I have a handwritten family tree showing that my ancestors are Thomas Stokes and Mary Bernard. A great grand daughter (?, possibly great, great) of their son John, named Caroline Stokes, married James Graham, whose son, William Dallas Graham is my great grandfather, born in 1845 in Warren County, OH.
