Notes
a. Note:   died near the end of the Revolutionary War. He was either a Private or a non-commisioned officer in the Kings American Regiment.
b. Note:   The LDS Ancestral File incorrectly shows the parents of this family as Major James (of the King's American Regiment) and Penuel Grant. This error has been perpetuated by many sites on the internet. According to Ruth Grant in her book, "The Grant Connexion", there were at least three Grant widows with the Loyalists. Two of them, Penuel Grant and Sarah Grant, were the widows of officers. According to her obituary, Penuel Grant was repatriated with her family to England where she died on 21 Feb 1824, aged 80. Sarah Grant was shipwrecked while crossing the Bay of Fundy in Mar 1787. She died leaving a son Robert, 18, and four younger daughters.
  On a petition dated at St. Ann's, 15 Sep 1784, there are more than one hundred names attached, listed as "noncommissioned officers and Privates of the late disbanded British American Corps". Among those names we find both the Widow Grant and Hendrick Cronk. Henry Cronk(hite) married the Widow Grant in Oct 1784 and they and her five small children moved to a lot above Shogomoc.
