Based on her husband’s will she was the mother of John O’Bannon, William O’Bannon, Samuel O’Bannon, Ann O’Bannon Miller and Elizabeth O’Bannon Ambrose.

Notes

The name "Zena Sarah Isham (or Isom)" has been offered as the name of the wife of Bryant, despite absolutely no record or proof of such a fact. Mrs. Elizabeth De Huff seems to be responsible for this information and no evidence of a 'Sarah' has been established. One reference suggests that Bryant's wife Sarah Isom was the daughter of a William Isom but offers no citations.

The name of "Isham or Isom" did not start appearing in the O'Bannon / O'Banion family until 1769 when , when John's (2) son John (3) (who married Lydia Duncan Stampe) named a newborn son "Isham." John (3) was a grandson, and Isham was a great grandson. of Bryant (1). Additional investigation is necessary to determine the actual name of Bryant O'Bannon's wife.
