[1820, If ages in later census correct, James would be 26, 3rd age grp. There are several GRAHAM'S with sons in 3rd age grp. so further research needs to be done to see if any are James' family. They could be in another state. Also check for other name spellings.]

In application for Indian Claim he stated birthplace Marion Co., TN, date 8-27-1848. Date agrees with Fed. Cen. in 1860, 1870. Tombstone gives 8-27-1852 and birthdate. I question the birthplace, as the 1850 fed. cen. indicates this family was in Coffee Co. 1840-50.

Both Jeff and Josie were not well educated and I suspect some of the later records were based upon memory and/or estimates. The family bible burned when their oldest dau. Pearl, an invalid, accidently set the house afire, in which she also perished. Even though Josie was living in 1900 to give the census data, either the writer was confused or misinformed.
In 1910 the census record is not legible

Children of JOSEPHINE GRAHAM and JEFFERSON WALKER are:
i. PEARL NAOMI3 WALKER, b. 11-26-1884, Gi. Co., TN; d. 1911, Grayson Co., TX, bur. Patton Cem..
Notes for PEARL NAOMI WALKER:
Pearl was apparently injured before or during birth. She could not talk or walk. She was described as having black curly hair and bright blue eyes, quite beautiful and of pleasant disposition, although could become irritated. She is said to love pretending to be hand-sewing. On a summer night the family were all setting on the poarch and pearl was indoors. Apparently she became bored and it was thought she tried to pull a ravelled thread from a cloth on the table near her that held the kerosene lamp. It is believed in the tugging for the thread she was wanting to play with caused the lamp to fall over and started the fire. She died in that fire and the family bible was burned.
