According to the England's census, William Graham was really named: Matthew William Graham - he was born in Scotland or Ireland, went to England where he met and married Alice Frances Musgrove, she was born 1764 and died on 25 July 1847, she was 83. According to Ancestry William and Frances had eight (8)children, their names appear, but their birth dates do not. I do suspect that William and Frances where married around 1791-1793, and had their first child around 1794. There names bios are as follows:

1). Duncan James Graham - Born: 1794 in Scotland or Ireland, died on the 4th of August 1856, near a Lumber Bridge Church in Robeson County, Fayetteville, North Carolina. I believe he was Irvin's twin as their year birthdate are the same. He married a lady with the last name of Kier, they had six (6)children, in 1845 she died, and Duncan married for the 2nd time to Elizabeth Betsy Ausley, they had five (5) children.

2). Irvin Graham - Born: 1794 in Scotland or Ireland, Died at birth.

3). Mary Jane Graham - Born: 1796 in Scotland or Ireland. She died in 1886 - she was married to a Martin and had boy and a girl. She died in Scotland as so did her husband.

4). William Graham II (my 4th Great Grandfather)he was born either in Scotland or Ireland. All his siblings were born in Ireland or Scotland. I believe he was born in the year of 1800. As there are several William Grahams in that time period it's hard to determine which one is my 4th Great Grandfather, I will continue to investigate his birth and death date and where he was born.

5). Margaret Graham - Born: 30 December 1802 in Ireland, died on 5 February 1889 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - she married Samuel Windram and they had 2 girls an 1 boy. According to the Scotland Census, she raised her children, and after her husband died, she followed one of her daughters to the United States to live with until her died in 1889.

6). Andrew Graham - Born: 1806 on the Atlantic Ocean while in transit to the United States of America. The passenger list shows he was a new born, and born on the ship. He died on April 17, 1891. He was married to Margaret McGuirk and they had one daughter Maggie.

7). James Edward Graham - Born: 26 May 1808 in Ireland and died 25 July 1886 in Pennsylvania, he was married to Isabell Shaw and they had eight (8) children. He came to America when he was just 18 years old. Not much is known about his life style. He lived in Pennsylvania all his life.

8). John Graham - Born: 1813 Broughshane, Antrim, Ireland, and died on October 1888, in Broughshane, Antrim, Ireland. He married Jane Shaw, as cousin of Isabell Shaw that was married to his brother James Edward Graham, John and Jane had four (4) children, there were three girls and one boy.
