Orange County (formed 1752 from Bladen, Granville, and Johnston) Notes: 1. Deed books from 1752 through 1781 were, for the most part, destroyed by a Loyalist during the Revolutionary

War. Exceptions are: Deed Book 1, June 1755-June 1756; Deed Book 2; deeds brought in for re-recording for 1752-1781 (a fairly small percentage of the originals) as well as deeds 1782-85; deeds that were recorded in the court minutes as well, for 1752-1768 and 1793 (now in NC Archives; abstracted below by Weeks.)

2. In 1766, a John Jacob Gramer sold 100 to William Savage in Orange County. A John Grammer was in the Militia defending against the patriots during the Battle of Alamance in 1771. A John Grammer received a land grant in Tennessee for service in the Continental Line of North Carolina, enlisted in Orange County. These three mentions are the only mentions I have found of any Grammers in North Carolina.

3. Senator John and his brother William arrived in Illinois around 1811-12, the same time the Tripp familiy arrived there. Prior to that, the Tripps were in Georgia (1805-1811), and before that they were in Orange (now Alamance) County, North Carolina. The first known record of Nicholas Tripp in Georgia was a land purchase in 1759. Could there have been a connection between

• A John Gramme lived here in the early 1700s. All records for him in the area are consistent in spelling it without the final "R.", so it appears that he is not one of our Grammers. I checked county records for Grammers, but all marriages, wills, and probates prior to 1833 have been destroyed.

on William's line. Rose Mary Orr, professional genealogist of Vienna, Illinois, examined these papers in 1992 and "there isn't a shred of proof there. There may have been at one time; they say most of the early proofs have been lost."1 This application states that William Grammer was b. 1774, probably Pennsylvania; d. 1817 [incorrect]; m. 1797 Jane, b. 1779, d. 1807 Illinois [incorrect]. It also states that William was in Logan County, Kentucky in 1800. From Rose Mary Orr, May 12, 1992: "In application of Sarah Louise Balsly states that proof was `family papers and letters in Sarah Nimmo Zimmerman's possession.' We have no idea where they are now. I have a letter from Dr. John Ellis, enclosing a letter from Mrs. Zimmermann in 1964 where she appears to have no letters etc. At any rate my feeling is that Betsy Alden Mangold who was born 1874 dau of Sarah Caroline Tripp b. 30 May 1838 could very well have had proof from her grandmother who died in 1877. Sarah Caroline could very well have known the origins of the Grammers."

• One family member seemed to think that Dr. Joel was in the Civil War, but that is unlikely since he died in 1861 in Nevada Territory (the Civil War started officially on April 12, 1861). Just in case, I checked the National Archives, which has no record of a Civil War pension for his heirs. Joel is not listed in any of the Jackson or Union County rosters of Civil War soldiers. He is not listed in the National Archives as having either a pension or a military record for the Mexican War.

• The Church of the Brethren (Dunkard) Library in Elgin, Illinois has no church records for Union County, Illinois. They have obituaries starting in 1851, but nothing on Grammers. They have no church records for Kentucky, and only one church record for Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, for that of the Conestoga Congregation. They do have a few family histories (but the researcher said that none appeared to have Grammers as the direct line--I should probably check this in person some day). They suggested contacting the library at Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown, Pennsylvania 17022 since it serves as the archives for Dunkard congregations located in eastern Pennsylvania.

• Aldridge Family Genealogy (author not on manuscript). Family History Library, US and Canadian Film Area #0967478.

• What about Washoe Valley Graves??? Franktown Cemetery for Grammer graves, per Guy Louis Rocha: “According to Miss Nona Parkin, who has done a cemetery survey of Nevada, only six of approximately three hundred markers are readable, and none of them are Katherine Grammer’s. The reason why the cemetery is a secret is, according to Miss Parkin, is that there is a large quantity of gold buried somewhere in it. I do find that hard to believe, but who knows. Franktown as a community no longer exists, The area is now primarily large ranches and estates. A devastating flood destoryed all remnants of the early settlement.”
