Mississippi First Families - earliest known heads (men and women) of families in Mississippi, born outside of Mississippi or earliest known member of the family in Mississippi by the 1900 US Census or earlier ~ per WikiTree's Category: Mississippi First Families

The Order of the First Families of Mississippi (1699-1817) - Anyone who can prove lineal descent from a person who lived in what is now the State of Mississippi (or the area deemed the Mississippi Territory, which is Territory included part of Alabama and Louisiana during different occupations) between 1699, when the French established the settlement of Old Biloxi, and December 10, 1817, when Mississippi was admitted to the Union, is eligible for membership in The Order of the First Families of Mississippi. ~ https://offms.org/membership-information/

The following information is excerpted from https://offms.org/history-of-the-order/

The members authorized to apply for a Charter of Incorporation were as follows: Mr. Lamar Landfair, Mrs. Herbert D. Forrest, Mrs. T. L. Carraway, Mrs. Hugh Watkins, and Mrs. R. C. Upton. Governor John Bell Williams approved the charter on February 2, 1968.

Mr. Charles Owen Johnson, Member Number 1, was installed as the first Governor General along with a staff of officers to be known as the General Council.

8-10 INTERACTIVE FAMILY HISTORIES

JOHN BRYAN (1) is the oldest proven ancestor of the authors. This author feels that his ancestor, John Bryan (1), is the most likely candidate to be the son of Morgan Bryan and Martha (Strode) Bryan. In his will dated March 28, 1763, Morgan Bryan mentions his son, John Bryan, therefore, there is no doubt that Morgan Bryan did have a son, John Bryan, who was living at the time that the will was written in 1763. The ancestor of the authors, John Bryan (1), is believed to have been born around 1731 which makes it reasonable that he could be the son of Morgan and Martha Bryan. Many sources indicate that Morgan Bryan’s children were born from 1720 to 1740 which further supports this connection. John Bryan’s birthdate was derived by knowledge that the earliest known marriage of his children - his daugther, Jane Bryan, married John Orton in 1770. Assuming that Jane Bryan married John Orton at age of eighteen, Jane Bryan was born around 1752. Assuming that John and Sarah Bryan were married when John Bryan was twenty years of age and that John and Sarah Bryan had Jane after one year of marriage, supports that John was born around 1731. This is the same birthdate established in the 1942 article written by Edward Bryan (the earliest reference that mentions the birthdate of John Bryan).

Also, there little doubt that most of Morgan Bryan’s sons moved to Anson/Rowan County, North Carolina. In October of 1752, Morgan Bryan was issued numerous land patents from Lord Granville in behalf of his sons. The associated plats read: “land surveyed for John Bryant, William Bryant, Samuel Bryant and Joseph Bryant." These plats confirm that several sons of Morgan Bryan lived in Anson County, North Carolina as early as 1752.

There was definitely a John Bryan living in Rowan County as early as 1758 with many land transactions occuring in what is now the extreme south central part of what is today Yadkin County, North Carolina. From 1778 to 1797, John Bryan (1) is definitely known to have owned land and eventually resided in the west central of part of what is today Davie County, North Carolina. Proving that these were both the same John Bryan will be indeed be difficult as well as establishing that the John Bryan of southern Yadkin County is the son of Morgan Bryan, mentioned in his 1763 will.

There are numerous books and articles written on Morgan and Martha Bryan and their children. Most of these books and articles state little about Morgan’s son, John Bryan. The most widely available books are: “The Boone Family” by Hazel Atterbury Spraker, 1922 and “Brianniana” by Edward A. Bryan, 1934. Both of these books state that the Morgan Bryan had a son named John but give no additional information concerning John Bryan and his family. Another widely referenced book is “Pioneer Families of Missouri” by William S. Bryan and Robert Rose which was first published in 1876. The original 1876 sketch on the Bryan family mentions no children of Morgan Bryan. However, in the 1935 reprint of the book, an introduction was added in which Morgan Bryan’s children are listed. Although John Bryan is mentioned to be a son of Morgan Bryan, no additional information on John Bryan or his family is introduced. Other known books that the author has not had access to are: “The Boone-Bryan History” by Dr. J. D. Bryan, 1913 and “The Shearer-Akers Family” by James William Shearer, 1915. An article entitled “Bryan, a Pioneer Family” by Edward Bryan appeared “The Register of the Kentucky State Historical Society” in 1942. This article introduces an estimate of John Bryan’s brithdate to be circa 1731 but gives no additional informational on John Bryan or his family.

