Notes - I agree that Susanna Gough married a Dant, but I don't know that it's necessarily true that it was John Baptist Dant. She wasn't married at the time of her father's will in 1764 but she was by 1767 when her mother made hers. Linda Reno
In my opinion, there is not enough proof to indicate that Susanna Gough was married to John Baptist Dant. She could have been a first wife of Charles Dant (brother of John Baptist Dant).
Deed to Charles Dant from Abraham Rhodes for "Part of Addition", 18 ac., 6/7/1787 (Chr. of SM). Remember that Abraham Rhodes was the husband of Mary Gough, daughter of James and Priscilla.
So....at least for the time being, I show Susanna Gough married to _____Dant. Linda Reno

According to what I have now:
John Baptist Dant m. first, Ann ____, widow of Matthew Elliott, before 1/10/1786 (Matthew Elliott died in 1779). He m. second, Elizabeth Mattingly (dau. of John Mattingly, Jr. and Elizabeth Brewer) widow of Thomas Shercliffe, 09 Aug 1792 in Nelson Co., KY.
I have Susanna Gough married to _____Dant, but don't have his first name. They were married between 1764-1767. She could have been the first wife of Charles Dant or a first wife of John Baptist Dant. Other possible husbands were 2 more sons of John Dant and Eleanor--James or Joseph Francis Xavier. It's one of them, that's for sure.
No record of an Elizabeth Hopewell Shercliffe.
