Notes for James Grant, Jr:[JudithWall-GrantFile2589112.FTW]
Source-Marty Grant:(He doesn't believe he is related to this line of Grants.)
"A paper written in 1937 (currently on file at the Southern Historical Collection, Curry Collection at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) gives some data on this family.There is very little documentation, but what is stated seems to agree with other records and what I've been able to find.Some of the data below is known to me only by that 1937 paper prepared for a Mr. Alva M. Turner. "
"James Grant Jr began appearing in Rockingham County, North Carolina Deed records in 1795, listed as "of Caswell County, North Carolina", so he didn't move there right away."
"James Grant Jr was listed on the 1800 census in Caswll County, North Carolina. Strangely, he had no apparent wife listed with him.That makes me wonder if Elizabeth Powell was not his first wife.Either she was 2nd wife married after 1800, or else this census record is in error."
(jmw notes:the information Morton gave me is in disagreement with the 1800 notes.)
"James Grant Jr ws named in the Will of his father James Grant Sr dated 8 Dec 1801 in Caswell County, North Carolina (Book E page 177).He was the first named son, probably indicating he was the oldest child (which seems correct based on other evidence).He was also named as one of the Executors.
"James Grant Jr was named in the Will of his mother Ann Grant dated 16 Aug 1807 in Caswell County, North Carolina
(Book E page 427).He was named as a son, and also as Executor."
"James Grant was listed on the 1810 census.He was no longer liasted as "Jr" since his father was dead and there were no other James Grant's around who were older than him.This census apparently included Elizabeth Powell."
