My 8 greats grandfather, Ludovic Grant, also came to America from Scotland in 1716 on the Savannah. He stayed in SC for a while and then moved to Georgia. He married Mary of the Long Hair clan (Cherokee) and has thousands of descendants here. He hated the King of England till the day he died. Pat Lyle Kramer 1.
