Marlboro County, SC Grants

harding_r — 2012-05-24 02:21:39Z

I am looking for information on the Grant line of my tree. I know that Lucy Ann Grant (1858) married William McBride. I have found census information that confirms Lucy's parentage as John Grant (1818) and Margaret Smith. I would like to get more information on John.

The 1870 census lists John Grant's occupation as SC Legislature. He is listed as "white" in all of the census records yet I found a website with an article commemorating all of the African-American descended SC legislatures with his name and Marlboro District next to it. I haven't found anything else to confirm this. Also, I believe that John's parents were Malachi and Penelope, but again I have not been able to confirm this. Anyone have good information on John's parents, siblings and children?

Hi, I'm trying to research a John Edward Grant (9051 Hampshire Regiment) who died 12-05-1917, buried in Latvia, aged 26.
That would make his birth around 1892/3. I have one record of 1911 Census showing Father John & Mother Alice/Eliza. I have got siblings as Ethel, Fred, Mabel, Robert H(1900-01), Robert, Nellie and Sammut.
If you are related I'd like to hear from you.

Robert U. Grant b. 1871 or 1881 PA; orphaned; d. 1961 TX

The Breckenridge American
Breckenridge, Texas (Vol. 32, No. 120, Ed. 1)
Wednesday, May 21, 1952
Robert Grant, 81, Celebrates With Birthday Party
Robert Grant celebrated his 81st birthday last week with a turkey dinner at his home, 1003 E. Wheeler. Several out-of-town guests were there.
The honoree was born in Oil City, Pa., May 16, 1871, and was orphaned at 18 months, at which time he and his two sisters were placed in the first orphanage established in the U.S., by the Odd Fellows Lodge. This was in Meadville, Pa.
He is at present a machinest [sic] for the Chemical Process Co.
Out-of-town guests were Mr. and Mrs. Carl Acuff of Fort Worth, and Mr. and Mrs. A. H. Henderson of Oklahoma City. Breckenridge persons attending were Mr. and Mrs. C. K. West, and Miss Gerraine West.
Grant is a member of the Odd Fellows and the First Methodist Church here.
Note: I am not sure that Robert was born in 1871. His age in the 1930 census, 49, implies that he was born in 1881.

I hope this is what I scribbled down:
CT Loyalists: United Empire Loyalists

I just Binged the title and it may have been written by W. Stewart Wallace. There is quite a bit under Bing which I just now see, maybe more reading is in order. Lyle

Do you know the exact name of the book? I can try to get it, too. (I'm a trustee at our town Library and they are often able to get me (unloanable) reference books.)

Re: Duncan Grant b. about 1788 in Canada married Cynthia

1_tazzama60 — 2012-04-25 15:08:36Z

The possibilty is that Cynthia Bishop's parents were Loyalists who fled from CT to Canada during the Rev War. I know there is a book that lists families from CT who were Loyalists, going to see if our Lib can get it for me. Of course that only works if they haden't already moved west by that point.

Charles O Grant and Rosey Grant of Charleston

Inhabitedvoid — 2012-04-14 13:03:43Z

I have family photos of Charles O. Grant, Rosey Alice Grant, and a Mr. and Mrs. Grant (I think her maiden name was McCarvel) from Charleston, SC.

From the pictures, it appears that the children are under 10 years old, and they appear to have been taken between 1860 and 1900.

Please contact me if you have any information on these people.

I said The Grants were from Virginia which is what the Hobbs and Related Vol. I said, so, I said exactly what was in the book. The information was submitted from one of the daughters of Sarah Web Grant sho had told her or from it the from the family bible.

Stop and think, these boats coming over in the 1700's
may be from 65 to 200 feet long, I am guessing. I know the ships that left Ireland with the orphaned children held anywhere from 150 children to 350 children with a 3 or 4 Nuns and a crew plus food for the trip. I know the Carolinas, and Georgia had a lot of swamp or low land at the Atlantic Ocean shore and the boats had to find a deep river to go inland to unload. That is probably why so many people entered Virginia or Maryland, then, they migrated south by the one or two trails that had been cleared ahead of them. They may have entered in Virginia and moved south to North Carolina or South Carolina. Find the maps on internet that show these trails in the 1670's to the 1800's.

I asked my dad "Why did Ford make the Model A & T high off the ground? He replied "Because wagons were high off the ground so they would not catch on a tree stump. The roads were cleared for trails and they left the tree stumps so the wagons or horses had to go over or around the tree stumps. The first hard top roads were made from hand made bricks. Many towns in the USA still have the brick paved streets/road. The bricks asorb the oil and grease dripping
from over the years. There is now a product that will go down into the brick and remove the grease/oil. They do not have to take the bricks up to clean them as in old years. Good luck Jeannine
