Jerome Hamilton Bryan and Julia Emory were
both born in Sevier County about 1885. Julia was the daughter
of David Emory and
Modena A. Dewberry, but I do not know who Jerome's
parents were.
His 1950 death certificate listed both of his parents
as ";don't know".
He almost certainly was not one of mine, but neither
have I been able to connect him to the Franklin Bryan family
of Sevier County. My best guess is that Jerome was the son of
John Wesley Bryan and Mary Ann McNutt.
Mary Ann appears to have died before 1885 and John appears to have
remarried in 1885. If so, then the further best guess is that
Mary Ann died giving birth to Jerome, and that Jerome was raised by
relatives. John Wesley Bryan was the son of
David Anderson Bryan
and Frances (Fanny) Acuff, and David represents a third
and very small Bryan family in Sevier County.
-
Joseph Milton (Joe) Bryan
was the great grandson of
William Bryan and Lucy Cate.
William was the brother of my fourth great grandfather
Thomas C. Bryan Sr.,
and Lucy was the sister of my fourth great grandmother
Nancy Cate.
The children of William and Lucy were
the double first cousins of the children of
Thomas
and
Nancy.
William and Lucy moved to McMinn County after they
were married in Sevier County. Joe or one of his ancestors must
have made their way back up to the Knoxville area. Joe's
wife was Meta Mae (Mae) Smallin.
Joe and Mae were each about 49 years old in 1929.
-
Julia Emory Bryan was the wife
of the aforementioned Jerome Hamilton Bryan.
She appeared in the entry for Jerome as his wife, and also appeared
a second time here separately. I believe she appeared a second time
because the City Directory got information both from door to door
canvassing and also from employers. Julia was the daughter
of David Emory and Modena A. Dewberry.
-
Rachel Louise (Lou) McMahan was the widow of
William Braxton Bryan who died in 1924.
William was the son of Franklin Bryan and
Susannah Compton of Wear's Valley in Sevier County,
which was not
my line. Lou was the daughter of John Calvert
McMahan
and
Dicy Waters Ault.
-
Mary Amanda Bryan was the daughter of
Thomas Allen (Allen) Bryan
and
Ida Bell Cate. Mary married Charles
Lafayette Logan on 23 Dec 1930 in Knox County.
Allen was the son of William Enyard (Enyard) Bryan and
Amanda Keener, and the grandson of my fourth
great grandfather
Thomas C. Bryan
and
Nancy Cate.
As such, Enyard Bryan was the brother of my
third great grandfather
Peter H. Bryan,
Allen was the first cousin of my second grandfather
William Allen (Will) Bryan, and
Mary Amanda was the second cousin of my great grandfather
William Harley (Harley) Bryan.
Ida was the daughter of
Elisha Porter Cate Jr.
and
Mary Jane Drinnen,
the granddaughter of Elisha Cate
and
Mary Elizabeth Newman. Elisha
Cate was the son
of John Cate Jr. and the grandson of
fifth great grandparents
John Cate Sr.
and
Mary.
Mary Elizabeth Newman was the daughter of
Joseph Newman
and
Catherine (Caty) Cate and the granddaughter of
my fifth great grandparents
William P. Cate
and
Mary Enyard. With
Two different Cate lines for Ida Bell Cate,
the relationship gets messy
to describe.
John Cate Jr.
was the brother of my fourth great grandfather
Joshua Cate
and Caty Cate was the sister of my
fourth great grandfather
Nancy Cate.
As far as I know, these
two Cate lines do not have common ancestors.
Elisha Cate was the first cousin of my third great grandmother
Mary Ann (Polly Ann) Cate,
and Mary Elizabeth Newman was the first cousin of my
third great grandfather
Peter H. Bryan.
Peter
and Polly Ann
were husband and wife.
Elisha Porter (Porter) Cate Jr. was the double second cousin
of my second great grandfather
William Allen (Will) Bryan.
Ida Bell Cate was the double third cousin of my great grandfather
William Harley (Harley) Bryan.
And finally, Mary Amanda was the double fourth cousin of my
grandfather
Emmert Oral Bryan.
