General Notes: Husband - William Graham


Of Scotch-Irish extraction, he came to the Juniata valley in Pennsylvania, settling in Milford township, Cumberland County, (later Spruce Hill township, Juniata County), where he took up a large tract of land. He erected a log house and barn, and cleared a considerable portion of his extensive farm. He was one of the first settlers of the Tuscarora valley, having for years wolves, bears and other wild animals as almost daily visitors.
He was a devout member of the Presbyterian church.
