      Captain Noah Grant:
      Edward Chancey Marshall a.m. author of “The History of the United States Naval Academy” in his work “The Ancestry of General Grant” says: “Captain Noah Grant was born in Tolland, Connecticut, June 20tah 1748; he died at Maysville, Kentucky Feb 14th 1820. Captain Grant enlisted at the first call for troops for Lexington, Kentucky and served through most of the revolution (see p. 170 Genealogy of General Grant). Again in PP 44 & 45 “As Matthew Grant was a founder in the wilderness of one of these colonies, so, in a later age, was Captain Noah Grant of the Revolution “one of the founders in blood and suffering of this almighty republic.” On pp 46 & 47 of the same work it is said: “Noah Grant took the field with the first party who marched to avenge the outrage at Lexington H was then twenty-seven years of age, and age suitable for Military service. At the first drum beat for independence, having received an appointment as a Lieutenant of the militia, he bolstered forward to the sense of danger. He _______ on duty with the army gathered at Cambridge, under General Astenans ? Ward and Israel Rterain? And shared in the glory ect ect. At Bunker Hill.” When Washington organized the army in July 1775 Noah Grant’s commission as Lieutenant was_______, by Washington’s orders, in the continental Army (see p. 47 Ancestry of General Grant.).

      I do not know when Noah Grant’s record can be found but most probably in the archives of Massachusetts and Washington, However Marshall’s work is taken from records, and letters of my Grandfather, Jesse Root Grant, the son of Captain Noah Grand and my Grandfather was twenty-four or twenty-five years old when his father, Captain Noah, died and must have talked together many times about the Revolutionary War. My Grandfather has informed me (many years ago) that his father served during most of the Revolution, ending finally, as a Captain .
