My gr gr grandfather, Thomas Whitted is buried in the old portion of Hunter Cemetary. Does anyone know who is responsible for the upkeep there. I would like to do some cleaning up in the old section this Spring. David Whitehead

This is a periodic search for anyone who might be related to my gggrandfather, Thomas Grant. Thomas Grant was born about 1778 and died in 1836 in Marshall County, TN. His year of birth was derived from a Marshall County court deposition taken in July, 1838, wherein his age was listed as "60," though it could be in error. Thomas married Sarah Glover, sister of Christina Glover, who married James Davis. They had a number of children: Howard b. abt. 1802 John b. abt. 1805 m. Martha Shannon January 1, 1838 Richard G. b. Feb. 22, 1808 m. Adaline Caroline Fowler abt. 1829 Mary Margaret b. abt. 1810 m. David R. Looney Levinia b. abt. 1814 m. Early Reasonover Jan. 1835 James Davis (my ggrandfather) b. Jan. 6, 1818 m. Sarah Elizabeth Talley Jul. 14, 1840. After her death, m. Tennie Caroline Talley Jan. 6, 1869 Mary "Mollie" Virginia b. Jan. 27, 1857 m. John M McMillian Jan 27, 1875 Minnesota "Minnie" Talley b. bet. 1859-1860 m. Patrick Taylor Calvert Dec. 22, 1874 Victoria b. Jun. 2, 1862 Steven D. b. Dec. 20, 1864 Most, if not all of the children were born in Maury County, TN. The exception might be those who were born around 1800 - 1810. I can not determine when Thomas arrived in Maury County. I do know he was there in 1815. There have been several stories passed down through time regarding the early life of my Thomas Grant, none of which I can confirm. Perhaps, one of them is true. Because several brothers and parts of the country are mentioned, there may be some other Grant lineages around that may be connected to Thomas Grant. Here is what I have been told by family members: According to information handed down by Talley Grant of Franklin, TX (date unknown), Thomas and two brothers came directly from Scotland. One brother apparently settled in Maine, one in Pennsylvania and the remaining brother moved to Ohio. According to the story, Thomas ended up in Kentucky, possibly as the result of being orphaned and indentured to a farmer to learn the farming trade. Another story circulating through the family is that the three brothers fled Scotland when England took over the lands and took everything the Scots owned, leaving them with only pieces of land to live on. Their traditions and clothing attire were considered treason by the British and the Scots could be thrown in prison for such displays. As a result of the oppression, many Scots fled their country for America. Because they were virtually poor at that point, they indentured themselves for seven years to other families to gain passage to America. Thomas and his brothers were believed to have been indentured. They may have arrived on the Carolina Coast and migrated west, however, most suggest that those coming from Scotland landed around the Upper East Coast. We know that he later moved to Tennessee and settled in Maury County. Recently, I have located some other Thomas Grant's who were in the Revolutionary War and enlisted in 1776 in Massachusetts. One served with his father, Thomas Grant, in his father's Company and John Glover's Regiment. He was married to Lydia Stacy and they lived in Marbleshead, Essex County, MA. Another Thomas Grant, from Noblesborough, Lincoln County, MA, enlisted in 1775 in John Glover, Jr's Company and John Glover (Sr.)'s Regiment. The age of these Grant's make them prime candidates as parents of my Thomas Grant; however, it is only a chance. I have no evidence to suggest the relationship, but am seeking anyone who can confirm or dispute it. I have been participating in a DNA study through FamilyTreeDNA.com, wherein we now have 53 Grant's in the project. We have several matches in the group and I match closely with three of them. The lineage of the other participants is most interesting, however, we have yet to find the common link. I am at a distinct disadvantage in that I can only go back to the 5th generation, while others go back much further. If you have run into a brickwall and can not find any new information about your lineage, and are a male Grant, you might want to consider participation in the Grant DNA study offered through FamilyTreeDNA.com.

Very interesting and useful website! Has lots and lots of other links to other sites! http://politicalgraveyard.com/index.html "Only a genealogist regards a step backwards as progress."

One of the sayings my Kentucky grandmother had was "rip-staving" as in, "Don't be so rip-staving!" It meant going so fast that you aren't careful. The only thing I could ever imagine that the term came from was in making staves for kegs. The method of ripping up the wood for staves must have been so fast that it was rather dangerous. Does anybody else know that term? Shirley

Thanks. I know I looked at a couple of other books on 1812 vets from TN and Jacob FISHER wasn't in either of those. However, someone was able to come up with some kind of documentation that he served in the war. I just don't know what it was. We have a pretty good LDS genealogy here in Mesa, AZ but they don't own the book. Salt Lake has it so I may order a microfilm copy. I wanted to first see if someone on the list might own it.
