I am just now getting around to reading the Jan 17 mail concerning the family of Thomas Bryan who married Sarah Hunt. I don't believe Thomas could have been the Dr. Thomas Bryan of the Revolution. He was dead in Rowan Co. NC by 6 Feb 1777 when Sarah, his widow was named administrator of his estate with Jonathan Hunt and Andrew Hunt as security. This record is in the McCubbin Collection in Salisbury NC. I have a family record death date of 10 Feb 1776 (no other reference). Martha Bryan, daughter of Thomas and Sarah, was born 5 Aug 1771 and died 1848. Her birth date is in the Bryan Bible - a copy of which is in KENTUCKY BIBLE RECORDS done by the KY DAR Feb 1933 and a copy of that is in the Kentucky Historical Society. She married first Daniel (Stephen) Gano (son of John). Their daughter Mary Forbish Gano married (1)Lewis Howard Bryan as a second wife. Lewis Howard Bryan was the son of Jonathan Bryan (Martha's brother) and Elizabeth Howard. Lewis Howard Bryan was my husband's ggg grandfather. Martha married (2)Elisha Cobb . "Gano-Ganoe-Ganow" by Lemaster page 187 also gives the parents of Mary Forbs Bryan as Daniel Gano and Martha Bryan and her husbands as Lewis H. Bryan and Elisha Cobb. Betty Carson
