He "inherited"19 his father's 300 acre farm adjoining Bryan's Point Fishing Shore and "Marshall Hall". Bryan's Point Fishing Shore was under lease to the federal government in 1916 and used as a fish hatchery. This hatchery was established in 1892 [same year the remaining Bryan homestead was sold], moved from Fort Washington where it was established in 1880. James married Francis Barry and produced 7 children [19th century newspapers PGEq] one of which was Katie Norris Bryan (1874-1902) [Stones & Bones] and another Arthur B. Bryan [m. Elizabeth Clements]. Francis Barry was the daughter of David Barry, who owned a tract called "St Elizabeth" where the government hospital for the insane was established. James died of heart failure ]19th century Newspapers].
