General Notes: Husband - John Graham


He was educated at the Philadelphia academy under Drs. Wylie and Gray, and studied theology at the seminary in New York. In the spring of 1819 he was licensed by the Monongahela Presbytery, and on the 30th of August, 1820, was ordained by the same body. He was pastor of Cross Roads and Washington, Washington County, Pennsylvania, from August 30, 1820, to October 8, 1829, during a portion of which period, from 1823 to 1828, he filled the position of professor of languages in Washington college. From 1830 to 1834 he was the stated minister of the congregations of Sycamore and Hopkinsville, Warren County, Ohio; of Greenfield and Fall Creek, Ohio, from 1834 to 1839. From 1839 to 1840 he was principal of the academy at Chilicothe, Ohio, which position he resigned to accept a call to the churches of West Union and West Fork, Adams County, Ohio, in 1841, in which field he ministered until his death. Columbia college conferred upon him the degree of doctor of divinity. He was an able teacher and a faithful and conscientious minister of the gospel. A sermon by him, published in the second volume of the "Pulpit of the Associate Reformed Church," shows his deep theological learning.
