I haven't got the birthdate or parents of Thomas Chant or of

Does anyone know who he comes down from.?.
Hi Janette & Enid,
I'm another who would like to know this, especially as he has a couple of
Dianas in his brood and I'd like to think there is a Stoke/West Chinnock
connection.
I'll put in another plug for Sue Osborne's Merriott site as I think your
birthplace for Joseph at Shiremore Hill could be the same place shown as
Sherrimore Hill on that site:

and at the same time mention that I now have a connection by marriage with a
Chant family shown there. I wonder if the Merriott group is originally all one
family? I can't go back further than the John Chant born between 1801 and
1805 who married Jane Daw. The rest of that line as far as I can see goes:
Jane Chant 1825 whose son Solomon married 1868 Emma Lawrence begat
Ellen Chant 1876 who married Alfred Richard Chant 1879 of Stoke-sub-Hamdon in
my line. (He would have been my first cousin twice removed, our common
ancestor being Abraham Isaac Chant.)
Anyone else about who can clarify any Merriott line relationships, please?
With regard to Folletts I'm sure you must have seen:
