Grant was transported from Liverpool to South Carolina aboard the ship Susannah in 1716, for participation in the Jacobite rising of 1715. [9][14]
He wrote in a report dated January 12, 1756, to the governor of South Carolina, that he moved into the Cherokee Country about 1726. [15]
Grant settled in Overhill Cherokee community of Great Tellico and worked as a trader for the Cherokee [8] and, through the 1740s, as the liaison between the Overhill Cherokee and James Glen, colonial governor of South Carolina. [16]
