John Neely Bryan

Yeah, so back to the TSBD.

Originally, the land originally belonged to John Neely Bryan, the founder of Dallas.

And in 1894, the Rock Island Plow Company purchased the land from him.

Wait, what does the founder of Dallas mean?

are also other things to find.

My wife is a direct descendant of John Neely Bryan, who's the founder of Dallas, Texas.

Yeah.

And his cabin's in the middle of the city, and there are all these stories about... um about um de brienne was the family he was from and he was french and he told all of these stories about where he was from but it turned out he was like descended from irish immigrant paupers who had little it had no relationship to any of the stories that he told that he adopted those stories for his his own identity so the family had been telling itself for generations that they were french and there was no French in them at all.
