1820 - In the 1820 census in Jackson County, Indiana, it gives:
3 males under 10 yrs old:
1 male 26 to 45 yrs old: James Graham himself
1 females under 10 yrs old:
1 female 16 to 26 yrs old
Up through the early censuses, this Graham family not only lived inJackson County, but lived very close or near the family of WilliamElkins. NOTE: "The little town of Elkinsville in Brown County iswhere William Elkins is living, and he is thought to be the firstsettler there. They probably didn't move necessarily, because Jackson& Brown Counties were divided up by 1836."
