I have a little bit on this family: Andrew Jackson Graham was b. 29 Feb and d. 11 may 1935. He m. Sophia Jane McLendon in Laurens County. Georgia, daughter of Thomas Davis and Mariah McLendon. Sophia Jane was a large lady, about 5'11" tall. She and Andrew had eight children and are buried in the Braddy Family Cemetery, Montgomery County, Georgia. According to family lore and facts on her death certificate, she died in a fire. She was left in the home alone in the house while Andrew and one of their sons, possibly Charlie) went to work in the field. At some point they looked up and saw the house engulfed in flames. Before they could get back, it was too late. Sophia was last seen sitting by the fireside in her rocker.
