So far we have not found where Francis Grinter lived in Logan County or Butler County. We are attempting to find the location through deed research. Francis Grinter was involved in a suit filed on 3 June 1833 in Logan County over the ownership of land. (Logan County Genealogical Society, Abstracts of Wills & Settlements Logan County, Kentucky, 1795-1838. Russellville, Logan County, no date Settlement on 7 January 1815. (Ibid., p. 27) On 2 April 1819, Francis Grinter was a witness in an Indenture case. (Ibid., p. 144) Francis was called "Frank." It is said in family notes that he may have lived on the Delaware Reservation in present Wyandotte County, Kansas from 1845 until 1856, after which he remained in Kentucky the rest of his life, but we have found no evidence of that. He is in the 1850 US Census in Russellville, Logan County, Kentucky. He was also in the 1870 census there.
