Amanda E Bryant 1842 – 1862
Highley Bryant 1845 – 1846
Jane F Bryant 1848 – 1849
James Bryant 1850 – 1851
Governor Allen Bryant 1855 – 1917
Melissa Bryant 1857 – 1858
He married Jamima Ardene Leach on 23 Oct 1870 in Carroll Co., TN. They had 2 girls and 4 boys and they are:
Hattie Bryant 1870 –
Giles Marshall "Landy" Bryant 1872 – 1951
James Amos "Jake" Bryant 1876 –
Bannie Kelon Bryant 1877 – 1906
David Martin Bryant Sr. 1880 – 1968
John Crockett Bryant Jr. 1882 – 1941
Jamima died apparently in childbirth of John C., Jr., in May, 1882. John then married Nancy Jane Aslin 26 Dec 1882 in Gibson Co., TN. They had 2 boys and 2 girls and they are:
William Cleveland Bryant 1884 –
Letitia "Tishey" Bryant 1889 –
Thomas Austin Bryant 1892 –
Mamie Bryant 1895 –
John Crockett Bryant, Sr., started the J. C. Bryant Creamery in Austin, TX. By 1892, the Bryant's had moved from Gibson Co., TN to Austin, Travis Co., TX where they pursued the creamery business. John and at least one of his brother's worked in the creamery business with Giles Marshall Bryant working in TN as the proprietor of a creamery. The Austin creamery changed it's name from The King Sanitary Creamery to the J. C. Bryant Creamery I believe in 1919. This appears to be the year J. C. Bryant Creamery began and it appears he bought an established business and changed the name but this is from sketchy records that only show year and name change. The family would make Austin their home for next several generations. I found evidence of a Cookbook for the Creamery that was published circa 1920's. It was called "A Cookbook For The Modern Homemaker". It showed recipes using "more milk" in the diet. It's said that it was Austin's first cookbook but I have no proof other than the article I found. I also found an article where John has the champion bull in the Central Texas State Fair in 1919. This was one of his bulls from his heard of Jersey Cattle. John and Nancy moved from TN to TX between 1883 and 1900 so it was about 20 yrs. or more before John got his own business. From the research, he appears to have owned the creamery with his own cows and was a successful dairyman. Nancy would precede him in death by about 6 years and John then lived with his son David until his death in 1924. John is my 1st cousin, 4X removed.
Rest peacefully J.C.......
