 According to some family trees, the father of James Graham (b. 1753) was a Michael Graham (b. 1710), who came to Pennsylvania from Ulster Ireland and initially settled in Pennsylvania in Paxtang Township. According to other sources, James Graham (b. 1753) was born in Pennsylvania and was of Scottish ancestry. Both may be true, but solid confirmation is lacking.
-((The Graham Family Bible, once owned by Michael Graham (b. 1710) and now held by the Washington and Lee University Library, indicates that Michael and his wife Susanna had a son, James, born 1.Feb.1753. Susanna passed away in Paxtang in 1772, and Michael subsequently moved to North Carolina with his daughter Mary and her husband (Edward Sharp).  In 1783, Michael made a will that makes no mention of a son James, but includes bequests to all other sons.  Various family trees show our James Graham as born 4.Oct.1753, but I have found no documentation to establish that specific date.))

 At present, then, the family origins of this Graham line are uncertain.
