Hi Richard, Good to hear from you. Every so often I pick up the Grahams and run with them - until I slam into the same brick wall! I would really like to solve this one, as this is the line that my grandmother is most interested in. Here is the info on the census for James Martindale: 1850 - Series: M432 Roll: 855 Page: 242A dwelling number 619 Take care, Lisa In a message dated 11/30/2005 9:11:07 PM Eastern Standard Time, ralorenz@comcast.net writes: Lisa: Glad to see that you are still researching the Grahams. Jobe Dean lived near Joanna, on the eastern side, in both 1850 and 1860. The Johnson relatives of the Grahams lived not too far away near Neighbor's Crossroads, I believe. Can you send me the census location for James Martindale in the 1850 census. I use the census page number and dwelling number in my computer listing. Thanks, Richard Lorenz
