Charles Woodman Fuller died on 7 October 1937 at Calgary, Alberta, Canada, at age 76⁵ and was buried on 10 October 1937 in the Carbon town cemetery.⁶
     When his father, PW, enlisted in the army 18 June 1861 in Ohio, the plan was his pregnant wife would take the children (George 9,Myron 4, Mary A. 1 and 5 month old Nackey E.) to her parents home in Barnard, VT. There certainly were trains operating in the USA before this time, so we assume that Zilpha was traveling to her parents home when Charles was born on the way. In one of his letters while in the war, dated 7 Aug 1861, PW said "Kiss to the little ones for me and if the Baby is a boy, call his name Charles W.". We know that she continued on to Vermont and presumably her parents home, as this is where PW went after the war.^7,8

Early Life
We can follow his earlier life through the movements of his father as a Baptist Minister to various small communities. We are sure that after birth he and the rest of the family traveled to Barnard, VT and lived close to Zilpha's parents. In 1863 he was in Vershire and 1865 in Groton, VT. In 1868 he moved to North Troy, VT and in 1872 the family moved to Reynolds where his father was the Baptist Minister in Long Prairie, MN and where Charles would have spent his teen age years.^9,10,11 5 July 1881, Charles bought the S1/2 of SE1/4 of Sec 29, Twp 130, R 34 for $100. This 80 acres connected directly to the 160 acres that PW had purchased 10 April 1882.¹² The on 6 June 1885 census shows Charles and Hattie, with Allen 5, Jessie 3, and Annie 0, living near Grey Eagle, MN. On the 12 May 1885 Charles and Hattie sold the 80 acres purchased in 1881 for $300 (they carried $150 mortgage) to Van Coil of Birch Lake, MN.^13,14

St. Paul, MN
It has been reported that after his wife died in 1890, Charles' house burned down and the children went to live with grandma Wade and he moved to St. Paul.¹⁵ The 1895 census shows them living with his parents and new son Harry as well as Jesse and Annie. The old City Directories for St. Paul show CW working as a car operator and other positions for the Twin City Rapid Transit Company from 1895 to 1900. From 1901-03, Charles worked for the city as well as the James Forrestal Co and lived at 840 Marion Street. Oddly enough the 1900 census shows the family in two locations, one take June 5 and the other June 15. The census reports show that Grace was operating a boarding during these years.^16,17

Move To Canada
Dora was born in Calgary in Oct 1904 and we know from his homestead papers that the family lived just outside Carbon, Alberta, Canada on the NW Sec 2, Twp 29, Rng 23 W4 continuously from Nov 1904 until March 31, 1908, when he made application for land ownership. His land title for this quarter section was granted 23 June 1908 and he was granted Canadian citizenship 23 April 1908. Life was difficult in the beginning; the house was made from logs and they planted big gardens and had a large root cellar to keep vegetables over the winter. There were plenty of rabbits and prairie chickens for hunting and CW went to Calgary a few times to work. At some point in time Charles acquired the NE11, Twp29, Rng23 W4. This quarter section bordered on the ravine down to the river below. The area along the river contained several coal mines and CW started the 'Fuller' mine and extracted coal from this mine for many years. They started small as he would haul a load to Calgary and bring back supplies. Everything came in barrels, rice, beans, coffee, flour and dried fruit. In 1916 Charles expanded the mine and had a rail system where ponies pulled the cars in and out of the mine and a cable winch system driven by horses pulled the cars up the hill to a tipple which dumped the coal into horse drawn wagons. Charles built a house at the top of the hill where the family stayed. He also built a two story rooming house down on the flats below the mine, where the miners stayed and where there was always a big family atmosphere, especially at meal time as this is where the family ate as Grace did the cooking and all the work with the help of her girls. In 1923 the railroad connected Carbon and it went along the river near the mines. Charles made the decision to expand his operation and put in a rail spur and a system where rail cars could be loaded directly from the mine. He borrowed money and mortgaged everything he owned.^18,19,20,21

