have a xerox of the will make in recent years, please send me a cojj X11o£ this, and tell me about the signature of the one signer as witness. I have 3 different versions of the will, and they tell me it is almost illegible now. Dr Derne wants to use a copy, but the one he has is gatbled, lets try to get a correct one for him to use in his book. Mainly it seems there are one or two lines which have been partly illegible for years, and translated a bit different by different typists. Also the one name of .� the s;6r r is variously translated. aN One will shows Anthony Heaverloe the other Anthony Bravelor o v Since the other 2 signers are Morgan Jr and Mary Forbis, relatives, I am guessing V0 that Anthony ? was the man who wrote the will, perhaps an official of some w sort, or maybe a lawyer. Do you and Miss Flossie identify him? I would like to have the name correct. The garbled line about the breeding mare is, eA breeding mare, Viz: proven Dent, a her yearling, and her colt." I believe. Compzre the 2 I am sending with your copy do you agree? Whether the cow was Josey or Poppy, is of little matter, it is still sensible sounding. Will Onday, April 1.5 185 I have gathered up a few things which I hope may be useful on the Bryans. I am sad that I can do no. mosgr but seems that this is it. My eyes are failing veal fast and my typing is worse each day it seems. I was contemplating surgery for cataracts before I fell. So, I have had the examination, but cataracts wire not the only problem. They found some degeneratio n of the retina, I am scheftlea for ourgert on ikyjst, but they tell me I will be disappointed, though sane re3A4 from r4okoval of *the cataract. I hope'that you .vM- work with Joba and t 't° you will ooze up with some improe- meat on the Bryan raaords as they stand. Xiqb:VUssie met bin when he was rin Mocks - wine, He says she axid Jim Wall took him Nr -& drive and shbwed him marq of the old places. He is a deli.ghtf+xl correspondent, if you can get him -to write!. Without him I could not devinitely have proved my descend from Morgan Jr, tho I knew It had to be some of the sosn of Morgan and Martha. Make a little booklet with some of the records which wo have proved - and dis- proved. No uns'each searcher going through all the old errors. All good withes, Next day; Reading over this preparing to mail. I think I have expressed myself poorly. I did not mean to say that you and Miss Flossie refused to help - just that you did not give us the help we hoped for, personal help on the "conjectures." John and I agreed at the first that no one would feel hurt at criticism. One of us came up with an idea, and projected it. The other might explain why this could not be trae, or give; some objections. We chewed it back and forth. Sometimes one re-- me�abered a fact the other had forgotten, „ I have found that 2 or 3 dedicated people can accomplish far more than the best of the .professional genies. I longed for Miss Flossie to gid thI: ' top ptiority fro awhile, she would know , places to look, things to check th TU4. 64AAMn things. I read everything that you sent from the new books which I had xtevar'. seen. I found the extra Linville ehild in the Surrey County Deed Abstracts as ictsoe. So, again, I can only say thank ymO kor the materials that you hunted for us. But it seems tragic to me that so many of the granddhildftn are still wt identified, or wrongly so.

GEORGE W,) With additions and references by Mary Johnson MoElhiney Published posthumouSly by: EDNA McELHINEY OLSON Edited by: Emma Ruckman Porter Gertrude Pfeiffer Johnson COPYRIGHT ! 1970 A. 14. OLSON Dear Mr. Boone Ever so many thanks for your letter and the check to you since I wanted to write third attempt to write it since Friday. March 26, 1984 its contents. Am sending anyway. This is the I placed an ad in the.DAR magazine inquiring about Boones and Whitaker. I did not know the names of Mark Whitaker's parents but I believe I have it now. I've had quite a few letters on Bryan/Boone. It is interesting to note how many people came to Pennsylvania and then down the 'trail'.My Sherrill ancesters did that. The family originated with Wm. Sherrill b. 1680 in Plymouth England. Adam b. 1700 Pa; d. 1774 in Tryon County. They.were in Augusta County, Va., long enough for the two oldest sons, Samuel, Adam, Jr. and William to serve in the Virginia militia. I don't know when they came to N.C. but they served in N. C. militia in the war. I joined the DAR in 1956 on Wm. Sherrill's record. I told a woman in Plymouth that I had an ancestor who had come from there; she asked who it was, and then she said, "Oh yes, Thomas Sherrill was mayor of Plymouth in 1608 and elected to Parliament in 1614." It does not seem too unreasonable to believe that Rebecca Boone was a Bryan when you consider how many children they had in those days, but I wish she had let us know in her will or something. Rebecca Whitaker was born in Rowan County. They went to Fayette county, Ky., where she married Nicholas Hoffman•Izard, b. Cape May, N. J. Both the Izard and Hoffman (Swede Hopman) lines are interesting. We found land which formerly belonged to Michael Izard in the heart of Chester, Pa., still natural - in the raw.. Obviously the town grew up around it. We walked some distance over it. I once had a friend, Mrs. Austin Bryan who wrote a book on the Bryan/Austin family. It originated with Moses Austin, b. in Conn. m. Maria Brown of Philadelphia. Moses became quite wealthy. They had three children whom they educated in prestigious schools. The names were Stephen F. Austin (father of Texas), James Brown Austin and Emily Margaret. In 1895 Emily was born and at 16 she married James Bryan age 22 bf Philadelphia. They married in Missouri how- ever where Moses Austin owned lead mines. I wonder who James Bryan born in 1789 was. They left three sons, born in Texas: Wm. Joel, Guy Morrison and Moses Austin Bryan. If you or anyone should wish mentioned I would be glad to on John Wright family, came county, Virginia. Thanks again. , information on the families I have furnish it.

