Although some US researchers have John Grant listed in the USA in the later half of the 1600s this is most unlikely as John Grant had not yet been born!

=============================================================================================================

More likely this would be a coincidental birth date of two unrelated John Grants In face of Windsor church record and his father Mathew and mother Priscilla being in CT at the time what is the source of this date and place.? 4 4 2014 ...................................................Please respond What John Grant are you referring to?
