Hello, I just posted a reply to your query on Benjamin Grinnell born 1761 n RI, and now I see you have another Grinnell I am familiar with.Euphemia Arnette Grennell/Grinnell was the daughter of James and Augusta(Pierce) Grennell.She was born June 27, 1850 and was married to Frank Hirum Reed in 1890.Her father, James Monroe Grennell was the grandson of Benjamin P. who I spoke of in the other reply.James and Augusta were married in Cortland Co. NY, andmoved to Harpersfield Twp., Ashtabula Co. OH in 1847.After they moved to MI, first to Williamston, Ingham Co then to Woodhull Twp., Shiawassee Co.They had nine children, four of whom married Reed family siblings (my great-great grandfather, Velorus Grennell married Cordelia Reed.The Reed siblings were the children of Hiram and Martha (Shattuck) Reed.Early in this century, the families held a Grinnell-Reed reunion. Many Grinnells/Grennells still live in the area.Most of this information and more can be found in a biographical sketch on Velorus Grennell in the "Past and Present of Shiawassee County, MI".If you are interested sharing more information about this and the other query, please contact me.