Thank you so much for the information on Squire Boone, Sr. and Morgan Bryan, Sr. Your ancestor Benjamin Boone (1760-1836) married Mary Wilson (1765-1823). Mary Wilson is the sister of the James Wilson I am seeking information on. I think he married Hannah Bryan, daughter of William and Mary (Boone) Bryan. I am endeavoring to prove that James and Hannah (Bryan) Wilson were -the parents of William Hamilton Wilson,(b. 7 June 1807, d. Aug. ].870) in order to join the DAR. I would be joining through William Bryan and this is the only link that I can not prove. If you have any more information on this.James Wilson, b. 27 Nov. 1762, married Hannah Bryan 01 Sept. 1783, I will be happy to pay for xeroxing and postage costs. I do not know when or where James Wilson died. Hannah Wilson is buried in Eaton's graveyard, died 1808 but I can not prove that she was Hannah Bryan Wilson. I have recently joined the Davie County Genealogy Society and am a member of the Davidson County Genealogical Society. Perhaps if you do not have any more Wilson information, you could tell me of someone else interested in this or other Wilson lines. Are you a member of the Boone Society?

With all good wishes, 2588 Camino Del Rio Riviera.' Az. 86442 July 13, 1984 Mr James W Wall Mocksville, N.C. Dear Mr Wall: I write you, hoping that you will give me a bit of information on old Rowan County. I am a very old woman, longtime genealogical searcher, and presently I am working with John K. Bryan of Scotia, New York. Mr Bryan is a direct descendant of "Captain Billy Bryan's who was killed at Bryan Station in May 1784. Mr Bryan tells me that some years ago he visited Mocksville, and that you and Miss Flossie Martin gave him a wonderful tour of the old Dutchman's Creek area, location of the original Bryan Settlement. John and I have a problem. He is compiling a story - Biography - of Colonel Sam Bryan, the Tory. We -would both like to have more accurate records of the Morgan Bryan Clan. I descend from Morgan Jr, wife Mary Forbis--Forbush. Without going into detail, it has become important to know about -tax records. We have a record _Captain Jonathan Hunt's,. List of Taxable Persons, _ 1768, Rowan County, showing Samuel Bryan, Thomas Bryan, and John Bryan._& son.Johu. Since John Bryan, son of old Morgan was not old enough to have a son of 21 in 1768, I have assumed this is a Tithing List, and it is my rememberance that sons were tithed at 16 in Virginia., John's son John was born it is believed in U52, and would be 16 in 1768. They were processioning land in Rowan, so must have been paying tithes. However neither of us has read anything about the subject in Rowan County. Do you know? John is a very busy man, some 4 years before retirement, and has little time for research. -I try to carry the ball for present work. I have contacted two genealo- gists, read everything that is available to me in my small town, and nobody knows. I considered writing Archives and History, but from experience, I know it will be weeks before they reply. I am in my 91st year and my time is limited! Yet I want may Bryan records correct, and we hope to get at least typed manuscripts in the Mocksville and Salisbury libraries. I am not asking that you do research on this, but I.think that you must know about the tithing. I enclose SASE and will be deeply.grateful for a prompt reply. I have tried two other historians, and both are on vacation. I hope that you are taking yours latert t)avie County Public library Moohsville, NC Sincerely, Notes About MORGAN BRYAN And Some Of His Descendant/ -6 There are varying accounts of who the parents of MORGAN BRYAN were. One says his father was Francis Bryan III and his mother was Sarah Bringer (Brinker) and that they were married in Denmark, where Morgan was born ca 1671 (or 1687). Another version is that Morgan's father was a William Bryan. Whichever the father, the family returned to Ireland, where Morgan's brother William was born in 1685. There may have been other children - I have seen the names of Cornelius and David mentioned as possibilities but with no proof. Edward Bryan, a lineal descendant of Morgan and Martha Bryan, says that Mo igan Bryan came to Chester Co., Pa. in 1695 and married Martha Strode -here in 1719. It is said that Martha's mother died in Hol- land and her father died on the ship bringing him and his children to America ca 1703/4. The children of Morgan and Martha Bryan were, according to Edward Bryan; 1. 'JOSEPH - b. ca 1720 Chester Co. Pa. - see next * below 2.**Eleanor - b. ca 1822 Chester Co. Pa. - see** next below 3.

