General Notes: Husband - William Graham
He settled at the mouth of Bear Creek, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, in 1795, coming from Washington County, and a few years later settled near the mouth of the Clarion River, then in Armstrong County, which was included in forming Clarion County in 1839.
He was born in Scotland. He emigrated to America and the first known record of him is dated 1794 when he took out a patent for a tract of land on Ten-Mile creek, Washington County, Pennsylvania, but he is known to have settled previous to that time on old Chartiers creek, in Washington County, where he built and operated a grist mill and followed his trade as a miller. A few years later he removed to the mouth of Bear creek in Armstrong County, where he built the first grist mill in that section and finally purchased a farm in Perry township, Clarion County, then a part of Armstrong County, below the mouth of the Clarion river and opposite the present town of Parker. It was later made a stopping place for steamboats on the Allegheny River and the property became known as Graham's Landing. He resided there until his death.
