The history of this family discloses a long line of patriots, and many pioneers worthy of permanent record. The history of the first four generations is as complete as it could be made by a diligent research of the records in the Congressional Library of Washington and the public libraries of Chicago, of Boston, New York, and other cities. Much data of the early Bryants was obtained from records of the Holland Society of New York, and from tombstone inscriptions at Springfield, N. J., Connecticut Farms, N. J., Westfield, N. J., Mt. Freedom, N. J.; from church records of early New York City and New Jersey; from histories of Bergen, Morris, Hudson and Essex counties, N. J., and from marriage records of Essex county. Modern records have been obtained from family bibles and other family records. . More than 60 family illustrations. Hardbound, (1913), repr. 2012, Illus., Index, 387 pp.
