Joseph Grant (poet)
Joseph Grant (1805–1835) was a Scottish poet.
==Life==
Grant was born 26 May 1805 at his father's farm of Affrusk in Kincardineshire. As a child he was employed on the farm in the summer, and during the winter picked up what learning he could at a village school. When only fourteen he began to write verses. In 1831 he was engaged as assistant to a shopkeeper at Stonehaven, and afterwards was employed as a clerk at Dundee, first in the office of the ''Guardian'' newspaper, and then in that of a writer to the signet. He died 14 April 1835 at Affrusk.
There is a memorial to him in the graveyard at Strachan, Aberdeenshire 'Erected by his father and mother, Robert and Isabel Grant'. It is inscribed 'In memory of Joseph Grant, author of Tales of the Glens and other pieces in prose and verse, who died 14 April 1835 aged 30 years'.〔http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/nescotland/jervise.htm〕
