About Mary B. VanHoose (Bryan)
Mary Bryan Vanhoose has not been validated to be the daughter of Mary Bryan & Captain William Bryan, I, either with paper trail or DNA.
A group of about 200 descendants have been working in a Facebook group for about 3 years trying both paper trail and DNA to confirm her parents but we have not yet found them. The Boone Society does not recognize Mary Bryan Vanhoose as the daughter of Mary Boone & William Christopher Bryan. The reason so many people have them listed as her parents in their trees is due to it being published in a book that had no sources. Per the Boone Society, the Mary Bryan that is the daughter of Mary Boone and William Christopher Bryan married Joseph Ingels.
Per Biography of the Van Hoose Family by George W. Van Hoose, written about 1901, Mary Bryan who married Col. John Van Hoose was the daughter of William Bryan. Mary's siblings were John, William, Owen and a sister whose first name is not listed.. This sister married a Rector and "moved West somewhere". He also stated that Mary's brother Owen "had a daughter who married a Mr. Ramey and they named one of their sons Owen, after his grandfather Owen Bryan. Owen had a large family of descendants in Washington County, Arkansas." See attached document for additional details.
I am still working on using DNA to confirm her parents. Dianne Marie Dearring

From Wikitree Disputed Parents Ancestry has Mary Boone (and husband William Bryan) as the mother of Mary (Bryan) Van Hoose, but research indicates that her mother was not Mary Boone & is as yet unknown. Source: postings at link for Bryan Research (Yahoo group) on Mary (Bryan) Ingles profile page.
The postings on that message board include a posting by Gena Miklos on 23 February 2009 which states that she received an email from a fellow researcher which stated the following information: "My sister and I contacted a Boone & Bryan family historian and this is what she had to say: I cannot help you with your Mary Bryan, however the often circulated myth that Mary Bryan daughter of of William Bryan and Mary Boone m. a Vanhoose is just that. You can check the Bryan family Bible at Duncan Tavern Museum in Paris KY, and Mary Bryan (dau) was born January 7, 1777, thus would only be 12 years old at the time of the Bryan/Vanhoose marriage. None of the Bryan/Boone children married at 12. There are also records of the Mary Bryan/Ingles marriage in Campbell County, KY, which you could also use to verify. Sorry, but that one should be put to rest. I do not know which Mary Bryan m. a Vanhoose, but it was not the daughter of William & Mary Boone Bryan. There were several other Bryan lines in VA at that time, perhaps it is one of them. In 1789, Mary Boone Bryan and her remaining children were firmly ensconsed in KY. Wish I could help more, as I'd love to be able to help place your Mary. (a note from a Bryan researcher) "This myth is nearly impossible to put to rest. I have no doubt that one Mary Bryan married a Van Hoose, but IT WAS NOT THE DAUGHTER OF MARY BOONE AND WILLIAM BRYAN. You are correct that their daughter Mary Bryan (according to the bible, no middle name; but was called Mary Bryan, Jr.) married Joseph Ingels/Ingles in 1796 in Pendleton Co., KY. Their daughter Mary Bryan was born in 1777, according to the Mary Boone Bryan Bible at Duncan Tavern Museum, Paris, KY. Mary Boone Bryan's grandson Joseph, s/o Daniel, said that his aunt Mary Jr. married Ingels; a man named William Chambers, who married an Ingels granddaughter of Mary Jr, wrote to Draper .... I am 100%+ confident that the daughter of Mary Boone and William Bryan, their only girl named Mary was born in 1777 and she married Joseph Ingels, who was half-brother to her sister Eliz.'s Bryan Dehart's husband. (both men were sons of Catherine Boone d/o Joseph Boone, Jr.) Rebecca B. (Grant) Lemond told Draper that her aunt Mary Boone Bryan's daughter Mary married Ingels." The possibility of her surname being O'Bryan and not BRYAN has been put forth: "George Van Hoose, Mary's grandson, said Mary's dad was "a" William Bryan and Mary had a brother named Owen. Now I knew most of my great-grandparents (my great-great-grandmother lived with me!) and I for sure knew all my grandparent's siblings so I'm guessing George ought to know. And Owen Bryan isn't a name found very often. He should be a good clue to use to trace. George also mentioned that Mary and Owen had a sister who "married a Rector". So, I started looking in each and every county that John and Mary VanHoose were reported to have lived in at one time or another and the counties surrounding these counties for an Owen Bryan. What I found was an Owen Bryan who married a Patience Rector in Washington County, Virginia. Owen's last name was spelled in various ways depending on the record but for the marriage record found in Washington County Virginia he spelled it "O'Brient. He and Patience married 5-15-1806. I went on to find Owen's father-in-law's marriage record: Bennet Rector m. Sally Bryant 3/2/1808 (2nd wife). Notice Sally spelled her name different. So, Patience's dad took for his second wife Owen's sister. Bennet and Owen appear in records in TN together. I think its fair to say that they are in-laws to each other after looking at the information. The other interesting part to their tale is that their descendants followed the same path to Washington County Arkansas as George VanHoose's parents. And Owen's and his sister's descendants married into the same families as our Arkansas Van Hoose families." Biography Mary Bryan was born in North Carolina in 1766[1] In 1788, she married John VanHoose in Montgomery County, North Carolina, and they had at least one child: Levi. Mary (Bryan) VanHoose died on January 28, 1847, in Kentucky.
