Hi Sandi,
I have about 30 Guerrants in my database, the earliest being Edward Owings
Guerrant (dob unknown) m. 12 May 1868, Mary Jane DeVault b. 1 Jan 1844. I'm
a DeVault descendant so don't have a lot on the Guerrants but if you are
interested in this family I'll be happy to send what info I have on them.
Kay Appleby
