FRENCH HUGEUNOT
The Avant family ancestors were originally from France and came to America during the early 1700s as Huguenot refugees. Later descendants became quite influential in Covington County during the last century or so.
One Francis Avant, who was born circa 1670 in Chantilly, Ile de France, France, died in 1724 in Black River Craven County, S.C. Thus, he was the ancestor to bring this family to the new colonies. He was married to Mary who was born in 1670 in France as well. They had at least the following four children who were all born most likely before the family left France: John, b. 1690, d. 1748, m. Ann ?; Caleb, b. 1700, d. 1743; Francis, b. 1706, d. 1742; and Benjamin, b. 1708, d. 1743.
Very little is known about three of the above sons, but there is considerable documentation on the life of Caleb Avant. He was born circa 1700 in Chantilly, Ile de France, and was married in 1726 to Mary Lewis who was born circa 1708 in Prince Frederick Parish, Craven, S.C. Caleb and Mary were among those who settled along the Black River at a site known as Winyah. This was the first part of the present county of Williamsburg, S.C., to be settled by white people.
