Re: Donald Crane Grant

johnfryer138 — 2009-11-08 04:53:07Z

Today we found your message of 2001 regarding Donald Crane Grant. Donald was my grandfather. He married Helen McGregor Jackson in 1911 and had three daughters. He left my grandmother and in the 1930s we know he lived in Kingsford and had another family. He died in July, 1941.We wonder if you have any knowledge of his life between 1918 (when he left my grandmother) and when he died in 1941. We would be very pleased to receive any information you can give us. My mother, who is 95 years old, is Donald & Helen's middle daughter. She would dearly love to know of his life in those years.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Re: Looking for the father of Beriah Grant born 1698 Connecticut

grantcath — 2009-11-07 22:31:04Z

Martha -- your post is over 6 years ago - are you still pursuing info about Beriah?

My brother and I are descendants from this line and have just gotten stuck trying to determine his true father.

It seems that the references to a Noah Grant b. 1661 have gotten spliced together with Noah Grant b. 1693 and married to Martha Huntington. There are numerous references to him and his offspring as they lead to Ulysses Grant.

Let me know if you have made any headway in these last 6 years.

Thanks --

Can anyone tell me if the Grant families that are listed in the 1850 census of Meriwether county are related?

He enjoyed attending Naval Reunions with his wife, collecting and refurbishing old machinery, collecting Civil War memorabilia, researching family history, and hunting bear, fishing and traveling. He also enjoyed working on many projects in the community and on his farm, for he loved to work. Mr. Grant served as a Commissioner on Kent County Levy Court. In 2006, he was nominated to run for the seat in the State House of Representatives in the 33rd District. He was a life member of the N.R.A.; Past Master of Temple Lodge #9 A.F. & A.M.; Past Grand Junior Deacon of the Grand Lodge of Delaware; a member of the Knights Templar of St. Andrews Commandry No. 2; a member of the Cedarfield Rotary, the American Legion C.K.R.T.

Grant and his wife Mary Elizabeth of Milford; three daughters, Rachel F. Messick - Klensch and her husband Lew of Milford, Yolanda A. Messick and her husband Rodney L. of Milford, and Anna Marie McBane and her husband William J. McBane III of Lincoln; three sisters, Bernice Moon of Longmont, Colo., Janice Henry of Oregon, and Nancy Talbot of Cottonwood, Ariz.; one brother, Gregory Grant of Thereasa, N.Y.; and seven grandchildren, Bryant Messick, Joshua Messick, Jacob Messick, John McBane, Laura McBane, Sarah McBane, and Emily McBane. Friends called Sunday evening, Nov. 1, at the Lofland Funeral Home, 102 Lakeview Avenue, Milford. Friends also called on Monday, Nov. 2, at Lincoln United Methodist Church, Second and Butler streets, Lincoln, where services were. Burial with military honors was in Milford Community Cemetery, Rt. 113, Milford. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests contributions to the Millwood Community Center, 332 Ward Branch Lane, Milford, DE 19963; or to the Home of the Brave, 6632 Sharps Road, Milford, DE 19963

Re: Rabideau Line

Marilu1030 — 2009-10-28 02:44:49Z

I am researching one of the Robidou families. Father is Jean Baptiste Robidou (1806-1903) and mother is Maria Louisa Laplante (1798-188?) . They had 8 children.

John Baptiste, Amos, William, Mary Matilda, Joseph, Eliza, Adalaide, and Celina/ Selena. I have found the families of the first 6. I am still looking for Adalaide and Celina. Are they by chance in your book?

Thanks for your help.

I got Mrs.Ivan Grant's name from a death certificate of a relative. Her name was listed as Informant.My relative was Otto Grant Abbott. I have death certificate, orbit and newspaper articles, but have never been able to find any relatives. I thought maybe with his middle name Grant perhaps MJr. or Mrs. Ivan Grant was kin. The death certificate was 10/10/1935. Otto was from Centralia, Ill. but was visiting when he pasted away. He is buried in Loas Angeles, Cal. My family has and interesting story and the Centralia is a part I can not put together. In info you may have would be appreciated. Please let me hear from you.

