My husband's BRYAN family was part of the second one. They were in Craven Co, NC in 1773 and sold their land there, and arrived down in old Barnwell Dist, SC in 1774, where William and Simon (brothers) fought in the Rev. War. The area they owned is now part of Allendale Co, SC. Many of their descendant BRYANs moved across the Savannah River to what is now Screven Co, GA and many also moved into Chatham Co. Some of the Screven Co Bryans went back and forth from Savannah to Sylvania or other areas around there. If you can tell me which BRYANs you have I may be able to help you. I just published my 3d edition of "This Bryan Family" book, but I always help people with some info on their own line. During the years when I was doing so much research on them, I also researched that other BRYAN family that was in Savannah and Charleston, to be sure they were not part of the other BRYAN line. The BRYAN county was named for that other BRYAN family, too. Judy
