• Notes

  William Grant was a son of William Grant I, of Scotland, who married Margery Varnon, of Ireland, a widow with one son. Her father was a rich man with an elegant household and many servants and she, being badly treated at home, ran away to America, where she met the young Scotchman,William Grant, and married him. Young Grant's name was in reality Douglas. In the land of the thistle he had had bestowed upon him a grant of land for a deed of bravery and was thenceforth called the "Grant" Douglas, to distinguish hira from others of the same name, and when he came to America he assumed the name of Grant. William Grant II was born in Pennsylvania, in February, 1726, and died in Fayette county, Kentucky, in 1804.
