Bryan, 44, The following persons are named as composing the Grand and Petit Juries of the first Court, viz.: Henry Hughey, John McCulloch, James Hill, John Burnett, Samuel Bryant, John McDowell, James Lambath, Henry Dowland, Morgan Bryan, William Sherrill, William Morrison, William Linvil. 106, This Committee of Safety began its sessions, according to these Minutes, on the eighth of August, 1774, seventeen days before the assembling of the first North Carolina Provincial Congress. This committee was probably chosen at the time appointed for electing. members to the General Assembly of the Province, or it may have come into existence before that time in obedience to the wishes of the people. The members of the committee were chosen from all parts of this grand old county, and numbered twenty-five. The following is a list of their names: James M, McCay, Andrew Neal, George Cathey, Alexander Bobbins, Francis McCorkle, Matthew Icke, Maxwell Chambers, Henry Harmon, Abraham Denton, William Davidson, Samuel Young, John Brevard, William Kennon, George Henry Barringer, Robert Bell, John Bickerstaff, John Cowden, John Lewis Beard, John Nesbit, Charles McDowell, Robert Blackburn, Christopher Beekman, William Sharpe, John Johnson, and Morgan Bryan. 111, 112, When the Declaration of Independence had been made, and it was understood that they might soon be called to fight against the troops of England, the disaffected began to draw back, while the Whigs were for moving forward. In the Company from the forks of the Yadkin one of these st range scenes was once enacted. Captain Bryan of that Company was disaffected, while the lieutenant, Richmond Pearson, was a Whig. On the muster, a dispute arose upon political matters between these two officers, and the Company decided that this great national question should be decided by a fair fist-fight between the captain and the lieutenant, and that the Company should go with the victor. The fight came off in due time and manner, and Lieutenant Pearson succeeded in giving Captain Bryan a sound thrashing. The Forks Company after that became zealous Whigs, while the crowd from Dutchman’s Creek followed Captain Bryan and became Tories. Captain Pearson with his Company took the field against Lord Cornwallis as he passed through North Carolina. They were present at Cowan’s Ford on the first of February, 1781, when General Davidson fell. Captain Pearson was the grandfather of the Hon. Richmond M. Pearson, the distinguished Chief Justice of North Carolina for so many years. Captain Bryan became a confirmed loyalist, and was the notorious Colonel Bryan, who according to Dr. Caruthers, on the spur of the moment collected eight hundred Tories in the Forks of the Yadkin, and marched them off to Anson Courthouse to the British. While Colonel Fanning headed the Loyalists in the region of Deep River and the upper Cape Fear, and Colonels McNeil, Ray, Graham, and McDougal did the same for the region of the lower Caper Fear and Pee Dee, and Col. Johnson Moore, with Major Welch, and Captains Whitson and Murray, su stained the Loyalists’ cause in Lincoln, Burke, and Rutherford Counties, Colonels Bryan and Hampton, and Major Elrod were the Tory leaders of Rowan County. The chief field of their operations was the region called the Forks of the Yadkin. This was an extensive tract, lying between the main Yadkin and the South Fork, beginning at the junction of these two streams about five miles from Salisbury, called “The Point,” and extending from “The Point” northward and westward for a distance of forty or fifty miles. There Colonel Bryan ranged over plains and hills, through the Brushy Mountains, to the foothills of the Blue 112 HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY Ridge. He was connected with Colonel Fanning’s troop only in a general way, and does not seem to have been, like him, a cruel and bloodthirsty man. In 1781, Colonel Bryan headed his troop of Loyalists in the partisan warfare in South Carolina. He was under Major Carden, at the military post established by Lord Rawdon, at Hanging Rock, in South Carolina, in 1781. Major William B. Davie, of North Carolina, with his cavalry troop and some Mecklenburg militia, under Colonel Higgins, hastened to attack this post at Hanging Rock. As he was approaching he learned that three Companies of Bryan’s Loyalists were encamped at a farmhouse, on their return from a foraging expedition. He immediately went in search of them, and soon made a vigorous attack upon them in front and rear, completely routing them, and killing or wounding all of them but a few. The spoils of this victory were sixty horses and one hundred muskets. Major Davie, though an Englishman by birth, was a law student in Salisbury during the first years of the war. In 1779 he was elected Lieutenant in a troop of Horse raised in Mecklenburg and the Waxhaws, and was attached to Pulaski’s legion. He soon rose to the rank of Major; but being wounded in the battle of Stono, below Charleston, he returned to Salisbury and resumed his studies. In the winter of 1780 he again raised a troop of cavalry, and in the absence of any statement to the contrary we would naturally infer that his Company was raised in Rowan County, especially since Lieut. George Locke, of Rowan, was in it. It was with these troops, and the Mecklenburg militia, that he cut to pieces Colonel Bryan’s Companies at Hanging Rock. It was thus that our people were arrayed against each other in this terrible struggle for liberty. Colonel Bryan was afterwards tried by the Courts of North Carolina for disloyalty to his country, but no act of inhumanity was proved against him, and no charge was made out except that of being in arms against his country. >From the time that Lord Cornwallis left the lower Cape Fear, in the early part of 1775, until 1780, there were few if any British troops in North Carolina. But during all these four years the flower of the North Carolina soldiery were far from their homes in the north under General Washington, or in the South under General Lincoln, Gates, or othe r National Commanders.
