1770- I discovered a record in 2006 in
the DAR Library in Wash. D. C.titled "The History of the
Graydon family"in a John Camp file. It is by an unknown
author and listed as "Generation III" apparently as stated "from
notes of John William Graydon, a grandson in 1887." He was the
son of William I have found no records for him or any
Graden/Grayden/Greydon/Graydon before 1792 in South Carolina.
There were a few Graydons in Virginia in 1790 and several
Graydons are listed as soldiers in the Revolutionary Army from
that state. He could just as easily have been a recent immigrant
to the colonies from England, Ireland or Scotland.
The latest information from Mark Graydon,
who is a direct descendent of Thomas says that Thomas is
emigrated to America from Lisnaskea in County Fermanagh,
Ireland. Mark had submitted his DNA for comparison with
known Graydon lines.
"There is a
very high probability that our Thomas is son of James Grayden b.
1735 d/ 1788-96 who lived in the village of Coolnagrane in 1756
(and perhaps Currin as 1767. Thomas is on several lists from the
region at that time (Poll of Electors 1788). He then disappears
from Irish records as far as I can see our Thomas shows up
purchasing land in Laurens Co., S. C. in 1792 but is not listed
on the census records there until 1810.
Also, from the DNA
testing it was discovered that our Thomas is not directly
descended from the Alexander Graydon family in PA (He is a
distant cousin of course) That family came from the Dublin area
(Co Kildare and Co Wicklow) and stem from a female Graydon woman
with a McCloghery father but Alexander kept his mother's
name." [email from Barbara Graydon - 9/9/2008]
The work was done by John and David Graydon of Toronto, Canada
who are the administrators of the Graydon DNA project.
Some of his further comments state that Mark Graydon descends
"from the Lisnaskea family group as do I and very small number
of other Graydons in Ontario. What's more, the exact match
tells us there is a 93% chance our common ancestor is James b.
1735. ....There is little doubt this is none other than your
Thomas of South Carolina! Since he disappears from the Irish
records between 1788 and 1796, I assumed he had died, but there
is a second possibility - he emigrated to America. You'll
also note there is a question mark regarding Thomas's relation
to James b<1735 and his two other sons since there is no
record that explicitly connects Thomas to them. However,
there is no doubt that Thomas was a brother of John and William
since he is mentioned in the same townlands as are they."
David Graden dave.graden@comcast.net
One document on William Norwood Graydon,
the son of Sterling E. Graydon Jr., states that "the first
ancestors of the family to locate in this country came from
Ireland and England." This record, however, has several errors
that leaves this statement suspect. [Hemphill, p.198-99]
However, the Graydon name does seem to have a root in Ireland at
some point in history.

1818- Some time, I assume after he married,
William Graydon found a career as a farmer, school teacher and
surveyor. He apparently was well educated and was known Greek
and Latin scholar. He was employed by the Government for a
period of twenty five years. He assisted in
surveying the reservations for the Creek Indians. "He was a staunch Democrat. He was
opposed to secession. Religiously, was a Universalists.
Was paralyzed in left side with symptoms of apolplexy.
Was a good English scholar. Had some distinctions in
Mathematics. Was a great reader of Scott's works; found great
preference with him. Was a member of the G. T. Served
six months in the War of 1812.

These records of the descendents of William
Green Vinson comes from the records of James Lynch. I only
suspected a marriage of a daughter to W. G. Vinson based on his
listing in the probate records of Thomas Graydon. The following
record confirms my hunch lends support to the other marriages in
my mind.

[James P. Lynch, III;
jplynch@crosslink.net]
1843 - Asberry Terry & wife received an
advancement of their share of Thomas's estate in 1841. When the
final settlement was made in 1843, Asberry Terry & his present
wife received this share. One researcher says that "this indicates
that his first wife (Graden) had died between 1841 and 1843 and he
had remarried." There is a family legend that Asberry married two
Graydon sisters. Nancy shows up in the will of Thomas Graydon in
1840 but "Winnie" doesn't and should be listed as the wife of
Asberry in the will. If Nancy does die between 1828 and 1840 it
makes perfect sense that the advance and payment would be
uncontested since he marries the other younger sister. Asberry
Terry researchers say, as does a marriage record in 1828, that
Asberry marries a "Nancy Gray (Graydon, was written next to Gray
in brackets)." The "Nancy Graden" that shows up in the probate
records, who had married Asbury Terry, is only listed by name even
though deceased. "Nancy Graden" I propose, is I believe a means
used to reserve part of the estate for the only child of Nancy.
Nancy Terry, should only be 12 to 13 years old and probably living
with her father. The young Nancy should be entitled to her
mother's share of the estate along with "Winnie" as the wife of
Asberry Terry. Robert Y. H. Terry, son of John McDowell Terry,
stated in a letter in 1906 factually that Nancy had a child named
Nancy who married a Anderson and that Asberry's second wife was
"Winnie" Graydon." [R. Y. H. Terry]
