Jane Henry was the wife of Tarlton Bryant. Jane and Tarlton raised their family in the early 1800s on a farm that saddled English Creek in the vicinity of the intersection present-day Bogard and Friendship roads. Their children were Eve (Hickey), Brummit, James Hardin, Aaron, Mary "Polly" (Hicks), William Morris and Levinia (Branch).
Jane died at a young age.

I, Gene Bryant, am a descendant of Tarlton Bryant and Jane Henry, grew up in the community where they lived, and attended elementary school (starting in 1946) little more than a "stone's throw" from where they are buried.
Jane was probably born in Virginia, but in the early 1790s the Henry family migrated from Virginia into what then was considered part of western North Carolina — before Tennessee became a state — in a community that became known as Jones Cove. Jane's father, according to Ancestry.com was Robert Lamar Henry. Her mother was Celia Fields. Jones Cove was located in what is now Sevier County, near the Cocke County line. This is roughly 10 miles (or less) from where Jane and Tarlton Bryant lived and raised their family. (Both are buried there.)
I've found it much more difficult to research my Henry ancestry than my Bryant. The elderly Bryants in my community when I was young seemed to know little about either but passed on the handed-down story that Jane was a descendant of the family that included Patrick Henry, the American founding father best known for his "Give me liberty, or give me death!" quotation from a speech leading up to the American Revolution. Genealogy researchers give credence to this lineage, but the family tree is difficult to document due to missing or hard-to-find data.
The Virginia Henrys were from the family of Scottish immigrant John Henry. John was Patrick's father, and Jane's father, William, appears to have been a descendent of one of Patrick's brothers. Their father John Henry, after studying law at Kings College at Aberdeneshire (Scotland), arrived in the Virginia colony in 1727 where he married and started his family.
A biography of Patrick Henry written by historian Richard R. Beeman provides some details of John Henry's family. John Henry married Sarah Winston Syme [1733], a wealthy widow of one of Henry's good friends. She, too, was from a prominent local family of English ancestry. Their first son was William; Patrick, their second. According to Beeman: "After Patrick was born, Sarah Henry gave birth another nine times, to seven girls and two more boys."
William was the father of three sons (John, William Jr. and George Austin) and a daughter.
I and other researchers are attempting to fill in and confirm the lineage gaps. If we are successful, this memorial can be updated and/or amended.
