• From my family information, Ephraim and Esther had a son, my 5th great grandfather, Elisha Grant born March 14,1752 in Conneticut, died Dec. 23,1824 in Canada. Elisha and Mary Grant had a daughter, Ruth Grant. Ruth married Ebenezer LeGro in 1797. Thus, the LeGro line goes to my grandmother, Addie Elizabeth LeGro who married Joel Hanson, my grandfather.
