"The Boone Family; a Genealogical History"

(Reprinted, Genealogical Publishing, Baltimore, MD. 1974)
p65: "Mary Boone (Squire; George), born 3 Nov., (O. S.) or 14 Nov. (N. S.) 1736; died 1819,
aged 83. Married in Rowan Co., North Carolina, William Bryan (b. 1733; d. 7 May 1780), son of
Morgan and Martha (Strode) Bryan, and uncle of Rebecca Bryan, who married Daniel Boone.
After several years residence in N. C. where all of their children were born, they moved to
Kentucky, and settled at Bryan's Station, which William and his brothers founded. This station
was located on Elkhorn Creek, Fayette Co., near where the historic battle of Blue Licks took
place in Aug., 1782... Here on 7 May, 1780, William Bryan died from wounds received during
an encounter with Indians white hunting with a party on 1 May. It is said that Mary (Boone) Bryan
afterwards married Gen. Charles Smith, of Harrison Co., Ky., but some of her descendants deny
there was a second marriage."
