87. John Grant (Grant) England^1,10,70 was born in 1846 in Anderson County, Tennessee.

He appeared in the census in 1850 in Anderson County, Tennessee. Joh G 4 m w TN.

He appeared in the census in 1860 in Anderson County, Tennessee. Grant 12 m w TN.

He appeared in the census in 1870 in Fentress County, Tennessee. Grant 22 m w farmer lab. TN cannot R/W, he and his wife were enumerated in the home of his parents John England and Jane (Jenny) Peters.

John Grant (Grant) England and Elizabeth Myatt were married about 1869 in [Fentress County, Tennessee]. Their marriage date is an estimate. After the Civil War, Grant's father John England lived in Anderson County for about four more years according to his Civil War pension application. John and family were then enumerated in the 1870 census in Fentress County. Grant and Elizabeth were also enumerated in the home of Grant's father in Fentress County in 1870.

The Anderson County marriage book is intact, and does not show a marriage for Grant and Elizabeth between the 1860 census and the 1870 census. The Fentress County marriage book was destroyed by a courthouse fire. GIven the timeline of where Grant's father lived, given the absence of a marriage in Anderson County, and given the absence of any children for Grant and Elizabeth in the 1870 census, it seems most likely that they were married in Fentress County not long before the census in 1870.

She appeared in the census in 1870 in Fentress County, Tennessee. Elizabeth 26 f w TN, enumerated with her husband in the home of her father-in-law John England.
