John Berkley Grimball (1800-1892) was a prominent planter with plantations near Charleston. His papers are housed at Duke University. His son, John Grimball (1840-1922) was a well-known Confederate naval officer about whom I wrote a series in Kelleher’s Stamp Collectors Quarterly (see Articles page).
