  1. Thank you for this post; it helped me to fill in some gaps. My husband, Joseph, was the grandson of Levi and Carrie, son of Harold.

    1. If you look at my previous posts, I've been adding lots of information to what has previously been published about the Gaunts/Gauntts. So much more is available nowadays. And I do have you and Joseph in my family tree. :) In fact, I've been wondering if you are a Margaret or strictly a Meg.
