The name Conant, or one of its variations, is an ancient name and probably of C eltic (western and central Europe) origin as the name Conan appears about in th e 10th century (Conan I, Duke of Normandy, died 992) (AR line 121); Conan III, died 1148, Duke of Brittany (AR line 119).The present day Conants have probably descended from a Devonshire, England family bearing that name in 1327. The fi rst of whom a line can actually be traced is that of a John Conant. He appar ently lived in the parish of East Budleigh, Devonshire, England (which was an a djoining town) as he was a taxpayer there in 1571. In 1577 he was a warden of t he church there. He was buried 30 Mar. 1596. He was probably the son of another JOHN CONANT who died in Gittisham in Sept. 1559.
They had a son named Richard.
