| . Lived in Forrest County, Mississippi, Near the Bouie River. Believed to be buried near the Bouie River perhaps the Bryant Cemetery near LUX, MS, where a number of his family is buried.The Granberrys probably first met the Travises in Pitt County, NC, where Simeon Travis and his wife Mary Ann Stafford were residing temporarily. Both families moved on to Warren County, GA, and stayed there for a number of years, then moved across Indian territory (Alabama) to Mississippi Territory. They settled for a time in Amite County, Mississippi, then moved to Hinds County when it opened for settlement.The part of the Granberry Family that went to Mississippi were the children of Moses and Susannah and Elizabeth. All three sons of Moses and Susannah Dykes Granberry moved together into Hinds County, MS, and their descendants in that county and Copiah County are numerous. They settled on land that had been owned by the Collins Family before they moved on to Jasper County, then to Louisiana and Texas.
Several of the children of Moses Granberry and Elizabeth Dulaney went to Mississippi with the Travis parents from Georgia. Jonathan and his sister Martha Jane each married Travis children, and moved into Hinds County and settled where the town of Learned is now located. Within a few years, they moved to Forrest County, MS near the Bowie River. Simeon Travis and Mary Ann Stafford stayed there and are buried in an old cemetery on the banks of the Bowie. Jonathan Granberry and his wife stayed with them, and the Granberry descendants in that part of Mississippi are numerous. His sister Martha and husband Ezekiel Travis moved on to Jasper County when it was opened for settlement in 1833, and remained there the rest of their lives. Nancy Granberry,s affidavit for a pension based on his service in the War of 1812 shows his death date as 12-14-1867. All agree that he died near Lux, Mississippi. A memorial stone has been placed at the Jesse Bryant Cemetery near Lux for Jonathan & Nancy Granberry by their decendants. |
