Thomas Grant Was captured by the forces of Oliver Cromwell at the battle of Worcester in September 1651 while serving with Charles in his attempt to regain the throne. More than ten thousand Scots were taken prisoner in that battle (Encyclopedia Britannica, 1969, Chicago, Ill., vol. 23, p 671). Two months later, 272 of these Prisoners were sent to Boston on the ship John and Sarah, consigned to Thomas Kemble of Charlestown, Mass., as bound servants. The shipping list of this shipment of Scots was recorded at Boston 13 May 1652(Suffolk Deeds, Vol. 1, pp. 5, 6). It recites that the Ship John & Sarah cleared Gravesend, England 11 November 1651. Many of the prisoners were sold to the new iron works complex near Boston. The prisoners were sold as servants bound to serve six, seven, or eight years for 20 or 30 pounds per man. Some signed servant's agreements to work for individuals (Mass. Hist. Soc. Proc., vol. LXI, p15, 23, 28) Some went to Taunton, Mass., just east of Rehoboth to serve in the works at Raynham, near Taunton. Taunton and Raynham were known by their Indian name of Cohannet. Raynham was said to have been the original home of King Phillip who led a bloody Indian war in New England in 1675-76. Raynham is also known as the site of the second iron works in America (Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll., vol. III p 166, 170). The Old Colony Iron Works were at the village of East Taunton, Mass. An iron works known as "Iron Rust" was on the west side of Abbots Run near Robin Hollow, Providence Co., RI It was built under license of King Charles II to Messrs., Hatch and Welmoth (Richard M. Bayles Hist of Providence Co., R.I., 1891 vol II, p 143). Thomas Grant would seem to have been placed near the scene of these iron works at Braintree, Taunton, Raynham, and Providence by the several records of Thomas in Rehoboth town meetings. I believe that Thomas Grant was not one of the iron workers, but probably was indentured to an individual, perhaps William Buckman. The first reliable date placing Thomas Grant in Rehoboth is believed to be 29 August 1657, when he witnessed at Rehoboth a release of bond of that date from Roger Williams (Doubtless the famous Roger Williams, founder of Rhode Island) to William Buckland of Rehoboth for three score and two pounds (Mayflower Descendants. vol. 13, p 40). Roger Williams (1604-1684) was known for having set up the government of Rhode Island in Providence based on the principle of separation of church and state. Thomas, in signing the release of bond as a witness for William Buckland, may have been acting as a servant of the latter bound to service for number of years.3 He was born circa 1630. Thomas may have been born in Scotland, or in England, near Worcester, where he was captured as a soldier of Charles II in 1651..4 He married Sarah Brooks, daughter of Gilbert Brook (Brooks) and Elizabeth Symonds, circa 1666 at Rehoboth, Massachusetts.5 Thomas died on 6 December 1690.6

John Grant was the son of Joseph? Grant. This is the John Grant Sr. Referred to in the land deed in pages 123 and following of the book Smith, Grant and Irons Families of New Jersey's Shore Colonies. by James W. Hook. Readers should not be misled by the terms of Jr. and Sr. as being father and son. It was often the case to use Jr. and Sr. to distinguish to men of the same name, but of different ages. John Sr. and John Jr. as a result of the above named land actions owned all the property of John (The Elder Grant). He married Margaret (Grant). John died in 1830.
