[Bourbon County]  [Flat Rock Precinct]

WM. F. BRYAN, farmer; P. O. Plum Lick; the youngest of three living
children born to Jas. H. and Amanda (Johnson) Bryan; she a daughter of
one of the earliest settlers on Boone's Creek, and for a number of years
dead; James H., one of the wealthiest farmers in the county, still
living.  The early ancestry of this enterprising young man came from
Virginia, among the first settlers of this part of Kentucky, locating in
the wilderness with the wild beast and red man, doing their part toward
the civilization and improvement of this great country.  The subject of
this sketch received a very limited education, but possessing a high
degree of native ability, tact and energy, he has become one of the
prominent and rising young men of the vicinity in which he lives.  He
was born Sept. 4, 1854, and married Oct. 26, 1880, to Miss Florence
Talbott, daughter of Charles and Emma (Rice) Talbott, who were among the
early settlers in the vicinity of North Middletown.  By this marriage
there is one child, Emma, born Aug. 13, 1881.
