I (Marty Grant) am not related to the William Grant family as far as I know. I am very interested in him though.
William Grant was listed with the James Rose family in 1850. They were eleven houses from Richard Grant, but it doesn't seem like William was a son of Richard, though his age was right for that. I don't know who William's parents might have been. There are several possibilities.

William married Susan --- ca 1850/54 in Northampton Co, NC. They were listed on the 1860 census in Northampton Co, NC. However, I'm not sure this is the same William, but I don't know who else it could be. They had a 13 year old daughter "Laura Grant" in 1860, which would put their marriage ca 1847 or before. Note that in 1850, there is a 4 year old "Laura C. Rose" in this household. Could that be his daughter?

Coincedentally (or not), in 1860 William Grant was listed just two houses from Rev. William Grant formerly of Perquimans Co, NC. I don't know how (or if) they are related.
