NOTES: Mr. Bryan is for sure buried on what we call Bryan's Hill. This is located now on what is
called Hovis Bend Road, just North of the town of Coldwater, up the hollow North and where
Mr. Billy Hovis lives on the left side. The graves of several are buried on his lands west and up
the hill behind his place above the barn. Here 4 adults and two children are buried on these
lands. They are thought to be also the 1st Mrs. Bryan or Susan Shipp Bryan. It is also thought
that E.B.'s sister Rebecca is buried as well as E.B and Susans son William Lewis. Two infants
one thought to be Norris Bryan and the other the infant of E.B. and Margaret. The second Mrs.
Bryan removed to Limestone Co AL after 1900 and is buried in Old Salem Cemetery near her
daughters in AL.
