Misc. Notes
John Avent settled on the north side of the Cape Fear river and established a ferry called Avent Ferry around 1775, which ran until it was replaced by a bridge in 1928 (the ferry site can easily be located on a map, in Chatham Co. where Rt. 42 crosses the Cape Fear river.). His brother Joseph settled on the south side. The river divides these branches of the family to this day.