Kittredge Sime) 319 Forest Avenue , Shreveport, Louisiana George Boone was a weaver by trade and a Quaker by religion. He was born in 1666 in the hamlet of Stoak near Exeter in Devonshire, England. In his time, the Quakers were oppressed and George Boone therefore sought information of William Penn, his co -religionist, regarding the colony which Penn had established in America. In 1712 he sent his three children, George, Sarah and Squire to spy out the land. Sarah and Squire remained in Pennsylvania, while their brother, George, returned to England with glowing reports. *On August 179 1717, Gborge Boone, his wife and the rest of his children journeyed to Bristol and sailed for Philadelphia, arriving there on the 10th of October. The Boones went first to Abingdon, the Quaker farming community. Later, they moved to the northwestern frontier hamlet of North Wales, a Welsh community which a few years previously had turned.Quaker. (Ref. "Pioneers of the Old Southwest" bye Skinner, pp. 2425), George Boone+s wife was Mary.Milton Maugridge. (Ref. "The Boone Bulletin" and "The American Pioneer Records") Their children were: _ai��' DalV � 1. George - born 1690 harried Deborah Howell �. �� i� ti n , . L • 2.• Sarah - " ?

He left 8 children, 52 grandchildren and 10 great grandchildren, English, German, Welsh and a Scotch blended into one family of Americans. Among the Welsh Quakers was a family of Morgans. In 1720 Sa�u_ireR99ne, a son of George and Mary (Maugridge) Boone married Sarah Morgan. A Welsh American pioneer of note who came early to Pennsylvania was Edward Hg*gnp the grandfather of tiro great Americans, Daniel Boone of Kentucky, son of Squire and Sarah (Morgan) Boone and Gen. Daniel Morgan, according to Quaker records. (Ref. pg 22 "Boone Bulletin" and "American Pioneer Records% vol U. 1934-39) Every effort has been made to learn something of the ancestry of &e s:h Wore , wife of Sau,� Bootie but without appreciable results.- It is claimed, of course, that Sarahts father was Pward Morgan of Gevynedd, Philadelphia, Pennsyl- vania, and her marriage record shows that fact beyond all doubt. It is also reasonably certain that her brothers and sisters were the young Norgans, whose %L marriage records, like'her awn, state that they were children of Edward Morgan of J Gevynedd.. Beyond these facts, there is nothing authentic upon which to base any statement connecting Sarah (Morgan) Boone with any other Morgan family record.' (Ref. pg 542 Dorgan Family by ). In "Life of Gen. Daniel Morgan of the Virginia Line" by James Graham, we find, "It is interesting to know that these tiro famous fighters of the Revolutionary period, Daniel Morgan and Daniel Boone were = first cousins, but we have found no adequate proof of this connection". �y The marriage of Etlward_Morgan+s children into the great Welsh families 3 indicate that they, Daniel Boone and Gen& Daniel Morgan, are connected by blood. v Recorded marriages of•Edward Morgan's children are as follows: There might have been other children. 1710' Elisabeth Morgan Marrie4 Cadwallader Morris 2 1713 Margaret Morgan " Samuel Thomas " 1718 Daniel Dorgan Elizabeth Roberts 1720 Sarah Morgan (Born 1704) " Squire Boone 1721 John Morgan " Sarah Lloyd 1728 Joseph Morgan " Elizabeth Lloyd 1731 William Dorgan (widower) " Catherine Robinson J �• (Ref.

From "The Wars of Kentucke" by Daniel Boone: "My footsteps have been marked with blood. Two darling sons and a brother have I lost by savage hands. What thanks, ghat ardent and ceaseless thanks are due to that all superintending Providence which has turned a cruel war into peace. May the same Almighty Goodness banish the accursed monster, War, from all Undo." Note: Daniel Boone couldn't spell but certainly had full com- mand of the English language. (It is said that his parents spoke beautiful English) His expression of thoughts in -all of his letters is splendid. Many of his letters are now in the Congressional Library, Washington, D. C. At Boone's Station may be seen the rude limestone slabs erected by Boone himself on the graves of his brother, gftardp his son, Israel and his nephew, Thomas Boone, the two latter were victims of the 2d Battle of Blue Licks in 1782. Note: All descendants of Edward Boone are eligible for member- ship in the patriotic organizations, S. A. R. and D. A. R., because of his service rendered to his country in repulsing the British and Indians in the 1st Battle of Blue Licks. The children of Edward and Martha (Bryan) Boone were: Mary, who married Peter Scholl George Joseph Sarah, who married William Hunter J=, born September 18, 1762, married Worean Morgan, born September 10, 1760 Charity In "Abstracts of Early Wills and Inventories" by J. Estelle King, I found the following abstract notation: OAViE CO. PUBLIC UBRAV M.00KSVLLEa N BOOKE, BRYAN, MORGAN F' LIES - 4 ..

