Title: Andrew Graham Family Group Record Compiled by Sylvia Seymour of Massillon OH
Media: Book

Reference: 259

Note: Information about Andrew, his wifes and his descendants was sent to me by Sylvia Seymour and Alice Walcheck. They are from the Lewis Mann line. I have also received information from Trina Juneman and a paper by Priscilla Jane Graham, entitled "Descendants of Andrew Graham of Bolton, MA. I have not proved all of this information independently. Sources of confirmation will be inserted as I find them.

In a descendant of Andrew Graham chart sent to me on 11/05/1999, Alice Walcheck shows that Andrew was born in Ulster Ireland.

Andrew's will was recorded 28 April 1807 (Marlboro District Probate Records, Windham Co. VT, Vol. 3, pg. 350) and names his son Caleb as his executor. Andrew's will also names four of his daughters, Mary Hill, Abigail Evitt, Deliverance Burnham and Relief Stevens.

1: Father assigned after much research by Priscilla Jane Graham.

2: Died about 1788, Windham VT. This date is questionable as hi will was recorded in 1807, 19 years later.

5: Andrew Grimes and children were in Lancaster MA on 4/Feb. 1752.

6: Andrew, Submit, John, Abigail, Mary, Deliverance, Eunice, Lemuel and Caleb were in Luneburg MA, 16 Aug., 1763 from Bolton MA.

Note: Death of Warren Mann
Aged Resident of the County Passes Away Saturday Morning At County Farm, After Weeks ILLness.
Warren Mann, an aged resident of Washington county, died Saturday morning at 11:30, after an illness of about an week, the cause of his death being a brain affection, a complication due to his old age.
Warren Mann was born at Medina, Ohio seventy-two years ago. He lived there during most of his early life, coming west to Illinois when still in his teens. It was during his residence in Illinois that he suffered the amputation of his arm, which was injured in a thrashing machine. Coming to Iowa, he herded cattle for a number of years near the present site of Keota, on the Carris farm, when most of this country was unbroken prairie. Later he had charge of the Eckles stone quarry, northwest of the city, running that for a number of years. He was married on the old Steward farm, south of the city, to Jane Linton, and to this union four children were born, all of whom are dead. Mrs. Mann died five years ago. During the last two or three years the deceased declined rapidly both in mind and body, and a few months ago he was taken to the county farm where he could be cared for to better advantage. He was a hard working, industrious man, and his journey through life was made over difficult paths. Three brothers and three sisters survive him, all but one sister who lives in Michigan, residing in Ohio.
The funeral was held from his home, in southwest Washington, this morning at 10 o'clock, conducted by the Rev. L. D. Young. Internment was in the city cemetery.

His wife, Jane Mann, died in 1896 and two years later Mr. Mann went to Elkhart to make his home with his daughter. He was a wagon maker by trade , but did not engage in any regular occupation after going there.
