The Ellen G. White Letters and Manuscripts: Volume 1

GRANT, Harrison (1821-1901) and Chloe S. (1821-1904)

Later to become president of the Minnesota Conference, Harrison Grant had converted to Millerite Adventism in his youth after hearing a series of lectures by William Miller in Vermont. In 1844 he married Chloe S. Pierson, and both became Sabbathkeepers about 1858. In 1861 or 1862 they moved from Vermont to Minnesota, where they spent the next 30 years. From 1863, when the Minnesota Conference was first organized, Grant served on the executive committee, and from 1870 to 1883 as conference president. Ellen White's only mention of Harrison Grant is in her account of a visit to Roxbury, Vermont, in 1859, when the Whites received hospitality at his home. 1EGWLM 835.2
