Disputed Parents

Ancestry has Mary Boone (and husband William Bryan) as the mother of Mary (Bryan) Van Hoose, but research indicates that her mother was not Mary Boone & is as yet unknown. Source: postings at link for Bryan Research (Yahoo group) on Mary (Bryan) Ingles profile page.

The postings on that message board include a posting by Gena Miklos on 23 February 2009 which states that she received an email from a fellow researcher which stated the following information:
"My sister and I contacted a Boone & Bryan family historian and this is what she had to say:
I cannot help you with your Mary Bryan, however the often circulated myth that Mary Bryan daughter of of William Bryan and Mary Boone m. a Vanhoose is just that. You can check the Bryan family Bible at Duncan Tavern Museum in Paris KY, and Mary Bryan (dau) was born January 7, 1777, thus would only be 12 years old at the time of the Bryan/Vanhoose marriage. None of the Bryan/Boone children married at 12. There are also records of the Mary Bryan/Ingles marriage in Campbell County, KY, which you could also use to verify. Sorry, but that one should be put to rest. I do not know which Mary Bryan m. a Vanhoose, but it was not the daughter of William & Mary Boone Bryan. There were several other Bryan lines in VA at that time, perhaps it is one of them. In 1789, Mary Boone Bryan and her remaining children were firmly ensconsed in KY. Wish I could help more, as I'd love to be able to help place your Mary. (a note from a Bryan researcher)
"This myth is nearly impossible to put to rest. I have no doubt that one Mary Bryan married a Van Hoose, but IT WAS NOT THE DAUGHTER OF MARY BOONE AND WILLIAM BRYAN. You are correct that their daughter Mary Bryan (according to the bible, no middle name; but was called Mary Bryan, Jr.) married Joseph Ingels/Ingles in 1796 in Pendleton Co., KY. Their daughter Mary Bryan was born in 1777, according to the Mary Boone Bryan Bible at Duncan Tavern Museum, Paris, KY.
Mary Boone Bryan's grandson Joseph, s/o Daniel, said that his aunt Mary Jr. married Ingels; a man named William Chambers, who married an Ingels granddaughter of Mary Jr, wrote to Draper .... I am 100%+ confident that the daughter of Mary Boone and William Bryan, their only girl named Mary was born in 1777 and she married Joseph Ingels, who was half-brother to her sister Eliz.'s Bryan Dehart's husband. (both men were sons of Catherine Boone d/o Joseph Boone, Jr.) Rebecca B. (Grant) Lemond told Draper that her aunt Mary Boone Bryan's daughter Mary married Ingels."
The possibility of her surname being O'Bryan and not BRYAN has been put forth:
"George Van Hoose, Mary's grandson, said Mary's dad was "a" William Bryan and Mary had a brother named Owen. Now I knew most of my great-grandparents (my great-great-grandmother lived with me!) and I for sure knew all my grandparent's siblings so I'm guessing George ought to know. And Owen Bryan isn't a name found very often. He should be a good clue to use to trace. George also mentioned that Mary and Owen had a sister who "married a Rector". So, I started looking in each and every county that John and Mary VanHoose were reported to have lived in at one time or another and the counties surrounding these counties for an Owen Bryan. What I found was an Owen Bryan who married a Patience Rector in Washington County, Virginia. Owen's last name was spelled in various ways depending on the record but for the marriage record found in Washington County Virginia he spelled it "O'Brient. He and Patience married 5-15-1806. I went on to find Owen's father-in-law's marriage record: Bennet Rector m. Sally Bryant 3/2/1808 (2nd wife). Notice Sally spelled her name different. So, Patience's dad took for his second wife Owen's sister. Bennet and Owen appear in records in TN together. I think its fair to say that they are in-laws to each other after looking at the information. The other interesting part to their tale is that their descendants followed the same path to Washington County Arkansas as George VanHoose's parents. And Owen's and his sister's descendants married into the same families as our Arkansas Van Hoose families."

Mary BRYAN was born about 20 May 1769 in Anson County, North Carolina and died about 28 January 1847 in Hagar Hill, Johnson County, Kentucky. Her parentage at this time is not known, but research has eliminated the following parents from the possibilities: William BRYAN and Mary BOONE. Her place of burial is not currently known, but it was probably in Johnson County, Kentucky and near Hagar Hill where she is known to have died. [Alternate Death: Whitehouse, Johnson County, Kentucky in 1820[2]]

in 1779, part of Anson County, North Carolina became Montgomery County, North Carolina.

