Notes for AMELIA MDNNMUNKN:
Amelia may be the daughter of Tilman and Jane Turner or of Manuel and Mary Manlove, 1860 census.

Notes for MINNIE MUNCE:
Mitsawokett researchers have suggested that Minnie was the daughter of Benjamin Sammons and common-law wife Lydia A. Munce. There is no census listing which ties them together. She is not present with Lydia and her grandparents in 1860.
1860 not found with any possible set of parents

Mitsawokett researchers have suggested that Minnie first married Samuel Coward, though the age is off by 10 years:

Notes for JAMES GREENAGE:
With census ages in such coordination, could Josiah and James have been twins?

With his parents in 1850, he is probably the one working on the farm of Samuel Sutton in 1860.

7. JOHN3 GRINAGE (BENJAMIN2 GREENAGE, UNKNOWN1) (Source: Wayne Co. Records.) was born Sep 1842 in Kent Co., Delaware (Source: Wayne Co. Records.). He married (1) UNKNOWN MDNNMUNKN ca. 1860 (Source: Inference from birth of children.). He married (2) SARAH J. FARMER (Source: (1) 1850 census., (2) Romulus cemetery.) 09 Mar 1868 in Sumpter Twp., Wayne, Michigan (Source: Wayne Co. Records.), daughter of JOSEPH/JOSIAH FARMER and ELIZABETH MILLER. She was born Dec 1848 in Kent Co., Delaware (Source: 1850 census.), and died 1920 in Romulus, Wayne, Michigan (Source: Romulus cemetery.). He married (3) HESTER DRIGGET (Source: 1870 census. Maiden name from Judy Stewart (death certificate).) Bet. 1869 - 1870, daughter of WILLIAM DRIGGERS and CHARLOTA MDNNMUNKN. She was born Jun 1842 in Delaware (Source: 1900 census.), and died Unknown. He married (4) HELEN MDNNMUNKN (Source: 1910 census.) ca. 1901 (Source: 1910 census.). She was born ca. 1845 in England (Source: 1910 census.).

Notes for JOHN GRINAGE:
1850: living with parents.
1860: living with his uncle Josiah and Ann Miller in DE.

In 1900, just a couple of doors away from son Frank.
From the years married, Betsy must be the same as Hester, though the 1 child may indicate that she is not the same as the mother of John's first four children..
1910 OH Lucas Sylvania Village p5Bwr 20 Apr 1910 - all white
Grinage John 67 mar three times 9y this time bDE pbDE lives on own income owns house no mortgage, Helen wife 65 mar twice[?] 9y this time 5 children 4 living bEngland pbEngland, Miller Josephine 24 single bMI fbDE mbMI

From these listings, one presumes that dau Mary J. died (or married VERY young] prior to 1880. A two-pronged question arises: Are the older children John's natural children, and if so, are they all by Hester? Quite apparently, Frank is a son by Hester. But the others could be John's from a first marriage or Hester's from a prior marriage. Knowing that John married Sarah Farmer in MI in 1868 is the issue.

Compare:
1860 MI Monroe Bedford Twp. (Lambertville) no page number
Harriet Hoag 25 F W farming b. NY
Allice M.[?] 7 F W b. MI
John Pratt 18 M W b. MI laborer
John Grinnage 25 M W b. DE laborer
WHO IS THIS JOHN? He is too old to be John, son of Benjamin. Could he be John, son of Benjamin's brother John, nephew of Benjamin?

Notes for UNKNOWN MDNNMUNKN:
John had four children bDE before supposedly marrying Sarah Farmer in MI in 1868, presumably by a first wife. Then, John appears in OH with wife Hester in 1870. It is very possible that the marriage to Sarah was quickly annulled. It is also possible that these children were by Hester, that they separated in the mid-1860s, and that the 1868 marriage was annulled due to John still being legally married, after which he returned to Hester. There simply aren't enough facts available to know what happened.

Notes for SARAH J. FARMER:
See father's listings for 1850-1870 census listings. Nore that Sarah was at home and single apparently called Farmer in 1870, between the two husbands, despite marriage to John Grinage in 1868.

1900 - Michigan, Wayne Co., Nankin Twp., ED 194, Sheet 26B, June 21 1900

Marriage Notes for JOHN GRINAGE and SARAH FARMER:
Wayne Co. marriage record book G, p49, entry 721
09 Mar 1868. at Sumpter
John Grinage - Sarah Farmer - W[hite], of Canton - Canton, ages 25 - 19, b. DE Kent - DE Kent, occupation Farmer
Martin Chrysler - Justice of the Peace, witnesses John H. Miller, Sumpter - Thomas Sherman, Sumpter
Recorded 29 Sep 1868 [JR]

If this is the right John Grinage, the marriage must have ended very quickly, for Sarah was back with her parents in 1870, and John was having children with Hester in DE in 1861.
