William Grant

William Grant was born 1830 in Seneca County, New York.

William left New York and moved to western Michigan. In 1860 there was one William Grant, age 22 and born in Scotland, living and working in Ada and in Vergennes, Kent County.

William stood 5’8” with blue eyes, brown hair and a dark complexion and was 31 years old and possibly living in Kent County when he enlisted in Company F on May 13, 1861. He was discharged on account of asthma on May 30, 1862, at the Patent Office hospital in Washington, DC.

It is not known if William returned to Michigan after he left the army.

No pension seems to be available.
