The McLeods and the Arrants were neighbors and members of the same churches. The earliest generations were witnesses to documents and the younger generations married each other. Perhaps most important to our McLeod history is the marriage of Angus McLeod II, youngest son of Alexander and Sarah McIntosh McLeod, to Eliza Ann Arrants, daughter of William Arrants and Charity Blyther.

Included on this page are references to some of the records found showing the nature of the relationship between the two families - as more records are found, they will be added to this page.

Generation One (Earliest Known Ancestor)

Johannas Arrants b. bef Aug 1717 and d. Bef. Nov 28, 1766 in Cecil County Maryland married cr. 1743 in Cecil County Maryland to Sarah Phillips b. unknown d. before 1751 in Cecil County Maryland. Johannes married Elizabeth Veazey on 21 Mar 1751/1752 at St. Anne's Episcopal Church, North Elk Neck, Cecil County, Md. Michell Wilson Ligon (Blue font indicates information found at link)

Occupation: Cordwainer (leather worker/shoemaker) Religion: Episcopalian

Information from Arrants family history.

I am looking for information on Johannes Arrants who lived in Cecil Co. Maryland from 1720 -1766. He had sons Harmon, Nathan and William. Harmon's branch went to TN, William stayed in Maryland, Nathan died in Maryland but his wife remarried and took 4 sons from first marriage to Kershaw, SC. If anyone can help with the family after they moved to Kershaw, South Carolina. I would appreciate it. My grand mother was Mabel D. Arrants Ashley, she was born in Camdan, South Carolina on Nov. 29, 1882. She had a sister named Jennie and brother named Burnette. She Married Mosley Samuel Ashley and moved to Waxhaw, North Carolina. Their were 6 children in the family. Thomas Burnette, Donald, Edwin, Jennie Louise, Miriam, and Frances Roland. Help! Message Board

Note: according to "Marylanders to Carolina" - two Arrants brothers, Harmon and Johannas left Maryland along with business partners Thomas Bloom and Zebulon Rudolf after the Revolutionary War and migrated to Kershaw District SC. A third brother, called Nathan, was reportedly drowned in the Potomac River during the War of 1812. The book does not specify if Nathan migrated to SC with his brothers. However.....

Generation Two below is that of a Nathan Arrants born in Maryland and died 1777, no state specified. "Marylanders to Carolina" states that the Nathan who drowned in the Potomac in 1812 left no descendants...yet, we have many descendants of Nathan Arrants. See Note continued below:

Generation Two

Nathan Arrants b. August 1717 d. between 23 May 1776 and 3 Mar 1777. He was a Revolutionary War soldier, married to Ann (--?--) -

Note Ann reportedly, along with four sons, migrated to Kershaw District SC after the death of Nathan. Those sons were reportedly Johannas, Nathan and Harmon (plus one unnamed) YET - there has to be some generational confusion .....Nathan died in Maryland in 1777 - yet there are children said to be his born in SC as late as 1815..... obviously, this cannot be.....it possibly was Elizabeth Veazey Arrants (see previous generation above) who migrated after the death of her husband with four sons.....those sons must have brought their own children with them - those children are then represented in the following information - however, as already stated this Nathan reported drowned in 1812 leaving no descendants...:

Question: Which Arrants widow migrated to Camden SC with four sons? If it was Ann, did she remarry another Arrants in SC in order for additional Arrants children to be born as late as 1815 in that state? Which Nathan drowned in the Potomac leaving no descendants? If you can help sort this out, please email.

Land Location: 1812 On November 17th 1812, Alexander McLeod purchased from Micajah Woodward 225 acres located "the same more or less situate in the district aforesaid" (meaning more or less in Kershaw District) on Horsepen Branch on the waters of the Scape Or and Black River.

Chapter 24 Ima Arrants The Terrible Cleveland fire By: J.O. Moseley

"When our mother (Laura Jane F. Barnes Moseley} was having her last illness, over three years ago, Ima passed by her home each day on her way to school, and she always wanted to know how Aunt Laura was and when mother thought of what she wanted done with her faithful old buggy horse, Mary, she said to Ima's mother, whom she knew would be kind to the old animal, that she was hers.

Ima was a very bright 17-year-old girl, and when we visited the afflicted home we heard of her heroic efforts to save herself and save her little brother, but finding it impossible to extricate herself and save the boy, too, she forced the boy through a small opening that remained at the top of the pile of humanity, and thus saved his life.

But a that, the child's arms were burned to a crisp to its elbows and the mother of Ima saved her own life by jumping from the upstairs window, but was crippled and possibly otherwise injured for life.

But here we found a stern determination to bestow upon those left behind all the loving care and training to make of them useful men and women. Ima was a niece of M. L. and B. G. McLeod and grand-niece of M. B. McLeod, who were also burned to death in this disaster, mention of whom has already been made."

1856 - On August 28th Alexander E. McLeod sold a tract of land containing 100 acres on the Horsepen Branch.

He retained the rights to raise a mill dam and flood the 100 acres if he should ever chose to do so.

DNA - Recent DNA test results indicate that Philip Voiles/Voyles/Viles (b. 1830 in Greene Co., TN ) was of an Aaron/Arrant line which changed its name for whatever reason to Voiles. Philip Voiles' DNA markers indicate he is related to Benjamin b. 1804 SC and Joseph Aaron b. 1804 SC. Michelle Wilson Ligon
