from "History of Lorain County"
George Bryant was born at Stanley, Gloucestershire, England, and is the eldest of a family of six children of John and Pamelia (Collins) Bryant, of Gloueestershire, who emigrated to this country in company with his brother's family and others in the year 1829, landing in New York on the 29th day of November of that year. They went from New York to Philadelphia, at which latter place they remained until April, 1830, when they returned to New York, and proceeded thence up the Hudson River to Albany, in a packet commanded by Captain Littlejohn. At Albany they took passage on the Erie Canal, and after a week's travel arrived at Buffalo. After a sojourn of a few days in the then infant Lake city, they embarked on the schooner "Young Lion," bound for Sandusky, where they landed in the early days of May, 1830. From Sandusky they proceeded to Norwalk, and on the 8th day of October, just one year from the time of leaving their home in the old country, they settled in the present town of Amherst, and one year later purchased the farm now owned and occupied by George Bryant, whose name heads these lines.
On the 5th of January, 1837, Mr. Bryant married Adeline Lodoisk, daughter of Adinirum Webb and Deidamia Moore, of English ancestry, though Americans by birth. This marriage was blessed with eight children, of whom five are living, namely: Mary D., vife of JamesRedford, of Hays City, Kansas ; George 1117., married Sarah Howard, lives near the old homestead; Parlnclia C., wife of George Camp, of Laport, Lorain Co., Ohio ; Elmer C., married
Hannah Kelley, and resides in South Amherst; Charles C. lives with his parents; Ellen T., wife of Darius Plumb, she died May 10, 1863; Fernando D., died Feb. 18, 1841; Dorliska, died Sept. 11, 1841.
Soon after his marriage Mr. Bryant commenced clearing land, and cleared ninety-one acres on the farm now owned by Lyman Cole. On the 16th of February, 1865, he moved on to the farm he at present occupies, and has continued to improve it ever since. He now has a well-cultivated and productive farm, upon which are comfortable buildings. He is one of the pioneers of Lorain County, and a good practical farmer. He is now sixty-four years of age, and his wife is sixty-two, and they have lived together forty-two years.
In the year 1836, John Bryant, father of the subject of this sketch, erected a residence on the present site of that in which the latter now resides, and while on his way from Pittsburgh, whither he had gone to purchase windows and doors, the house was destroyed by fire. He rebuilt in 1837 the house now occupied by his son George.
Mrs. Bryant is a member of the Congregational Church of Amherst, with which she formerly united in 1864. Mr. Bryant is a man of great personal integrity and general worth, and a firm believer in moral manhood. Himself and wife are both liberal supporters of all enterprises tending to the public good or the advancement of the community in which they have lived so long, and in which they are so highly respected and esteemed.
