    Notes 
    • The name listed on his son, Jasper Newton Grinstead's death certificate is “Henry Edwards Grinstead”. This differs from some of the published Grinstead sources, which lists his name as “Edward Walton Grinstead”. The actual name on his marriage certificate from Washington County, Virginia is Edward “Grinsted”, Marriage Register A-C, page 166, Clerk’s Office of the Circuit Court of Washington County

      Edward Walton Grinstead married Catharine Donovan 20 Feb 1810 in Washington Co., Virginia.[1]

      Jane 17 FW Va
      Catharine 60 FW Va

      He is not in the Slave Schedule. The census suggests that the surname of Joseph through Catherine is Rouse. That is wrong. Nancy, Jane, and Catharine have the same surname, and it is Grinstead. It is not clear who Joseph is. John Rouse is probably the son of Henry Rouse of Smyth Co. In the 1850 census he is in the household of his father as 20, Va, miller, and thus appears twice in the census.

      In 1860 Catharine Grinstead (68, NC) is living in Washington Co., Virginia in the household of Stephen Thomas, her son-in-law.

      WHEN WAS EDWARD WALTON GRINSTEAD BORN?

      The only documentary indicator of his age is the 1850 census, which says that he is 63. That suggests that he was born in 1787, but his brother William was born 13 Nov 1787. They might have been twins, or Edward Walton may have been somewhat younger than indicated in the 1850 census, having been born in 1788 or 1789. Or he may have been older, having been born in 1786.
