In one of the previous posts, I told you about our great-great-grandfather, Jacob Rippy Gant who moved our family line to Tennessee. Jacob's brother Joshua Allen Gant (born circa 1823 in Orange County, North Carolina) married Miss Mary Jane Cline on 11 Feb. 1861. It happened in Sumner County, Tennessee.
Mary Jane was a daughter of Mr. Andrew Jackson Cline (born 15 June 1806, Sumner County, Tennessee) and Miss Mary Cynthia Fykes of Tennessee.
