Joseph, thanks for the response. I am familiar with the books David Avant wrote. I have Volume 3. I was saddened to hear of his death. His work will be remembered. Most AVANTS searchers now believe our family descends from Col Thomas Avent through his son Peter. My Peter AVANTS was born about 1780 in either N. or S. Carolina and died in Choctaw Co. MS after 1851. He is the first documented ancestor in my family. It has been suggested that one of the sons of Peter AVENT was most likely the father of my Peter AVANTS. Most think either Isham or Thomas, however no proof has been brought forward that I am aware of. I have considerable documentation on the family from Peter AVANTS on to the present. My goal now is to find who the father of my Peter AVANTS was. At the present time I have very little to go on, any help or ideas would be greatlyappreciated.
