Wheeling Gaunt, (circa 1812 - 1894) was born a slave in Carrollton, Kentucky, USA. He worked part-time to buy himself and subsequently amassed wealth in real estate. Around 1860 Gaunt sold his Kentucky holdings, and moved with his first Amanda to Yellow Springs, OH where he purchased substantial real estate assets. He used his wealth in support of the American Methodist Episcopal and Wilberforce University.
