Christie, I do not have the TAG article at hand, but hopefully you will find the following useful. McHugh, Marie Tylee, "Matthew Grant-Grey, Earl of Kent: Correction," NEHGR 102:2 (Apr 1948), p. 153 has the following: "The statement that Priscilla, wife of Matthew Grant (Emi.) of Windsor, Conn., was the daughter of Rev. Anthony Grey, has been repeated again and again in various publications. I offer the following correction as the error is being included in Grant records. In view of the fact that Matthew specifically stated that his first wife, Priscilla, was born Monday, February 27, 1601 and died April 1644 age 43, the following is quite convincing: 1 - Monument and Arms of Anthony Grey, who died Nov. 9, 1643 and of his wife, Magdalene (Purfoy) who died April 16, 1653, ae 81. Their children were Priscilla b. March 14, 1609, died young. Priscilla, again, born May 7, 1615, married John St. Nicholas, Esq. 2 - The Inscription of the Monument of Priscilla reads: -- "The noble and virtuous Grey, youngest daughter of Rt. Hon. Anthony Gray, Earl of Kent... deceased September 16, 1665 in the 51st year of her age, and lyeth here interred, resting in hope." Buried Sept. 20, 1665. "Here lyeth the body of John St. Nicholas, husband of Lady Priscilla, died May 21, 1698." These items prove conclusively that Priscilla, wife of Matthew Grant, was not the daughter of Anthony Gray, Earl of Kent." This family is also discussed in Anderson's GMB 2:801-3. Anderson states, "On 29 May 1640 "mother Mathew Grant died" at Windsor [Grant 79]. This is all we know for certain of the ancestry of Matthew Grant. One possible origin which has been proposed in the past for both Matthew Grant and his wife Priscilla was seriously questioned by J. Gardner Bartlett [Gen Mag 3:63-64], and in 1948 Marie Tylee McHugh thoroughly disproved the ancestry claimed for Priscilla [NEHGR 102:153]. In 1975 George E. McCracken discussed the matter further, summarizing the efforts of others who had also rejected the Grant ancestry [TAG 51:236, 239]. The best treatment of Matthew Grant was prepared by Frank Farnsworth Starr, and includes a transcript of a personal record of vital events, which has been used frequently above [Goodwin Anc 99-110]. (This personal record was also published by Stiles [ Windsor Hist 2:303-04].) Mary Walton Ferris also treated Matthew Grant [Dawes-Gates 2:370-79]."
