Wm. T. Graham purchased 120 acres from the Laurens Co. Sheriff in 1877 (Deed Book V, page 567). This was land of Joseph B. Wardell. It bordered John T. Duncan and O.H.P. Faut. According to Deed Book V, page 570, 1879, Wm. T. Graham of Union Co. and wife Mary Graham sold the above land to Reuben R. Rawls of Union Co. These are the only land records that I have in my notes for any Grahams. According to my interpretation of the 1850 census data, James Martindale lived somewhere near Langston Church. ----- Original Message ----- From: <Toomean2@aol.com> To: <SCLAUREN-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2005 10:05 PM Subject: Re: [SCLAUREN] Re: Jobe Dean reply > > Hi Richard, > > Good to hear from you.

I have a picture taken sometime around,1900-1910, of five "GRANT" brothers who were in the Laurens-Greenwood-Greenville area during this time. I have the names for three of them, but I can only ID one of them for sure. Benjamin F. Grant was my great-grandfather, and two of his brothers were named William, and John. Ben died in 1934, William in 1938, and John in 1963. I have no names for the other two brothers. There was also two sisters in this family. Sallie, died 1937, and Bessie, who died in 1957. Their parents were George and Mary Mitchell Grant. I would like to make contact with anyone with info on this family, and I will be glad to email the picture to anyone who may can help ID the brothers. Thanks, Eddie
