This John Graham served in the Revolutionary War. He was a captain in Co. "G" of Colonel Peter Horry's Regiment.

There was another entry that showed he had hired a cart and two horses and provided forage for the horses, for the use of the regiment, from January through February 17, 1779. In 1792 he had land granted to him on the south side of Lake Swamp above the mouth of Joyner Swamp. In 1802 he served on the First Board of Commissioners in Conwayborough, South Carolina.
