Vic

Did you mean mid to late 1600's? After all, there are few census's of note before 1841

Re: Grantham information

neil40 — 2009-10-15 22:33:03Z

That's a pretty big ask, when you've given us very little information, including your own name. From the username and email we can only assume you are Holly Grantham?

For example:- I have Grantham relatives in Australia, but as far as I know they aren't related to you. They moved over about 30 years ago from England.
If you gave more information on your Ancestors, you might get more back!

Rusha Grantham

ronaldrobertgrantham — 2009-09-27 03:51:25Z

Rusha Grantham is my great grandfather. He was from the Bogalusa, LA area. He and Lola Penton had a son by the name of Myrtis. I have been unable to find hardly any information about Rusha. Lola said he was a bad man and did not want to share any information. The 1900 census indicates his father was born in Louisiana and his mother in Mississippi.

Anyone have any information about Rusha Grantham

My father is Clair Harland Grantham. He died in Rawlins,WY and his buried there. My mother is Beulah F (Crusinbery) Grantham and is still living in a long term care home in my town of Edmond, OK. I am rather new at this so not sure how to reply to you. I would be happy to exchange e-mail information. Not sure who your mother would be. I knew my Uncles Olen,Vernon and my favorite Aunt was Florence Bayless, I remember my Aunt Zadell but she died from complications of the flu in the 70's as I remember. My father worked for the UNION PACIFIC RAILROAD which was the only job he could find at that time so we did not have a lot of close ties to our families in CA or KS.

Re: CLAIR GRANTHAM FAMILY

judymoonbeam — 2009-09-22 01:57:07Z

I am Clair Grantham's daughter. He passed away in Rawlins Wy and is buried there. My brother and I are his only children. Olen never married Vernon married my Aunt Lola who had 2 children but they did not have any of their own. My Aunt Florence had 3 sons, Eugene who still resides in Santa Fe CA, Leonard who passed away this spring and Virgil who passed away a year ago. My cousin Leorna Nies is in CA where she and her husband spend summers in Mono Village Ca and winter as Lake Havasue. My mother Beulah F Grantham just celebrated her 100th birthday in 08/27/2009. Lorena and my brother Paul Vernon Grantham where here with other family members to celebrate the event. Who is your mother? My father had a sister Zadell who died in the 70's I believe. Her daughter was Donna and she had a son named Jimmy Bradshaw. Zadell's first husband Raymond died in a truck accident on Wolf Creek Pass CO.

Re: CLAIR GRANTHAM FAMILY

judymoonbeam — 2009-09-22 01:47:46Z

Clair Grantham is my father. My mother Beulah F (Crusinbery) Grantham just celebrated her 100th birthday. She is living in a long term care facility in Edmond, OK. She lived in Rawlins,WY until 1987. But since my husband and I and our daughters had at that moved to Moberly, MO she left WY and made her home in MO. She has lived independently until 09/07 when she fell in her apartment. My brother, Paul Vernon Grantham is a resident of Burlingame, CA If you need more information on our immediate family to add to the family tree, I would be happy to provide it.

My name is Michelle Grantham. I am the daughter of James and Linda Grantham. My Daddy was Jack Granthams son, that would be the brother of Wallace Grantham. I know your grandmother...we called her Aunt Tina. I know most of Uncle Wallaces children, by his last wife. They live in Florida, to my knowledge. That would be Sherry, Debbie,and Ronnie. Please contact me if there is anything else that you can tell me about our family history. They were located and grew up in Bradenton Florida.
Many Thanks Michelle Grantham

My great grandmother was Lucy Ruth (Grantham) Jones, the daughter of James W and Mary (Perryman) Grantham. James W. was the son of James G. Grantham and the grandson of Silas Grantham.

I have Ruth's family photo album and am in the process of identifying the people in the photos and tintypes. And I am interested in sharing information and the photos to those who are related to me through this portion of my family tree.

Granthams from Lancashire

reactor_1 — 2009-05-11 21:47:26Z

Seeking all connections for my Lancashire Granthams. I am 3rd great grandson of George Grantham (b 1823, Manchester) and his wife Charlotte Hargreaves (b abt 1820 Manchester). Most of my Granthams so far were born in Manchester, Salford, Rochdale and some in Cheshire. I believe some Granthams left the country but so far no links there. I found (and have now lost the source(!))a very early census that showed no Granthams in Lancashire prior to mid/late 1600's and the two that showed up were stated to have come from Lincolnshire. I would be keen to link up with anyone having similar interests. My tree is on Ancestry so feel free to browse it. Cheers, Vic Grantham, Australia.

Ron Johnson here with the Grantham Gazette. Saw the earlier post and had some trouble locating the parents of Needom GRANTHAM (1900-1980), but finally found his connection. He was the son of A. Osias GRANTHAM (1870-1933) and M. F. ANDERSON (1875-1929); grandson of Needam GRANTHAM (1837-1870) and Nancy Ann PREWITT (1843-1912); greatgrandson of Leonard GRANTHAM (1814-1870) and Drusilla BENSON (1817-1850).

Osias appears in the 1910 Census Hunt Co TX with son N. C. GRANTHAM, 9.

thank you so much for your help on this - I was really stuck trying to trace the ancestry on the Grantham side. This helps tremendously. Thanks!

Needom Carroll Grantham, Wichita Falls, TX

steahm — 2009-04-07 12:06:15Z

I am looking to trace my Grantham ancestry and am stuck with my great grandfather, Needom Carroll Grantham.

I was born in Wichita Falls in 1965 where at the time, my grandparents, great grandparents and one great great grandparent were living. I have a picture of five generations from 1965 but don't know who the great great grandparent is and can't even carry it further than that.

