We now have three genealogy files on this site: our main database which is a combined ‘Ives-Leedom’ tree, plus two additional working trees with so-far unconnected people I've found along the way, ‘Leedoms-unknown’ and ‘Netherlands-unknown’. All of the Search results will identify which tree contains the individual or place in question.

Different sources sometimes have conflicting information and there are undoubtedly a few typographical errors in here as well. Please feel free to send us any corrections to errors you may find in our files. Additions are always welcome too!

      '20th Century History of Berrien Co MI' - Simeon Brant came to Berrien Co in 1836 with his wife and eleven children.

      Note: The compiler of this genealogy (Scott Ives) is not a Brant descendant but I am very interested in the family because of connections to two Moore families - that of Benjamin and Harriet Moore and of Fairbanks and Aseneth Moore. These connections not just in Berrien Co MI after 1840, but extending back to Ontario and Wayne Co NY and Erie Co PA in the 1820 and 1830s. Though I lack definite proof on the following I believe Benjamin and Fairbanks Moore were brothers (sons of another Fairbanks Moore), that Simeon Brant's son Artexes married Aseneth, the widow of Fairbanks Moore (probably as his second wife) and that Simeon's son John married Phebe Moore, daughter of Fairbanks Moore, and then Aseneth Moore, daughter of Benjamin Moore - Phebe and Aseneth Moore 1st cousins possibly.
