Life

Edward J. Bryant was born in Coosa County, Alabama, on 2 April 1849, according to the FamilySearch tree, which gives no source for the date and records no parents for him.1 The federal censuses of 1860 and 1870 listed him, by his initials "J E," in the household of J. J. Bryant, in the southern division of Coosa County and then at Nixburg; his sister Mary A. Bryant was in the same household.2 Inference J. J. Bryant was probably their father, though the index entries in hand do not state the relationship.2 His names appear in both orders: J. E. in 1860, 1870 and at his marriage, "E. John" in 1880, and Edward J. from 1910, while Find a Grave indexes him as Edward John Bryant.3

On 1 December 1870 J. E. Bryant married M. A. R. McKinney, Mary Ann Rebecca McKinney, a daughter of Eli Harris McKinney of Coosa County.4 Two months later his sister Mary A. Bryant married her brother, Eli Harris McKinney Jr.5 The census of 1880 listed E. John Bryant's household at Nixburg, Coosa County, with his wife Mary A.6 The tree names six children: Ocie Tillman (1874–1954), Album Tommy (1876–1902), Ulysus Harris (1881–1959), Cecil Beadie (1885–1960), a twin of Cecil who died in 1885, and Eli Edward Bryant (1889–1936).7 The family moved to Texas, where the census of 1900 listed "Eddy Briant" in Justice Precinct 5 of Eastland County, and in 1910 the census found Edward J. Bryant at Gorman, Eastland County.8 In 1920 he and his wife were living in the household of their son Ulys H. Bryant in Precinct 29 of Dallas County.9 Edward J. Bryant died at Gorman on 9 October 1923 and was buried there.10 His widow died in 1936.11 The Texas death records of his sons Eli Edward (1936), Ocie Tillman (1954) and Ulysus Harris Bryant (1959) name him as their father.12
