Grisham Family History
There are at least two lines of Grisham families that immigrated to America. One is John Grisham of Ireland and the other John Grisham who immigrated from England in 1600's and settled in Arundel County, Maryland. At some point Grisham changed to Gresham in some lines. Unfortunate, we do not have documentation to link us to either of these lines.
