| John and Philip Grimshaw Were Brothers of William Grimshaw of Ironton, Ohio |
William C. Grimshaw was born in Great Britain (Isle of Man) and apparently married Phoebe Cain, who was born in Greenup, Kentucky, after immigrating to the U.S. William and Phoebe, who are the subject of a companion webpage, arrived in Lawrence Co., Ohio in about 1847. They apparently had five children - Jennie, William Henry, Ann G. Noble B., and John E. Grimshaw. William Henry, Nobel and John subsequently moved to Illinois. William and Phoebe are apparently buried in Woodland Cemetery, Upper Township, Lawrence Co.
| Naturalization Record of Philip Grimshaw |
From companion webpage...
- Phillip Grimsha, 1831, New York
Myers, Mrs. Lester F., 1968
The record for Phillip is quite sparse (Myers, 1968, p. 21):
GRIMSHA, Phillip

I -- N
21
Phillip was apparently a New York resident who was also an immigrant, as indicated by the fact that he was recorded in the "I—N" (Immigration Naturalization) pages that were indexed by the reference. Additional research would be required to obtain more detail on his immigration to the U.S. A dual page-numbering system (indicated by the numbers 128 and 21) is used in the index. The entry in the original reference is as follows:
GRIMSHA. Phillip, a native of the Isle of Man, Great Britain, declared his intention of becoming a citizen on June 10, 1831 in Court of Common Pleas, at Oswego, N.Y. He was a resident of Scriba. He took the Oath of Allegiance in Cayuga Co., Oct. 27, 1841. Witnesses, G.W. Foster and Ams Underwood declared that he had complied with the 5 year and 1 year residence requirements.
| Candidate Family of Origin for John, Philip and William Grimshaw in The Isle of Man |
It appears that William was the youngest child of Thomas and Catherine (Cowley) Grimshaw, who raised a large family on The Isle of Man. William would have been born about the time (1806) indicated for the christening in the descendant chart below, from the LDS Family Search website:
