James Charles Grant (1789-1836)
James Charles Grant, Q.C., of Montreal
He was born in Quebec. His obituary stated: "As a friend, many can bear witness to his open-heartedness and generosity; as a politician, he was strictly consistent, and zealous in forwarding the interests of his party - as an advocate he was upright and unblemished - as a man and a citizen he was esteemed and respected. Mr Grant was a native of the province, had arrived nearly to the seniority of the Montreal Bar, and received from Lord Aylmer, a short time prior to his lordship's departure, his commission as a King's Council". He was 47-years old when he died and had been in partnership at Montreal with future Chief Justice Michael O'Sullivan (1784-1839).
