Grant, Josiah, 1696 - 1732

Josiah Grant lived in Windsor, Connecticut, before moving to Stonington. He and his brother-in-law, Samuel Minor, purchased four parcels of land totaling 280 acres of land that the Connecticut General Court had set aside in 1671 and 1672 for certain Pequot soldiers who had allied themselves with the colony. Minor purchased Grant’s interest in the land before 1716. Grant received a survey of land reserved for Mamoho in 1716. He married Grace Prentice on Nov. 30, 1721.
