| This information has been assembled from old Bibles, U. S. Census records for | |||||||||
| the years 1850, 1860, 1870 and 1880, as well as visits to cemeteries, personal | |||||||||
| interviews and many letters, both written and received by Jessie Graham and | |||||||||
| Erdie Miller Graham, wife of Rudd Graham. We express our gratitude to all who | |||||||||
| have helped us. There have been many. | |||||||||
| I, Jessie Graham wish to express my appreciation sincerely to Mrs. Edrie Miller | |||||||||

| ******************* | |||||||||
| John Graham was born 3-28-1802 in the state of Kentucky. Recalling statements made | |||||||||
| by past generations, we have reason to believe he married Nancy Jennings, who was | |||||||||
| born on 6-20-1803. They were married on 10-25-1824. Nancy is the daughter of | |||||||||
| Hatsell Jennings of Nelson County, Kentucky. John died on 3-19-1871 and Nancy | |||||||||
| died on 8-19-1880 in Fulton County, Kentucky. They are buried in the Liberty Baptist | |||||||||
| Cemetery, on the Middle Road, seven miles west of Fulton on the Old Cross Road. | |||||||||
| The 1880 census showed that Nancy was living at the home of her son Andrew J. (Jack) | |||||||||
| Graham. She met her death accidently by being thrown from her horse, believed | |||||||||
| to be in the year 1880, age 77. | |||||||||
| The 1860 census showed they owned 1100 acres of land valued at $5,600.00, five | |||||||||
| slaves valued at $2,500.00, plus crops of wheat, corn, tobacco and produce. | |||||||||
| Reports have it that they deeded each of their six children a large tract of land. | |||||||||
| It is our belief that John Graham came from eastern Kentucky with two brothers, | |||||||||
| Andrew and James Graham. As in the years 1835 through 1843 the tax rolls showed | |||||||||
| these three Graham's owning land in both Fulton and Hickman counties in Kentucky. | |||||||||
| Having believed that they had been born in Virginia we were surprised to find all | |||||||||
| records, revealed Kentucky as their place of birth. | |||||||||
| No doubt our ancestors were in the Migration Movement that came to Kentucky as | |||||||||
| Frontiersmen with axes and saws and made clearance for us who seek to know. | |||||||||
| Just who were the parents of John Graham and Nancy Jennings will require the | |||||||||
| reading of many books and digging through old files long covered with dust. We | |||||||||
| are willing to leave that to the younger generation who may have fresh ideas with | |||||||||
| their college training as to how the Old Family Trail in Kentucky began and where | |||||||||
| it started. Beyond that we know it reaches across the sea. For the present our | |||||||||
| records start with a certain John Graham of the 1800's. Not too long ago when | |||||||||
| you stop to think, especially those of us who stepped back into this century to | |||||||||
| find these records. Some of them seemed very near and very close. | |||||||||
