PART 2

Nancy Graham (1797-1845) Ancestors: The Coltrin/Hunn/Maxham lineages

We will deal first with the wife and parents of Samuel Graham and then examine the supporting maiden name DNA evidence. Then we will look at progenitors of Samuel Graham and finally the distant Graham relatives, the New Hampshire Grahams, and discuss the confirmatory absence of other relevant surnames.

The Wife of Samuel Graham, b. 1771

We see from the Graham Genealogical Summary in PART 1 that Nancy Graham’s father was Samuel Graham. The wife of Samuel Graham is usually left blank in most trees except at FamilySearch Tree where his wife is ‘Hanna Coltrin’ with a bad reference (linkrot) at familytreemaker.genealogy.com in 2014 or ‘Sarah (Sally) Coltrain’ at Millenium Search¹ (no actual source). The wife cannot be Sarah Coltrin 14 as historical records show she already had a spouse vide infra. A search of ETS DNA matches produced many hits, shown below in Cluster 5; ‘Donnabengle’², ‘Rebecca Julieana Hartle’³, ‘Perry Brann Dobson’⁴, ‘hapychance1’⁵, ‘T. C.’⁶, ADAM RAYMER’⁷, ‘wendyglas’⁸, ‘C. C.’⁹, Cheryl E. P. Hauser’¹⁰, ‘Linda Easley’¹¹, Luana Iris Allen’¹², and ‘Edward Harrington’¹³.

As if they were trying to confuse us, the Coltranes intermarried frequently with Grahams–but not the Connecticut Grahams, but the Hugh Graham family of New Hampshire; both families come from Scotland. The New Hampshire Grahams are not closely related to the Connecticut Grahams. If there is a Common Ancestor for the two Graham families, he is in Scotland, has low cM matches and is beyond the scope of this DNA study and the available data from Ancestry.

The immigrant Coltrin/Coltrane family lived in upstate New York locations where they were in close proximity with the New Hampshire Graham family (see 1790 census citation vide infra). Later the Coltranes moved to Tolland County, just northeast of Hartford, Connecticut where they were close to Wethersfield, Hartford and the Connecticut Grahams. Hannah Coltrin, born 1766 at Wethersfield is the likely wife of Samuel Graham (no source).

It is noteworthy that when the Mormons made the 1847 trek to the Salt Lake Valley they did so in the same fashion as Moses when he led the Hebrews out of Egypt to the Promised Land—organized into ‘hundreds’ and ‘tens’. Zebedee Coltrin was a captain of the second ‘ten’;¹⁴ this ‘ten’ included Chauncey Loveland (Zebedee was his wife’s cousin). Soon after their arrival, Zebedee, Chauncey and Stephen H. Goddard left to harvest salt from the Great Salt Lake.¹⁵

John Coltrane’s wife was Rebecca Maxham/Muxom of Plymouth, Massachusetts. The Maxham/Maxam/Moxom family originated in Rhode Island; it has not been possible to connect in the record the Massachusetts Maxhams to the Rhode Island family. There are many ETS matches to this family, but nearly all to the Rhode Island people. One match, however, shown in Cluster 6, ‘Karin-Aisha Pandelaki’¹⁶, was discovered which is descended from the Massachusetts family; the CA is Edmund Maxim, Rebecca’s father. This is additional support for the fact that ETS possesses Coltrin DNA and not New Hampshire Graham DNA—she has matches to the ancient (before 1750) Maxson/Maxon line, i. e. possible ancestors of Rebecca Maxham, wife of John Coltrane.

John’s origins (1738-1807) are a bit more shaky. Some say (FamilySearch Family Tree) he was the son of Wm James Coltrane and Sarah Christie born ‘at sea’, but this has now been disproven by Y-DNA analysis.¹⁷ ‘At sea’ is a euphemism for born out of wedlock. John Coltraine actually was the illegitimate son of Joseph or John Lane of Edgecombe County, North Carolina and an unnamed female Coltrain. In an important FTDNA study, STR analysis of Y-DNA from several Coltrin sources were shown to not possess the Coltrin haplotype, but the Lane/Layne/Laine haplotype (see the Coltrin WISE Newsletter for more detail).

The Parents of Samuel Graham (1772-1832)

It has been established from Part 1 that Samuel’s parents were John and Hannah (Hunn) Graham.²⁹ But which John Graham? Not John Augustus Graham MD, the one most often cited (see FamilySearch Family Tree)! John Augustus Graham was born 6 Mar 1749 in Middlesex County, Connecticut, practiced medicine in Manhattan and died and was buried 18 May 1796 in Greenwich, Fairfield, Connecticut.³⁰ This John was married to Jerusha Peck Ferris and he had two daus by her (b. 1792 and 1794; they are buried next to their dad). Hannah Hunn was our John’s wife (confirmed by DNA vide infra) and she didn’t die until 1801 and was survived by husband John; she was reported to have eight children.³¹ They lived in Wethersfield (a part of Hartford) in Hartford County, Connecticut (there are 21 John Grahams buried in Hartford County).

