John Gantt was my 6th gr grand[step]father. His stepson, my direct ancestor, William Pile was born to William Pile & Margaret Wright of Maryland. William the senior died (1756) within a year of William the junior's birth (1755). Margaret Wright Pile remarried to John Gantt abt 1760.

I am looking for information re John Gantt. Why? Well, William-the junior, gave at least two of his children the Gant(t) middle name. To me, this suggests a strong relationship.

Has anyone out there done an 'in-depth' of Mr Gantt? Land records, court documents, Rev War service, will???
