Note: Bryan's headstone reads "1906" but there are Estate papers dated 1904 whereby Jennie, widow, gets a judgment against her brother Charles Swan, executor of her husband's estate dated Dec. 6, 1904.

Note: Have not been able to find any record of Henry after the 1850 census. And interestingly, his name does not appear on the memorial sister Jennie had created for her parents and siblings. Henry must have died before Jennie's birth (1856), thus did not remain in her memory.
