Third Immigrant Generation
*******************************************************************************

 

24. Ann Nesbitt "Annie" Grieve . Daughter of George Grieve & Jane Nesbitt. Born 19 Sep 1856 in Harvey. Died 13 Feb 1945 in Vancouver, BC.

    Annie and her husband Alex Grant had thirteen children.   Early in the 1900's they moved to Vancouver.

    Ann is described by her granddaughter, Margaret Anne Foster, as a very petite lady, quiet, not very demonstrative but very definite in her ideas--such as the length a skirt should be.   She had broken her hip in later life so she was not especially active yet she had a strong faith.

    Their children:   Hugh, May, Sadie, Peg, Gertrude, Dod, Ella, Hiram, Bill, Frank, Ida, Al and Edward.

    She married Alexander William Grant, 27 Nov 1876 in Vicarage Of St. Andrew's Presbyterian Church, Victoria, BC B. Born 11 Aug 1852 in Pictou, NS. Died 26 Feb 1924 in Vancouver, BC.

    Alex's parents were Hugh and Annie K. Grant, who settled in Truro, NS.   Alex had come to Cumberland from Pictou, NS a few years before he met and married Annie.   Folklore tells us that Annie and Alex's first child, Hugh, was the first while child born in the Cumberland Valley.   Alex was a builder and it is said that he built the old church in Cumberland and also built Queen Mary School in Vancouver.   In August 1892, Alex ordered a Black & Decker upright piano from New York for his family.   It came by sailing vessel around Cape Horn and was delivered to the Grand household in August 1894.   The piano is still owned by a Grant descendant.    The Alex Grant family moved to Nanaimo some time before 1881.

    They had the following children:

  103   i.   James "Hugh" Allan Grant

  104   ii.   Roletta "May" Grant

  105   iii.   Sarah Ann "Sadie" Grant
