    2. My Grahams were early pioneers of Iowa, settling some time in the 1830's from Ireland. They lived in Plymouth, Van Buren Co., up-river from Farmington....... Mr. and Mrs. Graham and five sons. One son, John Graham (pronounced Grayham) married Elizabeth Langley on Oct. 29, 1840 in Union Co., Ark., where I think he went to work at the mill there. After their marriage, they went back to Plymouth, Iowa. They had five children: William, Bolen, Lucinda, Jasper Newton and John Wesley Graham. John died of pneumonia, while building a mill on the river, in July or Aug. 1850. Mr. and Mrs. Graham died there, as did the first three children, as infants. Elizabeth and sons returned to Union/Ouachita Co., Ark. The four brothers of John left Iowa; Jasper married and raised a large family in Ouachita Co., Ark. and John Wesley raised a large family in Bienville Parish, LA. Who were Mr. and Mrs. Graham? Their sons? Where were they buried? How can I obtain John's death certificate? Where did the four brothers settle? Any descendents? There are so many questions!!
