CHARLES T. GRANT, farmer; P. O. Leonardsburg; is the descendant of two ancient families, the Grants and the Whipples ; the former reaches back to the time when the deadly feud existed between them and the McPhersons ; Ebenezer Grant, a Scotchman, came to the colonies before the Revolution, and settled in Rhode Island; he had seven sons-Bryer, Jabez and John, by his first marriage, and Rhodes, Eliphaz, Aaron and Rufus by the last marriage ; Bryer and John served in the army of the Revolution under Gen. Washington, Bryer as fifer, and John as drummer; both were in the battle of Bunker Hill, under Gen. Warren; Aaron Grant, first son of Ebenezer, was the father of Aaron the second, who was born Jan. 25, 1800, in Rhode Island, and who, Sept. 3, 1821, married Diana Whipple, a descendant of one of the oldest families in Rhode Island, many of whom served in the war for independence ; she was born Dec. 19, 1799, in Rhode Island ; in October, 1829, Aaron, with his family, started from Rhode Island and arrived at Sandusky City in November, where he employed a wagoner, named Morris, to haul them to Delaware Co.; he started with a five-horse team, much of the way, cutting out the road until they arrived at the home of his father-in-law, Reuben Whipple ; Indians were discoverable along the route; Aaron purchased his land from one Milton Vanduser, who had erected a double log cabin ; wild turkeys were in great abundance, and would pass between the cabins in search of corn ; the Indians occupied the forest on these premises only about one year previous to the settlement of the farm, and the evidences of two camping-grounds are still visible. Charles T. Grant, eldest son of Aaron Grant, Jr., was born Jan. 28, 1823, in Providence, R. I., and came, with his parents, to Ohio in 1829. Feb. 17, 1861, he married Diana Hibbard, a teacher, of culture and fine mental endowments, who was born Jan. 6, 1842, in Morrow Co., Ohio; they have two children-Horace Plum, born April 8, 1862, and Mary Emma, July 12, 1866. Mr. Grant is a farmer and dealer in stock, a man of energy and generous impulses ; has figured conspicuously as a private citizen and as a Director of the County Infirmary for a term of three years; his demeanor as such was creditable to himself and satisfactory to his friends; in many observable ways, Puritan blood crops out in the form of fixed traits of character, which individualize but do not detract from the individual.
