| Thomas Stanley Granger Volunteer Enlistment and Recruit Statement, August 1862
Thomas S. Granger must have looked young at the time, because they made him get his mothers signature to validate his age. Actually early in the war (1861) there was a huge problem with underage kids signing up. If the parents caught the unit before it left the local courts jurisdiction a writ of habeus corpus could be issued. This would tie up the regimental commander, the company commander, and the recruiting officers up in court. At this point in the war recruiters made sure the paper work was correct.

 | George F Granger Home
House was owned by George F. Granger, Sr., 49 North Maple Avenue, Park Ridge, NJ. The original house had a screen porch that wrapped the front and left side. The driveway and garage were separate from the house, in the back. The home was where Jim and Joan Turse lived as children with their parents and grandparents. The Turse family slept in the attic, and the Grangers had an apartment on the second floor. There was only one bathroom - located between the second floor and the attic stairs (note shade in corner window). No one had much privacy! The car shown parked in the gravel drive is parked approximately in the location of the original water well on the property. The Yeo family lived nearby in the house to the left rear, with the columned porch. |

145 Carll Street Illustration -- Drawn as a period image from a 1930s photograph that was taken just prior to the street's demolition. The second house from the right is where Early and Mary lived in 1850.

 | Early and Mary Granger house on Navy Street, Brooklyn, NY
Early & Mary Granger House - Navy Street photograph taken in 1927 -- No way to confirm absolutely (as with the Carll street house, where we are certain of the exact location), but it is very likely that one of these small dwellings was Early and Mary's residence in 1853. – Contributed by Russell Granger, Nov 2008 |
