Notes from Barbara Bartels’ records:130
Turkey Hills, the town of Elisha Granger’s birth, is now called East Granby CT. It was once part of Simsbury CT and until 1800 the same area was part of MA, although CT often claimed it. Elisha Granger was listed in Phelps, Ontario Cty NY as early as 1789. However, the oldest child Pharas was listed as born in 1790-1794 in CT. By 1807 Elisha and Molly Granger were in Sodus NY on Fly Creek.

An Elisha was termed a “Minister,” of Sodus NY, & this could’ve applied to either Elisha Jr or Sr, altho Elisha Sr would have been termed “of Phelps NY.” The family name of Mary “Polly” is reputed to be Printus, however no records have been found of a family by that name. The closest to this name located is Prentiss or Printup.

In 1824, the Grangers moved to Macomb Cty MI.

In the 1850 census, Amgrad’s birthplace was given as Canada. In the Ancestral file, Susannah’s birthplace was given as Quebec. While it is not known if the family lived in Canada, these birthplace listings give rise to speculation.

The children of this family scattered to IL, IN, and IA, Mary and A[l]den being the ones who stayed in Macomb Cty. Elisha Granger died of TB, then called consumption, and Mary Granger died at 72 of breast cancer.

The Granger family specialized in oddball names, and this family was no exception. Some ofthe names found in other Granger families in NY state were Almarin, Berrajah, Cerah, Dighton, Epaphrus, Gahaza, Ithemar, and more, in a list in the Granger file.
