CIVIL WAR:
Two sons of John Parker Grinstead (Joel P., George T.), three sons of William Alexander Grinstead (Parker S., Elihu G., Thomas R.) and two sons of Mathew D. Grinstead (George, Wesley) were soldiers in the Union army. Joel P. and Wesley were in Company B of the 8th Infantry, and George T. was in Company E of the same regiment. Parker S. was in Company A of the 1st Cavalry, and Thomas R. was in Company C of the same regiment. Elihu G. was in the 8th Cavalry. George was in the 10th Cavalry.
MIDDLE NAME:
In public records Mathew's middle name does not appear. However, in the genealogical chart that appears in the notes under John Grinstead (1755 -- 1840) it is 'Donovan'.
DESCENDANTS OF MATHEW DONOVAN GRINSTEAD:
I have a copy of a typewritten document which contains specific information about Mathew Donovan Grinstead, his wife, and children. The typewriter badly needs adjustment. It was probably prepared about 1923 by A. W. Grinstead, a grandson of Mathew and the father of Katheryne. In an associated document on a different typewriter A. W. Grinstead describes his immediate family. See notes under John Grinstead (1756-1840). Information about Mathew Donovan Grinstead and his wife is on the left side of the page; information about their children is in a column on the right.
