Interesting and that you know. My family didn’t get here
until the late 1800s. English/Irish
The records of when William C. Grace arriving in America are unknown but in his obituary it states that “As a member of the 4th. United States Artillery he served in the capacity of hospital steward on the frontier in 1850’’
He was just 19 years old. The family record goes to say he
‘’served at Ft. Sill in the Oklahoma Territory’’.
