"Brian History" by Rev. William Preston (Bed) Brian gives father of Thomas as
Charles BRIAN, who emigrated from Ireland with two brothers in 1640.  Must be
wrong
From same book:  "Thomas BRIAN furnished the sawmill that sawed the lumber that
built the first Baptist Church at New Prospect.  Grandma Narcissus BRIAN gave
the pulpit Bible.  It was built in 1820.  Thomas BRIAN furnished a good bit of
the lumber to build the church but we do not know how much."  Also gives
birthyear as 1776.
