John Patton Grant was born 21 Dec 1845 (per tombstone) in Macon
Co, NC, somewhere near the Cowee community. He was probably named for
Colonel John Patton of Buncombe Co, NC who was well known and popular in
Western NC. Although I'm related to John Patton via another branch of my
family, John Patton Grant was not related to him as far as I know.
John Patton Grant was a son of Thomas B. Grant and Mary Miller. This is proven by the 1850 and 1860 census and other records. John P. Grant had a first cousin, once removed, of the same name. This other John Patton Grant was about 4 years younger, and although they lived very near each other, they did not attempt to distinguish themselves by any means for the public records. Both are found listed as "John Grant" or "John P. Grant" in the various records. The only way I've found to distinguish them is by the context of the documents I found them on. I may have confused their records in some cases, but for the most part I think I have them sorted out correctly. The other John lived on and near Wesser Creek and Silver Mine Creek, so that is the opposite shore of the Nantahala River from where this John Patton Grant lived. John's father Thomas died the same year John was born (1845), so he was raised without a father. He was 14 years old when his mother remarried in 1861. John was home with his widowed mother for the 1850 census in Macon Co, NC ("John" age 5, born Macon). John was home with his widowed mother for the 1860 census in Macon Co, NC ("John P., age 14, born Macon). There is a land grant for a John Grant dated 1860. Although he was only 15 at the time, John Grant received a land grant on 29 Dec 1860. The land was entered on 15 Aug 1853 (when he was only 8 years old!). I believe this was legal due to him being an orphan, and the land was probably entered by his mother but in his name. The land was 100 acres on the East Side of the Nantahala River on Silver Creek (present Swain Co, NC). It is entirely possible that this land grant was not for this same John Grant. The other John Patton Grant lived in that area later on, but I don't know how he could have qualified for a land grant at that age. It is possible that some other John Grant passed through the area. This grant was recorded again in Swain County on 30 Dec 1881. (Macon Co, NC Land Grants # 2445, Entry # 7471, Book 164 page 264 and Swain Co, NC Deed Book 3 page 92). The family moved to the area near Birdtown (present Swain County) in the 1860's, which was then part of Jackson County. John P. Grant married Darthula Jane Evans on 5 Nov 1868 in Jackson Co, NC. The marriage record lists him as "John Grant" and her as "N. C. Ivens". I'm not sure why her initials were given this way, for every other record shows her as "Darthula J." or "Darthula Jane". The marriage register is all that is left, and the actual marriage record may have given her name differently. Darthula Jane Evans (called "Dorthy" on some records) was born 11 Sep 1843 (per tombstone) in Buncombe Co, NC on Avery Creek (south west of Asheville), daughter of William Evans and Phebe Graham. Darthula was home with her parents for the 1850 census in Buncombe Co, NC, and home with them for the 1860 census in Jackson Co, NC. John and Darthula and family were listed on the 1870 census in Jackson Co, NC in Deep Creek Township. They were just a few houses from his mother and step-father. They apparently were all in the area near Birdtown. 1870 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1870 JACKSON CO, NC Page 250 House/Family # 44/ 45--DEEP CREEK Twp GRANT JOHN P 24 M W FARMER NC 1845/1846 GRANT DARTHULA J 26 F M KEEPING HOUSE NC 1843/1844 GRANT SHUTHULA G 0 F W 8/12 Sep 1869 NC 1869/1870 In 1871, Swain County was created from the section of Jackson County where they were living. On 10 Feb 1874 John P. Grant witnessed the Marriage of Merrit M. Graham (Darthula's first cousin) and Martha Jenkins in Swain Co, NC. On 9 Feb 1875 John P. Grant witnessed the marriage of William W. Evans (Darthula's brother) and Martha Fuller in Swain Co, NC. On 29 Jan 1876 John Grant purchased 50 acres from Eli and Nancy M. Collins on the Tennessee River, for $100. Witnesses were J. J. Constant, and A. G. Mashburn. (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 1 page 383). On 9 Sep 1879, John P. Grant witnessed an affidavit filed by his aunt Mary Morris Grant, widow of Charles Grant for a Widows Pension Application. He signed as "J. P. Grant" age 34 (which puts his birth at ca 1844/45, so we know it his him and not his cousin John P. Grant (1848). John and Darthula and family were listed on the 1880 census in Swain Co, NC in Nantahala Township. Darthula's sister Fannie Evans Lequire was just a few households away. 1880 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1880 SWAIN CO, NC Page 186 House/Family # 109/ 109 -- NANTAHALA Twp GRANT JOHN P W M 34 HD M CUTTING WHEAT NC NC NC 1845/1846 GRANT DARTHULA J W F 36 WF M BINDING WHEAT NC SC NC 1843/1844 GRANT SHUTHULA