BRYANT – Bryant, Kissinger, Crow #11195: Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mill and Company, 1883, p. 843. Lincoln Co. W. B. Bryant, is a native of Lincoln county, Kentucky, where he was born June 7, 1831. He is a son of Edward G. Bryant, who was also a native of Kentucky. His mother’s maiden name was Catharine Kissenger, a sister of Hendley Kissenger, a well know and most excellent Christian gentleman of Calumet township. Edward and Catharine Bryant had eight children; viz., Margaret, Sarah, Patience, Hendley, Martha, W. B., and Georgia. The parents came to Missouri at an early day, and settled near Prairieville, but very soon thereafter moved to Ashley township, and located about two miles east of the town of the same name. Mr. Bryant’s early life was spent on the farm where he was engaged in laboring during the greater portion of the year and attending the common schools during a few months in the winter season. In 1861 he abandoned the farm for the store but after a short time again engaged in agricultural pursuits. He is at this time, however, a member of the firm of George Bryant & Brother, dealers in dry goods, groceries, etc., at Ashley, and are doing a large and prosperous business. The subject of our sketch was married in May, 1850, to Miss Mary Crow, daughter of John and Mary Crow, who were among the pioneers of Pike County. Six children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. W. B. Bryant, three of whom are living; viz., Mary C., Eveline, and John Bryant. Mrs. Bryant died in September, 1877. Mr. Bryant has been a member of the Christian Church for twenty-eight years, and is specially attentive to his Christian duties and obligations. He is also a member of the order of the Knights of Honor.
