Author: ellenblackstone Date: Tuesday, March 10, 2009 Classification: Query Surnames: GRAHAM STEWART LAFFERTY
Hello, List! I'm interested in "talking" with others interested in the family of Rensaellier _Melville_ GRAHAM and Serena Ann LAFFERTY. Mel GRAHAM was my g-grandfather. His parents were Mary STEWART and James GRAHAM. I think this GRAHAM family arrived in Mercer County in about 1841-2. (They had come from Pennsylvania, I believe.) I believe that James was buried in Alexis, IL, in 1879. Does anyone know where? I'm especially curious to learn if Mary STEWART GRAHAM's twin sister, Maria STEWART, was in Mercer County, too. Any connections? I'll share what I know. And I have pix of the LAFFERTY family from that era Good rooting, and many thanks to this fine list! EB