8-12 INTERACTIVE FAMILY HISTORIES

The book, “Carolina Cradle,” by Robert W. Ramsey, 1964, provides a well documented sketch of Morgan Bryan, however, it does not include any information on Morgan’s son, John Bryan or his family. Another widely available book “Notable Southern Families” by Zella Armstrong, 1974, introduces a major error on John Bryan and his family. It states that John Bryan married Frances Battle and that John was a Captain in the Revolution who was killed at his own door by Colonel Fanning. This John Bryan died many miles away from where Morgan Bryan and his children lived while John Bryan (1), believed to be Morgan’s son, lived nearby. The will of John Bryan was signed in 1797 and probated in 1801. This will clearly establishes that the wife of John Bryan was named Sarah. Land associated with this will clearly establish that this was the will of the John Bryan who lived on or near Bear Creek and Dutchman’s Creek (this is approximately eight miles southwest from where Morgan Bryan last lived). Also, several children of John Bryan (1) are known to resided in this same area. To date, this author has never seen any primary documentation that links John and Frances Bryan (or any of their known children) to the area around where Morgan Bryan last lived.

John Bryan (1) is known to be the father of Samuel Bryan, Sr. of Davidson County, Tennessee by a 1801 deed recorded in Rowan County, North Carolina. On October 15, 1801, “Samuel Bryan of Davidson County and State of Tennessee” received 200 pounds for 200 acres of land from “John Little of Rowan County and State of North Carolina.” This deed describes this land as a “parcel of land left to him the said Samuel Bryan by the will of John Bryan, Dec’d lying & being in Rowan County and State of North Carolina lying on Bear Creek being part of a tract of land Granted to the said John Brian (sic) by the state of North Carolina bearing date at Kingston the twenty fifth day of October Anno Domini Seventeen hundred and Eighty six, No. 1225 as by record will more fully appear.” This land was bounded by land owned by Benjamin Gaither and the deed was witnessed by another neighbor, Jacob Trout. The description of this land and the neighbors listed in this deed provide a firm connection between John Bryan of Rowan County, North Carolina of Samuel Bryan of Davidson County, Tennessee.

From 1778 until his death 1800 (probate started), John Bryan (1) owned land and probably lived around eight miles southwest of where Morgan Bryan, Sr. last lived. John Bryan, Sr. lived in an area of Rowan County, North Carolina that, in 1836, became west central part of Davie County, North Carolina. Through numerous land transactions, it has been determined that John Bryan (1) lived in Rowan County, North Carolina from 1778 to 1800 and that he had the following neighbors (some deeds from the probate records): Benjamin Gaither (1778 - 1803), Thomas Pennery (1778 - 1796), William Williams (1778 - 1787), Robert Luckey (1778 - 1787), John Van Eaton (1778), Valentine Huff (1783 - 1802), John Adams (1784), Mary Luckey (1784 - 1796), Ralph Vaneleave (1784), John Hughey (1784), George Wilcoxon (1784), John Bryan, Jr. (1787 - 1797), Daniel Sutherland (1787), John Pinchback (1787), Richard Speaks (1787), William Patrick (1787), Jacob Nichols (1787), Samuel Reed (1787), Jacob Trout (1796 - 1801), John Little, Sr. (1801), Beal Ijams (1801) and Jacob Coon (1802). It is also known from these deeds that they all lived near the following Creeks: Bear Creek (great majority of deeds), Hunting Creek and Dutchman’s Creek.

BRYAN FAMILY HISTORY 8-13

It has been definitely established that John Bryan (1) resided on land near Bear Creek for a period of twenty years. It appears that John Bryan (1) moved to the Bear Creek area around 1778. The earliest known proof that John Bryan (1) owning land near Bear Creek in Rowan County, North Carolina is a vacant land entry where 400 acres was entered on Bear Creek adjacent to Robert Luckey, William Williams and John Van Eaton. This vacant land entry was dated February 16, 1778. In 1783, State Land Grant Number 635 that was issued to Benjamin Gaither for 508 acres “on Bear Creek in the creek bottom next to John Bryan and Valentine Huff.” Gaither and Huff are listed several times as owning land next to John Bryan (1) over the next twenty years. In 1786, John Bryan (1) was issued State Land Grant Number 1225 in Rowan County, North Carolina for 200 acres next to land owned by Benjamin Gaithers and William Williams. In 1787, the son of John Bryan (1), Samuel Bryan, bought 100 acres of land from John Adams in Rowan County, North Carolina. This land was situated on Bear Creek and had the following neighbors: John Bryan, Mary Luckey, Thomas Penry and Benjamin Gaither. Because of neighbors listed in these deeds, it is almost certain that this Samuel Bryan was the son of John and Sarah Bryan. Nine years later, in 1796, Samuel Bryan sold this land to Jacob Trout and the indenture listed the same four neighbors listed in 1787.

