Andrew Bryan appears on several occasions in the Diary of Dorothy Farnham Smith. Below are some letters that have survived by Bryan as well as some other early Baptist Black figures in Savannah and Jamaica who knew and worked with Bryan before and during the time that Mrs. Smith stayed in Savannah in 1793. These letters provide interesting insights into the life of Bryan and these other men, as well as important information about the early formation of the First African Baptist Church in Savannah and the Baptist work in Jamaica, both initially instigated and led by George Liele (c. 1750-1828). The intial letter (from 1741) mentions the Bethesda Orphanage as well as Jonathan Bryan and the early revival on his plantation among the black enslaved persons, the forerunners of those who, along with Liele and Andrew Bryan, would lead to the formation of the First African Baptist Church in Savannah.  Anne Dutton's letter to Philip Doddridge was written shortly after the publication of her Letter to the Negroes lately Converted to Christ in America. And Particularly to those, lately called out of Darkness, into God’s Marvellous Light, at Mr. Jonathan Bryan’s in South Carolina.
