I have recently been able to determine with reasonable certainty that Daniel Grant, a loyalist originally from Golspie, Sutherland, Scotland who settled in Penobscot County (now Maine), is my 4th great-grandfather. At the end of the Revolutionary War he resettled with other loyalists in St. Andrews, Charlotte, New Brunswick. The area is also known as Passamaquody. I don't have actual birth records to prove that he is the father of my 3rd great-grandfather Peter Grant, but many factors that I won't go into here fit neatly and there is some DNA linking me to several of his other children. The sources and information I have been able to collect on him are attached to his profile on FamilySearch, where he is Daniel Grant GY7W-4TG.
I would love to hear from anyone else who might be researching this family, or who has had success in locating records for Charlotte County in the 1780's to 1810's. I have a digital copy of the Register for AllSaints Church in St. Andrews which is a difficult read but which contains references to at least half a dozen of Daniel's other children. Nothing for Peter Grant unfortunately.
