Suzie, In a newsletter written by R.H.Ward for the Free Lance in 1919 it says that James Grant of Millstream had a John, but John, the eldest son of James Grant, did not come on the Hector with his family. It is thought he later may have emigrated to America. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected] Sent: Wed, 25 Apr 2007 10:29 PM Subject: Re: [CAN-NS-PICTOU] GRANT, IAIN; GRANT, JAMES; GRANT, ALPIN; GRANT, PETER; GRANT, MARY; of East River Hi Bruce, I am basically trying to research the following: 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. My 4th gg: John Grant, b. 1750/1770 at Glen Urquhart, marrying abt 1770/1789 to Margaret McIntosh. He died about 1826 at Sunnybrae. My 5th gg; James Grant, b. abt 1725 at Glen Urquhart, marrying Janet Grant on 13 Feb 1755 Inverness, Scotland. I believe they lived at Millstream, Pictou, NS. My suggested 6th gg: Iain (John) Grant, b. abt 1705 of Glen Urquhart, Inverness, Scotland (Loch Meikle, Sct.) I don't know who his wife was, but do believe he had 3 children: James, my 5th gg, Alpin, b. 15 mar 1740, chr 16 Mar 1740, Meikle, Inverness, Sct., possibly died about 1828, of East River, Pictou, NS. Also, a possible daughter Mary. Not sure if all the above is correct, would appreciate corrections and advice. Will be glad to share what I have. Thanks for your reply.

Yes, I did read that in several places. I guess the person who told me that James Grant was father of John Grant, (b. 1750/70 and died abt. 1826 at Sunnybrae, marr. to Margaret McIntosh) must have assumed John came later to Pictou, settling in Sunnybrae. Thanks for your reply to my query. I need all the help I can get. Suzie
