The settlement was established circa 1775-76 by brothers Morgan, James, William and Joseph Bryan from North Carolina. The occupants of this parallelogram of some forty log cabins withstood several American Indian attacks. The most important occurred in August 1782 during the American Revolutionary War, when they were besieged by about 300 Shawnee Indians and British Canadians under Captain William Caldwell and Simon Girty. The attackers lifted the siege after Indian scouts reported that a force of Kentucky militia was on the way. The militiamen pursued Caldwell's force but were defeated three days later at the Battle of Blue Licks, about 60 miles (100 km) northeast.

The Lexington chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution erected a monument in August 1896 to commemorate the importance of a nearby spring in helping preserve the fort from the attack by Indians and Canadians. The pioneer women, led by Mary "Polly" Hawkins Craig (wife of "Traveling Church" patriarch Toliver Craig, Sr.), fetched water from the spring to defend against the use of burning arrows by the attackers. If the fort had burned, the attackers could have reached the women and children sheltering there.

Located a couple of miles south of the fort's site, Bryan Station High School was named in its honor. The athletic teams compete under the name "Defenders".

Event: Fact Some researchers say Mary was born in Wales Note: A charcoal portrait of Polly (according to some) hangs in the DAR headquarters at Duncan's Tavern, in Paris, Kentucky. General J. P. Hawkins stated that Polly was buried with her son Elijah Craig, at Great Crossings Church in Scott County, Kentucky. The headstone has the inscription "Mother of the Many Faithful". The cemetery was destroyed.

Manoah and Sally Singleton are supposed to be buried in a cemetery marked only with field stones in a farm south west of the corner of Harrodsburg Road and Catnip Hill Road, which is in northern Jessamine County, Kentucky. The farm was once owned by "Fount Baker." Much of my Singleton data came from Hazel White, later she wrote me that she didn't do Singleton's any more, and that she gave her notes to Leonard
