Rufus Grant, son of John Grant, Jr. and Mary "Polly" Ridenour, was born on 29 September 1824 in Campbell Co. Tenn. and died on 21 March 1901 in Campbell Co., Tenn. He married Lucy Parker on 26 March 1845 in Campbell Co. They were married by J.H. Grant, J.P. She was born on 24 Sept. 1822, possibly in Kentucky, and died on 17 April 1902 in Campbell County. Roy Cooper stated that Lucy was the daughter of an Irish immigrant and that her father had married "a Kentucky Indian, Shoni (Shawnee?) Indian." I do not know where they are buried. Martha Grant Cate wrote " In the 1900 census of Campbell Co., Tenn. Rufus and Lucy Parker Grant are living in the home of Lewis and Amanda J. Grant in the 1st Civil District." This census lists Rufus being born in Tennessee, his father in Connecticut, and his mother in Virginia. Lucy states she was born in Kentucky, her father in Ireland, and her mother in Tennessee (My note: Was told by Minnie Grant Mallicoat that her father, Nicholas B. Grant, had an Uncle Nathan Parker who lived in Gray, Kentucky. I also list an Ellen Parker, but cannot recall if this is Nathan's wife or an aunt by the name of Ellen Parker.)
