Note

[Harold Grinstead Family.FTW]

Benjamin moved to Washington Co. Virginia with his father and married there in 1820. He worked most of his life as a miller at Love's Mill located at Love Mill, Virginia. The mill still exists in 1997and still operates by water from the Holstin River. He served in the Confererate Army in the VA 48th inf Co. D as recorded in "The Roster of Confederate Soldiers, 1861- 1865" Broadfoot Pub. Co., Wilington N.C., 1996, edited by Janet B. Henlett, Gen 973.742, volume 7.

The family bible states that he died in Charleston, WV, but records indicating this could not be found.

Shared note

The families of Andrew Cunningham Grinstead and his younger sister Margaret Ann Grinstead apparently moved from Virginia to Corn Hill Texas around the same time, in 1878 or the first part of 1879, based on where the children were born.
