General Notes: Husband - Daniel Graham

---

It appears that during the days when the adherents of the Roman Catholic Church were in the ascendancy in Scotland, when great numbers of Scotch protestants were either killed outright or driven beyond the limits of their native heather, a family of the Graham clan found safety on the Isle of Lewis, which is the largest of a group lying off the west coast of Scotland.

He came to America in 1770, and at the conclusion of a voyage of thirteen weeks and three days' duration, made the city of Philadelphia his home. In that city he married and remained, until about the year 1783, when he moved to the neighborhood of Carlisle, Pennsylvania. About 1794, the family slowly wended their way westward over the Alleghany range, and located in the vicinity of Braddock's Field; but that proved to be only a halting place, however, for, in 1796, all again removed to the Connoquenessing settlement in Allegheny County, or the region now embraced by the townships of Connoquenessing in Butler County. [HBC 1883, 184x]

He was born on the Isle of Lewis, near the west coast of Scotland, grew to maturity in his native land, and immigrated to America in 1770. He served in the Revolution, was married, and settled in the vicinity of Carlisle, Pennsylvania, in 1783. In 1794 he removed to Allegheny County and located in the vicinity of Braddock's Field, lived there two years, and in 1796 he came to what is now Butler County, and located on a tract of 400 acres in Connoquenessing township. He resided there down to his death, in 1839, aged ninety years. [HBC 1895, 1185]

This was a very old and famous Scotch family, the name in its original form of Graeme having been one of the proudest during the troublesome history of the Middle Ages in that country.
The American family with which we are concerned here was founded in Pennsylvania by one Daniel Graham, who came from Scotland and settled in this state during the latter part of the eighteenth century. He became the possessor of a tract of eight hundred acres of land, which he purchased for twenty-five dollars per acre.
