I have a good bit of information on this family. Julia Ann and her husband, Jefferson Davis Bryan, are buried in Clear Springs Baptist Church Cemetery. This is located in Walton County. Florida on Highway 85 just a few miles south of the Alabama line. They are in unmarked graves but the burial place is identified by Shepherd Funeral Home records now located in Evans funeral home in Florala. There is a Bryan plot in the northwest corner of the cemetery surrounded by concrete coping with "Byran" inscribed on it and I suspect this is the grave location.Their grandchildren, William Herman Bryan and Clifton Bryan are also buried in this cemetery.
I spoke with their grandson, Virgie Bryan, a few years ago and he said they moved from Covington County to Walton County about 1921-1922. This is confirmed by the funeral record for Jefferson Davis Bryan that says he had lived in Walton county for 9 years when he died in 1930.
Here are some census records for the family:
