Surnames: Avan Noble Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/zV.2ADI/276.1.1 Message Board Post: My great-grandmother was Marjorie Jane Avan, John's eldest daughter. I compiled information on the family into a book about 6 years ago and distributed it to those who were interested. I wasn't able to get much on John's second wife, Harriet Noble, the mother of his 7 other children (not Marjorie). Recently, I found what I believe is more information on Harriet's family. How are you related?
