There was trouble last week reaching the RootsWeb site from much of the country, especially through the AOL ISP. You have done your homework, so I shall add what I can: The references in my website to BRYANT include about twenty people named BRYANT, and include all three you pointed to. Elihu Bryant, 1844-1923 ODI: 3 Mar 1923. 1880 Census: Wife= Mary C. DAR shows: "Elizabeth Stout d. 3 Mar 1923" - - - - Zephaniah Bryant, 3 Nov 1832 - 16 Jan 1903 [Same stone as Luvina Bryant] - - - - - Luvina Bryant, 6 June 1840 - 15 Jan 1903 [Same stone as Zephaniah Bryant] ------------- The Bryant Cemetery is administered by City of Clatskanie; records begin 1878 Omar J. & Margaret J. Bryant dedicated Cedar Hills Cemetery on 12 May 1905. (Source: Dedication in Col.Co. Oregon Deed book 4:638) Cemetery was deeded to City of Clatskanie in 1967 by the Bryant family. Compiler of this record is Clarissa Meyer of Clatskanie. She may be the one in phone book as CJ Meyer - no adx, (503) 728-4645. If she is the right one, you might let us know.
