Brenda,

Here's what little I've got on that line:

Joseph Avent, son of William Avent of Northampton Co., NC. He came to Chatham Co. before 1763, when we find him buying land for his brother in law, William Ragland, husband of Sarah Avent. His brother, John, also took up land about the same time in the Buckhorn Creeck area. This land lay between the confluence of the Haw River and the Deep River (the beginning of the Cape Fear) and the falls in Cape Fear. Children:

1. Joseph Avent b. 3/10/1796 - d. 4-1862. Married Judith (Rush) Thomas, a widow born 1802 died 1868. Children:

i. Sarah Francis Farrar
ii. Alvis Avent
iii. Henry Avent
iv. Elizabeth Farrar
v. Benjamin Rush Avent
vi. Jacabina Hughes
vii. Glover Avent
viii. George Washington Avent

2. Benjamin Rush Avent b. ? - d. 1862
Married 9-18-1856 Louisa Francis Cross

Children:

i. Frederick Henry Avent
ii. Mary Francis Avent Yarborough

Here's what I've got on Glover Avent:

Glover Avent, son of Joseph, married Cornelia Ann Partridge. Children:

i. Joseph F. Avent married Alice Booth, no children
ii. John R. Avent m. Nannie Harman. Children:
a. Joseph Avent
b. Cornelia Avent Erwin
c. John R. Avent, Jr.
