Sandy Cocoa, Florida -----Original Message----- From: Richard Graham [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 4:59 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [WVSUMMER] Vale, WV Cindy, You know I'm glad you ask me that, I have been doing research on the Graham's now for 10 to 15 years (my time does fly bye) anyway I had never gave it a though to do what you said, I have several letters written around 1840 from Alderson back to the Graham brother's that went to Illinois, as Lowell , Talcott and Hinton wasn't their at that time, also one from San Francisco about 1910 back to Illinois from another Graham pertaining to Graham family, the one from Alderson was from John Graham a son of Rebecca Graham and Joseph Graham that lived at Clayton , my three Graham brother's were about the same age as John Graham, I also have Marriage vows on several of Col James Graham's children where he signed them, In reading the ones written back in 1840 I found it interesting where they speak of the price of hogs and cattle and corn and wheat, and being so low it was hard to make a living in that area, anyway they are very interesting, I will see what I can do about donating them to the Graham Society, Richard Graham Middletown Missouri [email protected] ----- Original Message ----- From: "cindy g" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 2:17 PM Subject: Re: [WVSUMMER] Vale, WV > Richard, > Have you ever thought of copying and donating the copies of the > letters to the "Graham House" in Lowell? It would add a lot of insight on (W)Virginig life and I think they would display them at the old log house. You may want to think about it and give them a call. I, for one, would enjoy seeing them. > Cindy > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Richard Graham > To: [email protected] > Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2006 7:14 AM > Subject: Re: [WVSUMMER] Vale, WV > > > I been enjoying reading your alls post on old times in West Virginia, I > guess that's one reason my Graham's left their many years ago for Illinois, > to maybe better them selves and then ran into hardships of being on outer > fringes of civilization at the time they left the Hinton , Talcott, Lowell, > area in 1836, I have some old letter's from that area written about the > living condition at that time in West Virginia, anyway thanks for > writing,,,,,, > Richard Graham > > > ============================== > Find your ancestors in the Birth, Marriage and Death Records.
