King Graham Ancestry
By Charlotte King Ralston
Simon Peter Graham
Simon Peter Graham, born 17 August 1834,
in Virginia, and died 20 Feb.
1898 in Grundy County, Tenn., who was the father of Virginia
Lee Graham.
Simon Peter's father was John H. Graham, born 1800, his mother was Elizabeth,
born in 1808, and died in March 1862. His brothers and sisters were:
John R. Graham, born in 1831, Eliza Graham
born in 1832, George W. Graham born in 1833, Susan
R. Graham born in 1838, Susan married a Garland.
Charles Graham born in 1840, married Sara
Ann.
Notes handed down list a brother, James W. Graham , born
1824, died 14
February 1908.
The Civil War started on 12 April 1861,
one month later, on 13th of
May 1861, at age twenty six years and about nine months ,
Simon P. enlisted
for the war, as a Virginia Volunteer,
in Salem, Virginia, as a
Private, Co. I - 28 Regimentt, Virginia Infantry as an
Artilleryman. However,
in Feb. 1862, he was transferred to Wagoner, then later
documents stated;
Teamster. He was hauling supplies for the troops, under the command
of
General Robert E. Lee, who took over after General Joseph E. Johnston was
wounded. Since we have documents of S. P. Graham receiving his
pay at
Manassas Junction, in June 1861, leads us to believe that he may have
fought
in that battle, called Manassas or Bull Run, as he was classified as
artillery man at that time. General Beauregard was in
charge when this
battle was fought.
Some of the names appearing on his Company Muster
Roll were: Capt. M.
P. Deyerle, Capt. Holt, Maj. Ball, A. W. Williams, and ?. M.
Danville
These dates and places listed below,
were where Simon P. Graham was
stationed and wrote letters home to Martha Stamback. The
North and South,
both paid their enlisted men $11.00 per month, in the
beginning,. Later the
South raised theirs to $18.00 per month, in
confederate money.

1. In some old letters, some of Simon P.
Graham's children mentioned "Aunt Nannie" on several occasions. Velma McElhaney
King remembers that
Aunt Nannie's name was Nannie Guyear (Garr). I learned that this
person was
Martha Stamback Graham's sister. Velma McElhaney King
remembers that Aunt Nannie had a son named Price , and his wife was named
Ellen. Also that
Aunt Nannie was living with Price when she died, about 1923 or 24.
2. May 15, 1862 - Chickanormay, Va.
? Could this have been Chickahominy River, or the Battle of Seven Days?
3. Simon Peter Graham was in the area, when this
battle was being
fought, in December 1862. He had been put on duty as
Regiment Wagoner Feb.1862, and some time later to Teamster. The World Book Encyclopedia's account; General Ambrose E.
Burnside led an attack against General Robert E. Lee at Fredricksburg. It was on this
occasion that Lee made a statement that has since become famous. Fog
covered the battle field early in the morning before the battle began. As it
lifted and the Confederate command surveyed the panorama of thousands of troops
in full array, Lee remarked: "It is well that war is so terrible -- we
would grow too fond of it". Lee's troops defeated the Union forces at this
time,but could not take advantage of the victory, because of being
out numbered by the Northern troops, and the Confederates had few reserves
of men and supplies.

Simon Peter Graham
Co. I 28 Regt.
Hunton's Brigade
Picket Div. Garnett's
Brigade
Richmond, Va.
Virginia Volunteers
On the Aug. 31, 1861, Company
Muster Roll, Simon Peter Graham was
listed as Pvt. Co K. 28 Reg't Virginia Inf. This
company subsequently became Company I, 28th Regiment Virginia Infantry.
The 28th Regiment Virginia Infantry was accepted
into the service of the Confederate States July 1, 1861, with ten companies, A to K.
(1st) Company E had been transferred from the Regiment in June 1861, and subsequently
became Company C, 11th Regiment Virginia Infantry. (1st) Company C
was transferred to the artillery service about August 20, 1861, and finally
became Capt. John R. Johnston's Company Virginia Light Artillery.
Company H was reorganized as an artillery organization December 24, 1861,
and finally became Capt. Douthat's Company Virginia Light
Artillery. The regiment was reorganized about May 1, 1862, with nine companies.
The document shown below of Simon P.
Graham's may have been when he
left the service. At least we don't have anything dated after this.
(I have
learned that some old letters, which Simon Peter wrote to his sweetheart
during the Civil War are still intact, and are in the possession of a
great
granddaughter, Billie Faye Hampton Myers)