G W F 10 D S KEEPING HOUSE NC NC NC 1869/1870 GRANT MARY C W F 8 D S NC NC NC 1871/1872 GRANT IBBY E W F 6 D S NC NC NC 1873/1874 GRANT ALVA L W F 4 D S NC NC NC 1875/1876 GRANT HARKLESS L W M 3 S S NC NC NC 1876/1877 GRANT HATTIE T W F 0 D S 7/12 OCT 1879 NC NC NC 1879/1880 On 16 Aug 1883, John and Darthula sold land on the Nantahala River in Swain County to E. Everett of Swain, James L. Robinson of Macon Co, NC, Theo Poole of Martin Co, NC, and Robert Furman of Buncombe Co, NC for $200. The land was described as adjoining Sutherland and others. I didn't see the acreage listed, I think this is the same 100 acres granted in 1860. The deed was signed by "John Grant" and "D. J. Grant" (who made her mark). The deed was witnessed by only one person: "S. J. Grant". I'm not sure who this was. This could be their oldest daughter Shuthelia G. Grant, though I'm not sure if it is or not. (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 6 page 311). On 11 Mar 1885 John P. Grant and D. J. Grant sold 50 acres on Mills Creek to Joseph Ammons. It was described as Tract # 2040. This is the same land that was granted to John's mother Mary in 1856. I found no record of her transferring it to John though, and she was still alive in 1885. (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 8 page 80). On 4 Oct 1887 John P. Grant and wife D. J. Grant gave the Cumberland Valley and Unaka Railroad a 100 foot right of way through their 50 acre home tract on the Tennessee River. (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 10 page 29). On 19 Nov 1888, John P. Grant purchased 68 acres from N. B. Thompson, agent for J. A. Thompson, on Alarka Creek and Hickory Nut Gap, bordering Evans, Dehart, Cathey and Welch. (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 10 page 327). On 19 Nov 1888, John P. Grant and wife D. J. Grant sold 50 acres to John Jenkins, being on the Tennessee River bordering Cunningham and Hitchcock, being part of Tract # 1325. This may be the same land purchased 29 Jan 1876 from Eli Collins. (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 13 page 53). John and Darthula and family were listed on the 1900 census in Swain Co, NC in Nantahala Township. They were next door to daughter Mary Grant Graham and her family. Darthula's brother William Evans was just a few houses away. 1900 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The birth dates given in 1900 were part of the original census record) 1900 SWAIN CO, NC Page House/Family # 112/ 113--NANTAHALA Twp GRANT JOHN P HD W M DEC 1844 55 M 30 NC NC NC FARMER GRANT DARTHULA J WF W F SEP 1843 56 M 30 9 9 NC NC NC GRANT ALVA L D W F AUG 1874 25 S NC NC NC GRANT ARKLESS L S W M MAY 1878 22 S NC NC NC FARM LABOR GRANT HATTIE T D W F OCT 1879 20 S NC NC NC GRANT CARSON L S W M JUN 1881 18 S NC NC NC FARM LABOR GRANT GERTIE I D W F SEP 1883 16 S NC NC NC GRANT JOHN P S W M OCT 1886 13 S NC NC NC FARM LABOR HUTCHENS MATTIE V GD W F JUL 1885 14 S NC NC NC In 1907, Albert Graham of Buncombe Co, NC died. His estate division was huge for some reason, and the papers in his Estate file named every known heir of Jeffrey Graham (Darthula Evans Grant's grandfather). Among the many heirs named were "Dorthula Grant and husband John Grant". (Buncombe Co, NC Loose Estates, Albert Graham-1907, NC Archives). Sometime around this time (ca 1907-1909), John and Darthula and family moved to the Gum Log area of Union Co, GA, taking about half of their children with them, others remaining in Swain County, NC. I don't know why they moved to Union Co, GA, as they had no relatives there as far as I know. One reason might have been the fact that in 1901 through 1903, three of their daughters had children born out of wedlock, and perhaps they decided getting out of the area would help them avoid repeats of the situation. That is just a theory though, I really have no idea why they moved. On 31 Dec 1909, J. P. Grant and wife Darthula Grant of Union Co, GA, sold 68 acres in Swain Co, NC to J. R. Carson. The land was described as being in Nantahala Township on Alarka Creek and Hickory Nut Gap, joining W. P. Roberts, J. D. Patterson, and on the lines of Cathey and Evans. Witness was D. F. Graham (John and Darthula's son-in-law). (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 36 page 165). John and Darthula and family were listed on the 1910 census in Union Co, GA in Gum Log Township. They were next door to the Noah W. Gilbert family. 1910 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1910 UNION CO, GA House/Family # 51/ 51 -- GUM LOG Twp GRANT JOHN P HD M W 65 M 42 NC NC US 1844/1845 GRANT DARTHULA WF F W 66 M 42 9 8 NC SC NC 1843/1844 GRANT ALVIE D F W 26 S NC NC NC 1883/1884 GRANT HATTIE D F W 24 S NC NC NC 1885/1886 GRANT MAJOR S M W 16 S NC NC NC 1893/1894 GRANT ESSIE GD F W 9 S NC NC NC 1900/1901 GRANT MARVIN GS M W 8 S NC NC NC 1901/1902 GRANT INKABO GD F W 8 S NC NC NC 1901/1902 Darthula Jane Evans Graham died in Union Co, GA on 17 Jun 1917, age 73.

