WFGA:

THE WILLIAM GRINSTEAD FAMILY IN AMERICA (Gorrell Shumaker and John L. N. Grinstead, April 1974):

pg 164: Lavina Grinstead (2-23-1803--4-15-1885) MARRIED (2-4-1826) William Grinstead (3-20-1802--9-3-1865), a cousin. Both were born in Virginia. They were married in Kentucky, consent of her father, Philip. (See Courthouse records).

BURIAL:

Barren County, Kentucky Cemetery Records compiled by Brice T. Leech and Kenneth Beard (1992) states on page 199 that Levina Grinstead and Lucy G. Grinstead are on the same stone as William Grinstead. That would establish a connection between Levinia and Lucy G. and would substantiate the claim that Levinia is the daughter of Phillip and Lucy G. Grinstead.

Levina Grinstead Dec 23, 1803 -- Apr 15, 1885 oss/William
Lucy G. Grinstead Feb 23, 1769 -- Sept 8, 1852 oss/William
William Grinstead Mar 20, 1802 -- Sept 3, 1865

However, the photographs at Find-a-Grave show one monument for Wm. Grinstead and Levinia Grinstead and a separate unreadable stone for Lucy.
