Have seen that previously, but can’t recall if I used the image so will do so for Mon...tx

Also, just found this:

“Born in 1811, Grigsby went to school in Indiana with Abraham Lincoln, whom he considered a dear friend, before Lincoln moved to Illinois.

It’s said he visited the White House, and he even wrote Lincoln in 1860 and received an appointment as Republican Precinct Committeeman. He placed Lincoln’s name on the 1860 ballot.

Dick said he stayed in contact with Lincoln. The family donated letters written to Grigsby by Lincoln to Lincoln’s boyhood home museum in Indiana.

“He invited him to his inauguration, and Lincoln gave him a cane,” she said, adding, “Lincoln warned him not to get into trouble over politics.”

According to his tombstone, his brother, Aaron Grigsby, married Lincoln’s oldest sister, Sarah. She died in childbirth.

Eventually, Grigsby and several of his sons enlisted in the Civil War, fighting in Company G of the 10th Indian Cavalry, and Grigsby earned the rank of second lieutenant.

He moved to Harper County in 1885, records show.”