There are several sources that show another John Bryan, probably John Bryan (1), living about one or two miles northeast of where Morgan Bryan and Martha Bryan last lived in 1762. This land is now situated in the north central part of Davie County, North Carolina. According to an abstract of a deed listed in the McCubbins collection, “Earl Granville let John Bryan of Rowan County, North Carolina have 646 acres of vacant land on both sides of Morgan’s Creek on a branch of Cedar Creek, waters of Dutchman’s Creek.” This abstract further states that this deed was recorded in book 5, page 146. The “Davie County Land Grants” map by Andrew Lagle and the “Davie County, North Carolina Historical Documentation” map by the Custom House both indicate that this land was granted to John Bryan in 1762. Apparently, both maps were based on the the McCubbins abstract and the McCubbins abstract is definitely in error. The actual deed (Book 5, Page 146) shows that Morgan Bryan, Jr. acquired this land in 1762, not John Bryan. However, a John Bryan did live on this land in 1780. On March 4, 1780, Joseph “Bryant” was granted 288 acres and listed John “Bryant” as a neighbor. Additionally, on March 21, 1780, Morgan “Bryant” was granted 250 acres and listed John “Bryant” as his neighbor. Apparently a John Bryan acquired this land from Morgan Bryan between 1762 and 1780.

8-14 INTERACTIVE FAMILY HISTORIES

There is a John Bryan mentioned in the 1741 will of Mary (Bryan) Curtis probated in Orange County, Virginia. Mary is said to be the sister of John Bryan (1). Another John Bryan appears in at least two Anson County, North Carolina legal transactions. On January 9, 1748/49, John Bryan had become of age by when he was a Sworn Chain Carrier (SCC). On October 27, 1752, Morgan Bryant, Jr. obtained 141 acres of land in Anson County, North Carolina using the survey that John Bryant did in January, 1748/49. On October 27, 1752, Morgan Bryan, Sr. obtained a patent for 313 acres in Anson County on the north bank of the Yadkin River below Mill Creek Mulberry Fields. This land was acquired on behalf of his son, John Bryan, the land being surveyed on January 4, 1748/49. This land was sold ten years later by John Bryan and Morgan Bryan, Jr. to John Howard.

There are several other references to a John Bryan residing in Rowan County, North Carolina prior to 1778 which could be John Bryan (1). Most of this property is located in what is today the south central part of Yadkin County, North Carolina. Any connection to this John Bryan and John Bryan (1) has not been established. On April 22, 1762, Morgan Bryan, Jr. and John Bryan let John Howard have 313 acres “on the north bank of the Yadkin River below Mill Creek of Mulberry Fields.” This deed was witnessed by William Williams and John Linville. The description of this property listed no neighbors and it is not certain where this property was located. On October 10, 1763, John Bryan sold land “lying on both sides of Millar’s Branch being a fork of Deep Creek” to Morgan Bryan. On October 12, 1763, John Bryan sold 460 acres “lying on both sides of Miller’s Creek, a Fork of Deep Creek,” to Christian Miller. This property was on Martha Bryan’s corner. This property was part of 560 acres granted to John Bryan by Earl Granville on August 10, 1762. On February 13, 1771, John Bryan sold 101 acres to Morgan Bryan “being part of the tract of land whereon the said John Bryan now dwells which was formerly granted to him.” This deed was witnessed by John Braly, John Parr, Jr. and Andrew Hunt. In 1772, John Bryan (1) and his two sons, John and Samuel, were found in a list of taxables returned by William Sharp. This clearly establishes birthdates of John’s sons, John and Samuel, to be prior to 1756 (white male men were subject to be taxable when they reached the age of sixteen).

According to the 1797 will of John Bryan (1), John Bryan married a woman whose first name was Sarah. According to Ruth Cooper, John Bryan married Sarah Hobby. Originally this marriage was thought to be based on family legend but it is now believed that this connection was derived from a marriage record of Edgecombe County, North Carolina where a John Bryan married a Sarah Hobby on July 1, 1766. The authors now believe this marriage to be extremely speculative in nature. Even if this marriage was John Bryan (1) and Sarah Bryan, Sarah would probably not be the mother of any of John Bryan’s children as most of them (if not all) appear to be born prior 1766 (the date of marriage between John Bryan and Sarah Hobby of Edgecombe County, North Carolina). Additionally, it is believed that John Bryan (1) lived in south central part of Yadkin County, North Carolina in 1766. In 1766, the western most boundary of Edgecombe County, North (which was a much larger county then) consisted the western most boundary of present day Nash County, North Carolina. These two counties are substantially far apart which further discounts the validity of this connection.

