(Edwin Bryant (alcalde); Edwin Bryant (August 21, 1805-December 16, 1869) was a Kentucky newspaper editor; second alcalde, or pre-statehood mayor, of the city of San Francisco; General Stephen W. Kearny appointed Bryant the second alcalde of San Francisco, a post in which he served from February to June 1847. The post is a predecessor to that of Mayor of San Francisco, but it also had judicial functions as well, and later in life Bryant was sometimes referred to as Judge Bryant. One of Bryant's key acts was to arrange for the sale of 450 lots of publicly owned waterfront property to private buyers)
