The part you left out of William's will from your e-mail was "to My Daughter Sarah Graham I give twenty five Dollars". But we're not quite sure who Sarah is! Others mentioned in the will for sure are "daughter Charity Allin Davis", the heirs of "Lidda Elmore", son Edward Graham, son William Graham, son George Graham, son John Graham, son Peter Graham, "Polly Elmores heirs", and grandson Herrington Graham. I have been in contact with another family researcher who has as an ancestor son Berryman Graham who predeceased William Senior. This Berryman was born ca 1780 and was married to a Margaret Corum (their son was John, not Herrington). There are deeds in the Caswell County books showing William Graham conveying the land of Berryman Graham deceased, on Hogan's Creek. This Margaret Corum Graham is referred to as Peggy in later guardianship accounts. Therefore, Berryman's wife is not Sarah. I have not come across another son who would be unaccounted for, so I must assume that this Sarah Graham mentioned in the will is an unmarried daughter. In Deed Bk. P page 27 Sarah Graeham of Caswell County sells 63 acres on Hogan's Creek to a Henry Duham - date 25 Sept 1804. This property adjoins Samuel Bracken and William Graham. Family researchers believe William Senior's wife to be Rachel (possibly Rachel Pope). She is mentioned in a deed from Caswell County bk. A page 37 when William Graham sells 215 acres on the norht side of Hogan's Creek to Conrod Strader - date 29 Nov. 1777. I would like to hear from any other family researchers, on their theories regarding Sarah, other children of William Snr. and grandson Herrington.
