Could John have had a son, John? In Smith's "History of Armstrong County, PA, I find a John Grinder who purchased land in Putneyville in Mahoning Twp., in 1850. Then there is a mention of a Jonathan Grinder in the 159th Regiment --Fourteenth Cavalry, serving as a private in the Civil War. Then there is mention of Jonathan Grinder and three other men erecting Phoenix Furnace in Red Bank Twp., in 1846. Although, your John died in 1839, maybe there is a brother, uncle or son here--especially the John mentioned in Red Bank. There is a David A. Grinder (10/6/1868--6/4/1892) buried in Stitt Family Burying Ground, Parks Twp., Laurel Point, Armstrong Co.
