The author Jasper Adolphe Grant may have been the son of Jasper Grant (1762-1812), a British military man who was for a time stationed in Canada where he collected native artefacts. The eldest son of Jasper Grant was also called Jasper (Ruth B. Phillips, Patterns of power, Kleinburg, Ont.: The McMichael Collection, 1984, p. 17). The Grant family correspondence is in the National Library of Ireland, MSS 10,177-10,178 (Phillips, op. cit., p. 20) and/or MS 31,820 (NLI online catalogue)
