"The following accumulated information, not complete by any means, is what I have about the family of Hiram and Sally McGraw above."
"Hiram McGraw was born 2 April 1804 in New York State and his wife, Sally Bridenbecker, daughter of John and Margaretha (LENTZ) Bridenbecker, was born about 1809 in East Schuyler."
Their children were:
"According to my family records, Hiram McGraw was the brother of my maternal great-greatgrandfather, William McGraw, about whose early life I know very little. Supposedly, he was born in Norwich, CT. After years of research in Connecticut, I've drawn a blank."
Our appreciation to Phil. Munson for sending this detailed burial information. Phil would like to correspond with researchers having further information about the extended McGraw family, especially his great-greatgrandfather William, or the individuals listed above.
Phil sent us these directions for getting there:
The location of the subject cemetery is as follows. It is north of New York State route # 5, west of East Schuyler. Just west of East Schuyler on Route # 5, turn north on Herkimer County Road # 53, also known as the Millers Grove Road. Just beyond the New York State Thruway which one goes under, turn left on Church Road which dead ends at the Thruway. The cemetery is on this road.
