SUZIE: Your lineage looks vaguely like the COROMONIE GRANTS of Sunny Brae. Are you sure about the following details?: My 2nd gg; Alexander Grant, b. abt 1834, East River, Pictou, NS, marr. 30 Dec 1856 to Nancy/Annie Ross, and died 24 Oct 1881, at Sunnybrae, Pictou. My 3rd gg; Robert Grant, chr. 9 Jul 1797 at Glen Urquhart, Inverness, Scotland, marr. 29 Jul 1824 at Pictou to Mary McDonald. He died bef 171 at Sunnybrae, I believe. Mary died about 1883 BILL DORGAN Owner/Moderator MACKENZIE GENEALOGY YAHOO GROUP http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MACKENZIE_GENEALOGY/ website: www.mackenziefamilytree.com

Hello Bill, I appreciate your reply to my query. I understand that John Grant (1750-1770) was probably not the son of James Grant, 1725 (Hector immigrant) Other than that, I think I am on the right track as far as the rest. Alexander Grant, b. abt 1834, is found on the 1871 and 1881 census with his son, my 1st gg, WILLIAM GRANT, b. abt 1867. Then, Robert Grant, b. 9 July 1797, b. Urquhart, died bef 1871. His wife Mary, 64, b. NS., widowed, is on the 1871 East Branch, East River census, living next door to my Alexander Grant and his family. She is also on the 1881 census of East River, as is Alexander and his family. You mentioned the COROMONIE GRANTS of Sunny Brae. I am not familiar with the term Coromonie. Could you enlighten me, and perhaps share where I might check this out? One other researcher had said that John Grant (1750-1770) was son of James Grant, b. 1725, but I do not have her sources. Perhaps she somehow figured that John was the son who did not come with his parents and siblings on the Hector, 1773. Now to try to prove who the parents actually were. Hmmm. Any suggestions?
