William BRYAN was born in 1734. He was born on 10 Mar 1734. He died in 1780. He died on 30 May 1780. The Road to the Bluegrass
Four Bryan brothers; of Irish and Danish descent-William, James, Samuel, and John-came to the Bluegrass region in 1779 and established Bryan's Station, one of Kentucky's earliest settlements. The Bryans, who came from a prominent North Carolina family, had accompanied Daniel Boone from the Yadkin Valley in North Carolina to Central Kentucky. Daniel Boone married Rebecca Bryan, niece of William Bryan. William Bryan, from whom the Waveland Bryans descended, married Mary Boone, Daniel Boone's sister. Hence the relationship between the Boones and the Bryans.
However, as early as September 1773, Daniel Boone, Squire Boone, James Morgan, James Sparks, and William Bryan started from North Carolina with the intention of establishing a fort on the Kentucky River. On October 19, 1773, they started across the Cumberland Gap and were ambushed by Indians. Six men were killed out of the party of five or six families and "forty well-armed men." Among the dead was James, one of Daniel Boone's sons. They decided to bury the dead and return to Virginia.
Two years later, the party set out again to Kentucky, along with William's entire family of 10 children, including Daniel Boone Bryan. They proceeded through the Cumberland Gap this time without incident. The Boones stopped at Boonesborough, which was built by the summer of 1775, while the Bryans proceeded farther north on Elkhorn Creek. Under William's leadership, they erected a stockade fort which they named Bryan's Station.
The Bryans were big; restless, ambitious, and adventure.-seeking people; rugged people who were not afraid of hardship. There is little doubt that the Bryans were leaders in the westward movement. Like other restless pioneers they were hungry for more land and greater adventure. Large numbers of the family migrated from Virginia to Bryan's Station in 1779 and 1780. Daniel Bryan, son of William and Mary Boone Bryan, described the settlement in a letter: "I came out in 1779 to make corn at Bryan's in order to make corn for my father to move his family there in 1779. The Station was commenced in a short time. Cabins were built, but not more then a half dozen. I think there were only four, but some of them were double cabins. The space between was stockaded... In the fall of 1780, after the attack on Marvin's and Ruddle's Stations, my mother returned from the troubles of Ky., to the troubles of N.C."
The Bryans, believing: they were on their own land at Bryan's Station, built a very strong fort intended for years at use. William, James, Joseph Morgan, George David, Samuel, and John Bryan all entered land in Tracts totaling approximately 13000 acres. However, they found that the land on which their fort and homes were built, and about 1000 surrounding acres had been entered in the name of Col. Preston of Virginia.
In the spring of 1780 after a very difficult winter, a party from the station set out to hunt for game. Half of the hunting party was led by William Bryan. This party was ambushed by Indians and in the fierce fight that followed, William was mortally wounded. The men carried him back to the fort and he died a few hours later.
The death of their beloved leader William Bryan, the knowledge that they were not the rightful owners of the land on which they had built their fort, coupled with the Indian attacks, so discouraged the entire settlement that many of the families decided to join the Bryans and return to North Carolina. Not a Bryan remained at the station after the mass exodus, and, although the entire party returned to Kentucky four years later, none of them lived at Bryan's Station. Gunsmith and Farmer
