Surnames: graham Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/4gC.2ACE/994 Message Board Post: My gggggrandfather was James Graham, shown in the 1850 Clarke County, Mississippi, census. He was born in 1814 in Alabama according to that census. Though I know very little about him, his grandaughter Columbia Graham who was my gggrandmother was said, by family tradition, to be Native American or mostly Native American, a tradition of which my family is very proud. However, we have never been able to substantiate the tradition. Can anyone suggest a way for me to try to verify this? Does anyone have James Graham on a list for their family or anything? I have a significant amount of information on Columbia Graham's descendants should anyone be interested and I would be more than happy to share it.
