| Notes |
- They left England shortly after the baptism of their youngest child, Anna, in Dec 1637, for they were in New England before Jan 1639. At that date, William Stickney was admitted into the First Church of Boston, and in 1698 Samuel Stickney of Bradford, MA, son of William deposed that he "came over from England to New England in the same ship with Thomas and Jane Grant his wife, who brought with them foure Children, by name John, Hannah, Frances, & Ann..." Of their four children, John died without issue; Frances married, at Newbury, MA 2 Oct 1653, Solomon Keyes, and they soon moved to Chelmsford, MA; and Ann married, at Rowley, 4 Jan 1658, Robert Emerson of Haverhill.
The author of "The Hazen Family in America" long believed that Thomas Grant, the immigrant father of Hannah, who also married and had children recorded at Cottingham, was another son of John, and that belief is confirmed by the discovery of the baptism at Hessle of four children of John Grant, the first of whom was named Thomas. The last child of John recorded at Cottingham was in 1598, and the first child of John recorded in Hessle was about 2 1/2 years later. Many family names were given in the next generation also. Although lacking in confirmation by will, these considerations and the relative rarity of the Grant surname in this region, warrent the identification of John of Cottingham with John of Hessle, though do not prove it.
There is nio record of his death, but he came from England in 1638 and his wife, Jane, was listed in town records as being a widow in 1643.
