Biography

A huge writing is linked below for James C Grinter, here are a few key excerpts.

James C. Grinter attended one of the old log cabin schools of Kentucky, and as a youth became intimately acquainted with Henry Clay and other noted Kentuckians of that day. At the age of seventeen he became salesman for a firm, one of the pioneer traveling men of that day, and went by horseback, representing his firm over a large part of the South, including Tennessee, Missouri and Mississippi. On October 8, 1849, he left Kentucky on horseback, crossing the Mississippi at St. Louis, the Missouri at what later became Kansas City, and took charge of the ferry across the Kansas River about two miles west of the village of Muncie, in Wyandotte County. He had charge of the ferry for about five years. In 1849 James C. Grinter, a younger brother of Moses, came to Kansas. He assisted as ferryman until 1855, and married Anna Grinter's sister Rosanna Marshall. A post office called Delaware, the first in what is now Wyandotte County, was established in 1850 with Indian trader James Findlay as Postmaster. As names (and spelling) were apparently somewhat flexible in the mid Nineteenth Century, it should perhaps be noted that the Grinter ferry, the Military ferry, Delaware, the Delaware ferry, Delaware Crossing, Secondine, and Secondyne all refer to the same small community.

While there he met and married Rosanna Marshall, who was born at Springfield, Missouri. Her father, William Marshall, was a prominent and wealthy trader among the Delaware Indians.

James C. Grinter, is a farmer by vocation as noted in a census.


James C. Grinter was born on 23 January 1828 [James H. Lawler Family Records say 23 January 1829] at Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky and he died 26 July 1893 at Perry, Jefferson County, Kansas. He married Kansas Delaware Rosanna Marshall on 15 February 1850 on the Kansas Delaware Reserve (present Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas.

Note: The following is from Kansas and Kansans, pp.2517-2518:

James C. Grinter, who was one of the first white settlers in Kansas, came to this territory in 1849. For many years he was a resident of Wyandotte County] and his later years were spent in Jefferson County, near Perry. . . James C. Grinter was born in Logan County, Kentucky, January 3, 1828. His father, Francis Grinter, was born in Virginia, son of a soldier of the Revolutionary War and of Scotch-Irish ancestry [not necessarily]. Francis Grinter was an early settler in Logan County, Kentucky, and a farmer and a slave owner there. In 1854 he also came out to Kansas but only remained a few years, and going back to Kentucky, died in that state in 1864. [We have seen no other proof of his having been in Kansas.] His wife was Susan Reed, a native of Virginia and whose father was a soldier in the Revolution. Francis Grinter and wife had four sons, named John, William H., Moses, and James, and their daughters included Jane, Kate, and Polly. Moses Grinter came West to locate a ferry across the Kansas River on the military road between Fort Leavenworth and Fort Scott, arriving in January 1831. Fr many years he was the only white man in Wyandotte County. He married a woman of the Delaware tribe of Indians.

James C. Grinter attended one of the old log cabin schools of Kentucky, and as a youth became intimately acquainted with Henry Clay and other noted Kentuckians of that day. At the age of seventeen he became salesman for a firm, one of the pioneer traveling men of that day, and went by horseback, representing his firm over a large part of the South, including Tennessee, Missouri and Mississippi. On October 8, 1849, he left Kentucky on horseback, crossing the Mississippi at St. Louis, the Missouri at what later became Kansas City, and took charge of the ferry across the Kansas River about two miles west of the village of Muncie, in Wyandotte County. He had charge of the ferry about five years.

While there he met and married Rosanna Marshall, who was born at Springfield, Missouri. Her father, William Marshall, was a prominent and wealthy trader among the Delaware Indians. He was of English ascent and he married a member of the Delaware. [There is no proof that William Marshal, or his father, Henry Marshall, were English, but then it is likely that he was.] Rosanna Marshal was reared in Kansas and was educated in the historic Shawnee Methodist Mision. After his marriage James Grinter engaged in farming in Wyandotte County taking up a homestead and becoming owner of about five hundred acres nine miles west of Kansas City. He was a pioneer in raising fancy live stock. He was a participant and and witness of many of the daring scenes in early Kansas history. In 1864 he was a member of the Kansas Militia that too part in the battle near Kansas City and drove off General Price.

In November, 1887, he sold his Wyandotte County far, and the following April moved to Perry in Jefferson County, where he engaged in the mercantile business as a member of the firm J. C./ Grinter and Company. He continued as a merchant until failing health caused him to retire. At Perry he erected what was then the finest residence in the village, at a cost of three thousand dollars, then a great sum to put into a house. He also acquired five hundred acres of farm land and gave each of his children a start in life. During the season of 1888 his hare of the corn grown on his ground aggregated nine thousand bushels.

James C. Grinter always remained a democrat in politics and attended many conventions of his party. For twenty years he was a member of his local school board, was an active Methodist, and one of the builders of the church at Perry and for ten years prominent in church circles as class leader, steward, trustee and Sunday school superintendent. While living in Wyandotte County he was the chief contributor of the Grinter's Chapel, named in his honor, and in the same community is located the Grinter Cemetery. For many years a schoolhouse and a post office bore his name. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity.

A brief account should now be given of the children and descendants of this Kansas pioneer. His children were all born in Kansas and were educated in the home community of Wyandotte County. The daughter Julie married Matthew Cook, by who she had several children, and she died as Mrs. Conlin and is buried at Grinter's Chapel in Wyandotte County.

