    1. Re: Granger/Grainger
    2. Ron Hall
    3. Attempting to learn more about my Granger/Grainger heritage of Horry Co. The history as I have it now is included below. The Furney who heads the line may have been properly named Furneford, possibly the son of a Samuel Grainger of Horry Co. At this point, I'm wondering if the Willis listed may have actually been the son of one of Furney's brothers. I'm wondering as I was recently informed that the James R. listed as another of his sons was apparently the son of a John Grainger who ended up in Pike Co, AL. Would appreciate any help that can be offered. Thanks, Ron Hall Descendants of Furney Granger Generation No. 1 1. FURNEY1 GRANGER was born 17651, and died before 1840 in Jefferson Co, FL.
