General Notes: Husband - Robert Graham


He accompanied his parents to Venango County, PA, in 1802. For a time he lived in Victory Township, at the mouth of Sandy creek, but before 1830 he removed to the farm where the Graham graveyard was located, making the first improvements on that property, where he continued to reside until his death. He was one of the founders of the East Grove M. E. Church, and took an active part in its work. Politically he became a Republican. [CAB, 750]
