Moses Grandy (  1786 - unknown), was an African-American author, abolitionist, and, for more than the first four decades of his life, an enslaved person.
 At eight years of age he became the property of his playmate, James Grandy and two years later he was hired out for work.
 The monies Moses earned were collected and held until James Grandy turned 21.
 Grandy helped build the Great Dismal Swamp Canal and learned how to navigate boats.
 It was that skill that led him to be made commander of several boats that traveled the canal and Pasquotank River, transporting merchandise from Elizabeth City, North Carolina to Norfolk, Virginia.
 The position allowed him to be better fed, shod and dressed.
 Able to keep a portion of his earnings, Grandy arranged to buy his freedom twice and twice his owners kept the money and held him in slavery.
 An arrangement was made for an honorable man to buy him and Grandy earned the money to buy his freedom a third time, this time successfully.
