Marty and Karla Grant

!NOTES:Name is James Grant per Jan 1824 court record.
!NOTES:Name is James A. Grant per May 1824 court record related to above.
!NOTES:Name is A. B. Grant according to 1841 marriage bond.
!NOTES:Name is Burton Grant according to D/C of son John and D/C of son George.
!NOTES:All of above works out to James Albert Grant, of which "Burton" or "Burt" would be a common nickname for "Albert". A. B. Grant would be "Albert Burton Grant" which isn't exactly correct, but not an uncommon way for people to confuse us with nicknames on public records. I have no doubt A. B. Grant and James Albert "Burton" Grant are the same person.;
