Robert Graham - Jackson Parish, Louisiana

Three land registration records help to place Robert Graham in Jackson Parish from 1850 through 1859.

We already established that Robert Graham and family appear on the 1850 Census, in Jackson Parish, LA. 
And, that the family was counted on the 1860, Rapides Parish census, but it is these 3 land registration records that help to show that the family did indeed reside in Jackson Parish until late 1859.

Certainly the youngest children who were born in 1850s were born in Jackson Parish, Louisiana. And several of the older children born in Louisiana may also have been born in Jackson Parish.

  • Lucy Graham b. 1851
  • Mary Ann Graham b. 1853
  • Annie Graham b. 1855

The following 3 land registrations can be found online at the Bureau of Land Management, General Land Office Records

15 Jan 1858 Registration of Land Purchase in Jackson Parish, LA





7 Dec. 1859 Land Purchase Registration Jackson Parish, LA
