Grant, Clementine Clemy Clementine Grant Born: 1755/1760 in VA Died: before JUL 1825 in Rutherford Co, NC Spouses: >>>; William Musick 05 (M): Andrew Grant Born: 1755/1765 in VA Died: 1825/1830 in Rutherford Co, NC Spouses: Martha Mackey 370. William MUSICK (15) was born about 1760 in Spottsylvania County, VA. He died about 1804 in St. Louis, Missouri. William Musick fought "bravely" in his Uncle's Company (Joel Lewis) at the Battle of Kings Mountain, Tennessee. In 1793, he was arrested for robbing a peddler in Burke County NC. On the night of 1 Aug 1793, members of the Musick family and Allen Twitty went to Morgantown and broke William out of jail. A year later, they were all arrested, tried and convicted.

He was married to Winifred HANNON.

Clementine "Clemmy" GRANT (15) was born between 1755 and 1765. She died between 1818 and 1825 in Rutherford County, NC. Clementine Grant had several children, appantently without benefit of marriage. There are several court cases in Rutherford County, North Carolina, refering to her "bastard children." Through those court records and the estate record of her son, James, we are able to list James Grant, Thomas Grant, Susan Grant, Mirey Head, Polly Dalton and Franky Pearson. Polly Grant Dalton is mentioned in court records of Rutherford County as the daughter of Clementine Grant and William Musick (Court Order Oct 1791). Less official is the observation that a second child Myra Grant Head "was associated with" William Musick all her life. It cannot be proved, but it appears she is a second child of this union. William MUSICK and Clementine "Clemmy" GRANT had the following children:

Her name appeared in the Rutherford Co, NC Court minutes several times on charges of bastardy.or agnes Gilfellin? I (Marty Grant) am a 5th Great Grandnephew of Clementine Grant.

Clementine Grant was born ca 1755/60 in VA, perhaps Louisa County. She is a proven child of William Grant and Mary of Rutherford Co, NC. Her estimated birth years could easily be off, so don't rely on it.

Clementine's father William Grant moved to what is now Rutherford Co, NC around 1771. It seems that the rest of the family joined them a year or two later, since William's younger son Thomas was born in VA ca 1773 (per the 1850 and 1860 census).

Clementine Grant never married, but had at least six children born out of wedlock. Her name appeared in the Rutherford Co, NC Court minutes several times on charges of bastardy. Her oldest known child was Francis "Franky" Pearson. Franky was born ca 1776/77 in NC (per the 1850 census) or VA (per the 1860 census). I think NC is the more likely birth place for her.

Clementine was probably at home with her father William Grant for the 1790 census. He had four females listed with him, one of which was probably his wife Mary, one of the others was surely Clementine, and the other two were probably Franky and Susan, Clementine's two oldest daughters (both born before 1790).

Frank Block found many of the early Court records for Clementine. There may be others that he and I both missed. In October 1791 term of Rutherford Co, NC:

"the court allowed Clemy GRANT, 14.0.0 for the Maintenance of a base born child that William MUSICK is supposed to be the reputed father by the name of Mary and that Notice issue for him to appear at next & shew cause if any he has why execution should not issue against him for the same"

This record shows that Clementine had a child named Mary born ca October 1791 or before. William Musick, the reputed father, was associated with Charles Grant and was in trouble with him in the Morgan District court records. William Musick married Winifred Hannon just after this.

Clementine was named in her father William Grant's will (1794) and this is what was said:

... Item It is my desire that the land whereon I now live after my wife's death be the property of my son Thomas Grant and his heirs forever and my desire is that my daughter Clemy Grant should have a right to live on the said land with my wife and son if they can't agree to build her a house for herself. ...

I don't know if Clementine got her own house or else lived with relatives, but she was never listed as a head of household on any census, so it is likely she lived with family members.

Clementine was probably with her mother Mary in the 1800 census as Mary had a full household. Mary had one female age 45+ (born before 1755) which was Mary herself, one female age 26-44 (born 1755/1774) which must be Clementine, one female age 16-25 (1774/84) which must be Franky Pearson (1777), one female 10-15 (1784/90) which is probably Susan Grant (who's birth is either 1780 or 1790 or in between), and two females under 10 (1790/1800) one of which was Mary Grant (1790) and the other is unknown.

James Love made his Will on 19 Sep 1802 in Rutherford Co, NC and made this bequeath:

... I give unto James the son of Clementina Grant the sum of $50 ...

It isn't known why James Love left James Grant anything, but it can easily be inferred that James Love was the father of James Grant, or perhaps the grandfather.

Mary was back in Court in April 1805 when her brother Alexander Grant and James Boyle made a bond of 75 pounds each assuring the county:

"... that the following children of Clemmy Grant, Viz, Mary and James Washington shall not become chargeable to the County ..."

