On cinthia's tomb he is listed as one of her children as are Willis, Allen, Levi, and Mary. Jesse b 1813, 1810, or 1817 md Sophia Ann Sanford. These three dates are from Mary Acker's notes. His tomb gives b 1813. He is buried in a different Bryant cemetery from his mother, as there are several in Cov. Co. I am desc from Willis and Nancy Phillips Bryant. All the children listed through Sarah Ann belong to Jesse and Sophia. Cinthia Bryant Phillips and charles Phillips had Rebecca and Piety Phillips. Cinthia's son she was pregant with (Levi Lewis)when John Lewis died must have married after the 1850 census as his first child was born in 1852. the rest from Joseph Bryant through Elizabeth Bryant are all children of Willis and Nancy Phillips Bryant. Willis and Nancy died young and the children were raised by Cinthia Bryant and Charles Phillips. By this time Charles Phillips had died too. I'm not sure who eliza bryant belongs too. Janet Smith
