Dr. Charles Grant, of Cincinnati; Nancy G., the wife of Dr. Bryant, of Springfield, Ohio; John (deceased); Nathan S., a physician in Macon, Mo.; Frank, who is now married and living in Illinois, and William, a farmer in Turtle Creek Township. Mr. R., at the time of his death, owned 250 acres of land, where his family now lives. He was one of the early settlers of Ohio; his father died when he was 12 years of age, and at that tender age he was obliged to work for himself; he commenced by driving a team from Cincinnati to Detroit, and on one of these trips he stuck so deep in the mud as to be unable to extricate himself, until a detachment of troops under Gen. Harrison came by and assisted him. For five years prior to his death he was blind, and was constantly attended by his daughter Martha. He is said to have helped in hauling the brick for the first brick house in Cincinnati. He died full of years and good works, on the land where he had settled when the country was yet peopled by the denizens of the forest.
