Mary Bryan Chapter DAR

National Society Daughters of the American Revolution

Greenwood, Johnson County, Indiana

Organized February 2, 1979

Our chapter was named for Mary Hunt Bryan (1759-1842), daughter of Isabell Hampton and Jonathan Hunt, who was a Company Commander and a member of
the Safety Committee in Rowen County, North Carolina during the Revolutionary War. In 1775, Mary married Samuel Bryan, son of William Bryan and Mary Boone
(sister of Daniel). Samuel Bryan served in the Revolution from South Carolina. The Bryans had 11 children. They followed a son to Indiana in 1830 and bought
land near what is now Southport. Mary and her Revolutionary War soldier husband are buried in Pioneer Cemetery on Southport Road in Marion County, Indiana.
Our chapter is named after a Real Daughter (distinction of honor given to DAR members whose fathers were patriots in the Revolutionary War) of the American Revolution.

Any woman 18 years of age or older, regardless of race, religion or ethnic background, who can
prove lineal descent from a patriot of the American Revolution is eligible for membership.
