Hi all Only one question-are Graham and Grayum the same family? My earliest notes on them spell it Grayum. Ginny

I've tried, and failed to find a relationship with those Grahams and the Joseph Graham in Gallia/Meigs. And I've not found a relationship to Grayums which appear in both places, as well as other nearby locations. If I were you, I'd treat them as separate families, but if you discover a connection, please yell and holler. I haven't seen any connections, but I miss things sometimes. <g> -- Marty Cassidy Seattle, WA USA

I also am looking for that connection of the other GRAHAMs and Joseph GRAHAM in Meigs County. I was told that brothers came to Ohio, one settled in Gallia and one in Meigs. I can't find the information now to give you a source for that. But I was also told there is connection to the name Grimes. I know this isn't giving you any help, but maybe a clue. On the 1820 census David GRAHAM had a son under 5 years old. Who was that son? Either I have missed something or that son could have been Joseph, they both lived in Columbia twp. Meigs County. I know the rest of my GRAHAM family lived close and was friendly with the other GRAHAMs in the area. Joseph owned land, listed as JJ GRAHAM. What does the other J stand for? I keep thinking that maybe other records for him is under another name and not under Joseph. I can't get to Pomeroy Court house, but hope to someday. I would like to follow the property deeds to see who got Josephs land after his death. Maybe his children, but just maybe not, then there would be another clue. I know others have traced the GRAHAM family, has anyone already done this? Has anyone looked at the wills? Does he show up anywhere besides the census? What about church records? You can see that I really need to be talking to someone that has already done some of this research. If anyone is interested in talking this through with me, I sure would like to hear from you.