He was Justice for Rouen County, North Carolina.' This record establishes membership for Squire Boone's descendants in the Colonial Dames of America. Squire Boone enlarged his farm by thrift. He continued his trade of weaving and kept 5 or 6 looms going making homespun cloth for the market and neighbors. The Boones were prosperous and happy in 01ey and it may be wondered why they left their farms and looms, both of which were profitable, and set their faces toward the unknown. It is recorded that, though they were Quakers, they were of a high mettle and were not infrequently dealt with by the Meeting. Two of Squire Boonela children married "worldl.ings" - horn - Quakers - and were, in consequence, disowned by the Society of Friends. In defiance of his sect which strove to make him sever all connection with J his unruly offspring, Squire Boone refused to shut his door on the son and �clp�'daughter who had scandalised local Quakers. The Society of Friends there - 12 upon expelled him. This occurred, apparently, in the winter of 1748-49. In the spring of 1750 we see the whole Boone family (save two sons) with their wives and children, household goods and stock on the great highway bound for a land where the hot heart and belligerent spirit shall not be, held amiss. They moved from Pennsylvania to Row@ts Caunjy. Nnrth SA=C - �'�na. Squire Boone died in his 65th year in 1764 and was buried in Rc � County at the fork of Yadkin River about 10 miles above the fork on a place called Rurning Rigg; his wife, Sarah (Morgan) Boone died in her 72d year in 1776 and was buried beside hor husband.

She married Morgan Morgan, born September 10, 1760, died March 18,� 1835. (Ref. Family Bible) �a*�4 I have been unable to ascertain the blood relationship, if any, between Jane Boone and her husband, Morgan Morgan, because of lack of genealogical infor- mation on Morgan Morgan's family. However, I am of the opinion that there did exist a remote degree of blood relationship, because in my study of the various Morgan genealogies, I have observed that the earliest Morgan idmigrants to this country came from Pules and a great many of them settled in the Welsh community of Pennsylvania, as did Edward Morgan, grandfather of Jane Boone who was the wife of Morgan Morgan. From a manuscript which has long been preserved in our Morgan family re- cords, I obtained the following data: The Morgan family moved from Virginia to Kentucky and were among the first white settlers of that territory in about the year 1775 or 1780 and remained in Kentucky until 1800, then removed to the Spanish territory known as Louisiana and settled on Bluff Creek, now in the Parish of East Feliciana. The family that came from Kentucky to Louisiana were as follows: Two brothers, Morgan Morgan and John Morgan and two sisters, Sarah Morgan and Nancy Morgan. Morgan Morgan married Jane Boone by which marriage he left the following eight heirs, to wit: 1. 1711liam, who married; Jt Mary Vardell, daughter of John Vardell who migrated with the Morg9n family from Kentucky; JLJQlf� ?,•d, Name unknown;, , r.

Her grandfather, Morgan Bryan (born 1671 and no previous Morgan connection to indicate that he was given the name Morgan because of family ties) came to America in 1695 and here married Martha Strode in 1719, a descendant of Sir William Strode, one of the signers of the death warrant of King Charles I. From hKw brother came the great commoner, William Jennings Bryan. The father of Morgan Bryan was Francis Bryan III, who married Sarah Brinker, a cousin of the Prince of Orange, and his father was William Smith Bryan, son of Sir Francis Bryan II (born 1649) and Ann, daughter of Sir William Smith. Sir Ftraneis Bryan II, was a son of Sir Francis Bryan I and Lady Joan Fits -Gerald, and he vas a son of Sir Thomas Bryan and Lady Margaret, daughter of Sir Humphrey Bourchier and Elizabeth, daughter of Sir Frederick Tilney. Sir Humphrey Bourchier's parents were Sir John Bourchier (Earl of Eire) and Lady Ann Plantagenet. This Lady Ann was a daughter of Thomas of Woodstock (Duke of Gloucester) ane Lady Eleanor de Bohun (pronounced Boone and Said to be the same family as the American Boones). Thomas of Woodstock was a son of Edward III, King of Englund and Phillipa of Hainsult. Leidy Margaret Bourchier, wife of Sir. Thomas Bryan, was a cousin of Queen Ann Boleyn and was a great favorite at the glamorous court of Henry VIII, who had a predeliction for wives. She is said to have been very beautiful and most fasci- nating and her influence was so great and far-reaching that jealous courtiers in their nwhisperings" even suggested a "royal romance". (Ref.

