Jim,the information you posted could prove
usefull,at the very least it was a new link
to explore.The Clegg book Thelma Sanders refers
to could be a book called the Cleggs of old
Chatham (Chatham N.C.)It was William Avent Sr
that was a preacher and he was born and died
in N.C. his son ( 1 Of many Children) born
Appox 1817 died in Tennessee 1841 or ther abouts.
you can find information on rev.William Avent
on a number of sites on the internet,the only
mention of william jr I could find is that he is
of rev.William Avent and Esther Watts Clegg.
