Search for William Grant & Jean Francois Grant
Hello,
Does anyone have any knowledge of the following children of William Grant of Trois-Rivieres (1743-1810) and Marguerite Fafard dit Laframboise:
1) William Grant - b. December 19, 1787, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec.
Known as the 'missing Grant'. Disappeared 1809 or 1810 from New York. He and 2 other men (Larkins & O'--Lighan) were engaged on board a British Letter of Mark they believed to be heading to the West Indies. Instead, the ship was absconding them to England. Grant was unable to escape with the other two men and never heard from. One story indicates he was hung as a pirate.
2) Jean Francois Grant - Bapt. April 11, 1791, Trois-Rivieres, Quebec.
Believed to have married a tall woman by whom he had about 7 sons and some daughters. May have been in Sault Ste. Marie. May have moved to the U.S.
Note: William Grant of Trois-Rivieres was the son of John Grant in Inverlochie and Jean Forbes and was Bapt. April 24, 1743, Prish Kirkmichael, Scotland)
Any info will help. Thank you!
Anita
