Description
This history began as a small pedigree assembled as a birthday gift for my
late father-in-law, Colonel Henry Perkins Gantt (1894-1983) of Holly
Rod, Gloucester Point, Virginia, on his 72nd birthday, 29 April 1966. With
continued research over the past 47 years, it has grown to encompass
the history of nearly the complete descendants of Thomas Gantt (ca.
1634-1692), transported to Maryland in 1654, and his second wife, Ann
Fielder (ca. 1662-1726), through at least the first six generations, and,
in many lines, extending down through the eighth and succeeding ones
as well. In a project of this enormous size and scope, there are bound to
be errors and omissions that the author leaves to future historians of the
family to correct, as well as to extend and continue the narrative. Where
critical, probative information is sourced to original archives, but the sheer
volume of data makes this by necessity incomplete.