( sister of Rebecca) and Edward, brother of Daniel) gives the same Bryan lineage from Edward 111, King of England, to Morgan Bryan who married martha Strode, and adds this interesting note about Lady Margaret Bourchier: a Lady Margaret Bourchier, wife of Sir Thomas Bryan, was a cousin of Queen Ann Bolyn, and was a great favorite at the glamorous court of Henry V111 who hada predilection for wives. She is said to.have been very beaytiful and most fascinating , and her influence was so great and far reaching, that jelous courtiers in their wisperings, even suggested a royal romance. t •• s -: 141M)RY n ..TUF CHAPTER 1 ORIGINS: TIME BRYAN FAMILY The Bryan Family had an English as well as an Irish origin. The_2 two lines were welded into one that in time become predomin- antly Irish. We begin with Sir Francis Bryan I, who in his second marriage with Lady Joan Fitzgerald, united the two lines. Sir Fran- cis Bryan was English and became prominent in government affairs in England under lienry VW. We are told that, "he was one of the brightest ornaments of Henry's court," and that there was an intimate relation between him and his sovereign going back to their youth; that lie was the King's constant companion in his amusements]. Na- turally lie rose rapidly in the affairs of Henry's government and held many important offices. Sir Francis was created a knight banneret on 27 September, 15.17. Hall, in the Chronicle, gives a quaint de- scription of Royalty gathering on the Field of the Cloth of Gold, to witness the tournaments. The participants were colorfully dressed. Among the names we find, "Sir Frauneis Brian." Hall also tells us that on one occasion Sir Francis Bryan lost an eye in a tilting match2. Sir Francis Bryan i came from a family of knights. His grand. father, Sir Thomas Bryan I, was Chief Justice of the Common Pleas from 1471 to his death in 1500. lie is believed to have descended from Sir Guy de Bryan of Walwyn's Castle, County Pembroke, and Tor Brian, Devon. This Sir Guy, on 31 December, 1369, was made Knight of the Garter. Iie died in 1390 and was entombed at Tewkes- bury. Sir Francis Bryan I's father, also named Thomas, was knight• ed by IIenry VTI in 1497. His mother was. Lady Margaret, a descend- ant of (lie llouse of Plantagenet. Lady Margaret was made a Bar- oness by the King and held important posts in the Court3. Sir Francis Bryan 1, was twice married. His second marriage, as noted above, was to lady Joan Fitzgerald, widow of James Butler, ninth Earl of Ormonde, a powerful Irish noble. She was also the daughter and heiress of James FitzGerald, tenth Earl of Desmond. Thus she was related to two prominent Irish families4. IIer family on the FitZGerald side is traced back to Brian Boroimhe (or Boru), one of the outstanding figures of Irish history, whose reign became known as the "Golden Age" in Ireland. This old and heroic line is known as the Dalcassians, from Cas Mac TAI, sun of Coliall of tho Fleet Steeds, King of Munster in the yrar 366 A. D. The pedigrees, taken from a number of ancient manuscripts written by hand on vel- lum, Books of Leinster, Ballymote and other hoary volumes in the 11hrary of Trinity College, Dublin, beginning with King Brian is as follows: IIIUAN I10I10II1tIIE ... 175th Monarch of Erin, b.