This parentage is confirmed by the at-DNA matches in Cluster 7 showing inheritance from the Hunn line of England, later of Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut; ‘Erin Arnold’³², ‘Robert Asher’³³, ‘progers8888’³⁴, ‘A. G.’³⁵, ‘Bk2fan’³⁶, ‘merrykennedy’³⁷, ‘BradleyBriscoe’³⁸, ‘Jim Carroll’³⁹, and ‘Bryce Atwood’⁴⁰. The Graham ancestors are shown below in ‘The Graham Progenitors’.

Virtually all the Ancestry trees contain minor or major errors and are not cited to avoid confusion. Jacobus’ Hale, House and Related Families (for the Hunn lineage)⁴¹ is excellently sourced and researched and is accepted as an authority.

Listed here as sons of Nathaniel Hunn I are two sons, both Nathaniel Hunn, II and IIa. Both are supported as descendants by at-DNA matches. Massey⁴² claims Nathaniel II, son of Priscilla Kitchen, is a son of Nathaniel I. But Anderson⁴³ claims (without proof or comment) that Nathaniel II is not the son of Nathaniel I, but supports Nathaniel IIa as a son of Nathaniel I. The only way this could be consistent with all the data would be if George had another son beside Nathaniel I that had a son Nathaniel (II).

The Graham progenitors

The Graham line goes back another six generations to Scotland from Nancy Graham. There is some supporting DNA evidence shown in Cluster 8; matches ‘kccat5153’⁶⁹,⁷⁰ and Barbara Menke’⁷¹.

The eight children of John Graham (1737-after 1801) and Hannah Hunn have been mostly identified by other records beside Hannah’s will⁷² that names them all.

The eight do not include a Jesse Graham, who by DNA is an ancestor. He is a puzzle; he is, from the DNA evidence, a direct ancestor, but in the face of historical records and the number of cMs cannot be later in the line than John Graham/Hannah Hunn. See Cluster 9; ‘Darci Mays’⁷³,⁷⁴, ‘Tammylieb’⁷⁵, ‘lparker281’⁷⁶,‘G. P.’⁷⁷, and ‘E. P.’⁷⁸.

Since Jesse cannot be a child of John Graham/Hannah Hunn, the male children of Samuel Graham/Sarah Warren were examined as potential fathers of Jesse. Jesse’s father was identified as likely Benjamin Graham (1745-1813) of Middlesex County, Connecticut.

Complicating the matter is the fact that there are two Jesse Grahams: Jesse of Massachusetts was born 1760 to John and Jane Graham and died 1818 at Spencer, Worcester, Massachusetts. The parents John and Jane Graham do not appear to be part of the New Hampshire Graham family. John was born 1725 and died 17 mar 1776 (age 56); Jane Graham died 16 Mar 1808 (preceded in death by her husband). Children:⁷⁹ (1) Robert 19 Jun 1747; (2) Andrew b. 22 Jun 1749, (3) Catte b. 18 Jun 1751 m. 4 Apr 1780 Carley Ward; (4) William b. 28 Aug 1753 m. 6 Sep 1778 ____ Hatch; (5) Elizabeth b. 6 Aug 1755 m. Sylvanus Gats; (6) John b. 1 Sep 1757 m. 30 May 1780 Olive Prouty; (7) Jesse (Jesse of Massachusetts) b. 31 Mar 1760, d. 18 Feb 1818, m.⁸⁰ 12 May 1785 Anna Parker; (8) Mary b. 6 Jun 1762 m. 18 Dec 1783 James Biglow; (9) Samuel b. 19 Sep 1764. Jesse and Anna had a son William, b. 26 Jan 1787.

A biography⁸¹ of Jesse Graham presents data from both Jesse’s.⁸² It states that Jesse was born 1761 at Massachusetts. The rest of the biography relates to Jesse of Connecticut. (For more information abt Jesse of Massachusetts see ‘Grahams of New Hampshire’ vide infra.)

Jesse of Connecticut was 15 yrs. at the start of the American fight for independence. He was a drummer under Colonel Zebulon Butler in the 4th Connecticut regiment; the 1835 pension file of Middlesex County, Connecticut identifies him as a drummer and states his age at 67, b. 1767.⁸³,⁸⁴,⁸⁵ He was born 1767 of Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut and died 5 Jan 1841.⁸⁶ Jesse apparently went to sea⁸⁷ and the record indicates he was from Wethersfield, Hartford, Connecticut. He married⁸⁸ 16 Aug 1792 at Haddam Neck, Chatham, Middlesex, Connecticut Elizabeth Cook dau of Josiah and Mary (Ridder) Cook.⁸⁹ She was born 27 Jan 1768 and christened 3 Aug 1773 at Chatham.
