I have traced a branch of my family back to James Dant 1807-1894) of Kentucky who married Matilda Kidwell (1812-1875) on Jan 17, 1832 in Daviss County Indiana. As far as I know their children were:
Charles, William E., Thomas, Nicholas, Martha, Eller, John, Joseph and Franklin.

Charles(1832-?) married Harriet Edwards in 1859

Any knowledge of this Dant family?
