Biography
Research Notes
- Much of this is possible, but not sourced. The only sources on this profile are family trees. More documentation is needed for a pre-1700 profile.
Grace seems to have been a native (Micmac) woman whom John married after arriving in New England. Similarly, Tituba, the famous native `slave`during the Salem witch trials, was referred to as `Tituba Indian`. [3] indicates "Grace was born in 1584, in Village Miq-Maq, Turtle Clan, Mohawk Nation, Acadie, Nouvelle-Écosse, Canada. " Source not cited, and included here for reference only.
- the Find a Grave memorial says she was the wife of the Chief. If this is true, there should be some documentation about that relationship. How did the chief give his wife away?
- Is there any evidence as to how she arrived in England where the son Launcelot was born? Launcelot lived in England quite a while, enough to be married. It would be unusual for an indigenous person to travel to England in those days. The marriage record on the son does not name his parents.
- I worked extensively on the Membertou family using the baptism record of Henry and his family. There was no daughter named Grace, either a child of Henry or a grandchild. However if she had left to be married in England in 1608 or earlier (based on the birth of a son in England in Oct 1609, she would not have been at the baptism of the rest of her family in 1610. Yet there was a son of Henry who was not at the baptism and he was named and noted in Wikipedia.(Bourque-573 14:45, 1 November 2021 (UTC))
- Perhaps records of some of their other children will document her marriage to John Granger, and her Mi'kmaq heritage. Is there a 1640 death record in England as the Find A Grave text says? The facts above says she died in Nova Scotia.
