Hello Leon:
I am not a ddiecendant of Jesse Bobo and Rachel (Kiser) Gant but of John Gant a brother of Lewis Gant who was Jesse's Father. Lewis and John, in turn, were sons of John Gant/Gent who died in Franklin Co., NC ca 1790. Their father was John Gent who died in Isle of Wight Co., VA in 1728.
The children of Robert Weatherby Gant and Mary J. (I didn't know her maiden name) were:
James R.(1867-)0,Daniel P.(1869-1934), Sermintha (1872-), Mira A.V.T. (1874-), Mary A. (1877-) and William H. (1879-).
I have the children of James R. but nothing about the others. I also have an interesting saga about the Civil War experiences of Robert W, and his brother Andrew Jackson. With help from 2 distant Gantt cousins, I wrote a book about John Gent and his decendnats. Please e-mail me for further information.
