Hi Karen, William and Prudence Graham lived in Indiana Co. (Armstrong Twp.) ,near Elderton, before moving to Armstrong Co. The names of Prudence & James Getty's children were: James, Andrew and Catherine Getty. (The paper regarding guardianship for the children is on file at the Indiana Co. Court House. I spent a day there and found a ton of stuff on the Grahams. It was pretty overwhelming and I didn't have the time to go through to find what applied to my particular Grahams. I don't live far from Indiana, PA but work during the day and can't get up to the courthouse when they are open.) My GGrandfather, George Washington Grubbs was born to Jane Graham (daughter of Prudence and William Graham) in 1845. He was born in Elderton. The father was thought to be a Jacob Grubbs but I've never found any trace or mention of him. Have you ever heard of a Grubb(s) tied in anywhere? It would be interesting to see if and how our ancestors connect. Please stay in touch. Thanks!

(Whitesburg area) in the early to mid 1800s? The names of the Grahams I have are: Irwin, Andrew, John, James and William. There may have also been a sister, Catherine who married a Ewing and then a McKee. William Graham was married to Prudence Green Getty, former wife of a James Getty who died in 1829. Three children from Prudence's marriage with Getty were sent to live with families named McKee and Henderson. The Grahams may have connections with Andersons, Pattersons, McKees, Hendersons and possibly other Plumcreek families that I have not discovered yet. I'm at a dead-end and am in dire need of hints, clues, possibilites and any/all available information. Thanks in advance, Sue >> Sue, all the names you mention are also among my Indiana County ancestors, The Montgomery's The thing that I wonder about is the name Getty. Jehu Montgomery had two wives and 17 children between the two. one is my ancestor Samuel Gettys Buryhill Montgomery. born 1851. the census states he went by the name Gettys Montgomery. Do you know the names of the three orhaned children of Prudence Green Getty and James Getty? I am sure that these families all must have had associations with each other. I will keep you in mind if I get to go over the census and other records as I plan to soon do. Good luck and let me know if you run into any Montgomery -Spencer or Pierce names in your searchings.
