Whether John and Alexander were related is unknown.6
John GRAHAM Jr. died on 29 May 1842 in Calhoun County, Alabama.7 The following memorial was written in his honor: DIED--in Benton county, Ala., on the 29th of May 1842, JOHN GRAHAM, ESQ., in the 57th year of his age.
The deceased died suddenly from a pain in the chest. His family had returned from Church, one of whom he had engaged in reading the text from which the sermon had been preached, when in a moment he sunk from his chair, and his spirit fled away to God who gave life. Mr. G. was born in N. Carolina, where he resided until about 6 years ago, he removed to Ala., where he remained til his death. In his death a bereaved widow and ten children to mourn an irreparable loss. All his family (except his eldest son, a Baptist minister residing in the Sumter District ) reside near where he died. Mr. Graham was a man of strict morality from his youth. He was a man of good nature, established charity and affection for his fellow men. He resented an injury with mildness, and was seldom seen in passion…He trained his children to obedience yet seldom used the rod. His presence in his family was always received with the deepest reverence and respect.
When in his native State, for several years he served the people in matters of law, in 1829, he united himself with the Baptist Church and was soon after chosen Deacon, which office he filled with piety and zeal. He seldom had an enemy.
After removing to Alabama, he was called to fill his office again in the church. There he again secured to himself many valuable brethren and friends. He was benevolent and charitable in all his Christian views--a friend to Missionary purposes, with all the benevolent institutions of the day. He continued until his death, a man of deep piety, though his delicate, health prevented him from doing much in the cause of religion, over which he often expressed deep regret in private with his friends, as he did in his letters written to his son on the subject. The subject of religion engrossed the greater portion of his letters, many of which were lengthy.
He served as administrator of the estates of both Edmund and Nancy Brown, his in-laws. He came to Alabama in the mid-1830s and died in Calhoun County. At the time of his death he was living on the following land: W 1/2 of NE 1/4 of Section 24, Township 12 and Range 10E. He died intestate, leaving a widow and four children under 21.

The deceased died suddenly from a pain in the chest. His family had returned from Church, one of whom he had engaged in reading the text from which the sermon had been preached, when in a moment he sunk from his chair, and his spirit fled away to God who gave life. Mr. G. was born in N. Carolina, where he resided until about 6 years ago, he removed to Ala., where he remained til his death. In his death a bereaved widow and ten children to mourn an irreparable loss. All his family (except his eldest son, a Baptist minister residing in the Sumter District ) reside near where he died. Mr. Graham was a man of strict morality from his youth. He was a man of good nature, established charity and affection for his fellow men. He resented an injury with mildness, and was seldom seen in passion…He trained his children to obedience yet seldom used the rod. His presence in his family was always received with the deepest reverence and respect.
When in his native State, for several years he served the people in matters of law, in 1829, he united himself with the Baptist Church and was soon after chosen Deacon, which office he filled with piety and zeal. He seldom had an enemy.
After removing to Alabama, he was called to fill his office again in the church. There he again secured to himself many valuable brethren and friends. He was benevolent and charitable in all his Christian views--a friend to Missionary purposes, with all the benevolent institutions of the day. He continued until his death, a man of deep piety, though his delicate, health prevented him from doing much in the cause of religion, over which he often expressed deep regret in private with his friends, as he did in his letters written to his son on the subject. The subject of religion engrossed the greater portion of his letters, many of which were lengthy.
"Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord."
"Clasped in his Heavenly Father's arms,
He did forget his breath;
And lost his life amid the charms,
Of so divine a death."
Let me die the death of the righteous
and let my last end be like his."
"Clasped in his Heavenly Father's arms,
He did forget his breath;
And lost his life amid the charms,
Of so divine a death."
Let me die the death of the righteous
and let my last end be like his."

