She is a descendant of John Jack Bryant and Holland Lancaster Bryant, who were slaves of Jessie Lancaster. Her paternal grandparents were Charity Bryant and Jim Mitchell. Her father married Rowena Price, the daughter of Tony and Sarah Price. She was the sixth child of John and Rowena. Mattie’s brothers and sisters were: John Sanders, Nettie, Evangeline, Josie, Waymon Langston, and Lillie Francis.
