The Bryants of the Texas Gulf Coast




  The BRYANT patriarch  was born in North Carolina USA  sometime in the early 1800's. 



The unknown female BRYANT ancestor was born in Virginia USA, also sometime in the early 1800's.

Alfred BRYANT was born about 1825 in Tennessee USA. He died in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas USA. Alfred married Harriet.
 On the 1880 federal census, Alfred's surname is spelled without the final "t."


Harriet was born about 1830 in North Carolina USA. She died  in Corpus Christi, Nueces County, Texas USA.


They had the following children:

Guy BRYANT was born Oct 1860 in Texas USA. He died between 1910 and 1920 in Rockport, Aransas County, Texas USA. Guy married Maria MARTIN on 28 Jun 1882 in Rockport, Aransas County, Texas USA.  In the official marriage records of Aransas County, volume 1, page 84, Guy's surname is spelled without the final "t."  Maria's surname is given as "Pane," suggesting that she may have been married previously. This is particularly likely since (1) Guy and Maria were married two years after Ike was born; and (2) the 1910  federal census indicates Ike's surname is Pane.


Maria MARTIN was born Jun 1861 in Indianola, Calhoun County, Texas USA. She died after 1910 in Rockport, Aransas County, Texas USA.

Her name was pronounced "muh-RYE-uh." Her father was an African named Isaac Martin who came to Texas from Georgia; her mother was an Indian, likely Choctaw from Mississippi, named Amanda. Isaac Martin was a brick mason.

They had the following children:

 
M i Isaac Pane BRYANT  "Ike" was probably not Guy Bryant's son. See above. Although the 1910 Census gives his surname as "Pane," Ike listed his name as "Bryant" on his draft registration card in 1918.
