Hello to Beryl Renton,
You were asking about Amos CHANT & Mary BROWN & their
children. I'm descended from George CHANT & Mary ASHFORD the parents of Amos,
through their son George chris.7.6.1775 in Somerton.
Amos CHANT chris.13.10.1778 in Somerton, Somerset married by licence on 10.3.1805 in
Somerton to Mary BROWN also of Somerton. Amos was a shop keeper & in 1830 & also
in 1839 Amos was a China & Glass Dealer in Somerton. In 1838 Amos CHANT was keeper
of accounts for the Somerton West Street, Independent Chapel. The actual chapel was built
1803.
Amos & Mary had (1) Harriett chris.18.6.1807 Somerton who married 25.5.1839 to
Daniel George COZENS. & (2) George born c1810? & chris.7.1.1812 in Somerton who
died aged 18 & is buried 19.7.1828.
When Amos died 27.9.1842 in Somerton, dicese of Bath & Wells he was aged 64.
When his father George died in 1809 a house in Somerton called "Harts" was
left to Amos valued at 100 pounds.
I have a copy of the will of Amos Chant, the brother of my ancestor George Chant
chris.7.6.1775 Somerton.
Regards,
Janette in Oz.`
