Hello! I have tracked down my Grimsley ancestor, Owen Grimsley back to 1850. He was living in Wilmington, NC with his wife and one daughter. His occupation was a shoemaker. After his service in the civil war, he and his family settled down in north central Florida (Putnam/Volusia/Flagler Counties). He owned land on Lake Crescent (Flagler County side) where their property was later named Grimsley's Cove. At this time, he was farming oranges.
I have a strong feeling his father was James Murray who is listed in the census between 1800 and 1840 as living in Duplin County, NC (right outside of Wilmington).
