THOMAS BRYARLY was born circa 1721 to Robert Bryarly & Margaret (Maiden Name Unknown).
Thomas Bryarly is said to have immigrated from England to Baltimore County, Maryland then to Harford County, Maryland. He purchased 815 acres of Virginia land from Bayliss & Poly Earle on 07 December 1774. This was the site upon which he built Walnut Grove using bricks that he kilned himself and laid on a stone foundation. Originally, it was a two room center hall plan with 18 inch thick walls. Later the house was enlarged to nine rooms each with a fireplace in every room. Thomas brought a grandfather clock with him from England, and it is said to have been in the family since 1724. It remained in the family until 2008 when it was sold at an estate auction. The "Walnut Grove" plantation he built in 1778 still stands today, and there is a black & white photo of the home in the book:
Farland, Mary Gray & Greenhalgh, Beverly Byrd, 1979, "In the Shadow of the Blue Ridge, Clarke County 1732-1952," p. 122.
I took the color photo of Walnut Grove in 2010 after it was placed on the realestate market for sale.
Thomas made patriotic contributions through Material Aid during the American Revolution. He gave 3000 lbs of hay to the American Troops, 2 horses, and 907lbs of beef to feed the troops.
Thomas married Anne Tate on 11 Feb 1752 at St. John's Church in Baltimore Co, Maryland. Thomas named four children in his Last Will & Testament:
Mjr. Richard William Bryarly (1752-1829),
Robert Bryarly (1753-1828),
Mary S. Bryarly-Kerfoot, and
Richard Samuel Bryarly (1767-1850).
Thomas' Will was proved on 3 March 1792, and is held at the Frederick County Courthouse, Will Book 5, Pages 350-352. His grandson, Tate Bryarly documents him as passing away on 24 December 1791. Family records state he was buried on the Walnut Grove plantation in the Bryarly Family cemetery.
