It is really something to sing and dance about.
Dig up those old bones and get them dancing!

Change the two party system
so people against something like abortion
but for something like environmental protection never again get bigger and badder storms
and two bankrupting wars instead.

Make the Electoral College a permanent government body with seat distribution proportional to the party tally in each state and give it the right to approve cabinet members and under secretaries instead of the US Senate!

Graham 1

: Graham of Abercorn, Graham of Dalkeith, Graham of Dundalf, Graham of Kincardine, Graham of Menteith

William de Graham (Grantham) of Abercorn and Dalkeith (a 1127, 1147)

The ancestry shown for William is uncertain but it seems that he moved to Scotland about the time that King David I came to the throne (1124) and as David and his Queen (Matilda, whose mother was Judith, dau of Lambert, Count of Lens) are known to have brought many Flemish lordlings in their entourage, it is thought likely that, although he was designated "de Graham" (probably Grantham in Lincolnshire), William was of Flemish origin. The legend seems fanciful that he was descended from an early Pictish warrior called Graeme. There is little support for the view that he was a son of William de Tancarville or Tankerville, the Chamberlain, information on whose family is somewhat clouded (see here and here). The following seems plausible.

Peter de Graham of Dalkeith

Sir Henry de Graham of Dalkeith (a 1159)

Sir Henry de Graham of Dalkeith (a 1203)
Some sources show 2 rather than 3 generations of Henrys.

Sir David de Graham of Dundaff (a 1244)

m Agnes

BP1934 Montrose and TSP Montrose disagree here as BP1934 inserts an additional generation of a Sir David of Dundaff (which we follow) and shows that David as husband of Annabella of Strathearn whom TSP shows as wife of SIr Patrick of Kincardine. There is therefore some difference in allocation of children, the most 'important' one possibly being the John who became Earl of Menteith.

Sir David Graham of Dundaff (d c1270)

Various sources indicate that his wife was Annabella, daughter of 4th Earl of Strathearn. TSP (Strathearn) specifically contradicts this and reports "the evidence is clear that she was the wife of his son Sir Patrick".

(iii)

Sir John Graham, 9th Earl of Menteith (d c06.03.1346-7)

BP1934 merely identifies this son as Sir John, living in 1317. TSP (identifying him as a younger son of Sir Patrick by Annabella of Strathearn) reports a suggestion that he was the Sir John who became Earl of Menteith through his marriage.
