I searched Mississippi's state archives two weeks ago and noticed about John Avent and Benjamin Avent.Well, I was pretty sure that Henry Clay was descended from someone in thatfamily (John and benjamin, William, Elizabeth Avent were siblings).Yesterday, I was searching on computer and found out information saying that Henry Clay's parents were John Avant/Avent and Mary "polly" Burt.It makes since...John and Mary moved to Choctaw COunty Mississippi, where they died.herny Clay served in Choctaw's Infantry in Civil War and died in Webster... hopefully I will receive some definate proof of this find.I now have the direct link to Col. Thomas Avent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
