William Grant

Lowell Ray Jackson, SR started a discussion about William Grant II

Subject: William Grant II - William Grant II I believe Speaker's reference to William Grant II's origins are in error. There are other accounts that stipulate his father was a prisoner from the Rebellion of 1715 and was removed to the American Colonies circa 1816 and was a servant for four years. In the available documents, there is record of a William Grant who was captured and arrived in Maryland in 1716 which would support this theory. Documents for both Grants supporting the Rebellion of 1745 are totally lacking.

[473] "The Boone Family; a Genealogical History" Hazel Atterbury Spraker Rutland, VT, 1922 (Reprinted, Genealogical Publishing, Baltimore, MD. 1974) p61:

"Elizabeth Boone (Squire; George), born 5 Feb., 1732 (Old Time) or 16 Feb., 1732 (New Time) in Berks County, Pennsylvania; died 25 Feb., 1825, in Kentucky. (Other dates given as 5 Feb., 1814 & '15.) Married about 1750 on the Yadkin River in North Carolina to William Grant (b. 1726; d. 22 Jan., 1804, at the age of 78, in Fayette County, Ky.) William Grant was the son of a Scotch father, also William Grant, and an Irish mother, Margaret Venner. He was born and raised in the Scotch Highlands, imbibing a great love for his country and a desire for her independence from English sovereignty. Knowing this, it is not surprising to find him taking part in the Rebellion of 1745-46, in which it is said he served under Prince "Charlie." Following the defeat of the Scottish army at the Battle of Culloden 16 April, 1746 (which sealed the fate of the house of Stuart and its supporters), Grant emigrated to America and located in the Yadkin country, where a great many others of the Pretender's adherents settled. Here he met and married, about 1750, Elizabeth Boone, and here too all their children with the exception of William were born."
