!NOTE:From Carol Voiles:
I found this yesterday - on 8 May 1770 in Rowan County NC: "Rachel Grant,
orphan of James Grant, dec'd, 12, bound to William Grant for 6 years as is
Michael Grant, 3, for 18 years to learn art and mastry of a weaver."

As best I can tell, this William Grant is probably the William who married
Elizabeth Boone and moved to KY with the Daniel Boone group.