Children of John Patton Grant and Darthula
Jane Evans. John and Darthula raised nine children, and several
grandchildren also. Their children are all proven by the 1870 through
1910 census records, and other sources, and most were remembered by my
Grandfather
Garland S. Grant, who knew several of them personally. 1. Shuthelia Guscilla Grant (1869) |

Shuthelia Guscilla
Grant was born September 1869 (per 1870 census) or February 1860
(per 1900 census). The 1900 census record is way out of line with her
other records. She was born in Jackson (now Swain) Co, NC. I have no clue as to the origin of her unusual name. I've never seen these names anywhere else. She was called "Thelia" apparently. Thelia was home with her parents for the 1870 census ("Shuthula G." age 8 months, born Sept), and home in 1880 ("Shuthula G." age 10). She married Thomas Washington Hutchens on 3 Sep 1885 in Swain Co, NC. Their marriage record gave them as "Thomas Hutchens" age 24, of Swain, and "Theely Grant" age 15 of Swain. They were married at J. P. Grant's home (her father). Thomas Washington Hutchens was born 27 Apr 1860 (per tombstone) in NC, but I don't know what county. I have not found him on the 1860 or 1870 or 1880 census records yet, he was not in the Swain County area then. I don't know who his parents were. Tom and Thelia were listed on the 1900 census in Swain Co, NC in Forney Creek Township. Both Tom and Thelia's ages were wrong by 10 years (too old), and so I consider this entire record to be suspect, and was probably reported by someone else, other than them. Perhaps a neighbor gave the data to the census taker, or one of the children who didn't know everyone's correct age and birth dates. 1900 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The birth dates given in 1900 were part of the original census record) 1900 SWAIN CO, NC Page House/Family # 222/ 225--FORNEY'S CREEK Twp HUTCHENS TOM HD W M JAN 1850 50 M 20 NC NC NC FARM LABOR HUTCHENS PHEBA WF W F FEB 1860 40 M 20 9 9 NC NC NC HUTCHENS MATIE D W F MAR 1882 18 S NC NC NC HUTCHENS JANE D W F MAY 1884 16 S NC NC NC HUTCHENS MARY D W F JUN 1887 13 S NC NC NC HUTCHENS BOB S W M OCT 1888 11 S NC NC NC FARM LABOR HUTCHENS TEX D W F FEB 1891 9 S NC NC NC HUTCHENS EVA D W F MAR 1892 8 S NC NC NC HUTCHENS JOHN S W M APR 1893 7 S NC NC NC HUTCHENS ALICE D W F JAN 1894 6 S NC NC NC HUTCHENS HENRY S W M JAN 1899 1 S NC NC NC On 1 Mar 1904, Tom Hutchens (listed as "T.

