I have located records of Richard Graham & Rachel Bond Hartley in the Adams Co, MS area. From there Richard moved to Avoyelles parish, La., in 1814 Richard purchased a plantation from James McLauglin. I find he is present for two of his daughters wedding and lose him in 1830.

Where does he come from. On one of the marriage certificats is states he is a Native of VA and the other of MS. I find him in the 1792 Spanish Census for the Mississippi Territory as head of household and untitled land.

Any information would be appreicated on Richard and Rachel. Rachel Bond was previously married to James (Jacob) Hartley in MS and her father-in-law, Solomon Whitley, was a witness to her marriage of Hartley.
