Hi John
I would appreciate an outline on Joseph Chant as you have him
with full dates and listing of children. I need to check up on this
one. My info on him is different.
I do have Mark Chant and Louisa Pattemore of Canada with children
George, Sarah Ann, Thomas John, John and Bessie.
George married Susan Drummond
Sarah to James Graham
Thomas died at 19
John to Eva White
Bessie to Thomas Chant (parent of Thomas I dont have?)
Would appreciate any other descendancy info on these lines.
regards
Michael Cheeseman

Hello Michael
Here are two lines crossing through Mary's first husband.
What I have is slightly different from your correspondent:
Mary Jane Chant 1852 Middle Chinnock - 1936 Bastard Township, Leeds County,
Ontario, daughter of William Chant c 1831 West Chinnock - 1860 West Chinnock
and Eliza nee Slade c 1828 - 1904 Harlem, Leeds County, Ontario
married
Thomas Watts 1817 West Chinnock - 1880 Bastard Township, Delta, Leeds,
Ontario.
After his death she married Mortimer Emmons.
Despite this name differences I think it must be the same couple.
Mary Jane and her kin I have in the Thomas and Mary Virgin line.
The crossover comes with Thomas Watts. He had first married Rebecca Chant
1816 West Chinnock - 1863 Bastard Township, Delta, Leeds County, Ontario,
daughter of Joseph Chant c 1768 West Chinnock -1844 West Chinnock and Hannah
nee Gard c 1773 Chiselborough -1832 West Chinnock (who married at
Chiselborough 4 11 1809) and that is my line to Robert 1700. He had actually
travelled back to Somerset to get his new bride.
A lot of this information has been given to me by Canadian researcher Vera
Kitson, who, naturally, likes her efforts acknowledged. Vera hasn't joined
the list yet as she is busy with her second book: her first was about her
great grandfather Mark Chant and wife Louisa Pattemore.
Is there any more background which has been supplied by your enquirer? It
would be interesting to know where Mary Jane (or W) and Mortimer (or Morton
Craig) Emmons are buried. Vera likes to do a thorough research job and would
be very keen to see if she could find out what the tombstone states.
Regards,
John
