GRAHAM family

The following information was obtained from the Genealogical Office, Dublin, from the PRO, from printed sources [Dundas; Steele], from Christopher Graham descendant Rev. Douglas L. Graham, from other family information, from biographical dictionaries, obituaries, and from two CHRISTIE family trees: the first was lodged at St Andrews University, 3 Oct.1902 compiled by a descendant Christie in-law: Ralph RICHARDSON H.M. Commissary Clerk & Probate Registrar, of 2 Parliament Square Edinburgh, who married Melville Elizabeth FLEMING, granddaughter of Melville CHRISTIE.

The second CHRISTIE family tree appears to have been compiled independently of No.1, at about the same date, often with more detail, with hand-written additions to about 1940. A copy of this was obtained in New Zealand in 1978.

Dates and other details are added from personal research in original records.

Irish records are notoriously difficult to find. About two thirds of the Church of Ireland parish registers and other valuable archival records were destroyed in the Public Record Office fire in 1922 when they were used as barricades during the civil war.

Land deeds and gravestone inscriptions have been located to fill the gaps wherever possible.

GRAHAM of County Fermanagh, Ireland

There were many GRAHAM families sent to Ireland from the Lowlands of Scotland, from the early 1600s onwards. Many were forced to leave, labelled as trouble makers and brigands of the Borders. When King James I [formally King James IV of Scotland] planned his Plantation of Ulster, after the Flight of the Earls in 1607, there was only one Graham among the Undertakers [those granted from 1000 to 3000 acres who undertook to plant settlers] or the Servitors [officers of the army]: Lieutenant William Graham, who had 500 acres of Church Land and was in September 1629 “Muster-master of the Undertakers” (Morris: Patent Rolls, p.365) to carry out a census of the Undertakers, their men and what arms they held throughout the county. He seems to have executed his patent between September 1629 and early spring 1630. County Fermanagh had a total of 971 men, of whom 29 were Graham. These families were tenants of the Undertakers and Servitors.

Trory Parish near Enniskillen, Co. Fermanagh appears to be the original Irish place of settlement of our Graham family. Trory was part of the larger Devenish Parish, being on the east side of Lough Erne while the rest of the parish was on the west side where the parish church was sited. Before 1608 the parish had its centre and church at the Abbey on Devenish island, in 1630 the Chapel of Ease at Monea was made the Parish Church, and in 1778 all the land on the other or eastern side of the Lough was detached and formed into the Perpetual Curacy of Trory. It was thus more convenient for the parishioners in Trory to use the church and graveyard in Enniskillen town rather than the graveyard on the island of Devenish where now stand the ruins of the medieval monastry and church as well as the famous round tower. (From Rev.D.L.G.)

1629 Lieutenant William Graham 500 acres Church land "Muster-master of the Undertakers".

1630 Muster Roll of Co. Fermanagh [BM Ms 4770]: George Graham; James Graham.

1695 Trory: Rector's Tythe book: William Graham of Conrick paid Two pounds.

1744 John Graham of Enniskillen & Devenish paid tithe. [PRO] Brother of James d.1747?

GRAHAM of Trory Parish and Kilmore, Co. Fermanagh, Ireland

James GRAHAM b.c.1681, died May 1747 aged 66. Sidesman at Devenish church 1707. Possibly descended from William (above), or James or George Graham (on 1630 Muster Roll as tenants of Sir John Hume).

James GRAHAM married Mary b.c.1691 who died 7 Dec.1777 aged 86. She is entered in the Devenish census of March 25 1766: "widow Graham" was among the 309 Protestant families (nine Graham households). Both James and Mary were buried on the south side of Enniskillen Cathedral between the path and the railing [Dundas Enniskillen p.107].

Also buried there:

Christopher GRAHAM who died 12 Jan. 1740 aged 21

Margaret NOBLE [nee GRAHAM] who died 21 Sept.1741 aged 29

John GRAHAM who died 11 Nov.1742 aged 27

James GRAHAM of Kilmore who died 4 August 1778 aged 28

James GRAHAM senior and his wife Catherine BALL: "both departed this life in the year 1780, he aged 73 years, and shee 68 years".

In 1740 when the youngest son Christopher died, James, the eldest, was living at Cloghenagh: the second son, John, was still working in Trory.

Deed of 27 Nov.1740 ‘whereby James Graham of Cloghenagh and John Graham of Trory leased Kilmore’ (103 acres): James was aged 33 and John aged 25.

