dated January 31, 1900 :

Found Dead In Bed
Hopkinsville, Ky.,Jan. 27 - Joseph
K. Gant, Jr., aged forty years, was
found dead in bed this morning. Heart
failure caused his death. He was one
of the most prosperous and well known
tobacco buyers in Southern Kentucky.
He leaves a wife and three children.
His father also died suddenly a num-

Cadibratt — 2009-03-29 13:29:11Z

I know this is a long shot. In fact a very long shot. I just found a historical record from the Huxford Library in Homerville, GA showing my great-great grandmother had a sister who married a Gantt and moved from Georgia to N.C.
It doesn't state the sisters first name but the last name is Ivey or Ivy. My Great Great Grandmother was EdeyAn (Edith Ann) Ivey there was another sister named Rhoda. There was a Joseph Ivey living with them at one point who I thought was a brother but according to the found document, there were no brohters only the 3 sisters.

Does anyone have a ancestor who married an Ivey lady from Georgia?

LOOKING FOR CONNECTIONS TO LACY GANT DOB01/15/1895 DOD 08/09/1983. MARRIED TO ANDREW JOSEPH WARREN, BOTH BURIED IN AND OR AROUND PARRISH, AL. THEY HAD FOLLOWING CHILDREN..ALVIN, CLARICE,FRANK,TERCIE,WILLIE MAY, NORMAN,VELMA LOU, EMMA LEE, JEROME, EDDIE,WILEY. THEY LIVED IN AND AROUND PARRISH AND JASPER AL. MAY HAVE HAD SOME CONNECTIONS IN MISSISSIPPI.THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR ANY HELP YOU MAY RENDER

Lacy Gant and Andrew Joseph Warren were my grandparents. They lived in Parrish, Alabama and were buried in Gray Cemetery also in Parrish. My grandparents had 9 children, and my Mother was Willie Mae Warren Hallman. Her middle name is spelled Mae not May. Willie Mae was married to S. D. Hallman who was from Berry, Alabama.

My grandparent’s oldest son was Alvin Warren, who lived in West Virginia and in North Carolina as an adult. The youngest son of my grandparent’s was Jerome (Jake) Warren who lives in Satsuma, Alabama. Emma died of mitigations at nine years old according to my Mother. My Mother gave me Emma’s picture. Jerome Warren purchased the family home which is a reunion destination for the Andrew Joseph Warren and Lacy Gant Warren clan.

Eddie and Wiley were not children of my grandparents. My mother always referred to "Uncle Eddie", but I am personally not familiar with an uncle named Wiley. My Mother passed away on July 13, 2006, and my Father passed away on February 27, 2007. They left behind my brother Jimmie Wayne Hallman of Tuscaloosa, and me, Dennis Lynn Hallman, currently in Montgomery Alabama.

I was told that grandfather was from the north-north-central Mississippi area, and the town of Gantt, Alabama is a namesake of my grandmother’s family. My mother told me that my grandmother, Lacy Gant, was 1/2 Native American or American Indian. My great-grandmother's maiden name was White. Her full married name was Amanda White Gant. Dark skin and dark eyes and my mother had the beautiful "white streak" in the front of her black hair. Andrew Joseph Warren is a direct descendent of Mariner Peter Warren, and Joseph Warren of Revolutionary fame.

My name is Paulette Williams Grant and my mother was named Millie Gant Williams. I have a picture of her father but no name. She talked about having a brother named Herman but they did not have the same mother. I found a Herman Gant in the 1910 census and the father was Willie Edwin Gant. The only thing I have to link this man with my mother is the brother named Herman and the town in which they lived in or near and that is Franklin, Louisiana and Patterson, Louisiana. I am not sure that your information is of any help to me but I would certainly appreciate any infor, if any, that you may have if any of these names are there.