BRYAN FAMILY HISTORY 8-15

The will indicates that John and Sarah Bryan were the parents of three sons and six daughters (the following birthdates of the below listed children are rough approximations derived primarily from marriage dates, land transactions, estate papers and one tombstone):

Samuel Bryan (2), b. mid 1750’s James Bryan (1.2), b. 1760’s John Bryan, Jr. (1.3), b. mid 1750’s Jane Bryan (1.4), b. early 1750’s Jannet Bryan (1.5), b. late 1750’s Elizabeth Bryan (1.6), b. late 1760’s Sarah Bryan (1.7) Mary Bryan (1.8), b. early 1760’s Margaret Bryan (1.9), b. ca. 1768

The will of John Bryan, a planter, “made while in perfect health on November 18, 1797" is the last known date that John Bryan (1) was still living. On November 5, 1800, ”the will of John Bryan is proved by Samuel Casey, Joseph Orten and William Law." The Loose Estate papers of James Bryan (son of John Bryan) state the John Bryan died in 1800 in Rowan County, North Carolina. These two records that John Bryan (1) probably died in 1800 in Rowan County, North Carolina. In 1801, his son, Samuel Bryan, was selling land that he enhirited from from his father, John Bryan, deceased. On May 31, 1805, “William Law and Joseph Orton (as executors of deceased John Bryan wanted certain land sold) let John Little” have “300 acres on both sides of Bear Creek on the line of the original grant next to Benjamin Gaither and William Williams for 287 pounds.” There have been no records of Sarah Bryan located after the death of John Bryan (1).

FHL Book US/CAN 929.27"As Thomas Bryan, son of Morgan, is often, even in recent years been called a Tory by writers, the following account of the battle of the Shallow Ford, where a Captain Thomas Bryan was killed is of interest.

In the Draper M s. 8c43 (State Hist. Soc. of Wisconsin) is a letter dated Feb. 17, 1887, to the Editor of the Landmark, (evidently a paper published in Davie County, North Carolina) and signed by D. M. Furches. Parts of the letter follow:

"In the Revolutionary times, what is now Davie County was a part of Rowan and was known as the "Forks", lying as it does in the forks or prongs of the north and south Yadkin Rivers, one of the best portions of North Carolina, the hunting ground of Daniel Boone in his youth; the home of such families as the Pearsons, Clements, Gaithers, Ellison, Cooks, Mumfords and many others. But among them there was a large and influential family by the name of Bryan. This family was extensive, wealthy for that day and influential, but they were all loyalists, Tories. One of them being the celebrated Colonel Bryan who had the fight with Richmond Pearson. Another was known as Captain Thomas Bryan, who raised a Tory company and held it subject to orders for the protection of the loyalists, the "Forks being about equally divided between the Whigs and Tories.

Captain Francis called his company of Whigs out and started down the Yadkin to disband Bryan's company, neither Bryan or Francis knew the other was on the march -- this has since been called the "Battle Ground Branch" about 1/2 mile west of the little town of Huntsville and one mile west of the Shallow Ford on the Yadkin River and has always been known in tradition as the Battle of the Shallow Ford.

As Captain Bryan moved up the Yadkin on his way to what turned out to be the battle of the Shallow Ford, when ever he came upon a young man with avowed Whig principles, he took him a "prisoner of war", and among those so taken was a young man by the name of Robin Horn. Captain Bryan, not long before the battle of the Shallow Ford, had married Sallie Howell, a beautiful young Whig girl, an aunt of Stephen L. Howell, who died in Statesville about two years ago. She by will or some other way, succeeded to the estate of Captain Bryan on Dutchman's Creed, seven miles above Mocksville. She remained a widow until after peace was declared, and Robin Horn, the prisoner of her husband, at the time he was killed, returned home and soon after his return, she and Robin were married and settled down on her estate and raised a large family. One son was named Howell Horn".

"Compiler's note - From this Captain Thomas Bryan living on Dutchman's Creek, it would appear that he was the son of Captain John Bryan, Whig, Captain in the North Carolina Militia, and grandson of Morgan Bryan Sr."
