I am searching for any and all information on my grandfather (several times removed) by the name of Rhinehart Richard Antis. The spelling of the last name I have found could very well be Antes or Ontis or Ontes.

I have him married to a Katherine (last name unknown) and having at least one daughter by the name of Martha.

Martha Antis married Robert Sloan who was born in Belfast, Ireland.

Martha and Robert had numerous children, one in particular by the name of Rinehart who married twice, first to a woman by the name of Lois (last name of unknown).

Rinehart and Lois had several children, one in particular by the name of William M. Sloan.

William M. Sloan was born in either PA or Zainsville, Ohio. When he joined the Union Army he gave Zainsville, Ohio as his home address.

While stationed in Knox County, Knoxville, Tennessee during the Civil War, William met and after the war ended married Mary M. Hodges (originally from NC).

They had three children:

Florence
James William
Ella Margaret

Florence married Stephen Paton Smith, Jr. and together they had 11 children:

Ella, Mary, Lizzie, Elmer, Nellie Cordella, Jessie Rae, (twins) Pearl & Rhueba, William, Stephen Paton, III & Hattie Mae.

Hattie Mae married twice, first to Marshall Jack Schaefer who died by his own hand and second to Floyd Arthur Hunter.

Hattie & Floyd had three children:

Alvin Ray
James Arthur
Fannanell

Fannanell married Robert Lee Hatfield, Jr. and together they have three children:

Janna Lynn
Robert Lee, III
Jennifer Ann (myself)

Jennifer Ann Hatfield married Bradley Alan Knowles on October 9, 1999 in Waco, Texas and together they have one child, Andrew Robert, born January 18, 2002.

If anyone has any information on this family please email on the computer to this message board and/or or to my personal email address.
