My My great great grandmother was Cady Grainger (May 24,1825 to aprx 1900)who married Alfred Graham. Caty's dad was Goldsberry Benjamin Grainger (dob 1-15-1797 dod 1865) and her mom was Sarah Gerrald. Goldsberry father was John Grainger (1760-1826) and mother was Charity Buffkin.John's father was Caleb Grainger (1725 -?) mother was Mary Ann Watters also born in 1725. Caleb 's father was Joshua Grainger (1702-1745 apprx) and mother was Elizabeth Toomer. FYI Caleb and his son John served in the first NC Senate when NC pulled away from England with the rest of America at that time. I am trying to find Joshua's ancestors and where they are from.
