Notes
From https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/167731721/hardy-brian
HARDY BRIAN died July 31, 1813 at his farm in East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana. He was buried in the WHITE family Cemetery on the land once owned by ELI WHITE. The family cemetery is located about five miles north of JACKSON, Louisiana. The tombstone read:
- Our Father,
- HARDY BRIAN
- May 20, 1755
- July 31,1813
- A Servant to His Lord
There is no tombstone standing today in the WHITE Cemetery that bears his name. Miss TALLULAH ARBOUR,the granddaughter of ERASTUS FRANCIS BRIAN,records the following information about HARDY BRIAN’s death. “My grandfather, ERASTUS FRANCIS BRIAN, was born on the Evergreen Plantation. He inherited a share of the land after his father’s, SOLOMON MORGAN BRIAN, death. He later purchased the remainder of the land from the other heirs, My grandfather told me that his sister, MEHITIBEL BRIAN , had married ELI WHITE and they set up a large m farm near the BRIAN farm in East Feliciana Parish. After the death of her father, MEHITIBEL BRIAN WHITE insisted that HARDY BRIAN be buried in the WHITE Family Cemetery near his friend JOHN WHITE, who had made the journey with HARDY BRIAN from South Carolina. He also told my mother that this was one of the few cemeteries that had been established in the area, thus the reason he was buried in the WHITE family cemetery, I do not know what happened to the tombstone. Some have said that is was made of wood, others say that it was destroyed, but my mother told me what was inscribed on the tombstone.”
