Hi Pat,
I too am descended from the Wiltshire Chants. Actually, a couple
gen's above John Chante and Mary Harvey. I got all of my info from Andy
Chant (above my g great grandmother, Jane Chant) What I have differs from
what you have as far as the children names and such. I'm sure we'll hear
from Andy after he reads your initial E-mail from yesterday. So
theoretically, you have connected the Wiltshire Chants to Australia now.
Hmmm. What has Michael got to say? What stinks for me is I can't discern
which info is correct (yours or Andy's) since I don't have access to those
kinds of records. That is why I am on the list.
What I have as John Chaunt's ancestors are as follows:
Isack CHANTE
+ An DRADGE
Ambrose (Snr.) CHAN(N)T(E) b: mar 17, 1660/61 Mere Wilts.
+Grace b: 1661 Fisherton Anger Salisbury Wilts.
Benjamin CHANT d: Feb 6, 1746/47
+ Margarett DOVE
John CHAUNT (CHANT)
+ Mary HARVEY
I descend from Isack. I (from Andy) have the people you have but the
children are different or missing or too many. I guess we'll have to figure
it out.
