In 1817, the entire family emigrated to Ohio, and made a settlement in Truro township, where William Graham and his son soon died. Their son, George, married Anna Cowden, of Cambridge, New York, in December, 1790. He was born June 2, 1777, in Salem, Washington county, New York, and his wife, June 30, 1779, in Pelham, Massachusetts. To them were born twelve children, as follows: [David*] William G., James, John, Sarah, Susan, Mary, Ann, Levi, Isaac, Nancy, and Amos. His wife's sister, Margaret Cowden, accompanied them in their journey to Ohio, in 1817. They traveled eight weeks, in a two horse wagon, before reaching their destination, in Truro township, Franklin county, where Mr. Graham bought two hundred and seven acres of land located a mile and a quarter northeast of Reynoldsburg. They suffered many privations and hardships in the new country, where there were few roads except corduroy, no bridges, mills far distant and poor at that, fevers and ague very prevalent, and doctors few and far between. Houses were made of logs, with a hewed puncheon floor, the roof covered with clapboards, and barely a nail used in their construction. David Graham, the first child of George and Anna Graham, was born February 17, 1801, at their old home in New York. When a young man, in 1819, he taught school on his father's farm. On the twentieth of December, 1821, he was married to Nancy Graham, of Truro township, and settled on a lot of fifty acres, given him by his father. This land he cleared and occupied until 1854, when he engaged in business at Taylor's station, on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. Later, he bought a dry goods store at Reynoldsburg, and associated his son with him, where he remained twenty-one years. He dow [sic.] lives on a small farm near the village.
