I am new to this group, as I have recently learned that Thomas GRANT and his two brothers came to the US from Scotland about 1778-1785. He was bound out to a farmer in Kentucky as a boy to learn farming. According to the tidbit of information, one brother settled in Maine, one in Pennsylvania and one in Ohio. I suspect the one who settled in Ohio may have been Thomas. If, so, he may have been orphaned, and the family who took him in must have lived in Kentucky. We know that Thomas settled in Maury County, TN, which became Marshall County in 1836, and acquired property in the county as early as 1822. Thomas GRANT married Sarah Glover and lived in the county all his life. He died in Marshall County, TN in late 1838, without a Will; thus, his estate was handled through the courts from 1839-1841. Another version of history, which conflicts with the aforementioned data, I also recently received came from the Rutherford County, NC Wills for 1784-1833, Vol. 1, Page 85. The Will of William Grant conveyed to his wife, Mary, all of his Estate, both real and personal, including the rent arising from lotts and houses in Rutherfordton, for the support of their son, Archible, an afflicted son. And, upon her death, the land to become the property of son Thomas GRANT and his heirs forever. And, daughter, Clemy was to live with mother on land, unless they could not agree, in which to build her a house for herself. It goes on to state that other property to be divided equally, after the death of his wife, between Alexander GRANT, Andrew GRANT, Thomas GRANT, Archible GRANT and Clemy GRANT and their heirs forever. Signed January Term 1795. I have no idea if the latter reference has anything to do with the Thomas Grant I am seeking. I would appreciate any help from anyone who might have done research on my Thomas GRANT or his brothers.
