Googling "Henry Knox" led me to a collection of letters at the Library of Congress. The collection, in turn, is part of a larger collection of historical documents of different kinds. I thought some of you might be intersested. http://memory.loc.gov/ammem/ammemhome.html

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh!
Washington, April 20, 1866.
To the Senate of the United States:
I nominate Joel Grizzard to be surveyor of the customs for the port of Windsor, in the State of North Carolina, to fill a vacancy.
MONDAY, March 7, 1870.
By Mr. Clinton S. Cobb: A bill (H. R. 1420) removing the political disabilities of James M. Grizzard, of Halifax County, North Carolina, to the Committee on Reconstruction.
These guys have to be ancestors of mine!
