Thomas Nelson "Tom" Bryant was a son of Ananias Bryant and Sarah Sisk of the English Creek Community, Cocke County, Tenn. He was a great-grandson of Tarlton Bryant, the first Bryant to settle in Cocke County (coming from South Carolina around 1805).
In 1904, Tom married Dollie Allen, daughter of James Allen and Matilda Finchum. Tom and Dollie lived at the Bryant home place on English Creek, which was owned at that time by James Breeden and his wife Cordelia, Tom's sister.
Tom died of pneumonia in 1926, leaving 8 children ages 2-19. Dollie died 5 years later.
Three of Tom's brothers, Addison, Judd and Lee, moved to Missouri. His other brothers were Daniel, Taylor, Joe and Elbert. His sisters were Lucinda (Mrs. Isaac Clevenger), Julia (Mrs. Luther Acton) and Cordelia (Mrs. Jim Breeden).