Thus in the origins of the Bryan Family we have in the rnar. riage of Sir Francis Bryan I, to Lady Joan FitzGerald, the union of the two prominent Bryan families, one English, the other Irish, that formed the Bryan Family, with which our record is concerned. Following their marriage in 1548, Sir Franci9 Bryan I was made Lord Marshall of Ireland and arrived in Dublin in November 1548 to take up his duties. It is very evident that the Irish strain in this union became the dominant one. Francis 131-yan U was born to Urem in 1549 and held large estates in County Clare. Iie married Ann, daughter of Sir William Smith. Francis and Ann Smith Bryan nam- ed their son, William Smith Bryan and he seemed to be Irish through and through. His fol!o%vers dubbed hiin "Prince William of Ireland." Because of his influence in the opposition to Cromwell in Ire- land, it was thought best by the ruling authorities to deport him. Ac. cordingly in 1650, with his family of eleven sons, ten grandsons and much household goods, horses, and other live stock --a ship load - 1.8M LIBRARY LEEL NO -- 3 lie %%aa landed on Gloucester Beach in Virginia6. Ile settled in Glou- cester County, Virginia. He is said to have been among the first to bring Horses to America7. William Smith Bryan was an original pro- prietor in Gloucester County, Virginia8. We have the name of only one of William Smith Bryan's sons, laic eldest, Francis Bryan LII, b. about 1630, d. in 1694. In 1GG7 he returned to Ireland in an attempt to regain family estates in County L'1;ire. Alceting with strong opposition he fled to Denmark where lie married Sarah Brunker, said to have been a cousin to the Prince of Orange9. While living in Denmark a son, Morgan Bryan, was born. -Sonic give the date of his birth as in 1671, others as in 1681. Then followed the 1113loodless Revolution" and Francis was able to return to Ireland about 1683 where he settled in Belfast and lived to the date of his death in 1694 10. It was in Belfast, 1685 that his second son, William, was born. This latter date is established by a notation on the famous "Church Letter" which William brought with him when lie migrated to America in 1718. Thus we have the Bryan Family making their home in Northern Ireland. Il was, composed of Francis Bryan III, his wife Sarah, and at least two sons, Morgan and William. There was probably a third son, David. At their father's death in 1694, Morgan would have been thirteen years old and William would have been nine. When we next see the family it is with William married to' Mar- garet and living at Banbridge, County Down, as members of the Bally- roncy Presbyterian Church. We surmise, that when Francis Bryan III returned to Ireland from his exile in Denmark, all hopes for the restoration of family estates and titles had been given up. Instead lie, or his family, turned to become a part of that Scotch -Irish group, which was to play so prominent a part in the New World. We wonder if some influences he came under while exiled in Denmark did not have much to do with it. Or it might have been contact with the Protestant Movement in northern Ireland. Any way we now sec polilical titles, offices in government, landed estates, royal affiliations, all tossed aside and the BryAns as every day com- mon people. But the adventurous spirit of their forefathers was not tossed aside. We find them setting their faces toward a new and hazardous world. They 4ecame pioneers, facing the dangers pf that life, requiring alertness' against hostile Indians, resourcefulness and ingenuity in providing for their own wants, such as building houses, making furni- ture, making their own farming implements, weaving cloth llor their clothing, and in short, doing about everything themselves that had to be done. We can well believe that the Bryans had a noble heritage by the caliber of these pioneerdescendants. They proved to be community and country builders. William Bryan Sr., as judged by his appdar- -- 4 . �•.....•r',..S.w�MA..r�lAiA...•..Ma�.i�.:��C='wr? �:*�t']0►RA�.tl1'�� ances in the records, was a leader wherever lie lived. lie was a sur• veyor and overseer in road buildingf 1, served on juries, served on appraisal committees for the government, etc. lie believed in the church as the center of community life. From the earliest times there was a Presbyterian Church in the Roanoke Community, mectipg on Peter's Creek, east of what is now Salem, Virginia. In it, William Bryan, Sr., was a leader as well as wore David his brother and William Jr., his son. These Bryans were staunch patriots and they (lid their part whole Iheartedly in es-lablish• ing the Republic. No less than five grandsons of William Bryan Sr.. served in the American Revolution. William Bryan Sr., according to tradition in the family, at first studied for the ministry but because of timidity, or olli. r rea,sns, shrank from public speaking. Ile gave up the ministry and turned to weaving, having had an establishment in Ireland that employe:l help. The part that lie took in the organization and promotion of Presbyterian churches wherever lie settled in America, gives cred- ence to this tradition of his interest in the ministry. In the year 1718 we find William Bryan Sr., a member of the Ballyroney Presbyterian Church in Banbridge, County Down, north. ern Ireland. That was the year that he decided to migrate to the American Colonies, and his church gave him a Letter of Commenda• lion, on the eve of his departurc12. The immediate cause for this decision is said to have been litiga• tion that grew out of his sending his small son, John Andrew, to the hillside to cut a sliclallah to be used in making a weaving rod. It cost some money and ,,I lot of trouble to get the affair settled, where- upon William is said to have declared that he would go to America, "where constables are not watching one's every step and where tim• ber is free." However, the main reason for this migration was that it was .a part of that Scotch•Irish Presbyterian movement from north- ern Ireland to the Colonies and especially to the eastern counties of Pennsylvania, to New Jersey and later to Virginia. The Church Letter of Commendation, which William and Mr. garet Bryan brought, with them from the Ballyroney Congregation, is still preserved in the Bryan Family, It, as we have noted, fixes the data of their migration being given on the eve of their departure. It was written on parchment and reads as follows; Ballyroney, April 17, 1718. "The bearer hereof, William Bryan, who hath been a useful item• ber of this Congregation, being now about to Transport himself & family to America These are to certify that Ile & his wife Margaret Bryan were of Food repute among us having Allways deserved the Laudable character of a blameless and Gospel Conversation & so De- serve Encourngement and ,1 Kind and cheerful recept-on into any christian Society where the Providence of God may cast their Lot as __ 5 limo tl,cm, we call but marvel, licalc►y says, "the pioneers of tllns c•u,untuntt3• %%-crc: inte:litient, industrious, public_spiciud cit.zeics fr��u► tlt� ulcicr rauauunities of the oldest Annerican provinces and tit►y I„uuhhl with theun whatever there was in character and culture .�> �cc•I1 as %%hal tilt-)- had in household goods, farming implements, ji%.c atuch, shul) and mi:1 equipment.

