Subject: Gaunt/Derrickson Families
Hi Chris!
My name is Martin Broders, 323 Kiyuga Way, Loudon, TN 37774, phone and
fax: 423 458-4956, e-mail: chalmart@ix.netcom.com . I am related to
James Gaunt Derrickson who was born on June 6, 1841 probably in New
York. He was the son of James Turner Derrickson born November 23, 1810
in Philadelphia, and Eleanor Jane Buchanan, born during 1818 in New
York City. I have library records from Hanover township in New Jersey
entitled "Along the Whippanong" which discusses the purchase of paper
mills [Marr, Caledonian, Phoenix, Eden] by Gaunt and Derrickson. I feel
since my ancestor James Gaunt Derrickson has a Gaunt middle name, he
may be related to the Gaunt family. Do you have any Gaunt family
information that refers to the Derrickson family, and perhaps
specifically to my James Turner Derrickson ancestor. I will appreciate
any information that you may have to help me learn more about my
Derrickson ancestors. By the way the Campbell family is also tied to my
Derrickson ancestors. Thank you in advance for your assistance. I look
forward to hearing from you. Best regards, Marty Broders

Chris,
Thank you so much for your reply. I have found an enclave of
GAUNTS in Columbiana, Ohio. When I get a break, I expect to
connect to them. If anything I find will be of help to you, I
will notify you. If anything changes at your end, please let me

Subject: Gaunt surname search
I have just begun a search of the name Gauntt through my paternal grandfather
Harry Lee Gauntt (died around Alton, Illinois in 1950's). I know very little
about the Gaunts because my father was raised by a stepfather. If you can
help me in my search, I would appreciate it. Thank you. Kathy Buchanan, Los
Gatos, California. I am also at Moondust@earthlink.net

Christine:
Thanks for your quick response. Posting my e-mail address to other Gaunt
researchers would be great. I have no idea whether or not my real grandfather
re-married and had other children. It would be news to my dad - (he doesn't
remember much and would have believed anything told him as a child). There
are Gauntts in San Jose, CA, but I haven't called them-perhaps I should.
Later, Kathy

Howdy,
I was surfing the net and saw your name in a genealogy section. I have
a Gaunt line that I am tracing and wondered if it could tie in to yours.
Hopefully, you would have all the answers!
My Elizabeth Gaunt was born in 1820 in KY. She married abt. 1840 to
Milton Helm and died July 5, 1865. She is buried in Grand Chain,
Illinois. Her siblings and ancestors are unknown to me at this time.
Other Gaunt/Gant people buried near her are: Fred Gaunt (1877 - 1932)
and wife Angie (1882 - 19--) James M. Gaunt (1821 - 1875), and wife,
Mary Ann (1825 - 1909), Amelia (1880 - 1880), A.G. Gaunt (1858 - 1877),
Joseph Gaunt (1827 - ----), wife Margaret (1837 - 1876), Benjamin F.
(1842 - 1862). Would you by chance have anything on this line? If you
are a genealogist, you understand taking "shots in the dark".
Thanks,

My maiden name is Gaunt. My father is CH Gaunt descendent of the Gaunts who

Peter Gaunt arrived from England in 1608 and settled in the lower half of New
Jersey. The land was given to him by the King of England. My dad says we
are related to John of Gaunt. A David Gaunt in Michigan has done most of the
Gaunt work. He has done the history since Peter arrived. My dad's dad was
born in 1890 St Paul, Minn. His father was western division manager for
Western Union and Asst Manager for Santa Fe Railroad. We are actually
researching for someone to complete my dad's maternal side of the family
history in Germany. We have all the stateside info but want to check a
little into the German side. Do you know any one who does this?
