Relationship=Grandmother of Joe Frierson Grant.

     Telitha's mother died when she was about six years old, her Father married again when she was about eleven. Her Grandmother Nancy, who had possibly been very close died in 1857.

She was born on 17 November 1844 at Tennessee. Telitha Elizabeth Wilson was the daughter of William S. Wilson and Nancy Williams. She married Abner Grant, son of John W. Grant and Mary Ann Hugle, on 3 April 1859 at Pontotoc County, Mississippi.1 Telitha died on 25 May 1893 at Shannon, Lee County, Mississippi, at age 48.2,3 She was buried in at Shannon Cemetery at Shannon, Lee County, Mississippi.
