Contributed by Dr. James L. Reid, 730 Walnut Hill Road, Campobello, SC 29322 Source: The files of Mrs. Virginia Bryant Bedinger, formerly of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Contributor's Note: This record is published here with Virginia’s verbal permission given to me at the Rockhoppers Restaurant in Clemson, SC in 2003. Her source was a Family Data Summary list whereon the names of, order of, and dates of birth of the children had been copied by Constance Covington Bryant from a Bible at the home of Henry David Bryant of Murrayville Hall Co.), Georgia. The birth date of William Tolleson Bryant and the dates of death of him and of his wife were from the same source. The spellings “Brant” and “Bryant” are interchangeable; I have chosen to use the latter spelling of “Bryant”. I have presumed to correct some known misspellings, but I have left dates unchanged. The dates of death were rather incomplete. Additional dates and names by me ate indicated in square brackets. have made reference to the typescript book “The Bryants of Spartanburg” 1980), compiled by JENNINGS BLAND POPE. ----- WILLIAM T.
