 | | Although Wiley Grant's tombstone in Chilton Cemetery in Big Sandy, Upshur Co., TX notes he was born April 27, 1843 in Ducktown, TN, it is apparent from census records and information obtained from other Grant researchers that he was actually born ca 1834 – 1835 in Buncombe County, NC. |
 | | Wiley is shown with his parents, Alexander and Susan Grant, until the 1860 census when he is found in Walker Co., GA with his wife, Susanna (Susan) Bruce (Source of her maiden name is from her daughter's, Susan Frances Grant Kennedy, death certificate. |
 | | It seems likely that Wiley's father, Alexander Grant, and family moved from Gilmer Co., GA to Polk Co., TN in the early 1850's since daughter Roxanna is believed to have been born there. |
