Thanks to all that responded. Florence found him. I had faulty information that Simeon was born in Great Barrington, MA, when it was Barrington, RI.

Are you sure he was b. in Great Barrington MA? A Simeon Grant died of consumption in Somerset MA 5 Nov 1871. His age was 56 years, 10 months and 7 days. He was a carpenter b. Barrington RI to William Grant b. Barrington and Louis Grant b. Sekonk[sic]. There was a Barrington RI m. of William Grant and Lois Ladue; m. by Rev. Luther Baker, Feb. 22, 1798. Don't know if it's connected. Florence **************Know Your Numbers: Get tips and tools to help you improve your credit score.
