The prominent spelling of the surname was Gresham for the lineage while in Maryland. Thomas' father, THOMAS, SR, was a Gresham as were his Grand/Great-fathers JOHN III, JOHN Jr., JOHN Sr. and JOHN, Gent; Once Thomas, Sr. left Maryland for Tennessee, the spelling seems to be 40/60 Gresham/Grisham. Grisham is predominately used by his grandchildren and most all of his children.

Thomas Grisham married Rhoda Crouch in Tennessee. Research indicates they had 12-14 children. Around 1844, Thomas, Rhoda and children left Tennessee for Texas. Several of the older children had married or made the decision to stay in Tennessee.