Tom and Thelia and family were listed on the 1910 census in Swain Co, NC in Forney Creek Township. This record seems way more accurate than the 1900 census. 1910 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1910 SWAIN CO, NC Page House/Family # 131/ 131--FORNEY'S CREEK Twp HUTCHENS THOMAS W HD M W 50 M 1 26 NC NC NC FARMER 1859/1860 HUTCHENS CELIA G WF F W 41 M 1 26 13 12 NC NC NC 1868/1869 HUTCHENS JANE E D F W 23 S NC NC NC 1886/1887 HUTCHENS ROBERT LEE S M W 20 S NC NC NC 1889/1890 HUTCHENS TEXANNA B D F W 17 S NC NC NC 1892/1893 HUTCHENS IBBIA C D F W 16 S NC NC NC 1893/1894 HUTCHENS JOHN P S M W 14 S NC NC NC 1895/1896 HUTCHENS ALSIE M D F W 12 S NC NC NC 1897/1898 HUTCHENS THOMAS C S M W 10 S NC NC NC 1899/1900 HUTCHENS HULDAH M D F W 8 S NC NC NC 1901/1902 HUTCHENS ARTIE L D F W 5 S NC NC NC 1904/1905 HUTCHENS HARKLESS J S M W 1 S NC NC NC 1908/1909 HUTCHENS HENRY P GS M W 3 S NC NC NC 1906/1907 Thomas Washington Hutchens died on 4 Dec 1911 in Swain Co, NC.

