Notes for WILLIAM BRYAN:

William Bryan was born in Salem, Virginia in 1750. He fought in the American Revolution.He was friends with Daniel Boone (Boone's wife Rebecca Bryan was probably his 2nd cousin). He went with Boone into Kentucky (on the expedition that Boone's son was killed and was said to have planted the first corn field there. He didn't stay (but I think his son Thomas Bryan did). He settled in Tennessee near what is today Knoxville.
