Looking for the arms of Graham Menteith

[anguilla1980]

That certainly helps very much, thank you! My genealogy goes Graham Esk, Netherby < Graham Menteith < Stewart < etc. on back, and I still have allot to learn!

For nearly a century it was a misconception in my family that we were directly descended from Graham Claverhouse (John Graham, Viscount Dundee) but after my father died I did some research and found out they were just cousins and I only share a 19th great grandmother with them.

After a quick read online and it looks like the line of the Earls of Menteith died out as none of the 8th Earls children from his 3rd marriage ever had children. Looks like my line from Malise Graham, 1st Earl Menteith (my 17th great grandfather) is the only one left.

My 8th great grandfather, Sir George Graham "of Netherby 2nd Baronet of Esk", had a son Henry who immigrated to America before dying in 1684 in Hartford, Connecticut. That's where my family picks up in America.

Ha, wonder what it takes to lay claim to a vacant Earldom lol! I have one thing none of my American cousins have which is I'm a citizen of the U.K. by birth so I imagine I'm one of the few who could even claim it. Oh it's fun to dream, not that anything is left of the estates but the title could be cool.
