Comment by Robert Archie McGraw on July 29, 2014 at 10:59am: My McGraw research took me back to Aurther McGraw from Ireland about 1682 to either North or South Carolina. Appears his son(s) were in the Regulator Rebellion of the mid 1700's. Then to Tenn. territory and then on to Southwest MS.

Comment by Dolores McGrath,Faubert on February 13, 2013 at 7:31pm: HI! I am Dolores McGrath Faubert, and have been researching my family of McGrath (McGraw) for over 10 years. The furthest I have gone is Michael Stephen, McGrath , Cork ,Ireland or Tipperary Ireland. I have not been able to find the boat that he might of crossed and who he came with. This is here-say but apparently he would have crossed with brother but we have no information on that at all to confirm that. My gr. gr. gr. gr.was Michael Stephen (Steven) McGrath from Ireland and apparently came of the boat in Quebec city . He was in Tracadie, New Brunswick and was one of the founders of Tracadie Sheila, New Brunswick ,Canada. If anyone has information please contact me . doreendo@hotmail.com

Comment by Mona McGraw on June 24, 2011 at 11:51am: We have a great family history back to the 1700's. My five times great-grandfather is Martin McGraw, Sr. He was married to Margaret (Polly) ??. We can't find anything past this point. Martin must have come from somewhere. We've checked ship manifests and all points of entry and have come up with nothing. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Mona
