Christopher Grant is my 8th great-grandfather through my grandfather, Thomas Richard Carter.
He was deposed on April 6, 1658 and gave his age as 48 years old so he was born in England about 1610. He dies in Watertown, Massachusetts in September 1685. He came to Watertown in 1634 and he worked as a glazier as noted by the fact that records show he reglazed the Watertown meetinghouse windows multiple times.
