Bryan was born in Martin County, North Carolina and attended grammar and high school there. After he moved to Tennessee, he held several local offices.[1] He married Elizabeth Ann Averett, daughter of Jesse Averett and Mary Grimes, in 1804.[2]
Bryan was elected as a Democratic-Republican to the Sixteenth Congress, which lasted from March 4, 1819 to March 3, 1821.[3] Although he had been re-elected to the Seventeenth Congress, he did not take the seat because he did not qualify.
Bryan was a member of the Freemasons. He died in Montgomery County, Tennessee, on May 7, 1835 (age 49 years, 73 days). The location of his interment is unknown.[4] His brother, Joseph Hunter Bryan, was also a U.S. Representative from the state of North Carolina.
