Mother: Nancy Sallie TOLLESON |
Alfred Briant, farmer and old resident of Huntingdon, was born
in Spartanburg District, South Carolina, 1809, and is the son of
Reuben and Nancy (Tolerson) Briant. The father was of Irish
descent; he was born in Virginia, and followed farming. In his
youth he went to South Carolina, where he married and remained
until his career ended. He died at the advanced age of one
hundred and three years, about 1870. His wife, Nancy Tolerson,
was born in South Carolina; she died in 1813, at the age of
about thirty-five. By this union they had ten children. Mr.
Briant was married three times, and was the father of fourteen
children. Alfred is the youngest child by his first wife; he was
reared at home, receiving a common school education, and made
his home with his father until he was nineteen years of age.
January 18, 1831, he married Miss Polly Stone, daughter of Aaron
and Susanah Stone. Mrs. Briant was born in 1810, in the same
district and State as her husband. By this union they had these
children: Gardner M., who lives in California; Thomas J. (who in
died May 15, 1886, at the age of forty-one; he was town marshal
of Huntingdon for twelve years and occupied that position at the
time of his death); Sarah A., widow of R. J. Johnson; Aaron R.,
Reuben A., Albert D., David B.; William H., who was killed by a
falling tree near Huntingdon, at the age of sixteen years, and
an infant (deceased). In 1838 Mr. Briant left his native State
and immigrated to Carroll County, W. Tenn. He bought 400 acres
in the Second District, and lived there until 1858 when he came
to Huntingdon, bought 152 acres on the outskirts of the city,
where he located and now resides. Mr. Briant is one of the
substantial and influential citizens of Carroll County. Previous
to his coming to Tennessee he was constable for several years.
In 1841 he was elected magistrate and served for six years; was
deputy sheriff several years previous to the year 1852. In 1852
he was elected tax collector of Carroll County, and served two
years; in 1858 was elected sheriff of Carroll County, and 1860
was re-elected and served until the breaking out of the war,
when he became one of the "boys in gray." He organized Company
H, Fifty-fifth Regiment, Tennessee Infantry and Mr. Briant was
elected captain of the company. He led his men at Island No. 10,
and numerous severe skirmishes. At Island No. 10 he was captured
and made prisoner of war. He was taken to Camp Chase, Ohio,
thence to Johnson’s Island where he was retained until September
1862, when he was taken to Vicksburg, exchanged, and being
honorably discharged returned home. In 1870 he was again elected
as sheriff and held the position two years. Capt. Briant is
highly esteemed for his sterling qualities and honesty of
purpose. During the many years he has been a resident of the
county he has always proved to be a man above reproach, and his
character without blemish. He is well to do financially, owning
360 acres in the county, and several houses and lots in
Huntingdon. In politics he is a Democrat, casting his first vote
for H. Clay in 1832. He is a Royal Arch Mason, and lie and wife
are members of the U. O. of G. C. and Methodist Episcopal Church
South.

"Colonel Francis Eppes, who was a member of the assembly in
1625, and was appointed to the council in 1637. He had large
grants of land in 1635, on a portion of which some of his Eppes
descendants have lived to the present time."
Encyclopedia of Virginia Biography, Volume I III--Colonial
Councillors of State:
"Francis Epes or Eppes first styled captain and afterwards
lieutenant-colonel, settled before 1625, in what soon became
Charles City county. In the same year he was a member of the
house of burgesses, and in Feb., 1631-32, represented in that
house "Both Shirley Hundreds, the Farrar's and Chaplayne's." He
was appointed a commissioner (justice) for Charles City and
Henrico counties in 1631, and in 1639 and 1645, was a burgess
from Charles City. It was on April 30, 1652, that Epes was
elected a member of the council, and he probably died before
1655. On Aug. 26, 1635, he patented 1700 acres of land in
Charles City county, on the south side of James river, bounded
on the east by Bayly's creek, and on the west by Cosons
(Cawson's) creek and the Appomattox river. Some of this land is
believed to be owned by his descendants. Col. Francis Epes
probably married in England, and the arms borne by his
descendants in Virginia are the same as those ascribed in
English heraldic works to "Epes, or Epps, of Canterbury, Kent."
"Francis Eppes was a member of council, and his son,
Lieutenant-Colonel Francis Eppes, was mortally wounded in 1678,
while defending the frontier against the Indians."
"Francis Epes I. who was in the colony in 1625. A patent issued
to the elder Epes on 26 August 1635, stated that the land
granted to him was for the “personal adventure” of himself and
for the transportation of his sons John Epes, Francis Epes, and
Thomas Epes, and thirty others. One servant was George Archer."
