William Bryan was a stationer of Mark Lane 1784 to 1787 ( perhaps the William son of Thomas Bryan bapt 11.5.1755 St Chad Shrewsbury) His son William was born 8.11.1787 Kennington Lane Lambeth when he was described as a copperplate printer and witnesses to the birth were Elizabeth Cobbing and Dorothy Boyles (who was shortly to  marry Samuel Cobbing). According to John Wright's A Revealed Knowledge of Some Things (1794) Bryan was at 51 Upper Marylebone St by October 1788 and his children were baptised there in 1790 and 1792, in which year Elizabeth Cobbing, presumably his mother-in-law was buried from that address, all in Quaker records. In 1795 when he was involved with the prophet Richard Brothers he was said to have rejected the Quakers but his daughter Mary born at St Stephens Walbrook on 29.8.1797 was recorded in the Quaker records. It was probably his daughter Elizabeth Bryan dau of William Bryan of Reading who married John Burtt in a Quaker ceremony in 1813 at Reading, and his wife Elizabeth died 21.7.1820 age about 64 buried 26.7.1820 at Hoddesdon still in Quaker records. According to an Ancestry user-submitted tree he was the William Bryan merchant aged 62 who arrived at New York 27.6.1822 on ship Hannibal from Liverpool and who died in 1832. He had presumably gone to join his son Elijah 1790-1868 a prominent dentist in USA who had emigrated in 1812. There was a Thomas Cobbing shoemaker son of Samuel, bricklayer, & Elizabeth Cobbing of Coggeshall who died 3.11.1777 age abot 21. Samuel (born c. 1763?), Mary & Elizabeth (born c.1756) were presumably his siblings
