I (Marty Grant) don't know how or if I'm related to Richard Grant.
Richard Grant was born ca 1814/15 (per 1850 census), in North Carolina, presumably Greene County.
I have no direct evidence, but it seems likely that Richard 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 Lewis did have an apparent son Richard's age with him in the early census records.
Richard would have been about 5 years old for the 1820 census. His apparent father Lewis had two sons "under 10", or born ca 1810/20, one of which was probably Richard.
Richard would have been about 15 years old for the 1830 census. His presumed father Lewis Grant had two apparent sons age 15-19 (born ca 1810/15) and one age 10-14 (born ca 1815/20), any of these three could be Richard.
Richard married someone before ca 1838, presumably in Greene County. I've found no record of his wife's name. According to her age on the 1840 census, she was born ca 1810/20.
Richard was listed in Greene County for the 1840 census. He was next door to probable brother Hiram Grant (c1803), and Nancy Grant (1790/1800), a probable Aunt was just a few houses away.