Mary Caroline Grant was born August 1871 (per
1900 census) in Swain Co, NC. She was possibly named in part for her
grandmother Mary Miller Grant, and possibly for her aunt Mary Evans
also. I believe that she was known as "Callie" to family members though
usually listed as "Mary" or "Mary C." on most records. Callie was home with her parents for the 1880 census ("Mary C." age 8) in Swain Co, NC. On 4 Jun 1891, Callie Grant witnessed the marriage of her sister Isabell to L. C. Duvall in Swain Co, NC. On 11 Mar 1897, Callie Grant married her cousin Daniel Francis Graham in Swain Co, NC. Their marriage record gave a great deal of information. He was listed as "Daniel Francis Graham", age 24, of Swain Co, NC, son of "James & Laura M. Pinner", father living, mother dead, of Buncombe Co, NC. Callie was listed as "Mary Caroline Grant" age 25, of Swain, daughter of "John A. and Darthula Grant", both living, of Swain Co, NC. Married by C. C. Bryson, JP at C. C. Bryson's house in Nantahala Township. Witnesses were Z. V. Welch, A. C. Byars, and M. T. Brendle. Daniel Francis Graham was born 13 Apr 1872 (per tombstone) in Buncombe Co, NC in the Avery Creek area. He was a son of James R. Graham and Laura Ann Pinner (who were not married). He was born out of wedlock, and he was raised by James R. Graham, but it isn't clear if James was actually his father or not, but it seems likely that he was the father. Daniel and wife Callie were 1st cousins 1 time removed to one another. Daniel's grandfather was Jeffrey Graham, who was Callie's Great Grandfather. Daniel and Callie were listed on the 1900 census in Swain Co, NC next door to her parents in Nantahala Township. 1900 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The birth dates given in 1900 were part of the original census record) 1900 SWAIN CO, NC Page House/Family # 111/ 112--NANTAHALA Twp GRAHAM DANIEL F HD W M APR 1872 28 M 3 NC NC NC FARMER GRAHAM MARY C WF W F AUG 1871 28 M 3 2 1 NC NC NC GRAHAM HOLLIS D D W F DEC 1897 2 S NC NC NC On 12 sep 1900, N. T. Sawyer sold D. F. Graham, 5 acres in Swain County. (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 28 page 168). In the Loose Estate records of Albert Graham who died in 1907 in Buncombe Co, NC, Daniel and Callie are both named as heirs to his estate. The records are extensive and name many of the heirs of Jeffrey Graham. In one paper they are named as "Daniel Graham and wife Callie Graham". In another paper, Daniel and his brother Charles Graham are both named as heirs of James Graham, and as such are entitled to 1/7 of 1/2 portion of the estate. (Buncombe Co, NC Loose Estates, Albert Graham-1907, NC Archives). The above estate was divided so many ways that it was sold, and the money distributed to the heirs, so no land was actually transferred to them. On 31 Dec 1909 D. F. Graham witnessed a deed between J. P. and Darthula Grant to J. R. Carson. (Swain Co, NC Deed Book 36 page 165). Daniel and Callie were listed on the 1910 census in Swain Co, NC in Nantahala Township. They were next door to Callie's uncle Jefferson Samuel Evans. 1910 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1910 SWAIN CO, NC Page House/Family # 63/ 63--NANTAHALA Twp GRAHAM DANIEL F HD M W 38 M 1 13 NC NC NC FARMER 1871/1872 GRAHAM MARY C WF F W 38 M 1 13 10 6 NC NC NC 1871/1872 GRAHAM ADAM L S M W 8 S NC NC NC 1901/1902 GRAHAM EVE F D F W 7 S NC NC NC 1902/1903 GRAHAM PERMER F S M W 5 S NC NC NC 1904/1905 GRAHAM CHARLES G S M W 2 S NC NC NC 1907/1908 GRAHAM BULAH A S M W 1 S NC NC NC 1908/1909 GRAHAM JAMES H S M W 0 S NC NC NC 0/12 1909/1910 On 28 Nov 1910, "D.

Daniel and Callie were listed on the 1920 census in Swain Co, NC in Charleston Township. This seems to show that they moved from the Grassy Branch area (which was in Nantahala Township). 1920 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1920 SWAIN CO, NC House/Family # 364/ 365 -- CHARLESTON Twp GRAHAM DAN F HD O M M W 48 M NC NC NC FARMER 1871/1872 GRAHAM MARY C WF F W 41 M NC NC NC 1878/1879 GRAHAM ADAM S M W 17 S NC NC NC LUMBER STACKER 1902/1903 GRAHAM EVE D F W 16 S NC NC NC 1903/1904 GRAHAM PARMER S M W 14 S NC NC NC FARM LABOR 1905/1906 GRAHAM GALDIN S M W 13 S NC NC NC FARM LABOR 1906/1907 GRAHAM BULAH S M W 11 S NC NC NC FARM LABOR 1908/1909 GRAHAM HENDERSON S M W 8 S NC NC NC 1911/1912 Daniel Francis Graham died on 17 Jul 1926 (per tombstone) in Swain Co, NC.

The TVA (Tennessee Valley Authority) Cemetery removal records say that his grave was moved to the Lauada Cemetery, however, it was apparently moved to the Guge Cemetery in Graham Co, NC instead, as that is where it is found. I don't know when Mary Caroline Grant Graham died, nor where she is buried. Daniel and Callie had at least 10 children, all are deceased now. I spoke by phone to one of their sons, Charles Golden "Goldie" Graham (1907-1994), and my dad knew several of Goldie's children when they all lived near each other in Arden, NC growing up. |

