Would anyone on the list be able to advise me as to the approximate location of the "plantation" of Samuel Bryan(the noted Loyalist leader from Rowan during the RW)? I have only a vague note that it was along the Yadkin River. If anyone has a good idea, I have a follow-on question to add: how close was Samuel Bryan's plantation to Potts Creek?? Thanks, Larry
