Not Michael, but this outmigration looms largely in my Pitman, Israel, Taylor Ancestors in Lumberton/Robeson including my own family branch who migrated to another county within the state in the early to mid 20th century losing touch with most Robeson Relatives.
A great number of my Israel Ancestors moved to Sumter, Georgia in the 1830's all being listed in the 1840 Census where my cousin descendents remain until this day. Pit(t)mans and Taylor of course migrated with them.
Others went to Mississippi where I have found family branches from the 1840's and again after the War For Southern Indepencence which devastated economically many families who had no choice but to seek greener pastures elsewhere in places such as Texas, Indiana and Louisana.
Even today in the latest report on Outmigration in the United States Lumberton, North Carolina ranks third in the 25 largest Metropolitian Areas: See Report at:

which has a pdf which can be downloaded and saved for study.
Sam West's and that of the other members who produced the book "Our Heritage: Robeson County 1748-2002 has very detailed information on many of these migrations. The book unfortunately is out of print and can't be purchased or obtained for love or money, I know having tried repeatedly.
Perhaps you can visit the Robeson County Library which I had to do in order to find and document the many documents on dozens of members of my family in Robeson virtually copying half the book.
I haven't seen any of the Bryans. Hopefully, someone else on the Robeson Forum will respond with information.
Good Luck in your search.
