Disputed Origins

A previous version of this profile claimed that Elinor Bryant was daughter of Silent Bryant by his apparent first wife who is traditionally known as Lucy Doniphan, citing only a manuscript known to contain many errors and no solid source material.[1] This same source claimed that when Elinor's mother died, her father Silent moved away with his second wife (Grace?).

There is no record to suggest a familial relationship between Silent Bryant and Eleanor Gollop Owens. She was probably born about 1675. Based on her children’s ages, she married Robert Gollop about 1693-95, but no marriage record or maiden name has been found. Robert died in 1720. Elinor was alive (and married to John Owen) in 1735 when she released her dower rights in part of his estate. [2] While all these people were neighbors, there is no evidence that they were blood-related.

Biography

Nothing is known of Elinor's birth or parents. Elinor married first Capt. Robert Gallop, who died in 1720, leaving her with four daughters, Mary (who was already married), Anne, Phyllis, and Elinor.

Robert Gallop's oral will was proved 7 Dec. 1720. [3]

Elinor married secondly by 1726 John Owens, a widower with a son named Samuel [4] That they were married by 1726 is demonstrated in the will of Henry Gallop, brother of Elinor's first husband. He left his entire estate to the four Gallop daughters, whom he called "cuzens."

   I Henry Gollop .... Imprimis: 1 give and bequeath to my couzen Mary Elkens the plantation where I now live and the land belonging to it, to her and the heirs of her body forever and one Negro called Cili and one heifer to her daughter Elizabeth.