I. was a flet money of different sizes made from she.ls. The region where this money was used became known as Roanoke. The river ��Ir�ch tila-iuccl that section of Virinia, where this shell money was in use, and in which we are particularyl interested in this account, _.a•:w rnarned at first in three sections. The headwaters were called, •'rimose Creek," the central part, "Staunton," and the lower reaches, Roanoke." 1nr time tine name Roanoke prevailed in " the section t:uc•�� tr :is Gooze: Creek and a part of the section named Staunton. Later on, the name prevailed for the entire river29. Kegley applies the name Roanoke Community to the entire Roanoke Watershed. Leat there be carnf ubiun as to the place where the Bryans settled, we will use the term "Roanoke Community" in tine retracted sense. It rs that community which centered about the present towns of Salem anld Ituanoke City. The thnce sorts of William and Margaret Bryan: John Andrew, it-mics and William Jr., all lived in this Roanoke Community at one little or attuthcr. %villiar» Jr, joined his fattier at the Great Sprin,; 1'lautaliun ill. 1752, having married Margaret Watson, in Alonmout.i c uunity, Nc%%• Jersey on 2 April, 1750 30.

Morgan too, joined the southward track of the scotch-Irish migration into Virginia. Kegley tells us that, "Alex- wider Ross and Morgan Bryan of Pennsylvania petitioned the Govern- ment for 100,000 acres of land on the west side of the mounta'ns on the north and west of the Opequon. There they settled a colony Pf I. riends ill 1730 who built tine Hopewell Meeting House in 1734, p-.r- - 12 T��i11!�..C: �� ...(-.y; .. - .'•:tt:�otl,�l..I.rT��i:,e►,.�..'�'t�:2i`4i',;�'1��'L�'%�!f�}�A'� '�Oi�7k'L�t,J��+�1i��A.'7�Yj� han, the oldest congregation in the val4-y3?.

XIV, NO. i SALISBURY, N. C. JANUARY, 1969 TOMBSTONE OF MARTHA STRODE BRYAN Through a series of interesting events this soapstone tombstone of Martha Strode Bryan is now displayed and preserved in the Rowan Museum. Some time prior to his death in 1966, Mr. William D. Kizziah, vice-president of the Rowan Museum and a geneal- ogist noted for accuracy in research, was trying to locate in Davie County the family burying ground of some out-of- state friends. An affidavit from Mr. Kizziah tells the inter- esting story of what happened that day. He said that this stone was found by highway workers when they were building a road (probably#801) through that territory. Three stones were thrown into a ditch where they remained unnoticed for sometime. Later, two men found them and removed them to a tenant house. One of the men who owned the land where the stones were deposited, said that a friend of Mr. Kizziah"s might have the one he was using to cover a cistern. This person, knowing the historical signifi- cance of the stone, in turn gave it to Mr. Kizziah for the definite purpose of placing it in the Rowan Museum "where it would be preserved for posterity." "I, William D. Kizziah, happen to know that the Martha Bryan stone is the tombstone of Martha Strode, wife of Morgan Bryan, Senior. Many histories and records puo- lished show that Martha Strode Bryan died in 1747 and was buried in Winchester; Va. I had, years ago, found documen- tary evidence in the Rowan County will of Nicholas Harford, that he left his family Bible to Martha, the wife of Morgan Bryan, Sr, in his will in 1761. So, we know that she was living here in 1761, probably where she was buried in 1762. Her tombstone states she died on August 24, 1762, age 65, which makes her birth year as 1697." Martha Strode married Morgan Bryan, Sr. Their son, Joseph Bryan was the father of Rebecca Bryan who married Daniel Boone in 1755. This makes the tombstone one of the earliest relics in the museum. A letter from a descendant of Daniel Boone who visited the museum in October expresses her appreciation of the preservation of this valuable stone in a glass case made especially for it.

