BRYANT, John, Sr., came from England in 1639, although some sources state
he may have come in the "Ann" in 1623; tradition says a brother to
Stephen; was living in Barnstable, MA in 1640; moved to Scituate, MA in
1642; John built a home in Scituate on the Second Herring Brook in 1650
and a second residence there in 1676; house carpenter; m. (1) Nov. 14,
1643 by Timothy Hatherly, Esquire Mary Lewis of Barnstable (George and
Sarah Jenkins) [Plym. Col. Rec., 8:17], bp. in Kent, England, d. July 2,
1655 in Scituate [Plym. Col. Rec., 8:49]. John Bryant is first mentioned
in Plymouth Colony records Dec. 1, 1640 as a witness in court [Plym. Col.
Rec., 2:5], though a John Bryan was presented at court for inordinate
drinking Mar. 5, 1639, and again Sept. 3, 1639 [Plym. Col. Rec., 1:118,
1:132]. A John Bryant was presented at court Mar. 2, 1642 for "drinking
tobacco upon the highway" [Plym. Col. Rec., 2:12]. In 1643
John is listed as a member of Scituate's Military Company. John Bryan of
Scituate took an oath of fidelity on Jan. 15, 1645 [Plym. Col. Rec.,
8:183]. He was propounded a freeman on June 7, 1653, and admitted on June
6, 1654 [Plym. Col. Rec., 3:31, 3:48]. John served as a deputy to the
general Court in 1657, 1677 and 1678 [Plym. Col. Rec., 3:115, 5:231,
5:256]. He served as a surveyor of highways for Scituate in 1673 [Plym.
Col. Rec., 5:115], as selectman in 1677 and 1678 [Plym. Col. Rec., 5:230,
5:257], as deacon of Scituate's Second Church in 1669 and was frequently
being appointed or elected to other public service positions. A history
of Scituate written by Dean and quoted by Colonial Families of the United
States records that on one Sunday morning, John Bryant entered the
meetinghouse late. The
Reverend William Witherle, after prayers, addressed him before the
congregation saying: "Neighbor Bryant, it is to your reproach that you
have disturbed the worship by entering late, living as you do, within a
mile of this place and especially so, while here is Goody Barstow, who
has milked seven cows, made a cheese, and walked five miles to the House
of God in good season."He, according to tradition, came from Kent,
England on the Ann. John Bryant was a widower when he married
Elizabeth. They had no children. John served as representative to MA
general Court ( perhaps this was Plymouth Court in 1677) 1677-78 and was
once rebuked in church by Rev. William Wetherell for being late. He was
a Deacon in 1669. His will was dated 1684. He had seven children by his
first wife & 5 by his third wife