Re: John Grant: SC>AL>MS

From my research, John Grant of Chester, South Carolina was my 5x great grandfather. My name is Marium Grant Williams. My father was Richard Elzie Grant son of Ben Hill Grant. My great grandfather was Elzie C. Grant, son of James B. grant, who was son of James Grant, son of John and Elizabeth Grant. I believe I've traced it back to William Grant of Scotland, but need more proof.

Let me hear from you.

William Grant - 1479

lauralevinson — 2009-10-21 20:11:18Z

I recently started doing some genealogy research thanks to a partial family tree I found while cleaning the basement. My great-grandfather was Clyde Bennett Mills, born 1888. His grandmother was Althea Ophelia Grant. Clyde Bennett is listed in both the “Tracy geneaology: ancestors and descendants of Thomas Tracy of Lenox, Massachusetts” and the “Grant Family: A Genealogical History of the Descendants of Matthew Grant, of Windsor, Conn. 1601-1898.” I have his line back to Matthew Grant of 1601 but have been trying to trace it even further back. I found one site that listed Matthew Grant’s line back to a William Grant born in 1479. I’m not sure how accurate this is though. Has anyone found any information beyond William Grant? Any help would be appreciated!

Allan Grant Born (Scotland????)1877

struthbunny — 2009-10-11 10:18:17Z

Can anyone help me to find my grandfather and or my Ancestors on his side? I know that he was born in 1877, but whether it was in India or Scotland, I know not. He died young (before 60) and he was in bad health for most of his life. He married twice, I don't know the name of his first wife, he did however have a son Trevor,born in 1906. He married my Grandmother Beatrice Maud Kenning(Kunning on the marriage certificate) when he was 37, she was 21+,at Hampstead registry office in 1914. They then went to India. He worked for the Indian Civil Service from 1892 - 1931 as Financial Registrar/Chief Inspector, and was based at Lucknow.His son Trevor also worked for the Indian Civil Service. My mother was born In Nani taal(India) in 1915,she was Heather Jane Grant.
That is ALL I know about him, my Mother never talked of them and most queries were discouraged. I would LOVE to trace him, and with my Mother now dead, I feel that my only hope is through his son from the first marriage, Trevor. If anyone out there can help me I would be SO grateful. On the marriage certificate it said that my Great Grandfathers name was Samuel Waldron Grant, and he was a Doctor of Medicine, but a geneologist could not find any trace of him.

William Robert Grant b. circa 1860, married Isabella Clay, Durham

ihateak1989 — 2009-08-12 22:24:12Z

Hi, this is my first post here and I was wondering if anyone could provide me with any more information about the man I've given details of in the title.

He's my great-great-grandfather, yet despite trying to dig up information on him I know very little that's concrete.

My Grandad has always told me that he was from Scotland, and I know for certain that he abandoned his family in the early 1890s (apparently to become a Highland Dancer!)

I've searched the BMD repeatedly, but can only find a record of his marriage to Isabella Clay in 1884 - they married in South Shields, and had five children.

Does anyone have any information about him? Help would be deeply appreciated!

Do you know Nell Brown? Do you know of Rubin, Charles, Cora (Myrtle), or Belle?

If so, I am very interested in hearing about the generations before Enoch. I was told that Enoch's father was Peter. I have also been told that there is a book that an attorney in New York compiled that traces the lineage back to Scotland.

If Oscar Grant is your great-grandfather, we could be related. Anything you can share would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Re: Family Tree of the grant family

mhancin — 2009-07-31 06:17:22Z

Oscar Grant was my great-grandfather. Some of his grandchildren are in Kansas, but some also in Missouri, my siblings and I in Arizona, and others scattered around. Annie Bailey was born in Delaware and Oscar in New York. I've traced several generations beyond Enoch. Are you just trying to go beyond Enoch, or are you specifically looking for a relation to Jesse or Ulysses S. Grant?
