Biography
William Graham is a member of Clan Graham.
William Graham is the son of William Graham, 2nd Earl of Montrose and Lady Janet Keith.[1]
He was the Rector at Killearnan, Ross-shire, Scotland.[1] On 7 January 1560 he had a charter of Killearn.[1] He was Canon of Glasgow Cathedral and he died about 1597.[2]
Research Notes
" Hon William Graham of Killearn, Canon of Glasgow Cathedral, Rector of Killearn (d. c. 1597)" - I think this is somewhat inaccurate, as he probably wasn't a priest. He was the ancestor of the Grahams of Killearn through his son John.
