He is the son of Elizabeth (maiden name is Kendall, Kindell...) and Colonel Avant. Like yourself, I don't have much information. However, my cousin in Louisiana has been doing a great deal of research and knows far more than I. I will share this info with her and...well...you never know. I will tell you there has been alot of race mixing in this family history. There a many Avants in the state of Alabama, Louisiana and the Carolinas...some of which, we know we are related. I hope I can be of help...the brick wall hurts. :-)
