BRYANT The surname Bryant or Bri- ant is traced back to Sir Guy de Briant, who lived in the time of Edward III and whose descendants had their seat in the castle of Hereford in the marches of Wales. Arms : the field is or, three piles meeting near in the base of the escutcheon, azure. No connection has been established between this family and the first of the name who came to America with the early settlers of Plymouth colony, though re- lationship is probable. About 1640 there were in Plymouth colony four pioneers of this surname: John Briant, of Taunton ; John Briant, Sr., of Scituate; Stephen Briant, of Plymouth, and Lieutenant John Briant, of Plympton. It does not appear from any rec-
ords examined by the writer that these fam- ilies were related (except as shown by deed first discovered by Dr. Lapham, that Lieuten- ant John of Plympton was a son-in-law of Stephen). Tradition says, however, that John, Sr., of Scituate, and Stephen, of Ply- mouth, were brothers.
(I) John Bryant, Sr., the immigrant an- cestor of the Scituate family, was born in Eng- land, and was in Scituate as early as 1639 when he was admitted a freeman. According to tradition he came from Kent county, in the ship, "Ann." His farm was on the second Herring brook, ten rods east of the mill, and an ancient orchard now or lately marked the site. He was prominent in the early history of Plymouth colony, and throughout his life was active in public affairs ; was a land owner and actively engaged in surveying public lands. He was a house carpenter by trade. He was a deputy to the general court at Plymouth in 1657 and again in 1677-78. He lived in Barn- stable for a short time before settling in Scit- uate. In 1643 he appears on the list of men able to bear arms in Scituate.
He married (first), in 1643, Mary Lewis, daughter of George and Mary (Jenkins) Lewis, then of Barnstable. In 1657, he mar- ried (second), Elizabeth Wetherill, daughter of Rev.

Joseph H. Bancroft, the subject of this sketch, attended the public schools of his native town, and on graduation from the Bos- ton English high school was awarded a Frank- lin medal, which was a prize always greatly valued. During his early years he assisted his father in his business, and on leaving school entered the hardware business and later was in the crockery ware trade. About 1853 or 1854 he started in business for him- self selling wall papers and crockery. He was located at 121 Hanover street, in a store owned by his father, which store was cut off by the widening of Hanover street and was subsequently rebuilt and again occupied by him down to 1887, when he practically retired from business, though he had an office in Boston for some time longer.
In 1855, on April 3, his birthday, he mar- ried Maria B. Faxon, then of Cambridge, but who was born in Boston. They had been friends and neighbors from their earliest years. On his marriage he came to Cam- bridge to live and from that time until his death he resided there, first on Ellery street and later on Harvard street (No. 380). In 1876 he was elected to the Common Council of Cambridge, and served in that body during the year 1876 to 1877. He gave his best and most earnest efforts to his duties in the coun- cil being zealous for the most economical and efficient conduct of public affairs. He was always a good citizen, attending strictly to all his civic duties, feeling that it belonged to every man to attend the public gatherings for the nomination and election of those who were to govern the city. In 1869 he with his wife became a member of the First Church of Cam- bridge (Congregational), of which he was always a zealous and earnest member, giving of his substance and his assistance in its work. He was a most devoted husband, kind father, steadfast friend and courteous gentleman. He died at Cambridge, on October 9, 1906, mourn- ed and sadly missed by all who knew him. He left a widow, and one son, Jacob Bancroft.
COLEMAN
Elisha Paddock Coleman, of Cambridge, Massachusetts, was born
in Nantucket, Massachusetts, November 2, 1823, son of Thomas and Emma ( Paddock) Coleman, and grandson of Silas Coleman. Thomas Cole- man ( father) was a sail maker by trade, and conducted a large and remunerative business. He and his wife were the parents of nine chil-
dren, five of whom are living at the present time (1907) : Elisha P., see forward; Thomas, who is connected with the Metropolitan Coal Company in Charles street, Boston; Mrs. George H. Brock, of Nantucket, Massachu- setts; Mrs. James H. Bigelow, of Elizabeth, New Jersey; Emma, of Nantucket, Massa- chusetts.
Elisha Paddock Coleman was educated in Nantucket, and at seventeen years of age came to Boston and was employed by a dry goods firm. In 1869 he became associated with the American Baptist Missionary Union, which represents the Foreign Missionary Society of the Baptist denomination, and has been iden- tified with the same ever since. He served in the capacity of assistant to the treasurer for fourteen years, receiving money from people for the Foreign Missionary Society and send- ing it to missionaries in foreign lands, and is now (1907) treasurer emeritus. His duties have always been performed in a highly cred- itable and efficient manner, and during his res- idence of nearly four decades in Cambridge he has won and held the confidence and esteem of his fellowmen and the love of those who have the honor of close acquaintanceship.
Mr. Coleman was married, in Boston, Mass- achusetts, to Sarah A. Bass, of Braintree, Ver- mont, who bore him five children, three sons and two daughters, the daughters being the sole survivors. Their sons were: Frank W .. who was a clerk in the office of the Vermont Central railroad; Edward B., who was en- gaged in the cotton business in Boston; Ar- thur W., who was engaged in the banking bus- iness in Boston, and later in St. Paul, Minne- sota, where he went on account of ill health.
On account of the large number WHITE of pioneers of the name of White and of the large number of descendants many of them had, it is ex- tremely difficult to trace an accurate and com- plete lineage in this family. At Salem, Bev- erly, Haverhill, Wenham and other adjacent towns of Essex county there were different branches of White families.
(I) Thomas White, immigrant ancestor, was in Marblehead, Massachusetts, as early as 1674. Elias White, believed to be his brother, was also in Marblehead from 1669 to 1674. There is good reason to believe that the fol- lowing were children of Thomas White: I. Thomas, born about 1670, married at Marble- head, July 4, 1692, Susanna Grant. 2. Sam-
