Revision History:
  • 28 Feb 2009 New page by Marty Grant, relationship unknown.
Peter Grant was born ca 1827/28 per his age on the 1850 census (22). The 1850 census listed his birth place as South Carolina. I would guess he was born in Marlboro District or nearby.

I don't know who his parents were. There were a couple of Grants in the area who qualify. Census analysis helps narrow it down a bit, but doesn't really prove who his parents are.

By the 1830 census Peter would have been about two years old. There were two Grant households in Marlboro with sons under age 5 (born ca 1825/30): Malachi Grant (c1790) and William Grant (c1775).

By 1840 Peter would have been about 12 years old. In Marlboro only William Grant (c1775) had a child that age with him, an apparent son aged 10-14 (c1825/30). In neighboring Richmond Co., NC Malachi Grant (c1790) had two boys who could fit, aged 10-23 (c1816/30), and John Grant Sr (c1780). had one boy that age but he is already positively identified as someone else.

Peter Grant married Ann E. (---) sometime before ca 1847, presumably in Marlboro Dist., SC. Ann was born ca 1828/29 in SC. I don't know her maiden name.

They are on the 1850 census in Marlboro Dist., SC. John Grant (c1829) is next door, relationship unknown.

The second entry is just three houses from William Grant (c1833) son of William Grant (c1775). Ann, widow of the older William is 10 houses away.
