David Milton Grant was the son John Grant and Isabella Paxton. His Father died in 1820 and his mother moved her family to Georgia. David Milton Grant married Nancy Ann Waitts in 1840. Their children were: Mary Frances Grant,
John Milton Grant, Joseph Pinckney Grant and Elizabeth Grant.

Brother David Milton Grant was born in Abbeyville County, South Carolina,
January 10, 1818 and died in Wilmot, Arkansas - Ashley County, Arkansas
When he was two years old his mother moved to Georgia, where he lived
until he was grown. He was married to Miss Nancy A. Waits in 1840, and
moved to Ashley County, Arkansas in 1851. In December of the same year he
settled on Bayou Bartholomew, near the Louisiana line, where he lived
until July 16, 1903, when he passed over the last river, to rest amid the
beauties of the eternal Kingdom.
Brother Grant was a good and useful man; was converted and joined the
church in 1842; filled the office of steward for nearly 50 years: True to
preacher and church. About three years ago he became unbalanced mentally,
so much so that he did not know his wifeor daughter, but the force of habit
was seen in him. He would want to go to church, was frequently found at
secret prayer and hardly ever failed to ask a blessing when he went to eat.
He leaves an aged and afflicted wife, one daughter and a number of
grandchildren to mourn their loss. I trust that former P.E.'s and
preachers who have known dear old Sister Grant will remember her in their
prayers.
David M. Grant, planter, Line, Ark. Mr. Grant has been identified with the agricultural affairs of Ashley County for many years, and stands foremost among the successful farmers of the county. He was born in Abbeville County, S. C., January 10, 1818, and is a son of John and Isabella (Paxton) Grant. Of Scotch descent, the Grant family came originally from the Old Dominion and settled in South Carolina, where they were among the pioneer families. John Grant was a very extensive planter and was quite wealthy. He reared a large family and only one besides our subject is now living, John Grant. The father died in 1820, and shortly afterward the mother moved to Georgia, where David M. was reared to manhood. He received a limited education, and as soon as large enough was initiated into the duties of the farm. This calling he has carried on ever since. He was an overseer for some time, and was married in 1840 to Miss Nancy A. Waits, who bore him six children, two living: Francis M. (residing in Ashley County), John Milton (who died during the war when about nineteen years of age), Elizabeth (wife of Samuel Wilkins, residing in Bishop Township), and Joseph Pinckney (who died since the war at the age of twenty-three years). Mr. Grant resided in Georgia until 1851 and then moved to Arkansas, buying land where he now lives - nearly 300 acres. He now has 800 acres of land, has 300 acres open land, and his house, stables and outbuildings indicate a progressive farmer. During the war he remained at home and worked the farm. He raises corn, cotton and wheat, and works part of his land on the shares. He is the largest tax-payer in this township. Grant Township was named in his honor.
