Hello to all, I'm researching my great-great-great grandfather, Addison Samuel Grant, was born about 1815 in SC. I think he was born in the area between Chester and Newberry Co. At the time most Grant families lived in the Armenia section of Chester Co. but they were starting to migrate west, through SC GA and beyond. Addison bought 53 ac of land on the Sandy Run creek that flows into the Little River in Newberry Co. around 1840. He married Sarah/Sally Neely about 1839 and on the 1840 census for Newberry he was listed with one son under 5 yrs. Addison died in Jan. of 1848, in Newberry Co. He left his wife Sarah and four sons and one daughter; George W., William H., John S. and Andrew A. Grant, and Mary Francis his daughter. He left no will but the estate was adm. by a Joseph Davenport, he owned land next to Addison's property. Sarah remarried in 1850 to a Benjamin Fooshe, the family disappears after the 1860 census. I have found that three of the sons were in the Civil War, George, William and John. George lived in Anderson Co. SC after the War and died in the town of Pelzer in the 1890's If any one has any info on this family line, please contact me I have more info on the later members of this family and would like to share info. Thanks, Eddie in Belton
