Timeline Robert and George Jackson Graham

Sometimes it helps to make a timeline of events to connect people to one another overtime.  I offer this very short 13 year timeline to suggest a relationship connection between Robert Graham m. Ruth Smith and George Jackson Graham.

• Feb 1825 - Robert Graham husband of Christian dies in Hinds County, Mississippi (Hinds Co. MS Probate Records, 1822-1875)
• Mar 1827 - John Graham is appointed guardian of Robert Graham's minor children, which included George Jackson Graham and Robert Graham (Hinds Co. MS Probate Records, 1822-1875)
• Dec 1827 - disposition of Robert Graham's estate names George J. Graham and Robert Graham as minor heirs. (Hinds Co., MS. Probate, Inventory books, v 1 1822-1836)
• 19 Dec 1836 - Christian Graham gives the slave Aaron to her 2 youngest sons: Jackson Graham and Robert Graham (Scott Co., MS, Deed & Will Book A 1835 - 1839 part 1 p. 13)
• 28 Aug 1838 - Robert Graham and his wife Ruth Graham sell 163+ acres of land to Jackson Graham for only $200. (Scott Co., MS, Will and Deeds, A 1835-1839, Part 1, page 282-283)

While not definitive proof of a brotherly relationship, at the very least the Graham to Graham 1838 land sale suggests a family connection.
