Research Notes

There have been attempts to link William to one Scottish nobleman or another without any credible source in often in contradiction to known facts. These include:
  1. John Graham (1648-1689), 1st Viscount Dundee - list of documented children does not include William or Thomas
  2. John Graham (abt.1615-1689), Viscount Dundee
  3. William Graham (aft.1589-aft.1661), 1st Earl of Airth
  4. John Graham (1613-1644), Lord Graham of Kinpont (son of the 1st Earl of Airth)
  5. James Graham (abt.1612-1650), 1st Marquess of Montrose
  6. John Graham (1630-abt.1648), Lord Graham, d. 1645 age 15
Profile had links to Immigration to America in 1864, but children were born after that date in Scotland, so it may be a different Willam Graham [2]

I believe this William is supposed to be the son of john grandson of james marq. of Montrose

There is really no way that William Thomas Graham was a son to William Graham and Agnes Gray. They were too old to be his parents. Also, he is not among their known children, who were born some 30 years before him.

I think we have two profiles in conflict with each other as they are both named William Graham but are "married" to the same wifes profile. The issue is both William's have different parents listed and each has a different son listed.

So more research required. They may need to be merged and correct parents listed or set as a rejected match and wives and children figured out.

Graham-149 and Graham-9543 are not ready to be merged because: need to reconcile death date and location before considering merge

Graham-149 and Graham-9543 appear to represent the same person because: Both are linked in marriage to the same person. If these are two different William Grahams, I hope there there is some definite way to discriminate between them.

Hello I'm a Graham from Liverpool but my father was from Manchester and his lineage leads to Southport and Glasgow. I'm looking for leads back to the earls of Menteith and Montrose as we are told we do connect and the blood line is very royal.
