Does anyone have information about the Gant families living in Guernsey County Ohio in the 1840's and 1850's? In 1837, Richard Gant purchased land in Guernsey Co and was listed as living in Allegheny Co PA. He again purchased land in 1838 but was living in Guernsey Co OH according to BLM documents. He is listed in the 1840 census in Knox Twp, Guernsey Co. Also in Guernsey in 1840: Hamilton Gant, Millwood Twp. Jesse Gant, Millwood Twp. Joel Gant, Millwood Twp. William Gant, Beaver Twp. Marriages in Guernsey Co: Cloe Gant to William Young, 27 July 1818 Jesse Gant to Margaret Campbell, 20 Nov 1827 Margaret N. Gant to John R. Warden, 11 June 1846 Sarah E. Gant to John Moore, 27 Mar 1854 Levi Gant to Mary A. Topping, 8 Nov 1855 Oddly enough, with the exception of Margaret Gant Warden listed with husband John, there are no Gants in the 1850 census of Guernsey Co OH, nor can I find wills or cemetery records for them. Does anyone know where any of these people were in 1850? Thanks, Leah Rodis Rauenberg, Germany
