History of the Graham Family (1899)
David Graham's
History of the Graham Family (1899)
Online Version
In 1899, David Graham, a grandson of Colonel James Graham (who
built the Graham House in present-day Summers
County, WV), wrote a history of the Graham family as he understood it. He relied
on the memories of relatives, and on court and civil records. A reprint of 200
copies of this book was issued in 1966. Both editions are nearly impossible to
find. To help genealogists use this valuable resource, I have prepared this online
version. A photocopied transcript of the book along with
supplemental family group sheets is available. (This transcript was typed by Susan
Graham Redmond as part of an 859-page genealogy compilation put together by William
L. Graham of St. Albans, WV.)
I scanned the 1982 transcript of the full text of David Graham's
book, and then compared my text to photocopies of microfilm of the original
1899 edition. The sections are based on David Graham's table of contents, with
the exception of the bracketed listings, which have been broken out of the sections
preceding them in order to have shorter, easier to read HTML files.
