Have any of you ever seen or heard that Rachel WILCOXSON, daughter of John WILCOXSON and Sarah BOONE (d/o Squire and Sarah MORGAN BOONE) was married prior to her marriage to William BRYANT? Received a letter recently from a fellow in California who had seen some of my records I left at KY Hist Soc and wanted my comments on the idea that - 1. William BRYANT was born 1754 in NC not 1739 2. That Marriage in 1784 would say they waited seven years before their first child - Jeremiah born Aug 1791 in SC 3. He believes marriage was in Fairfield Co. SC in Oct 1790 4. Rachel was first married to ___???___ Milar in 1778. 5. Rachel and Unknown Milar had 2 childrenm James Milar (m. Henrietta Jett) and Rachel Milar (m. Stephen Jett) He further says "Rachel Wilcoxson's first marriage to Unknown MILAR about 1778 in NC. They moved to SC. Unknown MILAR was killed 1789 by Indians. Unknown MILAR and William BRYANT had similar experiences, involving D.Boone and were probably good friends. "William Bryant went to SC to tell Rachel of the death of her husband and stayed to help on the farm and in October 1790, Rachel married William Bryant in Fairfield Co. SC. Stayed in SC until 1796 and moved to BRiant's Station, Fayette Co. KY. Shortley after the marriage of Rachel's daughter Rachel MILAR to Stephen JETT the BRYANT family moved to MO. "All children of the BRYANT marriage were born between 1791-1802." Have you ever heard such a story? Most of my info has been copied from others and I have not yet proven my facts myself. Any help will be appreciated. Norma Nyberg [email protected]
