Peter, Joshua, Thomas, James, Stewart, and William Bryan

    Peter Bryan was almost certainly Peter H. Bryan, son of
    Thomas C. Bryan Sr. and Nancy Cate.  He was 32 years old
    when the war started.

    The only Joshua Bryan in my data base is Joshua C. Bryan,
    son of Peter H. Bryan and Mary Ann (Polly Ann) Cate.
    Joshua C. Bryan was three years old when the war started.
    Hence, the identity of this Joshua Bryan is a mystery.

    It is unlikely that Thomas Bryan was Thomas C. Bryan Sr.
    because he would have been too old.  His son Thomas C. Bryan
    Jr. was twenty-five years old when the war started, so it
    could be him.  Another possibility is Thomas G. Bryan, son
    of William Bryan and Lucinda (Lucy) Cate.  Thomas C. Bryan Jr.
    and Thomas G. Bryan were double first cousins, and it is known
    that Thomas G. Bryan served in the Civil War.  Thomas G. Bryan
    was a Captain, a prisoner at Vicksburg, and was bushwhacked on
    his way home and was killed.  However, Thomas G. Bryan's
    parents removed to McMinn County shortly after Thomas was born.
    So it seems more likely that Thomas G. Bryan would be listed
    as serving from McMinn County than from Sevier County.

    James C. Bryan, son of William Bryan and Lucinda (Lucy) Cate is
    a possibility for James.  He was 33 years old at the beginning
    of the war, but was more likely living in McMinn County or
    Bradley County than Sevier County at the onset of the war.
    However, I can't find a James Bryan from Sevier County that looks
    like a good candidate.

    The only Stewart Bryan I have in my data base from Sevier County
    was George Stewart (Stewart) Bryan, son of Peter H. Bryan and
    Mary Ann (Polly Ann) Cate.  This Stewart was born five years after
    the war was over.  However, his name might offer a hint.  Perhaps
    Stewart was Allen S. Bryan, son of Allen S. Bryan Jr. and Elizabeth
    Underwood.  Allen S. Bryan III was born about 1838, which is the
    correct age to have fought in the Civil War.  Perhaps his middle
    name was Stewart and perhaps like George, he went by his middle name.
    Peter H. Bryan's granduncle was Peter S. Bryan Sr., and if the "S"
    was for "Stewart", the name would have been well established in the
    family.

    William Bryan, son of William Bryan and Lucinda (Lucy) Cate was the
    correct age to have fought in the Civil War.  But as with the rest
    of the family, he would have been in McMinn County or Bradley County
    rather than Sevier County.  Similar comments apply to William Bryan,
    son of Pleasant Bryan and Mary (Polly) Rucker.  Dr. William M. Bryan
    was born in 1819, son of Allen S. Bryan Sr. and Elizabeth McSpadden.
    I think he would have been in Sevier County when the war broke out.