Apparently Trory on the east side was becoming crowded: both Cloghenagh and Kilmore are on the larger western side of the lake. (Rev. D.L.G.)

James Graham was a Churchwarden in 1744; "of Kilmore, voter" 1751 [PRO]; Freeholder 1757; Director of Highways 1760-61.

'Lease of 20 Oct.1774 ..to James Graham the elder, Christopher Graham and James Graham the younger, all of Kilmore Co. Fermanagh, farmers, the lands of Kilmore.. situated in the Manor of Moyglass, to hold for the lives of said Christopher and James Graham the younger.... and of James Graham now aged 6 years, only son of said Christopher and grandson of said James Graham the elder..'

The UHS found the file number: G859; compiler their then secretary Ivy Embleton, but said that a later secretary removed a number of files when setting up her own genealogy searching operation - and this is one of the missing ones. Therefore not known where the UHS found the date of death. M.I? Will? Not in Cupar.]

John GRAHAM married Ann MOORE b.c.1760, buried Cupar, Fife, 2 Oct.1833: “merchant, aged 73, Old Age”. Died 28 Sept.1833. Administration: "widow of John Graham Esquire of the City of Dublin".

In the 1774 Deed (above), Christopher Graham the eldest son, and James Graham the second son, had shares in Kilmore. James Graham's death in 1778, aged 28, resulted in a further Deed with John Graham the third son, then aged 25:

1779 10 March (Deed: 320 608 220363): "whereby James Graham of Kilmore, Co.Fermanagh, with the consent of Christopher Graham of the same, granted to John Graham of Enniskillen, his half of Kilmore as from the death of the said James Graham and Catherine Graham his wife..." James Graham the elder and wife Catherine both died in 1780.

1780-82 John Graham was a Churchwarden in Enniskillen, with William Graham. [Dundas]

1796 John Graham voted on lease of land in Kilmore in Devenish Parish.

GRAHAM of Enniskillen, and of Cupar, Fifeshire, Scotland

1796 31 July (Deed: 607 230 415566): "Lease ... whereby John Deering of the city of Dublin Esq let to John Graham of Enniskillen merchant a house called Clark's tenement then in possession of said John Graham, situated in Enniskillen, to hold for the lives of the said John Graham and of James Moore Graham and of John Morgan Graham and of Edward Smith Graham, or for 40 years at £30 p.a. Witnesses John Steele of Enniskillen and George Armstrong, Lieutenant 76th Foot. J.S. swore 22 Sept. 1807".

7 children of John GRAHAM & Ann MOORE:

[1]**James Moore GRAHAM b.13 Aug.1784 Fermanagh, Ireland; died Cupar, Fifeshire, Scotland.

Eldest son of John GRAHAM and Ann MOORE. Licentiate College of Surgeons Dublin 22 July 1806. Apprenticed to Dr George Stewart former President (1792) of Royal College of Surgeons, for 5 years from 7 Jan.1801. Asst Surgeon 31st Foot 9 July 1807. Staff Hospital Assistant, Cork (London Gazette). 9 July 1807 Commissioned Asst Surgeon 31st F. Resigned 2nd Batt. 31st Regt to Lt Col. Campbell, Limerick 31 March 1808, due to "some family arrangements that have recently taken place.... I find I cannot longer retain my situation.." [PRO CO031/251]

Joined S.Down Militia - moving around Ireland and south coast of England. The surgeon of the 34th or Fifeshire Militia (Robert Menzies) died 23 June 1813, and on 25 Apr. 1814 JMG was transferred to it from the S.Down. He arrived in Cupar on his birthday 13 August 1814. G.P. in Cupar, "the Hunting Doctor" with an "immense" practice including the "principal families", and also popular with the poor "instead of accepting remuneration he actually gave money to purchase the medicines he prescribed... ..to his dying day a whole band of pensioners were in the habit of coming to his house for their weekly allowance". Obit. Fifeshire Journal 25 May 1865.

