ALONZO GROUT, Holland/VT/IA
I'm not a Grout researcher but thought this info may help someone.From the 1891 "Biographical History of Pottawattamie Co, Iowa" a bio for ALONZO GROUT (b. 4/10/1829, Wethersfield, VT).Bio states that he was of Holland Dutch ancestry as "three brothers of that name came from Holland before the War of the Revolution, one settling in Massachusetts, one in New Hampshire, and one in Vermont.The Grandfather of Alonzo was HEZEKIAH GROUT, a soldier in the Revolutionary War and farmer of Wethersfield, Windsor Co, VT and Futland Co.Hezekiah had children: Hannah, Chloe, Elmina, Nabia, John, Hezekiah and George.John Grout was the father of Alonzo.John married Polly McAllister, and they had children: Elkana, Daney, Alonzo, William, Henry, Rockwood, Marcia, Lucia, and Louisa.If anyone wants this complete bio, please e-mail me directly as I don't frequent this GenForum site. Thanks.
