I would like to find the ancestors of Elizabeth Kindel, also known as Grandma Lizzie. Elizabeth's mother was Mariaha (last name unknown). Elizabeth married Colonel Avant and the two children (that I know of) are Henry Avant and Cleavia Avant. There is a Florida Debrow, April 1890-June 1987, she had the maiden name of Avant prior to her marriage to Rabb Debrow (March 1882-April 1963). There is one known child of Florida and Rabb Debrow, Lee Grant Debrow (info on Rabb is unknown). The following is info gathered by my cousin in Louisiana... First Marietta Church Cemetery Located on County Road 53 Alright, here goes. Everybody highlighted in yellow is an Avant. I tried to type in the children that I knew. If you know any not listed, please add them and then e-mail an updated list. Everybody highlighted in blue is a Gray on grandpa Gray’s side of the family. I highlighted the connection in pink.
