My Grant ancestors came from Scotland to Nova Scotia, Canada.

James Proctor, son of Loyalist John Proctor

Their daughter,
Ann Proctor married William Maskill (Maskell) at Arichat, Isle Madame, Cape Breton, NS, Canada.
The family removed to Lot #45 (Souris), Prince Edward Island, between 1861 and 1881. Following William's death in 1890, Ann (Proctor) Maskell emigrated to Boston, MA to live with the children who had previously left PEI to settle in Massachusetts.
William and Ann are my great-great-grandparents, so the Grant lineage are my 3g-grandparents and back. I would love to hear from anyone else researching this line.
