The Gist Family-Avant Gist Sr., Fannie Gist, JC Gist, Fannie Pearson, Annie Lee Gist, Israel Gist, Javant Gist, and Laura Ann Gist. Avant Gist Sr. never did anything nor did Fannie Gist. This parasitic couple just bred mindlessly and had more children than they could afford. This sorry excuse of a family have always depended upon outside support i.e. relatives. Relatives have supported this family for 3-4 generations.

This family is mired in poverty. No one of them amounted to anything. There is a new generation of parasites who live at 445 Ridge Road and the surrounding area. Other relatives supported this family and the family have become entitled. They expect, even demand that others carry them. Javant Gist lives on 405 Ridge Road, Wellford, SC 29385-he doesn’t pay for anything at all. Laura Cates, Kathy Lavern Cates, and the queen of the freeloaders, Betty Ann Gist, live on 305 Ridge Road, Wellford, SC 29385-they also expect other relatives to SUPPORT them. They never paid for anything in their lives.

Other branches of the family AVOID them like the plague. They know that they are no-good. This is the only branch who refuse to improve themselves at all. Why should they-they are supported by OTHER RELATIVES. It is other relatives who fed, clothed, and paid for their living quarters. NO ONE of them ever paid for anything-they have LIVED FREE ALL OF THEIR LIVES. JAVANT GIST- 405 RIDGE ROAD, WELLFORD, SC 29385; LAURA CATES, KATHY LAVERN CATES, AND BETTY ANN GIST-305 RIDGE ROAD, WELLFORD, SC 29385.
