I did have the Catherine Graham information and knew about their children. Supposedly Lucy had helped with those children. I guess the way dates get mixed up can be confusing. I have the court record of Lucy and John's divorce and she was divorced Feb 4, 1881. Is that book available for sale? Thanks for your help. Did you find that Rakes was also spelled Raikes as my grandmother Anna Raikes used? Margaret
