Research Notes

Detached son Joshua Grant (bef.1748-1831) as son of this Joshua's wife Hannah:
As of 13 Nov 2023, Pam Belanger has removed Hannah (Littlefield) Grant (1727-1746) as mother of Joshua Grant (bef.1748-1831). Joshua Grant (bef.1748-1831) is attached as a son to this profile. Hannah (Littlefield) Grant (1727-1746) is attached as wife to this profie. Joshua the son was baptized in 1749, presumably as an infant; this is several years after Hannah's death which is enter as 1746. Neither birth record for Joshua or Hannah, nor death record for Hannah, nor marriage record between Hannah and the Joshua of this profile has been found.

-I have left Joshua Grant (bef.1748-1831) attached as son to this Johsua Grant as Joshua's, the son's, baptismal record indicates they both have the same name, one was baptized in the First Church of Berewick and the other was baptized in the Second Church of Berwick.^[2]

-I'm leaving Hannah (Littlefield) Grant (1727-1746) attached as Joshua's wife. There is a mention of Joshua marrying a Hannah about 1741 in the compliaton "Descendents of Peter Grant (Scotch exile) of Kittery and Berwick, Maine." Hannah's last name is not given in this publication nor is a date of her death or birth. There are no citations given. That compliaton is attached here: ^[3]

-If records are found that change the data, please add, reattach mother and son, and accept my appology!
