A coat of arms described in a NY genealogy book attributed him as the grandfather of James Graham (1656-1700), the Attorney-General of the Province of New York and my eighth great grandfather. His daughter Isabella married NJ Governor Lewis Morris, my 7th. Morris also co-wrote the first play in the colonies.

On a genealogical trip, I happened across his papers at Rutgers and the librarian pointed at the xerox machine and handed me ALL of the Lewis Morris handwritten papers. I whispered to husband that our travel plans had just changed. Spent 3 days copying EVERYTHING.

That’s cool, and I completely understand. Done the same sort of thing researching family history.
