I am looking for information on Alexander Grant born in 1771 and died June 25, 1843. He is buried in Christ Anglican Cemetery in Guysborough, Nova Scotia. He married Mary Ferguson in 1808, a widow of Christopher Whittendale, she is also buried in the same cemetery. He purchased land in Oyster Ponds, Guysborough County, Nova Scotia in 1796 and again in the early 1800's. He was my great-great-great grandfather. I have information on his descendants, however I am at a loss as to where he came from. The family story was that he came from Strathspey, Scotland, but we dont know what year or if he came directly to Nova Scotia or via the US. He supposedly also purchased land in River Inhabitants on Cape Breton Island, NS. If anyone has any information I would love to hear from them.
Many thanks
