About William Iley Brian

U.S. Revolutionary War: Private in South Carolina Artillery (??)


From the diary of Solomon Morgan Brian, commencing June 1861, Evergreen Plantation, East Feliciana Parish, Louisiana:

My grandfather, William Brian, emigrated from Ireland to America early in the 18th century and settled in South Carolina on. the Great Pedee River and he there married a widow Crocker, whose maiden name was Williamson, originally from North Carolina, and they had four children born unto them - Hardy, William, Francis, and Sara, and they all married and raised families.


In 1754 Jul 21 William Brian or Bryant marries Sarah Jane (Williamson) Crocker, Peter Crocker's widow and the sister of his neighbor (and probably friend) Francis Williamson. 10 months later, their first child, Hardy Bryant/Brian is born in Darlington Co., SC. Hardy was likely named for Sarah's brother, Hardy Williamson.
