American singer and actor best remembered for Bat Out of Hell, Bat Out of Hell II: Back Into Hell, and "I'd Do Anything for Love" You can read his obituary in the New York Times (including why he changed his name from Marvin to Michael and why he kept changing his date of birth) here Meat Loaf: Obituary

Joseph C. Grisham married Elizabeth "Eliza" Jane Harville on 13 Feb 1860. He went by the name Joe.

Joseph married Nancy in 1820 & moved to Smith Co.,TN in 1826. He owned 200 acres (source: Carthage,TN Court House). part of Smith Co.,TN was given to form Putnam Co.,TN in 1844 & installed his land in Putnam Co.,TN, even though he never moved. [*Some ancestors say Joseph or his parents came from Ireland through Overton Co.,TN to Smith Co.,TN.] I have a one page genealogy for Joseph G. Grisham that is stamped chart 6A with these names & addresses written in at the top: Mrs. Carol J. Byrom, 2109 Skyline Dr.,Fort Worth, TX 76114, Sue Hawkins, 635 McCrory Creek, Nashville,TN 37214, Mrs. Robert McKinney, 424 Mercury Ave;, Lompoc, GA 93436 - it is presumed that they are the researchers. This chart was given to me by my father Kenneth H. Grisham. I have found my great grandfather's brother's great granddaughter & she had the same chart in her family history notebook. We don't know when it was put together. The chart also listed Joseph's sister-in-law as Sarah (King) with a blank for Joseph's brother's name (they had Matlida born 1846 in TN, Mariah born 1824 in TN, & Nancy Pryor who married Henderson Petty & had Martha "Patsy" Emmaline b.1851,Sarah Elizabeth b. 1852, Hinship Henderson b.1854, James Pryor b.1856, Silas Balaam b. 1858, & John Tapley b. 1863) Chart 6A also has a blank for Joseph G. Grisham's parents' names with a note about Jackson County, 2806 & his father's name possibly could have been a Wim. Prior. It said there was a William Pryor Grisham on the Jackson Co., TN Poll Tax list in 1806. As far as I know, no Grisham family researcher has found out who Joseph G.'s father was. Carol Byrom wrote a book Grisham Any Way You Spell It that said all Grishams (Grisham, Grishom, Gresham, Grissom) Smith County, TN were related.
