• Notes

  from descendant Roger Harris, 9 Feb 2009: "He's (James B. Avent's father William) in Terrell County for the 1860 census. This page of the 1860 Terrell County (Ga.) census (Page 6) shows the date "June 5, 1860." William's name is the very last name on that page. His age is given as "58," and his occupation is that of "druggist" (as far as I can tell). Birthplace is North Carolina. At the top of the next page of the census (Page 7), the members of the household are shown as Anna (60) and children: Martha, Sarah, James B., Amanda, and W.C.Avent (Avant). It appears that the son "W.C." is living in his father's household with his wife and child. Interestingly enough, "W.C." is identified as a doctor (M.D.), and I have seen at least one reference to his being enrolled at the Botanico Medical College of Georgia. (The school doesn't exist now.) On August 9, 1860 (only two months after we see William in the 1860 census), James B. Avent (son of William) makes an application for letters of administration on the estate of William Avent "deceased." There are various document signed at about this same time by James B. Avent and his brothers Robert and W.C. Avent." ====== 1880 United States Federal Census Name: James B.
