DAVID GRAHAM along with his brother JOHN and their mother ANN emigrated to Canada about 1845/6/7. They were located in Simcoe County, Canada West, later known as Ontario, before moving to Arran Twp., in Bruce County, also in Canada West. In 1859, for his marriage record, David gave his parents names as JAMES and ANN. Inscription on tombstone "ANN, wife of JAMES GRAHAM, died Sept 1863, Aged 70 years, A native of Fermanagh, Ireland". Date in Sept is not decipherable. DOB of David is shown in a couple of records as 1820. DOB of John was recorded in various Canadian census variably, a couple of years before to a couple of years after that of David. DAVID and his wife JANE WALKER had children MARTHA, ANN, WILLIAM JOHN, HANNAH AND ELIZA. A note written by a daughter of William John Graham gives the place in Ireland from which the Grahams emigrated as 'Inishklwon'. This has been interpreted as possibly how 'Enniskillen'.sounded in the family's oral history. The family was Protestant, in early years, Mehodist. Any information would be much appreciated. Thank you. Donna, grand daughter of William John, above.
