Notes for Hester (Spouse 1)
1st wife of Joseph Bryan
Notes for Alice [Aylee, Alee] (Spouse 2)
Alice??
aka: Aylee (Alee) Linville
*Alyee could not have been William Linville's daughter because they were contemporaries and the Bryan researcher (John K. Bryan in Schenectady, NY) thinks she was not Rebecca's mother, but more likely Joseph Bryan married Alyee right after Rebecca's birth. Alyee was likely (no definitive proof, just fascinating circumstantial evidence) daughter of John Linville, who was also father of William (killed at Linville Falls, NC), Thomas (original settler in Belews Creek area) and John (who lived in Frederick County, VA and on the Tyger River (originally called Linville River) in South Carolina.
