      From margaret on May 14, 2016:
      Corrected birth date and birth place.
      **Previously had November 19, 1740 in Berks County, Pennsylvania.
      Corrected death date and death place.
      **Previously had October 6, 1780 in Clark County, Kentucky.

      From Annette Fullington on December 17, 2018:
      Hester Hampton born 1720 in Va. and died 19 Nov 1740 was the first wife of Joseph Bryan Sr. and the Mother of Rebecca Bryan and Martha Bryan who married Daniel and Edward Boone. Not Alice Lynville.

      From L. S. Stephens on January 18, 2019:
      Suggested birth date: November 19, 1740
      **Previously had this date before making the change per margaret's suggestion on May 14, 2016.
      Suggested birth place: Exeter Township, Berks, Pennsylvania.
      Suggested death date: July 23, 1793.
      **This was her probate date.
      Suggested death place: Clark County, Kentucky.
      **Previously had Clark County before making the change per margaret's suggestion on May 14, 2016.

      From janicet on May 1, 2020:
      "It has been determined by the DAR genealogists that they cannot verify the mother of any children of Joseph Bryan's born before 1755 (see Joseph Bryan's updated records in the DAR)."
      **Quaker Meeting Records-1681-1935 shows Martha Bryan's parents as Joseph and Alee (could be Alic -- maybe Alec).

      There seems to be a lot of different opinions about the dates and places for Martha Boone. If someone can provide the correct dates and places, I will be happy to make the changes. For now, I will leave them as they stand.

      On this memorial page when it was transferred to me:
      LDS reports she is buried at "Boone's Creek" Fayette CO., KY.

      If anyone has more/better information, please contact me.
