MATTHEW Grant, the emigrant ancestor, was one of the original company who came, in 1630, to Dorchester, Mass., in the Mary and John, with Maverick and Warham. He was admitted a freeman 18 May, 1631, and continued in Dorchester till the removal of the company which settled Windsor, of which he was a prominent member. His name appears on the Dorchester records as late as Nov. 2, 1635, and though he was without doubt, among those who went, in 1635 to prepare their new homes at Matinauck, now Windsor, it is not likely that his wife and children left Dorchester before April 18, 1636. He was the second town clerk in Windsor, also the first and for many years the principal surveyor; was a prominent man in the church; evidently was just and exceedingly conscientious in all his public and private transactions and duties, and as recorder, he often added notes explanatory, or in correction, to the records which have considerable value to the investigator of the present day--Stiles. He was compiler of the "Old Church Records" so often quoted by Dr. Stiles in the History of Windsor, "which in the absence of some of the earliest records of the town of Windsor (1635-50), assume a value which can scarcely be over-estimated; in short he was a pious, hard-working, conscientious Christian man, and a model town clerk. He was born Oct. 27, 1601; married Nov. 16, 1625, Priscilla (???), she died April 27, 1644, aged 43 years and two months, he married (second, May 29, 1645, Susanna, daughter of Bernard Chapin and widow of William Rockwell, she died Nov. 14, 1661.

In a 1643 exchange of land between Christopher Gibson and Nicholas Upsall, one of the parcels transferred to Upsall was "that great lot that was granted Mathew Grant" [DTR 52]. At Windsor, upon being given the responsibility of keeping the town land records, he discovered that the page containing his grants had been "rent out and lost by the former register" and on 11 January 1659[/60?] he set about relisting his holdings "adding some more expressions then is to be seen in the country book, yet not to vary from the true quality and quantity": a home lot of six acres "but in time of danger by the Pequet War neighbors desired to join nearer together so as to be capable to make some fortification then he resigned up his home lot for to be divided into small parcels to build upon only reserved a parcel for himself where he had begun building," leaving him one acre. He also was granted three acres swamp or meadow adjoining to the homelot; five acres in the Great Meadow; on the east side of the Great River twenty-three rods in breadth by three miles in length; twenty-three acres for a woodlot in the Norwest Field; and fifty acres of land [WiLR 1:13].
