Abraham Ferree Graft was the son of George and Mary (Ferree) Graft. Abraham was born in Frederick County, Maryland on 5 October 1774, and he died in Butler County, Ohio on 15 April 1834. On 8 February 1798 at Bardstown, Nelson County, Kentucky, Abraham Ferree Graft married Eunice Pottinger, the daughter of Robert and Elizabeth (Willett) Pottinger, who was born 4 June 1775.

George's family removed to Ohio in about 1800, and accompanied by John Withrow, settled near the village of Seven Mile, where he entered a tract of land from the Government. Clearing it of its heavy timber growth, he gave his attention to its cultivation, and in time became the owner of a good farm, Abraham wrote his name Graft and he and wife Eunice (Pottinger) Graft had 10 children.

The Graft bible has Eunice Pottinger's date of birth as 4 June 1775.
