I had a copy and apparently lost an entry from one of the Maury County Records wherein Thomas Grant was a witness to a transaction involving attorney James K. Polk. It would have occurred either in the 1820's or early to mid-1830's. If anyone has access to the books wherein the entry might have been recorded, I would appreciate lookup and the text entry. It was rather short as I remember, maybe 7-8 lines. Incidentally, I am seeking any information regarding Thomas Grant and wife Sarah Glover. Thomas was born about 1778, was noted in the county records starting in 1815 and died in Marshall County (the part of Maury that was carved out) in 1838. The primary focus of my search is his and Sarah's parents. His accounting prior to 1815 are still hidden. We don't know for sure where he came from or how he migrated to Tennessee. But, stories suggest he came from Scotland with 2 brothers as an indenture person. He was probably fairly young, if the story is true. One could surmise that his parents came from Scotland via England, but I have no way to prove that either. Two strong connections through the Grant DNA project indicate a prior connections to Grants who were in Canada at some point. I am just grasping at straws right now.
