2. WILLIAM2 GRAHAM , SR. (CHRISTOPHER1) (Source: Richard Salisbury.) was born Abt. 1700 in Donegal County, Ireland, and died April 1749 in Augusta Co., VA. He married JANE MAY (Source: Chronicles of the Scotch Irish Settlement in Virginia, 38, John Graham petitions for relief a security for Jane Graham, widow of William Graham.) in County Donegal, Ireland. Notes for WILLIAM GRAHAM , SR.: He and his brother, John Graham Sr. immigrated to Chester Co., PA, in 1741 from Ireland. Scots-Irish Presbyterians, the Grahams origianlly came from Scotland and were settled in Ireland by the English to help suppress the Irish in the shore counties of Down, Antrim, Londonderry, and Donegal. William and his brother found all the available land taken, so they moved south into Virginia and settled on the Calf Pasture River. He resided in 1742 at Calf Pasture River, Augusta Co., Va.
