The Shrable Genealogy

Martha Jane Shrable was born May 4, 1860, in Fulton County, Arkansas, to Thomas Jefferson and Ruth Ann McCarty Barker Shrable. She was the next to the last child born to T J and Ruth and was the youngest girl. She had many siblings and step-siblings which is probably why so many called her 'Aunt Martha Bryant'.

She married Lorenzo Dow Bryant.
