I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Hiram Grant.
Hiram Grant was born ca 1802/03 (per 1850 census) or ca 1799/1800 (per 1860 census), in North Carolina, presumably Greene County.
I have no direct evidence, but it seems likely that Hiram is a son of Lewis Grant (c1775), as Lewis was the only Grant in the area old enough to be his father, and they did live in the same vicinity, and Hiram did name one of his sons "Lewis".
Hiram would have been about 7 to 10 years old by the time of the 1810 census. Unfortunately this census is lost for Greene County.
He would have been between 17 and 20 years old for the 1820 census. His apparent father Lewis had no sons that age, but he did have an unidentified son age 10-15 (born ca 1804/10). This could be Hiram, or it may be someone else. At 17-20, Hiram could have been living with another family as a hired laborer.
Hiram married Laney --- sometime before 1828. She was born ca 1808/09, probably in Greene County. I don't know her maiden name.
Hiram Grant was listed on the 1830 census in Greene County next door to his father Lewis Grant. John Creech was the neighbor on the other side.

Hiram was still in Greene County for the 1840 census. He was next door to probable brother Richard Grant (c1815), and still next door to John Creech. Nancy Grant (1790/1800), a probable Aunt was just four houses away.

They were still in Greene County for the 1850 census, just a few houses from brother Richard Grant. Hiram's neighbors were the Starkey Creech family on one side, and the Lucy Creech family on the other. John Creech (his neighbor in 1830 and 1840) was just two houses away.

In 1860, Lewis and Laney were living with their son Thomas and his wife in Greene County, in Hookerton District.

They were still in Hookerton for the 1880 census, and next to son Thomas Grant. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.
Hiram and Laney had three children per the census records. The two sons are proven by still being home in 1850. The daughter's name ("Lazzie" Stallings, wife of Henry Stallings) was shared with me by Charles Robert Grant. I found her on the census, and she does match the unknown daughter born ca 1825/30 who was with Hiram in 1830 and 1840, so it seems likely she belongs here.
Elizabeth Grant was born ca 1825/26 (per 1850 census), presumably in Greene County, North Carolina. I have no direct proof that she is Hiram's child, nor that she was a Grant. Hiram did have an unknown daughter born ca 1825/30 who was with him in 1830 (age "under 5", born ca 1825/30) and still home in 1840 (age 10-14, born ca 1825/30), but gone by 1850, so probably married or dead by then.
Robbie Grant (Charles Robert Grant), told me that there was a "Lazzie Grant" in this family who married Henry Stallings. A quick check of the 1850 census showed Henry Stallings and wife Elizabeth. "Lazzie" must be a nickname for Elizabeth, for I am sure this is the same couple.
Elizabeth "Lazzie" Grant married Henry Stallings sometime before ca 1848 in Greene County. He was born ca 1819/20. I don't know his parents.
They were listed on the 1850 census just a few pages from her parents. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.
I haven't followed up on them.
Lewis F. Grant was born ca 1827/28 (per 1850 census) in Greene County, North Carolina. He was probably named for his grandfather Lewis Grant. He was apparently home with his parents in 1830 (age "under 5", born ca 1825/30), and home in 1840 (age 10-14, born ca 1825/30). He was home with his parents in 1850 ("Lewis" age 22, born NC).
Lewis married Margaret --- sometime between 1850 and ca 1856, presumably in Greene County. Margaret was born ca 1837/38. I don't know her maiden name.
They were listed on the 1860 census just a few houses from his parents.

Lewis and Margaret were still in Hookerton for the 1880 census, but they were listed in separate households, but side by side. ** I don't have this entry typed up yet.
Thomas Grant was born ca 1829/30 (per 1850 census) in Greene County, North Carolina. He was apparently not home with his parents in 1830, so probably not born until after the census taker visited. He did seem to be home in 1840 (age 5-9, born ca 1830/35). He was home with his parents in 1850 ("Thomas" age 20, born NC).
Thomas Grant married Amanda --- sometime between 1850 and ca 1860, presumably in Greene County. Amanda was born ca 1839/40. I don't know her maiden name.
They were listed on the 1860 census in Hookerton, with his parents living with them.
