His farm yields annually 600 bushels of grain, 60 tons of hay, 7 acres of corn, 300 bushels of potatoes and 400 bushels of roots. Besides his herd of cattle, he has 4 horses, 10 swine and a half-hundred fowl. He has been engaged in farming for twenty years. Mr. Grant's father's name was Alexander P. Grant and his mother was Mary Ann Huff. His wife's maiden name was Sarah Alguire, and he is the father of six sons and four daughters. In religion he is a Presbyterian and in politics a supporter of the Union Government. |