Etta, who was educated in the public schools and Kansas University, has spent her life in Wyandotte and Jefferson counties. She married Frank P. Simmons, from Kentucky, who died at Perry, Kansas. Mrs. Simmons has no children.

Marie Grinter married James F. Timmons, and died at Edwardsville, Kansas, he children being Mrs. Rose Hays, James, M., Mrs. Dorothy Pulling, Sanford, Ida and Catherine.

Sarah F. Grinter, who has always lined in Wyandotte and Jefferson counties, married James David, a farmer, and their children are Mrs. Etta Fowler, Mrs. Clara Maude, Emery and James.

Mollie B. Grinter married James _____, now deceased, and lives at Perry.

James M. Grinter, a farmer in Jefferson County, was born in the old Muncie locality, married Lou Bowling and has two children, William and Josephine.

Elizabeth S. Grinter became the wife of Charles E. Betts. She was educated in local schools and Palmer's Academy in Kansas City. Her husband came from Ohio to Kansas in childhood and for seventeen years was clerk of the District Court of Wyandotte County. He died in February, 1909. Mrs. Betts for two years was employed in the Bureau of Printing and Engraving at Washington. Her daughter, Sybil D., for eight years was an artist employed at the Bureau of Etymology in the Department of Agriculture. Sibyl married James McDonald, of Cape May, New Jersey, but her first husband was Eugene Segman, and by that union her children are: Eugenia Betts, Gloria Margaret, Walter Dandy and Patricia.

Flora G. Grinter married James M. Martin. of Kansas City, Kansas, and now a resident of Excelsior Springs, Missouri, her children being Mrs. Clara Prather, Miss Gertrude and James M.

Lorenzo D. Grinter, the second of the two sons of James C. Grinter, the pioneer, died at Perry, Kansas.

Suzanne Grinter, who graduated from Christian College at Lexington, Missouri and for many years has been a capable voice teacher, married John Schulze, and she is now head of the department of voice in Asbury College at Wiltmore, Kentucky.

The children of the daughter Julia, who married Matthew Cook, are Mrs. Sarah Jamison, Mrs. Etta Watkins, Thomas Cook and James M. Cook, the latter secretary to the chief-of-police of Kansas City, Kansas.

A article from that year is in some respects almost identical with the clipping found in the 26 September Kansas City Kansan. This Kansan item, partly based on the Lincoln Phifer article three earlier, states that "the old family home at Grinter Heights . . . is a sturdy brick house built not for a day or a year, but to withstand the elements and ears. It is of two stories, built of brick moulded and burned where it was mined. the neighborhood. Finishing lumber, the windows and doors, were hauled from Fort Leavenworth, having first been brought up the Missouri river by boat. The wall of the lower floor is 21 inches thick; that of the second floor, seventeen inches . . . [Moses] and his brother, James C. Grinter, married sisters, who were part French and part Delaware Indian. [There is no proof that they were French. They were one-half Delaware, their mother, Elizabeth Willaquenaho being full-blood Delaware]. Moses married Annie Marshall and James married Rose [Roseanne] Marshall. Moses Grinter and wife had ten children, all of whom are dead. Five died while in childhood and are buried in the old Indian cemetery at White church. The other five are buried in the Grinter chapel cemetery, which adjoins the little old Methodist Episcopal Church, South, which was established through the efforts of Moses Grinter. Moses Grinter died in January, 1978, and his wife in June, 1905.".

In addition to Anna, Betsy Wilaquenaho and William Marshal may have had six other children, four sons and two daughters, but this is questionable. We previously included a daughter Lucinda, born 1827, but it appears now that she was not his daughter: 1. Mary Ann born 1823, married Henry Tiblow 2. John M. died after 4 March 1907 3. Elizabeth Jane married Fish 4. Samuel 5. Rosanna born 28 February 1832, died 3 June 1916, married James C. Grinter 6.Sarah Ann, born 28 Feb. 1832, died after 11 August 1878, married 1. W. H. H. McCamish and 2. Rankin(s).

Rosanna (who makes her home in Perryville, Kas., and is the wife of James C. Grinter, a farmer by vocation. She is the youngest child of the family.

Rosanna Marshall. Her father was William Marshall. Rosanna married James C. Grinter. She had 1862 allotment No. 136.

14 February - Reverend W. D. Smith described the ferry as "a tolerably good ferry, at which the mail crosses once every week going and returning between the Shawnee Agency and the Cantonment Leavenworth. James C., Grinter, his brother, is said to have assisted Moses Grinter as a ferryman from late 1849 to about 1855. (Barry, The Beginning of the West, p. 182. See that entry for more data on the ferry. ) 29 March/April - James C. Grinter, younger brother of Moses Grinter, settled at Secondine on the Delaware Reserve. He married Rosanna Marshall, sister of Anna Marshall. James Grinter assisted as ferryman until 1855. (Ibid.). (whom see in Biographies. An interior view of their home in Perry, Kansas, is also in that entry.) on 15 February 1850 on the Kansas Delaware Reserve (present Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas. She was the sister of Anna "Annie" Marshall, the wife of Moses Read Grinter. He has not yet been found in the 1860 US Kansas Territorial Census as have his brothers, Moses Read Grinter, John Grinter, and William Grinter. James and Rosanna were buried in the Grinter Chapel Cemetery in Kansas City, Wyandotte County, Kansas. 7. James C. Grinter was born on 23 January 1828 [James H. Lawler Family Records say 23 January 1829] at Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky and he died 26 July 1893 at Perry, Jefferson County, Kansas.