November 7, 1968 Dear Mrs. Guille, I must let you know how much 1 appreciated, and am grateful for, the Rowan Museum. My husband and I just re- turned from a months vacation of which about ten days were spent in your beautiful state. My family has been searching for a long time on my pa- ternal McLean ancestry. My great, great grandfather, David McLean, was born in -1765 in N. C. I had planned to search for clues to his ancestry in your old Court House records and libraries. Miss Edith Clark, your capable and gFecious librarian was most helpful. One morning we drove to Mocksville's Old Joppa Cemetery to see my maternal ancestor's graves - Squire and Sarah Morgan Boone s. I asked, "Where are Morgan and Martha Strode Bryan's graves? They should be here, also. I had forgotten Martha was supposed to be buried in Va. "The things that come by the way of serendipity" can be the high light of a trip, as they were In my case. When I re- turned to the library, I said to Miss Clark: "I couldn't find Morgan and Martha Bryan's graves." She said, "I want you to see our museum." She walked over there with me and in- troduced me to Mrs. Fairley, the hostess, and said, "Show her the old stone in the back room." I was entranced with the lovely old house and its beauti- ful stairway, old fireplaces, and brass hardware so carefully preserved. It was a perfect home for your unbelievable col- lection of historical treasures. "A thing of beauty is a joy forever" and this house truly was for me. The old stone was nine generations removed my grand- mother's. It was proof she died. in 1762, instead of 1747 in Va. I am descended from her grand -daughter, Martha Bryan (sister Rebecca) that married Edward Boone (brother Daniel), Squire and Sarah's son. have always loved history and things historical. The story of how that stone was recovered is unbelievable. You have made it possible that it will be preserved for posterity. want to say to each and every one who had a part ---thank you. walked In the lovely garden In the rear before I left. As I looked up at the lovely new church spire, I gave thanks to God that there are those who care. Gratefully yours, Gladys McLean Matthews (Mrs. John S.) HISTORICAL TOUR The purpose of the Rowan Museum to promote interest In the history of Rowep County was carried out on May 19th with an historical tour., The following article from the Salisbury Post of May 20th describes it well: The first annual Rowan Museum County Tour yesterday attracted a large and enthusiastic crowd not only from this area but from neighboring counties. Nearly half of the participants came from outside of Rowan to enjoy the first historic tour presented by the Rowan Museum, Inc. More than 140 adults and children left the museum in four buses about an hour later then the scheduled 2 .o'clock starting time. The crowd that paid for the tour surpassed all expectations and additional buses had to be called into service as more people arrived at the last minute. The tour covered both the western and eastern portions of the county taking such historic sites as Mt. Vernon near Woodleaf, Third Creek and Thyatira Presbyterian churches at Cleveland and Mill Bridge with a brief stop at Wood Grove on the Sherrill's Ford Road. At Thyatira representatives of the church conducted visitors on a tour of the graveyard and the old church erect- ed in 1860. Printed folders of the church's history were passed out. On the second leg the tour visited the Old Stone House near Granite Quarry where refreshments were served and then continued on to Organ and Lowerstone churches in the far eastern and of the county. Guides for each of the four buses were Claude Pickett, Jim Lloyd, both of the Salisbury public school system, Mrs. William D. Kizziah and James Brawley. The tour was under the general direction of Mrs. Clarence Kluttz assisted by Mrs. John Hanford. Ernest Hardin, presi- dent of the Rowan Museum, and Mrs. Gettys Guille, direc- tor, aided in the overall arrangements. COMMUNICATIONS The Editor: On Monday five members of the staff of Vance Birth- -plmw-Stete---+Nstotie--Site4vear Asheville journeyed to Salisbury, to see the Rowan Museum and the Old Stone House. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and carne away feeling that Rowan Is among the leaders among North Carolina's 100 counties In the preservation of tangible reminders of the past. One of the marks of a cultured community is its posses- sion of a good museum. Salisbury and Rowan County - with the Rowan Museum, the Old Stone House and the Setzer School - are indeed wealthy in this respect. We would also like to commend the city and county schools for including local and regional history in the pro- gram of the supplementary education center.

DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC INSTRUCTION STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA RALEIGH October 29, 1968 Dear Mrs. Guille: Please forgive the lateness of my reply to your. gracious letter of August ' 15, 1968. Shortly after I received it, l be- came ill and have only recently returned from the hospital. Mrs. McDaniel is to be highly complimented on the ease and simplicity with which she makes known to the visitors the fascinating history of the Maxwell Chambers House and the persons who have lived in it. All too often, I think, house 'museums of this nature lack the close association with the region which your museum possesses. Certainly it has been decorated beauti- fully and all who have taken part in this should be compli- mented. As an educator, I believe visits to your Institution by youngsters In the area would be rewarding, and no doubt alert and inspired teachers have brought you many, many such young people already-. History can be fascinating and when presented In so delightful a frame there is some- thing in every age level to charm the eye or touch the heart. May I say again how much I enjoyed my -brie'Vvisit to the Maxwell Chambers House and how I would like to see more efforts made to preserve the past as it is truely prologue for the future.
