I am intrigued by your research on the John Chants of Odcombe. I, too, have been looking
at this line but I doubt if it can add much to your work as, I suspect, we are using the
same resources--the LDS transcripts for Odcombe records. However, I am interested in a
John Chant, born about 1766 in Brampton (? source info is difficult to read) in Somerset.
His father was another John Chant, said to be of Odcombe. I have been through the Odcombe
records and cannot make a positive match--although the John Chant/Betty Britt and John
Chant/Margaret Fuller marriages looked promising. Do you have any further information? I
was particularily interested because there were no children recorded for the early years
of the John/Margaret marriage.
John Chant (b. abt. 1766) m. Mary Davis in Pucknowle, lived in Piddletown and had a son
James (b. 8 Apr 1787).
