I am here because I feel wikitree is a great opportunity to fix the various genealogical mistakes that run unchecked on the internet, and my hope is that this can be a one-stop source for accurate and proven ancestral information for my own and all other families that have a story to tell. My greatest hope is to one day uncover the parents of Matthew Grant and his deeper ancestry.

I sent you a check-in message a week ago about the Military and War Project to ask you about your continued involvement but have not yet heard back from you. Do you still want to be in the project? If I don’t hear from you by the same time next week I’ll assume that you’ve moved on to other things but you’re most welcome to re-join the project at any time.

Yes Im connected to this Grant family but in a interesting historic way I believe. Samuel Grant married my Great great grandma Matilda Ronger (Grant) Simpier and had a child a son Edward Ronger Grant. The father Samuel Grant died tragically in the civil war and Matilda remarried as a widow my Great Great Grandpa Joseph Simpier (Also a civil war veteran) so we have shared blood in a very unique way as if Samuel never died in the civil war I guess you could say we all wouldnt exist lol.
So nice to meet you. I am working on this mystery Samuel Grant my Simpiers have talked often about.
We are blood connected as distant cousins to Matthew Grant
Not sure our DNA would match but possible as Im related by blood to Matthew Grant but its very distant
Kindest regards Andrew
One source is my great great grandparents marriage record shows widow Matilda Grant marrying Joseph Simpier https://www.ancestry.com/sharing/13180614?h=e2b514
Also Edward Ronger Grant has his birth showing parents as Samuel Grant and Matilda Ronger but still working on his profile as it was just created
Here is my relation to Matthew Grant on my maternal side
Matthew is the 11th great grandfather of Andrew
1. Andrew is the son of [private mother] [confident] 2. [Private] is the daughter of James Elwood Gibbs Sr [confident] 3. James is the son of Lottie Pearl (Barrett) Gibbs [confident] 4. Lottie is the daughter of Evalina Nora Barrett [confident] 5. Evalina is the daughter of Charlotte Ellinor Barrett [confident] 6. Charlotte is the daughter of Sarah L (Miller) Barrett [confident] 7. Sarah is the daughter of Deodatus Miller [confident] 8. Deodatus is the son of Affia (Hillyer) Miller [confident] 9. Affia is the daughter of Mary Eno (Humphrey) Hillyer [confident] 10. Mary is the daughter of Samuel Humphrey [confident] 11. Samuel is the son of John Humphrey [unknown confidence] 12. John is the son of Priscilla (Grant) Humphrey [confident] 13. Priscilla is the daughter of Matthew Grant [confident] This makes Matthew the 11th great grandfather of Andrew.
Was wondering if you middle name is Ian? My brother's name is Geoffrey Ian Grant, and amazingly coincidental.
you have John Gustin in your tree this is my ancestor. Christine
I am a Toledo girl , btw (-: I miss it terribly.
