CHAUNCY LOTHROP11 GRANT (ELISHA10, ELISHA9, EPHRAIM8, SAMUEL7, SAMUEL6, MATTHEW5, JOHN4, GEORGE3, JOHN2, WILLIAM1) was born June 04, 1802 in Booneville, Oneida Co., N.Y., and died November 22, 1883 in Itasca, Hill Co. Texas. He married TEMPERANCE PAGE DONOVAN May 10, 1840 in Alabama, daughter of ALLEN PAGE. Notes for CHAUNCY LOTHROP GRANT: From the Church of Jesus Christ fo latter-day Saints: A Herbert J. Grant is listed as a relitive of Chauncy Lothrop Grant. Obituary of Chauncey Lothrop Grant as printed in the book: The Grants and Their Families including Whitson, McMillian and Stanley Families, Compilied by Clemmie Videlle Grant Wilson, 1975. (The book can be found at the Texas State Library and Archives, Genealogy Collection]. Chauncey Lothrop Grant was born in Oneida County, New York, June 4, 1802: died in Hill County, Texas, November 21, 1883: buried Rockwall Cemetery. He moved to Alabama in 1837. In 1840 ws married to Mrs. Donovan. In 1847 moved to Sabine County, Texas, where he settled and raised a large family and where in 1868 he lost his wife. In 1877 he moved to Hill County, where he died. In early life he joined the Congregationalist Church in which church he lived some 20 years (1820-1840); but his wife being a Methodist, he at length joined the Methodist Church in which he lived acceptably till the day of his death. He was for many years an officer in the church. He was not an office seeker, however, but rather preferred an humble place in the church. As a Steward he was faithful and often advanced money to the preacher when he could not collect. As a leader and Sunday School Superintendent, he was efficient and diligent. Father Grant (as he was called by us all ) was one of the best men in all our country - loved and respected by all who knew him. Perhaps few men enjoyed more of the esteem and confidence of his fellow men than did Father Grant. He was full of the Holy Ghost and faith. His religion was an everyday experience. He rejoiced evermore. This writers heart has been cheered and his faith strengthened by conversing with him on the subject of religion. Not only so but his religion was a principle, controlling his life and conduct. He voted as he prayed. He never missed an opportunity to cast his vote for prohibition. He was strictly temperate in all things - used no whisky, tobacco or coffee. He believed that a temperate life contributed to his length of days which was doubtless true. He was posted in the doctrines of his church. We will hear no more his hearty amens in response to truth in this world. He was fond of reading good books, especially standard works, The most of which he had in his library. But Father Grant is gone, his place is vacant in the church. He is not, for God took him. His death was very sudden. At night he retired in his usual manner, before day he complained of a pain and in a few moments he fell asleep. Thus lived and died this good man. He leaves several children to mourn his departure. May God bless them and help them to serve the God of their father and meet him in Heaven. [D:\Genealogy\Grant\Grant Genealogy, No. 2.eml] 22. Chauncy Lothrop GRANT was born on 4 Jun 1802 in Booneville, Oneida Co., New York. He died on 21 Nov 1883 in Itasca, Hill County, Texas. Chauncy died at the home of his son, Jacob C. Grant. His grave at Rockwall Cemetery, along with others of the Grant family, was fenced and concreted by his grandson, Arthur M. Grant. He was buried in Rockwall Cemetery, Hill County, Texas. Chauncy went by C.L., Chancy, Chauncey, and Cheney Grant. His son Jacob is listed on the Texas State Death records as Jacob Chansley, Jacob's daughter, Annis, named her first son William Chansley. Jacob named a son John Chansley. So I am asuming that Chauncy's name was Chansley Lothrop. Abstract of Deeds - Sabine County Archives, Hemphill, Texas Pg.435 - Power of Attorney - C.L.Grant hand J.A.
