Excerpt from Boys Life of General Grant
Ulysses S. Grant was an American of the eighth generation from Mathew Grant and his wife, Priscilla, who came from Dorchester, England, in May, 1630, and settled in Massachusetts. Nearly all of the one hundred and forty passengers on the ship Mary and John, which brought Mathew Grant to America, were from Devon, Somerset, and Dorchester; and they came with the intention of remaining permanently in America.
The Mary and John had a rough voyage of ten weeks across the Atlantic. The captain had agreed to land the passengers at Boston; but instead of that he landed them nine miles from that city. They brought suit, and recovered damages for the violation of his agreement.