Isabell Emma Grant was
born 1 Aug 1873 (per tombstone) in Swain Co, NC. She seems to have been
named for, in part, her aunt Isabell Levina Grant Sherrill. I'm not sure
if "Emma" is her full middle name, or if that is short for "Emaline". If
so, she was probably also named in part for her aunt Emaline Evans. She was home with her parents for the 1880 census in Swain Co, NC ("Ibby E." age 6). She married Louis Calvin Duvall on 4 Jun 1891 in Swain Co, NC. Their marriage record gave him as: "L. C. Duvall", age 17, son of "W. W. and Elizabeth Duvall", and her as "I. E. Grant", age 17, daughter of "J. P and Dorthy Grant". They were married by L. L. Thompson. Witnesses were W. L. Thompson, George Grant (cousin) and Callie Grant (sister Mary Caroline Grant). Louis Duvall was born 4 Oct 1873 (per tombstone) in Swain Co, NC. He was a son of William W. Duvall and Elizabeth L. Thomason. His name was also spelled "Lewis" on some records. Louis and Emma were listed on the 1900 census in Swain Co, NC in Nantahala Township. 1900 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The birth dates given in 1900 were part of the original census record) 1900 SWAIN CO, NC Page House/Family # 135/ 136--NANTAHALA Twp DUVALL LOUIS C HD W M OCT 1872 27 M 10 NC NC NC FARMER DUVALL EMMER WF W F AUG 1872 27 M 10 5 5 NC NC NC DUVALL DAVID S W M OCT 1891 8 S NC NC NC DUVALL FLORENCE D W F MAR 1894 6 S NC NC NC DUVALL FLORA M D W F FEB 1896 4 S NC NC NC DUVALL ADDIE M D W F DEC 1897 2 S NC NC NC DUVALL MARTHA J D W F OCT 1899 0 S NC NC NC 7/12 Isabell Emma Grant Duvall died on 29 Jan 1908 in Swain Co, NC.

Alva L. Grant was born 25
Sep 1875 (per tombstone) in Swain Co, NC. I don't know who she might
have been named for, nor what her middle initial of "L" was for. Alva was home with her parents for the 1880 census in Swain Co, NC ("Alva L." age 4), and with them in 1900 ("Alva L." age 25, born Aug 1874), and still with them in 1910 in Union Co, GA ("Alvie" age 26). Around the year 1900, Alva had a relationship with someone (no idea who) that produced a child born out of wedlock: Essie Grant, born ca 1900/01 in Swain Co, NC. I assume that someone in the family might know who Essie's father was, but none of the relatives I've spoken to know. Alva went to Union Co, GA with her parents, and was with them for the 1910 census there. I don't know exactly when, but sometime between 1910 and 1920, Alva married Gordon J. Long in Union Co, GA. Gordon J. Long was born 26 Jul 1888 in Union Co, GA, a son of John W. Long and Georgia Ann Owenby. I don't know if Gordon and Alva had any children together or not. Gordon and Alva were listed on the 1920 census in Union Co, GA next door to his parents in Gum Log Township. Daughter Essie Grant was not with them, so she must have been married by then, or just living elsewhere. 1920 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1920 UNION CO, GA Page 241B House/Family # 72/ 72--GUM LOG Twp LONG GORDON HD R M W 31 M GA NC GA 1888/1889 LONG ALVA WF F W 41 M NC GA NC 1878/1879 Alva L.

I believe this is the same Ora Dockery who was daughter of Levi and Liza Dockery. Gordon J. Long died in Union Co, GA on 2 Oct 1973. He is buried at the Long Cemetery. Ora Dockery Long died 5 Mar 1982. She is buried at the Long Cemetery also. |

Harkless L. Grant
was born 6 May 1877 (per tombstone) in Swain Co, NC. His name is
unusual, and I have no clue as to its origin. I don't know what his
middle initial of "L" stood for either. He was called "Hark" by family
and friends. Hark was home with his parents for the 1880 census ("Harkless L." age 3) in Swain Co, NC, and still home in 1900 ("Arkless L." age 22, born May 1878). When his parents moved to Union Co, GA in the 1900-1910 timeframe, Hark went with them. Hark married Myrtle Long in Union Co, GA ca 1905/06. Myrtle was born 20 Apr 1886 (per tombstone) in Union Co, GA, daughter of John W. Long and Georgia Ann Owenby. Myrtle was a sister to Gordon Long who married Alva Grant, sister of Harkless. Harkless and Myrtle moved back to Swain County briefly, and were there for the 1910 census in Nantahala Township. He was next door to brother Carson Grant. 1910 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1910 SWAIN CO, NC Page House/Family # 37/ 37--NANTAHALA Twp GRANT HARKLESS HD M W 32 M 1 4 NC NC NC LABORER 1877/1878 GRANT MYRTLE WF F W 24 M 1 4 GA GA GA 1885/1886 They moved back to Union Co, GA after this.

