He served until the fall of Yorktown, or through the entire Revolutionary war.

He must, however, have been on furlough part of the time--as I believe most of the soldiers of that period were--for he married in Connecticut during the war, had two children, and was a widower at the close.

Soon after this he emigrated to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, and settled near the town of Greensburg in that county.
He took with him the younger of his two children, Peter Grant.

The elder, Solomon, remained with his relatives in Connecticut until old enough to do for himself, when he emigrated to the British West Indies.
Not long after his settlement in Pennsylvania, my grandfather, Captain Noah Grant, married a Miss Kelly, and in 1799 he emigrated again, this time to Ohio, and settled where the town of Deerfield now stands.

He had now five children, including Peter, a son by his first marriage.
