Enoch & Margaret Fant were living in Cherokee Co, AL in 1850 with two children. By 1860 Enoch is widowed & living in Broomtown, GA next door to John & Nancy Fant......surely related - possibly brothers? Enoch is still in Broomtown in 1870 & has remarried. I believe Enoch's son, John Fant, to be my grgrgrandfather. Mattie Fant b 1875 St. Clair Co was the dau of John Fant & Elizabeth Helton. Mattie's parent died when she was young & she was raised by a Woods family in St. Clair Co, AL. Mattie m John H. Ball b Chattooga Co, GA in 1869. This same couple, David & Elizabeth Johnson Woods, kept my grandmother for a while after Mattie died in 1902. I've just recently learned that Elizabeth Johnson Woods was Elizabeth Helton's aunt. Hopefully, we can share information. Thx, Mary Wise