It seems reasonable to believe that Simon P. married
after he returned
home from the war. However, if the marriage date (Mar. 2,
1865) which we
have is correct, the war was not officially over until a short time later.
Grant and Lee met on April 9, 1865, to arrange surrender terms. Then
Johnston
surrendered on April 26, 1865, Taylor surrendered May 4, 1865, and
then on
May 26, 1865 General Edmund Kirby- Smith surrendered the last Confederate
army in the field, and the war was over.
Simon Peter Graham's Marriage, and Family
I. Simon Peter Graham, b. 17 Aug. 1834 in
Virginia, d. 20 Feb. 1898, in
Grundy Co. Tenn., married in Roanoke, Virginia, on
2 March 1865 to Martha
Stamback b. 3 March 1842, in Virginia , d. 18 Aug. 1903.
Both are
buried in the Oak Grove Cemetery , Tracy City, Tenn.
The 1850 census of Roanoke County, Virginia, list: (1.)
Benjamin Stamback
age 42, born in Virginia (Birthdate 1808) (There is a three year
difference
in the age of Benjamin Stamback on this census
report, and the 1880
census). (2.) Peggy age 28, (wife, 14 years younger than Benjamin,
her
birthdate 1822) (3.) Patsy, age 8, (birthdate
1842) (4.) Nancy, age
6, (birthdate 1844) (5.) Leroy, age 4, (birthdate 1846)
(6.) Richard,
age 2, (birthdate 1848) (7.) Sarah A. age 9/12
(birthdate 1849)
The next census, which I have found is the 1880 one. That leaves us with
30
years unaccounted for. There may have been another child or two born
between
1849, and when the next one shows up in 1880 , Susan N. age 25 (birthdate
1855). At this time Benjamin's wife, Peggy, had died,
probably before they
left Virginia.
The 1880 census of Lincoln County, Tenn., list Benjamin Stamback age 69,
farmer, born in Virginia, his father born in Pennsylvania, his mother born
in
Virginia. Living in his household was: ( 1. Susan N., daughter, age
25,
keeping house, born in Virginia as were both of her parents.)
(2. George
P., son, age 23, working on farm, he and both parents born in Virginia)
(3. Benjamin A., age 21, farmer, he and both parents born in Virginia.)
This
was Martha Stamback's father and siblings.
Since we don't have Martha's name on the census report, we can only
assume
that she ma y have been called Patsy, as that is the daughter listed as
having been born in 1842, which is Martha Stamback's birthdate
*Simon Peter and Martha Stamback Graham's children
were: Mary Susan,
Charles S., Laura
Ann, Virginia
Lee, Sarah Florence, Benjamin Walter, George W.
J., and Julia B. Graham.

Simon Peter Graham decided to leave
Roanoke, or Roanoke Co., Virginia,
within two years after the Civil War was over. From census records
we know
that Mary Susan, born 10 Dec,. 1865 and Charles Simon on
2 Nov. 1867, in
Virginia and Laura A. was born in Tennessee on 6 May 1870.
They had to
have come between these dates" 1867 --1870". We
don't know exactly how
many family members made the trip. Martha, his wife, and two
children, and
if the notes meant that James W. and Charles were his brothers. (We
know his
mother was already dead, some hand written notes; state
that she died in
March 1882, but we don't know when his father died). It is not known
if he
knew where he was going to, only that he traveled westward,
but taking a
somewhat southerly route, and was in Lincoln County, Tenn., in
1880, but
had gone over or back over into Alabama when Benjamin Walter was
born in
1878. In addition was Martha's father, Benjamin Stamback,
age 69, a
daughter, Susan N., age 25,( I guess this was the person
called Aunt
Nannie Garr (Guyear), also two brothers George P., age 23, and
Benjamin A.
, age 21.
( These dates from 1880 census of Lincoln County,
Tenn.)
.
The remembered stories are that some point during this
time Simon Peter
drove a wagon, hauling convicts to work in the coal mines.
That may have
been the reason he ended up at Tracy City, Tennessee -
Grundy County,
where he remained for the rest of his life.
Daughter, Virginia Lee told stories, about
remembering the trip to
Tracy City, from where ever they were, perhaps Lincoln County,
Tenn., and
on one occasion they stopped, and camped at a spring. Also she
had been
told that she was named Virginia for the state of Virginia and Lee for
General Robert E. Lee, who Simon Peter Graham served under during the
Civil
War.
I would welcome any corrections and additions you could supply.
