David A. Grantham
1841-1914

David Albert Grantham was the 23rd sheriff of Wayne County from 1878 to 1886. 
He was sheriff at the time of the last hanging in Wayne County. Noah Cherry 
and two others had killed a white couple, Mr. and Mrs. Worley in the Neuse 
Islands. David Albert was commended for his handling of the case which might 
have otherwise resulted in a lynching. Many of his descendants live in Wayne 
County.
