5. JAMES4 GRAHAM (JOHN3, EDWARD2, THOMAS1) was born Abt. 1749 in Augusta County, Virginia. He married SARAH UNKNOWN.
Notes for SARAH UNKNOWN:
There is much debate about Sarah's maiden name at this time:
In the past it was largely accepted to be Farley because of the listing on page 93 in Marriage Bonds of Franklin County, Virginia 1766-1858 by Marshall Wingfield.
John Ferrow and Sarah Cox, daughter of Sarah Farley, 27 Nov 1787, Surety James Sloan.
However, if you look at the actual record, John and Sarah's record appears next to the record of Archibald Farley and Jane Farley and the note indicating that Sarah is the mother appears to belong with that record.
The following was taken from information assembled by Barbara Brown Eakley and published online by Pat and Jim Geary at Rootsweb.com.
The discovery of new evidence strongly suggest that Jester Cox was the father of Sarah Graham Furrow, "so his story is presented here to promote further research. Jester Cox was an early settler in what is now Franklin Co VA. In 1748 he was on the tax list of John Phelps for Lunenburg Co VA, the part that became Bedford County in 1752. On 11Mar1755 he had a survey made of 148A on White Oak Bottom Creek, a fork of Maggotty Creek in Bedford Co VA, and the same day had a survey made of 328A on both sides of Marley's Creek, a south fork of Maggotty Creek. That land was near the Carolina Road which ran through Maggoty Gap to North Carolina, and today is approximately Rte 220: this was the old Great Warrior Path of the Iroquois. On 24Nov1776 his line was mentioned in a survey made for James Slone of 677A at Maggotty Creek in Bedford Co VA. In 1778 his line was mentioned in a survey made in Bedford Co VA for William Mead: nearby landowners were Grimes, Simmons, Charter, Richardson, Allison, Taylor, Holland, Meador and Holloway. 1782-1788 his daughter Sarah and her children used the surname Cox in the court case with Grahams and Arthurs in Bedford Co VA. When his daughter Sarah Cox remarried 27Nov1787 in Bedford Co VA, Sarah Farley was identified as her mother, and surety was the neighbor James Slone.",
