Those interested in the early Grants and history of the Northern Neck will find new information in my book, "A Northern Neck Grant Family," Amazon CreateSpace, Seattle, Washington, 289 pages, ISBN 1449540791.
The Grants of the Northern Neck of Virginia are more than a simple lineage. Their participation in outward bound migrations that shaped America and three wars—Revolutionary, 1812, and Civil—requires historical understanding. As a science, history changed in the 1950s from a focus to please the reader to one of critical thinking and criticisms of institutions, policies and economic divide previously held sacrosanct. This book follows a similar path and offers a fresh perspective on Grant family history and their social and natural environment.
The book further corrects information in the three previous works: (1) Grant, Grace, and Hazel Alice Grant Samson. 1974 ©, “William Grant Genealogy,” published privately, Omaha, Nebraska, and West Lafayette, Indiana, 184 pages; (2) Russell, Thomas Triplett, 1978, “The Grant Families of the Northern Neck of Virginia,” published privately, Miami, Florida, 3 charts, 22 pages; and (3) Hirsch, Dianne C., 1994, “The Descendants of Elizabeth and William Grant,” published privately, Logan, Utah, 301 pages.
Thank you, Fred B. Samson, PhD, member, National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution, through John Grant of Fauquier County, Culpeper Minute Men, and Daniel Morgan’s 11th Virginia Regiment.