We know that Mary Grant was born before October 1791 per an earlier court record, and that James Washington Grant (now he has a middle name) was born before September 1802 per James Love's Will.

Clementine Grant was not listed on the 1810 census, but I think she may be residing with Elijah Dalton who married her daughter Mary Grant in 1809. Elijah's household data isn't consistent with what we know, but there do seem to be some errors with it, so I don't know if we can rely on it. The most interesting thing is that he had 4 females aged 45 and up (born before 1765) but no one his own wife's age. The 4 females were probably lumped into one group by mistake. They could be: Clementine (1755/60), Susan (c1780), Mary (1790) and possibly even Mary (c1735), widow of William Grant Sr. There is no way to be sure of any of that though.

On 6 Jul 1818 Clementine was again mentioned in Court for a bastard child. Robert H. Taylor returned the bond. I don't know which child this is in reference to, but I'd bet it was for Mira Grant born ca 1810. (Rutherford Co, NC Court Minutes 1818-1819 pg 154)

I didn't find any record of Clementine in the 1820 census, nor find a likely place for her in any other households. She was dead by July 1825 per the following court record:

The grand jury presented the following children as fit objects of the care of the court and recommend they be brought into court and bound out: ... Three children of Clemmy Grant, deceased at Andrew Grant's, ... two girl children of Susanna Grant .... (Rutherford Co, NC Court Minutes 1825-1830 pg 15)

These three children of Clemy and two of Susan would have been under 21, so born between ca 1804 and 1825. One of Clementine's surely is Mira Grant born ca 1810. I don't know who the other two were.

So the records above clearly prove that Clementine had several children, but only Mary and James Washington Grant are proven by name. However, James W. Grant died intestate and with no heirs (he may have married, but he apparently had no children. His estate records (1841) show his siblings as his heirs. Here are the informative parts of his Estate file:

The first record of his estate was dated September 1840. The record quoted above clearly shows the family of Clementine Grant. There might have been other siblings, but they either were dead by 1840, or no longer living in Rutherford County and were left out (as often happens with estates). I don't yet know who the Malinda Grant was who was paid $ 10.00. She might be the same Malinda who married James Grant (son of Thomas Sr) in 1844.

These three children of Clemy and two of Susan would have been under 21, so born between ca 1804 and 1825. One of Clementine's surely is Mira Grant born ca 1810. I don't know who the other two were.

The first record of his estate was dated September 1840. The record quoted above clearly shows the family of Clementine Grant. There might have been other siblings, but they either were dead by 1840, or no longer living in Rutherford County and were left out (as often happens with estates). I don't yet know who the Malinda Grant was who was paid $ 10.00. She might be the same Malinda who married James Grant (son of Thomas Sr) in 1844.

Children

The six children of Clementine Grant are proven by Court records and the Estate file of James Grant. If there were any additional children, they have not yet been identified.

Francis "Franky" Pearson (c1777-1861)

Susan Grant (c1780-after 1860)

Mary "Polly" Grant (c1790-1880/1900)

James Washington Grant (c1790/1800-1840)

Thomas Grant (c1801-after 1870)

Elmira "Mira" Grant (c1810-1870/80)

Frances "Franky" Grant Pearson was born ca 1776/77 in North Carolina (per the 1850 census) or in Virginia (per the 1860 census). If she were born in North Carolina, then she was likely born in the Mountain Creek vicinity of Tryon County (now Rutherford County). If born in Virginia, then perhaps in Louisa County. The Virginia birth seems more likely, as both of her surviving children list her birth place as "Virginia" on their 1880 census entries.

Frances (like all of her siblings) was born out of wedlock, and her father is unknown. However, since she used the surname "Pearson" that may mean that her father was a Pearson, or else that she married a Mr. Pearson early on, who died, or left, and she continued having children out of wedlock, giving them his surname. I can't say which scenario is more likely. Legally, a child born out of wedlock is to have the mother's maiden name, (if the mother is single), or the mother's married name, if the mother is widowed or married, but the child does not belong to the husband. It is not be unheard of for an out of wedlock child to take the name of the father, especially if he acknowledged the child was his. However, it usually wasn't done that way, and the child took the mother's name.

Frances ("Franky") was probably home with her mother and grandparents for the 1790 census. She would have been about 13 years old then. William Grant (her grandfather) was listed in Rutherford County, North Carolina for that census, and he had four females with him who were likely: Mary (his wife), Clementine (daughter), Franky (Clementine's daughter) and Susan (Clementine's daughter).

Franky was probably home with her mother and widowed grandmother for the 1800 census. Franky would have been about 23 years old by this time. Mary Grant (Franky's grandmother) was listed as head of household on the 1800 census in Rutherford County, North Carolina. Mary had a full household, including several females of varying ages, one of which is very likely to be granddaughter Franky Grant. There was a female aged 45 and up (born before 1755), which was Mary herself; one female age 26-44 (born ca 1755/74), which must be Clementine Grant; one female age 16-25 (born ca 1774/84) which is probably Franky. Younger girls were present also, probably sister Susan and Mary and another one.

