The earliest mention of the GRANGER surname Granger in England is in the Roll of Battle Abbey, 1066. The word Grange is of French origin and was applied in England to the farm house or homestead, and the bailiff who presided over a farm was called Ate Grange, and after- wards, Granger. There are several crests known to have been borne by the Granger family, the most common being a dexter arm couped and embowed, in hand three wheat ears all proper. The Grangers of Staffordshire bore : A griffin passant ; and the Essex family bore : a dexter arm bearing a portcullis.

(I) Launcelot Granger, immigrant ancestor, came from England to New England, was a resident of Ipswich, Massachusetts, in 1648. There is a tradition concerning him which ap- pears in several different branches of the fam- ily thus giving the story some measure of prob- ability. The story is as follows: "Launcelot Granger was born in the west of England, and. when a lad of twelve or fourteen years of age. he was stolen from his mother (his father be- ing dead), and brought to Plymouth in Massa- chusetts, where he was sold (apprenticed) to serve two years for his passage. He had served on ship as a cabin boy. He afterward married a lady named Adams, and settled east of Bos- ton, where he lived until two children had been born. Being the eldest of his family, he re- turned to England to obtain his inheritance.

On the way from the place where he landed to his mother's house, to which he travelled on foot, he had to pass through an uninhabited country, and, just before night, stopped at a little cottage. The old man of the house told him that frequent robberies had been com- mitted on the road a short distance ahead, and advised him to put up for the night. But, not knowing but what he would be in as much dan- ger at the cottage as on the road, and being in haste, he determined to proceed. After he had advanced some distance into the woods he perceived by the light of the moon a man step into the road before him and move on slowly until a second one joined him. When he came up to them they demanded his money. He told them he had but one crown, which was barely sufficient to pay his expenses to his friends, who lived at some distance. They, however, told him he must give up his money or they would take his life. He replied that if they got his money they must fight for it, on which they attacked him with their swords, while he defended himself with his quarter staff. With the butt end of this he knocked down one and dispatched him, and the other ran away. When he arrived at the next vil- lage he made oath before a magistrate to what he had done, and was suffered to proceed on his journey. The inhabitants of the village found the man who was slain to be one of their "honest" citizens.

"When he arrived at his mother's house he found his younger brother in possession of the estate, and very much displeased to see him, and, it is supposed, hired assassins to dis- patch him. He walked out with them under the pretence of viewing the farm, and when behind a piece of woods, they attacked him with their swords, but he defended himself so manfully with his quarter staff that he killed two of them and the other fled. He returned and made known what he had done to the magistrates, who upon investigation, acquitted him of all blame. Meeting, however, with dif- ficulties in obtaining his inheritance, he aband- oned it and returned to America. Launcelot was a man of great resolution, was of full me- dium height and stockily built."

Launcelot Granger removed from Ipswich to Newbury at the time of his marriage in 1654 and leased the farm of Stephen Kent on Kent's Island. The site of his house there may still be seen. The house was torn down in 1884. About 1674 he removed to Suffield, Connecticut, and on September 14 of that year received a grant of sixty acres, and forty

acres each for his two sons. He did not set- tle there permanently, however, until after the Indian hostilities were over, and in 1678 he was living on High street. During King Philip's war he lived at the stockade in West- field. Rev. Mr. Taylor in a narrative re- garding the Indian fight at Westfield, October 27, 1675, says that a Mr. Granger was seri- ously wounded in the leg. There is scarcely any doubt that it was Launcelot Granger, as the circumstance is well authenticated by the family. He lived in Suffield until his death in 1689. A large maple tree which was planted by him still stands in front of the site of his house, and is known at the present time as the Launcelot Granger Tree. He was a prominent man in the town and served as land measurer for several terms. He died September 3, 1689, and was buried in the graveyard which was opposite the meeting house on High street. He married, January 4, 1653-54, Jo- anna Adams, born in England in 1634, died after 1701 at Suffield, daughter of Robert and Eleanor Adams. Children, born at Newbury : I.

POTTER George Potter, immigrant an- cestor of this family, and sev- eral others of the same sur- name, settled early in Rhode Island. He was born in England. He died soon after 1639, it is supposed, as no further record of him has been found. His widow married Nicholas Niles. Potter was admitted an inhabitant of the island of Aquidneck in 1638. He and twenty-eight others signed the following com- pact, dated April 30, 1639: "We whose names are underwritten do acknowledge our- selves the legal subjects of his Majesty King Charles, and in his name do hereby bind our- selves into a civil body politicke, unto his laws according to matters of Justice." Nathaniel Potter, probably his brother, signed the same compact.

(II) Abel, the only known child of George Potter, was doubtless born in England about 1638. His father-in-law (stepfather) Nicho- las Niles bound him out to William Baulstone for the term of eighteen years. (He may have been three years old at the time, but probably older for the boy "gave his consent" so his apprenticeship extended until after he came of age). The town approved the con- tract "for the better security of Mr. Baul- stone." He and Nathaniel Potter confirmed, September 5, 1664, a deed of eight acres that had once been in their fathers' possession, said deed having been made by Samuel Wil- bur to John Tripp, shaft carpenter, 1663, May 7. By "fathers' possession" the respective fathers of each is meant. Nathaniel was son of Nathaniel. Abel Potter bought land of John Read for thirty-six pounds a right in Mashantatack at Dartmouth, Massachusetts, May 3, 1667. He and his wife Rachel of Mashantatack sold sixty acres, and common- ing near Pawtucket Falls to Joseph Jenckes,

said land formerly belonging to her grand- father, Ezekiel Holliman, the deed being dated at Providence, October 10, 1671. He was admitted a freeman May 1, 1677. He sold land October 6, 1682, to Roger Bur- lingame for two pounds.

His will was dated January 14, 1692, and proved March 9, following. His wife Rachel was executrix. He bequeathed to son George sixty acres "where he had made preparation for building", and various other property, he paying his sister Mary five pounds. He di- rected his wife to divide the remainder of the estate among the children, excepting George and Stephen. The latter was be- queathed at the death of the wife all the homestead, paying to his sister Mary five pounds and the sons Abel and Benjamin were to pay Mary five pounds with- in two years after they are of age. The will of the widow Rachel was dated November 23, 1724, her sons Ichabod and Job executors. She bequeathed to sons Abel, Benjamin, Stephen and John; to daughter Mary. Ichabod and Job had the lands at Mashantatack.