Jerusha HUMPHREYS
F, b. 1790, d. 16 October 1881
Jerusha HUMPHREYS was born in 1790 in Wake County, North Carolina, daughter of John HUMPHREYS III and Susannah Reynolds. John Humphreys (Humphries) was a very prominent citizen of Wake County from about 1765 to 1805 and served as county surveyor. Originally from Virginia, after living in North Carolina for many years, he moved to Dickson County, Tennessee about 1805. The family name is usually spelled Humphreys in Tennessee, but was almost always Humphries in North Carolina.1,2
Jerusha married Charles Augustus Halliburton, son of John Holloway Halliburton Sr. and Mary Humphreys, circa 1813 in Tennessee. The marriage produced one son, Andrew Jackson Halliburton. After the death of his father in the war and Jerusha's remarriage he stayed on in Tennessee with his Halliburton relatives when the others moved on to Alabama. He became a prominent citizen and something of a Halliburton family historian. There is a very interesting letter from him in the Halliburton family history where he talks about his mother's death in Texas and mentions Asa and Asa's first marriage to a Halliburton cousin also.3
Jerusha married Asa Anderson BROWN, son of Jesse Anderson BROWN and Obedience LEGGETT, circa 1815 in Dickson County, Tennessee.4,5
Charles died on 6 March 1815 in Haywood County, Tennessee, He had been wounded 8 Jan 1815 at the Battle of New Orleans just 15 days after the Treaty of Ghent was signed. Died two months later from his wounds when his son was only 5 months old. leaving Jerusha HUMPHREYS as a widow.3,6
She was probably the female age 26 to 44 listed in the household of her husband, Asa Anderson BROWN, in the 1820 Federal Census of Dickson County, Tennessee.7
Jerusha's father, John Humphreys, left a will which was probated in Dickson County, Tennessee about 1823. Jerusha (called Jerusha Brown), Asa and two sons are mentioned by name in the will. John appears to have been a well-off man and settled some scores in his will. He left Asa and Jerusha a slave he said that Asa stole from him and made some other unpleasant comments about his son-in-law. In the book, The History of Dickson County, Tennessee, the author says, "John Humphries, likewise a man of means, used one paragraph of his will to brand a no-good son-in-law a thief. Probably never summoning the courage while living to tell the young man exactly what he thought of him, Humphries described his in-law as being one who would steal if he had the opportunity, and had 'feloniously' stolen from him."8
Jerusha BROWN was named an heir in the will of her father, John HUMPHREYS III, dated on 16 September 1826 in Dickson County, Tennessee. ...daughter Jenisha [Jerusha] Brown to get $1.25...4,9,10
She was probably the female age 30 to 39 listed in the household of her husband, Asa Anderson BROWN, in the 1830 Federal Census of Bibb County, Alabama.11
Jerusha and Asa were members of the Enon Baptist Church in Bibb County. They were received into the church by their experience on the Saturday before the second Sunday in March 1838 along with J. C. D. Trott and his wife, Celia (Parker), Stephen Johnson, Emmaline Johnson, Betsey Johnson, Anna Rice, Nancy Brown, and Warren Parker. Received by letter at the same meeting were Sarah Parker, Martha Brown, and Asa Madison Brown. Asa and Jerusha presented a letter of dismisal in December 1838, apparently just before they left for Arkansas.12
She was probably the female age 40 to 50 listed in the household of her son, Asa Madison BROWN, in the 1840 Federal Census of Bibb County, Alabama.13
Jerusha HUMPHREYS appeared on a census, enumerated 24 July 1860, in the household of her son Asa Madison BROWN in San Saba County, Texas. She was recorded as Jerusha Brown, age 80, born North Carolina.14
Jerusha HUMPHREYS was a witness when her granddaughters, Nancy Caroline Beatrice BROWN and Jerusha Elizabeth BROWN, stood off an Indian attack at their father's home in 1863 in San Saba County, Texas. From San Saba County History, 1856-1983: "When Callie [Nancy Ann] was about six years old the men-folk knew the Indians were near and went to drive them away, leaving the women and young children alone. That night just after dark Callie looked through the cracks and saw an Indian dart behind a tree. They blew out the light and went to another unit of the house where they would be safer. Pet [Jerusha Elizabeth, age 18] barred the door and got a rifle and pistol. She pulled up a board in the floor and told her grandmother [Jerusha H. Brown] to take the small children and get under the floor. The moon was shining bright and Callie kept watching and saw the Indians darting from tree to tree and reported to Pet who stood guard with the guns. The dogs kept barking and after a while the moon went down, and the Indians left. Pet and Callie stood guard the rest of the night."15
When Asa Madison Brown's wife Emily died in 1865 Jerusha came to live with the family to take care of the children.15
Jerusha HUMPHREYS appeared on a census, enumerated 21 June 1880, in the household of her son Asa Madison BROWN in Precinct 5, Lampasas County, Texas. His was listed a Asa's mother, J. Brown, age 90.
Jerusha HUMPHREYS died on 16 October 1881 in San Saba, San Saba County, Texas.16
Jerusha's obituary was printed on 27 October 1881 in the Belton Journal newspaper, published in an unknown place , Texas. It read: "Mrs. Jerusha Brown, a very aged lady, died in San Saba county on the 16th instant, from the effects of a fall she had received a short time before." A similar report had appeared in the Galveston Daily News of 18 Oct 1881. This report included the statement that she was the mother of John H. Brown of San Saba, her name appearing as "Jarusio." The year of death on her tombstone is mistakenly listed as 1884.16