My great grandparents, Needom Grantham(b1900/d1980) and Alice Addie Williams(b1903/d1988) had 2 children (N.C. Grantham and Joyce Grantham). They also had two that died after childbirth, one of which was named Bobbie Ray Grantham)

My grandfather, N.C. (Needom Carroll) Grantham Jr. (b1921/d1993) married Catherine Kelly (my grandmother) and they had 2 children, Needom Carroll (Butch) Grantham (my father); and Catherine Patricia Grantham who is now a Westbrook.

Re: Granthams from VA/WVA

carmencreamer — 2008-12-08 00:17:30Z

A local cousin asked that I respond to your request for information on a line of Granthams extending back from John Calhoun Grantham,b. 1851, moved from Middleway, W.V. to Chicago, Ill. According to Robert L. Bates, The Story of SMithfield (Middleway), Jefferson County, West Virginia, Privately Published in 1958: John Calhoun Grantham was the son of John Smith Grantham (1828-1901) and Lucy Ellen Shariff (m. May 9, 1850). John Smith Grantham was the son of John Grantham (b. circa 1790, d. 1835) and Phoebe Grantham (1806-1837). This John Grantham was the son of another John, who was one of the first trustees of the incorporated town of Smithfield (Middleway) in 1798 (the other trustees were Joseph Grantham, Moses Smith and John Smith. There were two more John Granthams before this last named John - hence your confusion and everyone else's (locally, there still is a John Grantham - and James, another popular Grantham first name). Essentially, a John Smith founded Smithfield, shortly thereafter joined by Granthams and both families are still represented by descendants in Middleway. Middleway was in Virginia until the Civil War; it was in the new state of West Virginia beginning in 1863. It is located in the eastern panhandle of the state, only about 5 miles from Virginia.

Re: Granthams from VA/WVA

carmencreamer — 2009-01-06 14:32:18Z

You can contact members of the Middleway Conservancy to get a copy of the Robert Bates book; they republished within the past few years. I would contact Linda Fricke, 154 East St., Middleway, WV 25430. The book was first published as two volumes together - the first, a history of Middleway (Smithfield) the second, family genealogies. The volumes have been published separately in the reprint, so you want the second volume.
Sorry I didn't answer sooner, I didn't have much time for internet over the holidays.

thank you so much for your help, I appreciate it alot.. After your last posting, I went looking for the Middleway Conservancy.. I received a e-mail from Peter Fricke telling me how to obtain them.. I've been so busy with the holidays too (I work for the post office) I haven't had a chance to order yet.. But I'm going to.. I also am going to go visit Middleway for vacation this year. Mr. Fricke indicated that his house was built by a John Grantham (we aren't sure if related but mine were carpenters, one was even the undertaker).. Thanks again for your all you help in getting me in the right direction.

His parents were John Calhoun Grantham (born in Virginia, moved to Chicago, IL) January 1852 - December 24, 1928 and Elizabeth Jane Huston February 1860 - March 11, 1928. John Calhouns parents were: John Smith Grantham January 1828 - 1901 his wife was Lucy Ellen Sharff, January 1832 - ? ... John Smiths father was John Grantham 1790 - 1835 Mother Phoebe 1806 - 1837, and all i know is there was a John before that and a john before that, etc... etc.. etc... Thanks for you help I appreciate it and I will look into that book...

CindyKahn56 — 2008-11-15 13:59:50Z

Right about now, I am beginning to hate the name John. My great great grandfather was John Smith Grantham who married Lucy Ellen Sharff in 1850. I believe his parents were John and Phebe.. Anyone else have this line??? My great grandfather John Calhoun Grantham moved to Chicago, IL. There are just too many John Granthams and I am having loads of trouble.... Can anyone help????

Re: Granthams from VA/WVA

CindyKahn56 — 2008-12-10 17:27:50Z

Thank so much for this information, and thank your cousin also. You indicated that this was a privately printed book. Do you know if a copy is available anywhere? I would be interested in purchasing a copy of it. My grandfather, Robert Grantham died before I was born. I had only met one of his sisters. And unfortunatly I didn't even think to ask about my family. My father is deceased, so all direct links to this family are gone. I do have a couple of Aunts living but they arn't very helpful. In raising my own children (who now have their own children), family has become very important to me. I want my children to know where they came from. I don't want them to have to wonder like me. This has become very interesting for me, not only knowing their names, but what their occupations were, etc... Again thank you so much for this informationa and if you know anything else about the book, and where I could get a copy of it ( I was 2 years old when it was published) please let me know..

I am unsure of her mother as I know he was married at least twice the first wife is unknown to me and his second wife was my grandmother Maggie Markland Douglas Sweeney.. Do you have any information in Florence Sweeney if so I would be very happy to share with you what information I have as well.

Hi my name is Tracey-Ann grantham and I am researching anyone that has my surname. I am not married so this is my maiden surname and I would love to find out a little more on my history and heritage. I am orginally from South Africa so it would be great to know if I have family else where in the world. I do know that my Great Grandfather was a German man and we also have noble blood, so any information that you might be able to furnish me with will be greatly appreciated.

My wife is descended from a Grantham line in which NEEDHAM is a recurring name. Obviously NEEDHAM could readily become NEEDOM, and both are unusual names. Maybe we need to compare notes. If we can forge a link, I have documented information on some Granthams going back to 17th-century Virginia. If you wish, you may contact me off-list at pcpalmer@gvtc.com. I grew up in Vernon TX, by the way.

James III moved to Tennessee from No. Carolina and then Noel moved to Bollinger county, Missouri. I would be interested in any info that might apply to this line of family.
