James BRYSON settled and died in Sugar-Fork, Macon Co, NC. Andrew BRYSON settled in Cullowhee, Jackson Co, NC and William BRYSON settled in Henderson Co, NC." Albert Swain Bryson (1851-1900) (James H. Bryson 1818/Cornelia Siler - Andrew Bryson 1785/Margaret White - James Holmes Bryson 1740-50/Sarah Countryman - William Bryson 1720/Isabella Holmes)This history seems to have been written in the 1880's, based on the pre-stamped date on his company letterhead. Albert wrote this on his own stationary. This history is entirely accurate as far as I can tell. The only statement that has yet to be confirmed is that William Bryson's mother was a "Scotch woman". This is certainly possible, but we just haven't found any records of who his mother was, so there is no way to be sure yet. We also have not confirmed that William came from County Antrim, Ireland, but that is generally believed to be true, though far from proven.
