Hi Rita Just got a little closer to proving a relationship with my ancestry and the Oborne
Chants
A list of the Oborne Militia 1798 includes
Benjamin Chant
Richard Chant
William Chant
John Chant
Samuel Chant
On My Tree William Chant married Anna (Hannah) Phillips on 23/7/1798'in Sherborne
Their male children were Richard 1799 Samuel 1808
Noah 1811 Daniel 1813 and William 1816
Seeing 3 of the 5 names the same shows a family connection.
Curiously none of the children were named after their alleged grandfather George Chant.
Benjamin appears in the children of William (1816) who emigrated to New Zealand
I am sure their is an Oborne connection but so far the nearest I can get is to believe
they are at least cousins.
