Generation: 1

  1. 1.  John G. Grantham was born on 14 Nov 1849 in Mississippi; died on 2 Jan 1933 in Sabine Parish, Louisiana; was buried in Zions Rest Cemetery, DeSoto Parish, Louisiana.

    Notes:

    The son of Richard GRANTHAM and Lydia Jane BARLOW. At the time of the 1900 Rankin County, Mississippi census, he lived next door to a younger Jo??? Grantham, presumably his eldest son.

    Said to have died but there is contradictory information about the date of his death. The Louisiana Statewide death index lists a John Grantham, died 21 Jan 1934 in Sabine Parish, at the age of 86 (therefore born ca 1848). Certificate #0-908 Volume 3. The FindAGrave listing for J G Grantham instead shows his dates as 1847-1933. He is linked to daughter, Bama Grantham Martin, and is listed as a son of Richard Grantham III and Lydia Jane Barlow. His is buried at the Zions Rest Cemetery in De Soto Parish.
