Samuel Allison GRAHAM [Parents] was born 1 on 18 Mar 1848 in Biggsville, Illinois. He died on 1 Oct 1931 in Afton, Iowa. He was buried in Orient Cemetery, Orient, Iowa. He married Elizabeth Grace THOMSON on 3 Jun 1869 in United Presbyterian Church, Macksburg, Iowa. Samuel was counted in a census 2 in 1880 in Jackson, Madison, Iowa.
The 1930 census shows Samuel A. Graham and his wife Elizabeth living in Afton, Iowa in the home of their son-in-law Wesley Jacobson, his wife Mary and five of their children. The eldest doughter, Marjorie Jacobson (my mother), was away in college at the time, studying to become a medical doctor.
Samuel and his wife lived the last several years of their lives in a small home in Orient, Iowa, adjacent to the home of their youngest daughter, Jennie, and her husband, Claude Bishop.
My information comes from several sources. First and foremost from a suitcase found in my mother's house which was "to be deposited into a suitable waste disposal site" by order of Judge Michael Gamble of the Lynchburg Circuit Court issued in 1994 at the request of my brother, Creighton Sloan.
That suitcase which I found and rescued contained the numerous old photos such as the photos of my grandmother Mary Graham when she was a little girl in 1882 and her mother in 1864. I scanned and posted those photos on my web site in 1995 and that was the seed which started this, when people started writing me letters about them.
http://www.samsloan.com/gg-mom.htm
http://www.samsloan.com/gg-mom-2.htmNext, my brother Creighton sent me some information he had assembled, which was strange because Creighton has been fighting with me and our mother for 30 years and has never before or since sent me a friendly letter.
I believe that what Creighton sent me was largely based on Philip Graham's book plus updates reflecting current family members and new children born.
Then, I often get bits and pieces of information from people who see my web site and add a relative or two.
My grandmother Mary Graham married Wesley Jacobson, who was Swedish. On the Swedish side, I get lots of letters because Wesley Jacobson's grandfather, Peter Cassel, led the first Swedish settlement in Iowa and they are mentioned in history books, research papers, doctoral thesis and so on, so I am constantly getting new information or inquiries about that.
However, on the Graham side I believe that all my sources are the same original source, which is Philip Graham's book.
In about 1959 in the summer I went to a golden wedding anniversary for one of my Graham relatives in Northeastern Iowa. More than one hundred relatives were there. I wish I could remember who it was whose aniversary we were celebrating.
We had an old family tree in the 1950s. According to this tree, which I never personally saw, we were related to the sister of John Paul Jones, the Scot captain who became American and fought against the British in the War of 1812.
My uncle Newell Jacobson who lived in Florida later told me that he had that family tree. However, Newell died in 1989 and I do not know what happened to the old family tree. I believe it was made by a commercial company and not by a family member.