Marriage:

Mary BRYAN was married about 1789 in Montgomery County, North Carolina to John Van HOOSE.

Spouse:

John Van HOOSE was born between 5 April 1760 and 1762 in Anson County, North Carolina and died about 5 January 1861 in White House, Johnson County, Kentucky. He is believed to have been the son of John Van HOOSER, Jr. (1723 – 1770) and Hannah CHEEK (1723 – 1763).

Notes

Note N44http://home.att.net/~laurabrownmckenzie/Farqva.html John Van Hoose Jr. (s/o Mary Bryan and john Van Hoose) married Lydia Lewis. Her father was Zachariah. He is living in Farquier Co Va in 1772 (per deed) and is acquainted with a Max'm. Berryman The Berryman and Rector families of Farquier appear to be well aquainted with each other per deeds. ---------------------------------------------------------- http://genforum.genealogy.com/cgi-bin/pageload.cgi?Mary,Bryan::boone:: 5871.html At least one of the books I own has conflicting information. The book "Frederick County, Virginia - Settlement and Some First Families of Back Creek Valley, 1730-1830" by Wilmer Kerns - "Morgan Bryan - Opequon Settlement Leader - The Bryan family pioneered some of the major settlements in colonial America. In 1730, Morga Bryan and his partner in Pennsylvania, Alexander Ross, paged the way for the Opequon Settlement in the northern Valley of Virginia. In 1748, the Bryan clan established a settlement in Yadkin Valley, North Carolina, after losing a dispute with Lord Fairfax in Virginia. During the 1770s, members of the Bryan family opened Kentucky for settlement, and later Missouri. Several of Mogan Bryan's children were Tories. By 1805, the Bryan surname had disappeared from Rowan Co., NC." "By most acounts, Morgan Bryan was born in Den,ark, about 1671 of English-Irish parentage, and came to America from northern Ireland in 1695 at the age of 24 years. The earliest known record on Bryan is the listing of his name on the 1719 tax roll for birmingham Township, Chester Co., PA.....Recorded activities of some of his children suggest that Bryan was married earlier than 1717. In that year, Morgan Bryan was 46 years old and his wife Martha Strode (1697-1762) was 20 years old." "Morgan and Martha's nine known children were: Joseph (1718-1804; father of Rebecca, wife of Daniel Boone); Mary; Eleanor; Samuel; Morgan, Jr.; John; William, who married Mary Boone, sister of Daniel, and founded Bryan's Station, KY in 1779; James; and Thomas." According to this book Samuel and Thomas were Tories and mention is made that many of the families in the Bryan settlement (YadkinRowan NC) were sympathetic with the British cause. There is further information in the book on these people. 1


She was born on 20 May 1769 in Orange County, North Carolina.

Mary Bryan married about 1788 in Montgomery County, North Carolina, USA to John B. VanHoose.

She died on 28 Jan 1847 in Hagerhill, Johnson County, Kentucky, USA.

Research Notes

None of the VanHooses are descended from Mary Boone and William Bryan. People continue to add them because it was documented incorrectly in a book. We have a Vanhoose Facebook group and it's been confirmed with the group with the Boone Society.

Since both Mary Ingles and Mary Van Hoose can't be the daughter named Mary of Mary Boone Boone-112, I disconnected this Mary from her & her husband. See also the following "conversation" that I found through a link on Mary (Bryan) Ingles page for the Yahoo group for Van Hoose: https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/vanhoose/conversations/messages/6754

Bryan-2366 and Bryan-240 appear to represent the same person because: Hi Jane! These do appear to be duplicate profiles, so I switched your unmerged match to a proposed match. I never had any replies to my post for documentation of her parents, but exploring a link to VanHoose Research (Yahoo group) on Mary Ingles page, it appears her mother is unknown (so her father wouldn't be Mary Boone's husband either). I've removed them as the parents of Bryan-240. Merge can proceed. Thanks!

Hi to all profile managers for Mary Bryan, wife of John Van Hoose. Does anyone have primary sources that show Mary Bryan is the daughter of Mary (Boone) Bryan and William Bryan? In trying to merge siblings, it doesn't appear that both Mary m. Van Hoose and Mary m. Ingels can be their daughter. Thanks, Liz
