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.

General Notes: Wife - Catharine Donovan

The death certificate of her son Jasper N. Grinstead says that she was born in Roan Co., North Carolina.
