Revision History:

26 Feb 2009 New page by Marty Grant, relationship unknown.

Duncan D. Grant was born ca 1815/16 per his age on the 1850 census (34). His 1850 census entry lists his birth place as South Carolina. I would guess Marlboro Dist., SC, but it could be somewhere else in the state.

I don't know who Duncan's parents are. In 1840 and 1850 there is an older woman living with him. In 1850 she is listed as "Aggy" age 79 (born ca 1770/71). A natural assumption is that she is his mother. If so, I don't know who his father was. It is also possible this is his mother-in-law and not his mother, and mistakenly listed as a Grant in 1850.

Duncan would have been about 4 years old by the time of the 1820 census. Richard S. Grant (1780/84) and Malachi Grant (c1790) were the only Grants in Marlboro at that time. Malachi had two apparent sons under 10 (born ca 1810/20). One of those could be Duncan. Richard had no sons that age in 1820 though there were other problems with his 1820 census entry.

By 1830 Duncan would have been about 14 years old. Richard and Malachi were both in Marlboro still and both had apparent sons aged 10-14 (born ca 1815/20).

Duncan D. Grant married Sarah (---) sometime in the 1830's, before ca 1839. She was born ca 1824/25 per her age in 1850. I don't know her maiden name.

They are in Marlboro for the 1840 census, but not listed near the other Grants.
