Nope...just wanted to make sure I had the right family.
The additional info you gave helped me find them on census. Some of these you may be able to find at
http://pilot.familysearch.org/recordsearch/start.html#r=0;p=allCollections
Keep in mind that it is NOT uncommon to find names misspelled, as in the case of Rapheous.
Below is shown census results, the year, then below how that entry appears in index, then the transcription of that census image.
1880
Rosa Gant Peter Sharkey, Mississippi abt 1850 Louisiana Wife Black
Peter 29 MS TN MS
Rosa 30 LA LA LA
(I think the images should be viewed on this. I don't have access to census images for that year)
1900
GANT PETER 54 M B MS MS SHARKEY 10-TWP
Peter Aug 1845 43 married 30 years MS TN TN
Rosa may 1856 44 had 14 children, 11 survive MS MS MS
Joseph Dec 1884 15
Silas Feb 1886 14
Rapsus June 1888 12
Minnie May 1887 11
Grace, Mary V grandchild June 1890 9
all minors born MS
same page:
Gant, (Benjamin?) May 1875 24 MS
plus others with different surnames. Shown below is exactly how it is shown on census image:
Cook, Mary Hireling Aug 1871 21 MS had 3 children, all survive
Richardson, Bessie Jan/June 1890 9 daughter
_______ Annie Feb 1896 4 daughter
_______ Nettie Dec 1892 7 daughter
Brown Irena daughter, then Niece written over it, Jan 1893 7
Now normally the relationship shown is supposed to be relationship to head of household, but in this instance I think the "daughter" is the relationship to Mary Cook. With that said, then it makes it unsure whose niece Irena Brown is, whether it be to Gant or Cook.
2 entries below Peter Gant:
