I have a nebulous connection to the Grant family... Mary (Polly) Levi [1808-1849], youngest daughter of Judah & Mary (McGraw) Levi of Mason Co, KY, married Roswell M. Grant. Roswell was the brother of Jesse Root Grant, who was the father of U.S. Grant. Roswell & Jesse were sons of Noah and Rachel (Miller) Grant. So Mary was married to Ulysses S. Grant's uncle and her children would have be his first cousins. My ancestor Elias Levi was the older brother of Mary (Polly) Levi. This Grant information came from: Grant,Arthur Hastings. THE GRANT FAMILY. Press of A. V. Haight, Poughkeepsie, NY. 1898 which I got through interlibrary loan at my local library.
