yes,addison was his brother.they are buried together in Louisiana with rebbecca Boatwright,many assume that she is their mother,but my research on her seems to contradict this,i seem to have hit a brick wall with his parents.

---

thank you for your reply,its appreciated.-joyce

---

thank you very much.let me know if you find something definite,please?

---

I think issac and Catherine are correct.thank you so much.

---

I don't have anything definite about Isaac and Catherine yet. They seem to be in the right place at the right time, though.

Was Isaac's father's name Nicholas?

---

I'm not sure maybe??

---

thank you for helping.i was told that his daughter my 2x ggmother was a member of dar,did Nicholas serve in the revolutionary war?

---

sorry I mean jeffersons dau. my 2x ggrandmother was a member of dar I believe the dallas texas chapter.

I have found a geneology page by the descendants of Addison vansant jeffersons younger brother,they list Isaac vansant and anna Catherine vansant(nee crap)as the parents.isaac was a soldier in the war of 1812 and died 1860 as a private in the 15th regiment south Carolina militia.he also served as sherriff for Lexington county south Carolina 1844-48 and again 1852-56.as this appears to be well documented,i trust the information to be accurate.thank you so much for your help.anything more you might find,please don't hesitate to pass it on!
