  1. The slave registers for River Antoine show an attorney (George Gun Munro and then Lewis Hoyes) making the registration on behalf of Charles Grant proprietor in 1821 and 1822. By 1825, George Gun Munro registers on behalf of the representatives of Charles Grant deceased.  

  2. The will of Henrietta Grant spinster of Clifton was proved 11/01/1841. The will [a detailed trust will made in 1832] identifies Catherine Anderson and Anne Grant as her sisters, and bequeathed property in Grenada for life to Anne Grant and then - subject to several monetary legacies to family and friends, members of a Scottish military network (including her brother-in-law Major General James George Scott, an East India Co. man) - to Catherine Anderson. In a codicil of 1836 she varied her will to leave £5000 to a niece, Mary Anderson. Lt-Col. James George Scott of the Madras artillery had married Caroline Isabella Grant, daughter of the late Andrew Grant, at Dawlish in 1813.
