- Family correspondence. Grant was the youngest son of the Rev. James Grant (1790-1853), minister of Nairn, and his wife Christina (d.1877). His brothers Alexander (1820-1860) and George (1825-55) were respectively an officer in the Madras Army and a merchant in Calcutta and Rangoon. His sister Margaret (1823-1913) married in 1845 the Rev. Peter Mackenzie (1818-1913), minister of Urquhart (Dingwall).
