Beautiful countryside there. Reminds me of home back in Kentucky. Rolling hill country along the Ohio River. Here is a short (LOL) excerpt from the history of another ggf, a 7th. There wasn't a large population in the colonies back then and the gene pool was pretty shallow. If you had ancestors arrive early on chances are good that they hooked up with one or two families of historical note.


The first of our Bryan line to immigrate permanently to America was Morgan Bryan, son of Francis Bryan III and grandson of William Smith Bryan, who along with his large family, was deported to Virginia in 1650 by Oliver Cromwell. William's eldest son, Francis III, later returned to Ireland in an attempt to reclaim the family fortune, but was forced to flee to Denmark where his son Morgan was born in 1671. Morgan immigrated to America in 1719. He later married Martha Strode who was orphaned when her parents died on their voyage to America. The couple initially moved to Chester County, Pennsylvania and then in 1710, moved to Virginia, twelve miles from Winchester. They had twelve children. Morgan later sold his interests in Virginia and the family moved to what was then Rowan County (now Davie County), North Carolina. He and Martha both died there and were buried on the family homestead. The site of the family cemetery, as well as their home, is located in what is now Oak Valley Golf Community. Martha's tombstone is housed in a museum in Salisbury, North Carolina. The remaining family tombstones were lost. It was three of Morgan Bryan's sons, James, Morgan Jr. and William, who teamed up with Daniel Boone in the fall of 1773 to become the first white settlers in Kentucky. The Boones and the Bryans were entertwined through various marriages. The brothers' niece, Rebecca (brother Joseph's daughter) married Daniel Boone; their sister Martha married Daniel Boone's brother, Edward and William Christopher married Daniel's sister, Mary. The Bryans and the Boones, along with several other families, began their journey to Kentucky in September of 1773. They were attacked by Indians in October near the Cumberland Gap and returned to Clinch River, Virginia to regroup and spend the winter. In 1774, Daniel Boone worked with Colonel Richard Henderson to gain possession of the Cherokee land bounded by the Ohio, Kentucky and Cumberland Rivers. Boone raised a company of men and proceeded to blaze a trail to the Kentucky River. At the point where Otter Creek flowed into the Kentucky River, the men built a stockade and in honor of Daniel Boone, named it Boonesboro. The stockade was finished by June, 1775 and they returned to Virginia to get their families. The original group of Boones and Bryans and their families, along with some new families, accompanied this party back to Kentucky. The Boones stopped at Boonesboro while the Bryans proceeded further north to Elkhorn River and began erecting a stockade fort there which they named Bryan Station. Records show that between 1779 and 1780, the Bryan brothers William, James, Joseph, Morgan Jr., John and Samuel, all entered land in tracts lying some distance from the stockade at Bryan Station.
