Information on Squire Grant

From "Kentucky: A history of the State, embracing a concise account of the origin and development of the Virginia colony, its expansion westward, and the settlement of the frontier beyond the Alleghanies: the erection of Kentucky as an independent State, and its subsequent development", by William Henry Perrin, J. H. Battle, 1888:

There are conflicting statements as to the source whence the county (Grant County, Kentucky) derived its name. One is that it was named for Col. John Grant, a North Carolinian, who established a station in the present county of Fayette in 1779; was driven away by the Indians, and returned to North Carolina, came back to the same station in 1784, then went to Illinois, but came back to Kentucky and died here. Another statement is that it was named for Samuel Grant, who was killed by the Indians in 1794 near the Ohio River, in the present State of Indiana, and who was a brother of Gen. Squire Grant and Col. John Grant.