Three generations by Henrietta Keddie, John Murray, 1911, describes Cupar life, and how as a child she witnessed:

"The chief of the revellers was an Irishman who had been an army surgeon.... brought from the brilliant Dublin of those days and from his rollicking, adventurous camp life many reminiscences of wild escapades and marvellous child's play. He stood at the moment to which I refer the centre of an admiring group of his host and hostess, their guests, and as many of their servants as could contrive to steal up and station themselves by the open dining-room door in order to have a part in the play. He was without his coat. To the back of his waistcoat was pinned a bunch of strips of paper which he had carefully cut and curled into an imitation of a lady's cluster of ringlets. My father and another man were stationed ready, a hand of each fastened behind his back, the other hand holding a tall candlestick with a lit candle. A path was cleared around the central table, and to the challenging air of a distractingly lively jig, which the performer sang with mocking emphasis in a fine brogue, he danced around the table.... The present hero was pursued frantically by the two candle-bearers, whose task it was to light the paper ringlets fluttering exasperatingly in time to the mad tune of the capering dancer. It is hardly necessary to say the feat was not accomplished, while the audience shouted with laughter, the children screamed and clapped their hands in their glee, and my mother's carpet was in danger of being converted to a sea of candle grease. God rest you merry dancer; you have lain in your grave for half a century, but while you lived you did not forget earlier ties! When more strenuous times came, you stood with loyal kindness by the children of your old friends". [pp.153-4] Dr David W.W.Hendry identifies "the reveller" as Dr James Moore Graham in his book Cupar doctors, 1992.

[The author’s childhood home was two houses away from the Grahams’:1851 census.]

JMG retired from practice 1855, died Cupar 19 May 1865. Memorial stained glass window old Cupar church. Survived by 5 sons and 2 daughters. See below.

[2] John Morgan GRAHAM (b.c.1785-89.) Irish Will index gives a John Graham, Cornet 7th Dragoons, will 1819. Not known whether this was John Morgan GRAHAM - but no other sign of him in records after the Deed of 1796. These Irish wills are no longer extant. Possibly the records of the 7th Dragoons would give enlistment details, and death details.

[3] Edward Smith GRAHAM b.5 Aug.1791 Fermanagh, M.D. St Andrews 1824. Surgeon 4th (Queens Own) Light Dragoons, died 21 Nov.1847 aged 56 Douglas, Isle of Man.

On 15 Nov. 1881 George Hogarth (Provost of Cupar) wrote in his diary "Miss Graham, my old friend died leaving Mrs Graham and Ms Fleming very helpless in the house" and on the following 18 May "Mrs Graham died leaving the eldest, Ms Fleming".[Transcribed by Dr D.Hendry]

The 1841 census is destroyed; 1851 census at 77 Millgate, Cupar shows JMG (66), Mary (53), Margaret, daur unm 21, Edward son 17, Charles son 15 Elizabeth W. daur 13, Charlotte Graham, sister, aged 50, Alexander Christie, brother-in-law, aged 47 ('Hon East India Co. medical man'), and 4 servants.

James wrote "I was educated, at first, at Ennis College, Co. Clare, Ireland, and subsequently at the Madras Academy, Cupar, Fife, Scotland. I resided in Scotland from 1832 to 1838." He would have been 13 in 1832.

We [Rev. Douglas G. & I] guessed that Jane and James must have been the responsibility of the Graham grandparents [and Charlotte who was 18 when James was born], in Ireland after their mother died, because of their moving together to Cupar, either when JMG married Mary Christie in 1827, when their grandfather John Graham died in 1829, or when James wrote that he had arrived, in 1832.

James wrote (about Mary Christie) "my dear mother", and "..I should like to have been able to have called one little girl after Mrs. Graham solely for whom I have, if possible, more than the affection of a son for she always was a kind and fond mother to me." [Letter to Mrs Lyon Campbell 19 Sept 1850: transcribed by Sally Graham.]

Joined half-brother James Graham and brother Edward Graham in 'Graham Bros & Co'. In a letter to Edward from Scotland dated 18 June 1856, James quoted disapprovingly from 'Charlie's' letter from Melbourne: "It is invariably remarked that Sunday is the hottest day of the week, because on that day, people give way to the heat, lounge half dressed on sofas or easy chairs all day long, and abuse the beastly climate and even Church is a penance, generally in a wooden building that the sun's rays easily penetrate. You are in an extreme state of moisture and discomfort during the whole service, your sole idea being how soon will service be over, that you may be able to move and breathe and this the more especially as all the seats are made of the narrowest dimensions and the most uncomfortable shape. The poor clergyman standing all the time and looking as if he would give the world to sit down and his congregation mopping away and panting and sighing like overcharged boilers." ["Did you ever hear such bosh and rot..." James added, while he himself wrote of Edinburgh "Nothing but East winds for months past, accompanied with frightful dust. Talk of Melbourne dust, it is nothing to Edinburgh. In Melbourne with the dust you have at any rate warmth but here it enters piercing cold into your very bones and strong enough to blow the teeth down your throat."] [James Graham 'Private letter books' Univ. of Melbourne Archives.