If Franky ever married, it was sometime in the 1800-1808 timeframe, for she had her first child ca 1808, who had the "Pearson" surname. Assuming that "Pearson" was not Franky's own surname, then she married an unknown Mr. Pearson in that timeframe, probably in Rutherford County. There was a John Pearson who married Margaret Grant in 1807. Margaret is a first cousin to Franky, (and daughter of Andrew Grant) so perhaps her husband John is closely related to Franky's Mr. Pearson.

If Franky was indeed married to a Mr. Pearson, he either died, or they separated very quickly, for she was listed as head of household on the 1810 census. She had some "extra" people with her, whom I believe could be her sister Susan Grant and some of Susan's children. Unfortunately this census was alphabetical, so I can't tell who Franky's neighbors were, nor were she lived approximately (though probably in the Mountain Creek area). Other Pearsons listed that year were Lewis Pearson and John Pearson (married to Margaret Grant).

GRANT (1809/10) daughter of Susan

Franky continued to have children after the apparent death or departure of her husband (assuming she was ever married). She and her sister Susan Grant followed in their mother's footsteps in this regard, both having several children out of wedlock.

I was unable to locate Franky on the 1820 or 1830 census, though I'm sure she was still in Rutherford County during those years. She was probably residing with other relatives, and enumerated with their households, though I have yet to find any known relations who had "extra" people with them in 1820 or 1830 who might be Franky and family.

The 1840 census reveals two households that might both be Franky's. She was apparently enumerated twice for some reason (a common census error), or else there was another Franky Pearson in the county at that time. The first entry has an abbreviated name, that on close inspection looks like Frs which of course could be an abbreviation for "Frances", however, it could also be a "K" instead of an "S", (meaning Frederick), but it looks like an "S" to me. She was a few houses from Elijah Dalton (husband of Mary Grant, Franky's sister).

On 6 Nov 1841, Frances Grant Pearson and her siblings were named as heirs in the estate of their brother James Grant, deceased. The estate record gave his heirs as: "Thomas Grant, Susan Grant, Miry Head, Polly Dalton and Franky Pearson, brothers and sisters of the deceased...". (Rutherford Co, NC Estates Book B page 167).

Franky was listed on the 1850 census in Rutherford Co, NC in Polk District with her son John Pearson as head of household. Her son's John's wife Clarkie was there as was Franky's unmarried daughter Celia Pearson.

Franky made her Will in Polk County in 1861. I don't have a copy of this yet. I'm told it names her son John, and daughters Celia and Nancy Gibbs. It is recorded in Will Book 1 page 187. Does anyone have a copy or a transcript?

Apparently the above Will, or the subsequent probate records show that Frances died on 8 Jun 1861 in Polk County, North Carolina.

Her Will and the various census records seem to show that she only had three children:

Celia Pearson, born ca 1808, still single as of 1860.

John Pearson, born ca 1814. Married Clarky Ann Slaton on or after 25 Aug 1840 (Marriage bond) in Rutherford Co, NC. They had no children as of 1850 or 1860 or 1880 census. They were in Rutherford in 1850 and 1880, Polk in 1860. I don't have them in 1870 yet.

Nancy Pearson, born ca 1816, married William Gibbs (c1807), lived in Rutherford County, Green Hill Township (Mountain Creek area).

Susan Grant was born ca 1779/80 in NC, probably Rutherford County. Her father is currently unknown. Susan never married, but had several children out of wedlock. See her own page for additional information.

Mary "Polly" Grant was born ca 1790 in Rutherford Co, NC. She was named in two separate Court records by name (in 1791 and 1805) as a child of Clementine. One shows that William Musick was her reputed father.

She married Elijah Dalton on or about 4 Jan 1809.

See their own page for additional information on them.

James Washington Grant was born ca 1790/1800 in Rutherford Co, NC. His father is unknown, but it could be James Love who died in 1802, for he named James W. Grant in his Will, but stated no relationship to him.

James may have married Nancy Tomerlin in 1818 (or it was some other James).

See their own page for additional information on their family.

Thomas Grant was born ca 1801 in Rutherford Co, NC. His father is unknown.

He obtained a marriage bond in Rutherford Co, NC on 30 Jun 1827 to marry Catherine Humphries. John Head was the bondsman. John Head had already married Thomas' sister Mira Grant a few years earlier (see below).

See their own page for additional information on their family.

Mira Grant was born ca 1810 in Rutherford Co, NC. She married John Head on or about 19 Apr 1822 in Rutherford Co, NC. Her brother James Grant was the bondsman.