Hattie Thermudas Grant was born 18 Oct 1879 in Swain
Co, NC. I don't know who Hattie was named for, if anyone, nor what her
middle name might mean. Hattie was home with her parents for the 1880, 1900 and 1910 census. She had a child out of wedlock in 1902. She married Thomas Joshua Gilbert around 1914 in Union Co, GA. See her own page for additional information. |

Carson Luther Grant was born 15 Jun 1881
(don't know source for this date, 1900 census confirms June 1881) in

Lequire on 1 Apr 1906 in Swain Co, NC. Susie was born 13 Jul 1879 in Swain Co, NC, daughter of James Merritt Lequire and Fannie Lou Ellender Evans (sister to Darthula Evans Grant).

Gertrude I. Grant was born September 1883
(per 1900 census) in Swain Co, NC. I don't know what her middle initial
of "I" might stand for. She did name a daughter "Inkabo", so perhaps
that is her middle name as well. Gertrude was home with her parents for the 1900 ("Gertie I." age 16, born Sep 1883) census in Swain Co, NC. Gertrude Grant had a child out of wedlock (Inkabo Louella Grant) born in August 1901. I don't know who the child's father was. She married Joseph Noah Ledbetter in Swain Co, NC ca 1907/08 (no marriage record found). Noah Ledbetter was born ca 1884/85 in NC, perhaps Swain County, but I have not found him in the 1900 census, so I don't know who his parents were. Noah and Gertrude were listed on the 1910 census in Swain Co, NC in Nantahala Township. They were listed as borders in someone else's household. 1910 census abstract: (Explanation of this census) (Note: The dates at the end of each line are not part of the original census, but are approximate birth years based on age) 1910 SWAIN CO, NC Page House/Family # 192/ 192--NANTAHALA (2) Twp LEDBETTER NOAH SE M W 25 M 1 2 NC NC NC FARM LABOR 1884/1885 LEDBETTER GERTRUDE BO F W 27 M 1 2 3 2 NC NC NC 1882/1883 LEDBETTER BONNIE BO F W 0 S NC NC NC 11/12 1909/1910 They were still in Swain County for the 1920 census, next door to brother John P.

John Patton Grant Jr "Major" was born 25 Sep
1887 (per tombstone) or October 1886 (per 1900 census). On the 1900
census, he was listed as "John P. Grant", but on most other records he
was listed as "Major Grant". I'm assuming that "Major" was a nickname,
but it could be part of his name. Major Grant was home with his parents for the 1900 ("John P." age 13, born Oct 1886) census in Swain County. He moved with them to Union Co, GA ca 1909. Major was home with his parents for the 1910 census in Union Co, GA ("Major" age 16). Major married Maude Henson in Union Co, GA before 1917. I have no data on Maude's birth or who her parents were. Maude Henson Grant apparently died as a result of childbirth. She and Major had an infant child who was born and died on 3 Jun 1917, and Maude died two days later on 5 Jun 1917. She and the infant are buried side by side at the Ebenezer Baptist Church Cemetery in Union Co, GA. I have not been able to find John P. Grant on the 1920 census. I once found what I thought was John Grant on the 1920 census in Swain County. His wife was named Callie and he had children Rosie, Wade and Jesse. He is next door to the Noah and Gertrude Ledbetter (John's sister), and his age is right, but upon closer study it turns out this was not a Grant at all, but another family. I still don't know where John P. Grant was in 1920. Sometime after 1917, Major Grant married Dora Schular in Union Co, GA. Major Grant died on 11 Jun 1951 in Union Co, GA. He is buried at Ebenezer Cemetery in Union Co, GA. Dora Schular Grant died in 1996 in Union Co, GA. She is buried at Ebenezer also. |
