Notes

The 1930 Census states that John GRIERSON entered the US in 1992, and it further places the date of John and Esther GRIERSON's marriage in 1927. It also tells us that daughter Marion was born in 1928, which tracks with theabove. However, it also lists daughter Catherine, b. 1916 in MA, and son John, b. 1919 in MA, neither of whom appears to have a MA birth record. Also, a woman who appears to be Esther is single in the 1920 Census. So something is amiss.
