Hi to all of you, I am glad to see all the great posts and that Karen and Shirley are communicating about their Sickles families. Den Graham is yet another of my McConnell descendants and I have copies of the birth return for him, the marriage certificates for his two marriages, including the first to Stella Quail, his WWI draft registration, and death certificates for Den and Stella. Den and Stella were married April 27, 1895, and the certificate does list Robert Quail and Lydia J. Sickles as her parents. John J Shay and Elizabeth Quail were witnesses. J. E. Appley Pastor of the M.E. Church performed the marriage in Port Morris. Coming at Dennis Graham as a McConnell descendant, I actually first thought that he was a Morgan, the son of his mother Mary McConnell and her husband William Morgan because I found him with them in the 1880 and 1900 censuses as a Morgan. So if anyone else out there has found him hard to find in the census, that is why. Dennis was born October 3, 1874 to Edward Albert Graham and Mary (McConnell) Graham. Edward was out of the picture by late 1876 when Mary was married to William Morgan. William died December 30, 1901 and Mary was also the wife of Frank Guinan. The relationships get rather complicated in this family! Kirsten On Wed, 21 Mar 2007 20:00:50 -0400, BestGeneaology wrote > I have Elizabeth married to William Shay. Stella married to Den > Graham.
