    1. [VACulpeper] JOHN GAUNT, October 5, 1759
    2. Hi All, While researching the BOBO family in Culpeper Co., VA, I found this information: "8 March 1760. Thomas Hill 447 acres in Granville Co in the Parish of St John on Isingglas the waters of Shocco Creek, joining William Williamson, Brittain Jones, John Gaunt, John Thornton, Hills line and the sd Isingglas signed by his mark. Witnesses Tho Jones, William Matthews.Surveyed 5 October 1759 Sworn chain carriers Lewis Bobo, Jno Wood, Wi Churton Surveyor (North Carolina Patent Book 11, Entry 1650, p. 379) Lewis Bobo on list of taxables in Shocco District, Granville County in 1762. ("Gantrees" Newsletter of the Gant Family of America, Vol. 4, No. 4, p. 10) Source: Descendants of *Gabriel Baubeau http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/o/b/Robert-G-BOBO/GENE1-0003.html ?Welcome=1030528572 I haven't verified this, myself. I am still searching for the father of ANDREW GAUNT, possibly the husband of MARY MARTIN. LEWIS BOBO was born in about The BOBO family is connected to my husband's GAUNT line. EMILY FRANCES (1866, Greene Co., Ohio -- 1936, Indiana) married ABRAHAM THOMAS BOBO (1859, Indiana -- 1936, Indiana) in 1886. EMILY FRANCES is the daughter of WILLIAM ANDREW GAUNT & EMILY FRANCES JOHNSON. She is the granddaughter of ALPHEUS GAUNT & SUSANNA HAINES and the great granddaughter of ANDREW GAUNT & CATHERINE CORBIN. ABRAHAM THOMAS BOBO is the son of PHARES BOBO & JULIE ANN PECK. He is the grandson of EZEKIAL BOBO & SARAH WREN. His great grandparents are; ISREAL BOBO & MARGARET GRAHAM and great great grandparents; GABRIEL BOBO & ELIZABETH GARNER. LEWIS BOBO (mentioned above, I believe) is the brother of GABRIEL. I haven't verified all of the above information. The BOBO line is also tied to the SIMS/HOUGHTON/JOHNSON and other families connected to the GAUNT line in Culpeper Co., VA. Does anyone have any thoughts on this JOHN GAUNT? Thanks, Linda Cashen Gaunt
