She was the daughter of Peter Grant Senior from Lancaster. Her younger brother, Peter Grant Jr. was a shoemaker in Lancaster and married Jenet Ross. This marriage resulted in no children. From Peter Junior's will, I have pieced together a family tree for Peter Senior of Lancaster. Peter Senior was born in Scotland about 1740. His wife was Margaret Ross and was born in Scotland about 1745. They had (at least) the following children: Flora born 1781 (married to John Ban Grant),Peter Junior born 1784 (no children), Isabella born 1788 (married to James Farrell), and Alexander (?). Since there are the Scottish naming patterns to work with, Flora, who was married to John Ban Grant has a daughter named Flora Grant (she was born in 1815 and married John McArthur) so I don't think this is your Flora. It is possible your Flora could be from this Lancaster group though. As JYoung points out, the McDonnells and! Grants had many connections. I haven't sorted the Alexander out from this group (so many Alexanders). Perhaps your Flora is from this group or maybe (probably) there are more children from Peter Senior that I haven't identified and they may have had a Flora. I just thought I would throw this out as a possibility. All the best, Barb Gressel Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
