BRYSON CHRONOLOGY FROM 1755 TO 1855 - (taken from James L. Pauley Jr. and Wayne Bryson (1944___) Research)

It is sometimes helpful in understanding the picture of what happened historically in a given family to make a chronological listing of major events so as to put them in perspective. Here we do it for a portion of this branch of the Bryson family as they progressed from one location to another through a 100 year period, year by year. They were not all in the same location at the same time, which adds to the confusion. References are also made to a very few notable events of the time.

There was heavy immigration of Scotch-Irish from Pennsylvania into Virginia beginning about 1730. The Bryson family could have been part of this movement, or they could have come direct to Virginia from England or Ireland. (Joseph Bryson (1878-1963) always said the family came from Scotland.)

Tradition is that the family was living in western Virginia not far from the North Carolina border prior to about 1750, in what is now Wythe County. It was carved out of Montgomery County in 1789. They were probably farmers and salt miners.
