Michael Bryte (June 25, 1828 – February 3, 1887) was a California pioneer and dairy farmer. He also served two terms as the Sheriff of Sacramento County.
Biography Bryte was born in Clear Creek Township, Ashland County, Ohio in 1828. He moved to California in 1849 or 1850 to find gold but eventually started working for a dairyman named Schaadt, and in 1855 married his daughter Elizabeth.
