My Vansants were mostly in New Castle Co., DE. The farthest back I have got is Samuel Vansant who was born in 1808 in DE. One of his sons, Isaac, did move to Cecil Co., MD, but I don't know of any in Harford. My Harford tie is the Abernathy family which I have been able to find almost nothing on despite years of research - well, not all of it on them of course. I have posted this previously, but I'll put it out again - if anyone has info on Washington and Margaret Abernathy of Harford Co in the mid to late 1800's please let me know.
