War (John (w)4, John (w)3, John2, John1) was born Abt. 1748 in Maryland, and died Bef. February 10, 1789 in Nelson County, Kentucky, Resided in the Pottinger's Creek Settlement from March 1788. He married Eleanor (w) (O'Bryan) Bryan Bet. November 1767 - 1770 in St. Mary' s County, Maryland, daughter of Henry Bryan and Monica Ford. She was born 1746 in St. Mary's County, Maryland, and died Aft. 1789 in Nelson County, Kentucky. I never did buy the Monica Ford marriage to Henry Bryan....glad I never changed my records (LDR). And, of course, Philip and Eleanor named a daughter Monica. There is no one document that proves the marriage of the two. Linda Reno ----- Original Message ----- From: "K.
