GRANT / FOLAND / LANE I am searching for the parents of Amanda Catherine GRANT b. 12 July 1836 TN; d. 19 July 1896 New Market, Jefferson Co TN; m. 15 April 1857 Jefferson Co. TN to Daniel Benjamin F. FOLAND b. ca 1835 in Rockingham Co. VA. I believe that Amanda had a sister, Julia GRANT, who married Daniel 's brother, George FOLAND. on 12 January 1860 in Jefferson Co. I think that Amanda is from the Isaac GRANT line of Jefferson Co., but I haven't determined which son is her father. Isaac was born ca 1760-70 . He had sons David, James, John and Isaac Jr. all born in TN ca 1800 - 1810. David GRANT, Justice of the Peace, officiated at the marriage of Amanda GRANT FOLAND's daughter, Lucretia Jane, to John Wesley LANE in 1878 in Jefferson Co. I would appreciate hearing from any GRANT, FOLAND, or LANE researchers.
