A History of the Grant Family of Western North Carolina (Two Vols.), by Marvin A. Grant, Jr. © 2003

Western North Carolina was home to many Grant families, almost all of whom were related to each other (whether they knew it or not.) I have documented the family of William and Mary Grant who came to Rutherford County, North Carolina from Virginia before the Revolutionary War. They are the ancestors of a huge number of Grants who settled in various parts of Western North Carolina and Eastern Tennessee as well as many other states. Volume One contains all the known descendants of William and Mary (---) Grant.

Volume Two contains information on other Grant families in the area as well as information on related families of Mackey, Bradley, Morris and Dalton.
