Information on this family from "Bryans, Hortons and Allied Families", by Elizabeth Cate Manly, 1978 and Censuses. 1840 Sevier County Tennessee Census, NA M704-535, Pg. 185, William E. 20-30, and another unknown male 20-30, 1 female 20-30, and 1 female 0-5. 1850 Sevier County Tennessee Census NA M432-895, Pg. 456, Family 990, William E. 35, Amanda 34, Mary 11, Margaret 7, Sarah 4, Martha 3, Margaret Ann Scruggs 20, John E.

Will of Thomas Bryan written 4 March 1867, "To my son William E. Bryan I will the lands or farm on which he now lives as surveyed to him with thirty acres additional on the South Side of my William Bryan entry by his paying to my Estate $400 in addition the the $100 heretofore paid." 1870 Sevier County Tennessee Census, NA 593-1559, Fair Garden, Dist. 8, Pg. 422, Family 153, Wm.

A.; Mary Drinnen; Sis Roberts; Nancy Nicholson; heirs of Lydia Tinsley; heirs of Eve Line (Eveline) Sanders and Ellen Cate $1.00 each after five years. (They were John and Will Sanders, Betty Reynolds, Lou Mount, Sallie Johnson and Joseph) William Enyard Bryan and Amanda Keener Marriage: about 1837,.46 The list of children differs slightly between Elizabeth Cate Manly and Roberta Pierson. William Jackson Bryan follows Elizabeth Cate Manly. The list of children from Roberta Pierson corresponds with census data, so I am going with Roberta Pierson. Elizabeth Cate Manly lists the first two children as Jane and Mary Ann. However, these seem to be the same child, namely Mary Jane who became the wife of Thomas Drinnen. Also, Roberta Pierson lists an additional daughter Lydia Ann V. who does appear in the census data. (RGB) Amanda Keener3,16,46,113,114,116,117, daughter of George T. Keener and Margaret Harris,. Birth: 19 March 1816, Tennessee.46,116 Her grave marker gives a birth date of 19 March 1819. But Amanda Keener's age at the 1850 census is listed as 34. I believe that the 1850 census is a more accurate indication of her year of birth than is her tombstone. RGB Census: 1830, Sevier County, Tennessee, Age 10-14, enumerated Household of her father George T Keener. Census: 1840, Sevier County, Tennessee, Age 20-29, enumerated Household of her husband William Enyard Bryan. Census: 1850, Sevier County, Tennessee, Amanda 34 f w TN.
