Gregg Bonner's Gant Family
Family of Edmond Cooper Gant & Martha Jane (Pickle) Gant
Many thanks to Hal and Jim Groat for providing me with this picture.

This is a portion of my dad's chromosome 15.
He gets this segment of DNA from either John Gant of Isle of Wight (see below), or else through his wife (presumably maiden name Bobo).
[If you can update, correct, or otherwise revise this list, then please contact me. For more information on this family, I suggest the book "John Gant of Colonial Virginia & North Carolina: His Ancestors and Descendants", by Clifford Lamar Gant, Martin Benjamin Gantt, Jr., and Joseph Frederick Gantt, Jr. Ganttrees Publications, Houston, Texas, Copyright 2001, ISBN 0-9700898-0-5 (Library of Congress Card Catalog Number 00-093293).]
