Mary Grant died after 1763, however the location of her death is not certain. Probably it was at Cornwall, Litchfield County, Connecticut, however The Grant Family (1898) published that she died at Nobletown, Columbia County, New York.

Note: There were at least two Mary Grants living contemporaneously in the same geography. Care should be exercised to not confuse this profiled person with the Mary Grant who was born 6 Sep 1710, daughter of Joseph Grant and Mary Warren, who married Moses Noble and (2nd) Hezekiah Jones.
