Hello, My name is Ann Davant Crehore and I came across Marian's obituary in a Google alert I set up so that whenever the name DAVANT is in the news, I receive an email. I have been able to locate a long lost cousin through this service.
While I didn't know Marian I assume we are all related through John Davant who arrived in America landing in Tybee in 1733 - and being the only survivor of the Davant clan that came over from England.
I am intrigued that we share the love of sailing which I learned from my father, Eugene Milburn Davant at a very early age. I managed to marry a sailor and both of our children share this magical mode of transportation and recreation!
I send my condolences and only wish we had been able to enjoy a sail together.
Peace be with you,
Ann
