overseeing the collection of rent in
kind into the barns and storehouses of

I am
dedicating this Granger web site to Evelyn Mae Granger
Crowson, who was my mother, friend, ally and role model.
Evelyn gave unconditionally of her time and love,
especially when it came to family. I believe she
would have been thrilled to find out the history of the
Granger family, and especially thrilled to know of her
ancestors. My mother would have cherished the good
and laughed away the bad!!
History of the
Launcelot Granger Family
The following is a summary of what I believe to be correct about
the early Launcelot Granger family. I have used the sources noted
at the end. I am always open to changes, so please let me know if you
find errors or additions - with the documentation you have used. For
those of you who are just beginning your Granger research, this history is
not meant to be a primary source for your data. Hopefully, it will be
of interest and a good starting point.
Launcelot Granger, the son of Launcelot Granger of Shellington,
England, came to America from England about 1648. He settled in Ipswich,
Mass. It is thought that he returned to his home in England to settle
his mother's estate, returning to Newbury with the financial means to marry
and build a home. He then removed to Newbury, Mass. in the Massachusetts
Bay colony. On January 04, 1653/54, Launcelot married Joanna Adams,
the daughter of Puritans, Robert Adams and Eleanor Wilmot Adams.
Launcelot and Joanna lived at Kents Island, Newbury, Mass., where they
had eleven children. These children were John, George, Robert, Elizabeth,
Rebecca, Dorothy, Hannah, Samuel, Mary, Abraham and Thomas.
In
1674, they removed to Suffield, Conn., where they were allotted land, living
in a house on High Street. He was land measurer in Suffield for
several years, and held other public offices.
In
1676, Launcelot was wounded by the Indians in King Philip's War, receiving
a ball in his leg, which he carried for life. Launcelot Granger died
on September 3, 1689 in Suffield, Conn.