Disaster Strikes The Family
Harry received a homestead option on a quarter section of land near Acme, because he was a WWI veteran. In the beginning he used this land to grow vegetables for the family as he and his wife lived close to the mine where he worked. In 1923 Jesse was murdered and although there was an inquest and a coroner's investigation that included 16 witnesses the jury found that the wounds were caused by an unknown person. There has even been a book written about this murder, however is has gone into the books as an unsolved homicide. Charles and his boys used the borrowed money and built the rail spur and were building the new entrance to the Fuller mine when the mine ran out of coal. Everything was lost and Charles was left with nothing. They decided to build a house on Harry's homestead and spent a great deal of time and money with this plan and even to the extent of living on this new farm. The family helped build a barn and it was nearly complete in the fall of 1928. At that time, Harry had his arm in a sling because of an injury in one of the mines and was therefore off work. On 7 Oct 1928, Harry drove to Carbon with his horse drawn wagon filled with sacks of potatoes. On the way he had to ford the creek and when he did not arrive, a search party found him dead in the river by the ford. The conclusion was that the wagon had hit a rock and as the horses lunged forward the potatoes shifted and knocked Harry down in such a way that one of the wheels ran over his head. He died in the hospital the next day. Some time after, Charles found that Harry had not fulfilled his obligation under the homestead contract and in fact did not have title to the land, so upon his death the land and all improvements reverted to the government. In1929 Charles, Grace and the two boys at home moved back to Carbon and eventually to a little old house down by the river on the flats by his old mine where he retired. They seemed content as they enjoyed visiting neighbours in their one horse small carriage. Grace died prematurely in 1932 at the age of 66 and Babe and Ralph batched for awhile with their father until his death.^22,23,24,15

     Grace Déchanet was born on 22 February 1868 at Wabasha, Minnesota, USA.^1,2 She was the daughter of Pierre "Alfred" Déchanet and Isabella "Elizabeth" Cratte.

Pulaski Woodman Fuller died on 24 January 1897 at Long Prairie, Todd, Minnesota, USA, at age 73⁴ and was buried there on 26 January 1897.^4,5
     

We assume that PW traveled to Charleston SC about 1838, where his father was sent for health reasons, however died prior to 1840. We next find PW in the 1840 census in Andover, MA at the age of 17, where his mother, Mary H. is listed as the head of the household. We have not been able to account for his movements for the next two years. lived on 1 June 1840 at Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.⁶

We are able to follow the family movements and his occupation through their earlier years by way of published City Directories, birth records of their children and USA Census data. We know that in 1847, Lowell MA, he was a Spinner working for Hamilton Print (fabric) Works; 1848-9, Lowell MA a colporteur (seller of religious material); 1850, Leominster, MA a bookseller (he is also listed as a labourer on the 1850 census; 1853, Lowell, MA a hostler (stableman-horses); 1855-7, Fall River, MA a labourer and an auctioneer.^7,8,9

Pulaski enlisted and was mustered in on 18 June 1861 at Camp Dennison, Cincinnati, Ohio, USA; Company "E", 6 Ohio Infantry.¹⁰ He mustered out and ended his service on 23 June 1864 at Camp Dennison, Cincinnati, Ohio.¹⁰ During PW's pension application and fact finding process he stated in an affidavit that he was recovering from injuries at a hospital in Kentucky when a doctor told him that he would never be able to go on long marches again. Therefore he applied for a discharge and instead received a leave of absence and ordered to home. Buried in his large army pension file were two pages with PW's pension ID at the top and the following account: “All charges of desertion prior to March 21, 1864 against this man are removed. He was treated in Regimental Hospital Oct 10, 1861 for boil; Feb1, 1862 for rheumatism and March 31, 1862 for constipation and entered No. 8 General Hospital, Bowling Green, KY., November 7, 1862 with acute rheumatism, disposition not stated. He was arrested March 3, 1864 by Provost marshal 2^nd Dist. VT and delivered March 4, 1864 at Military Post Brattleboro, VT. He was tried before a general court martial for desertion, specification in this that he did desert from the hospital in Bowling Green, KY. He eemained absent until apprehended at Vershire, Orange Co. in the state of Vermont, and returned to the Regiment April 18, 1864. He was found not guilty and thereupon acquitted. The proceedings, findings and acquittal were approved and promulgated in G.O. No.29 Hd Ins 3^rd Div 4 A.C. dated April 30, 1864. The date when this man absented himself from the hospital and his whereabouts from that date to date of his arrest, cannot be ascertained from records.” The document is signed by R.C. Drum 'Adjutant General' but not dated.¹⁰ He was The career as a Baptist Minister consumes his life through the 1860s, 70s, 80s and into the 1890s. He and his family appeared on the 1860 Federal Census for Hamilton County, Columbia TWP, PO Montauk, Ohio. His occupation is shown as a Baptist Minister. In the Ohio State [Baptist] Annual, 1860-61, he appeared as an ordained minister in Milford, Hamilton Township. He is first listed as a pastor of Vershire Baptist Church in Barre Association, Vermont, in 1863 following the death of Rev. C.J. Rugg. He resigned in 1865 and became pastor of Groton Church with a salary of $400/yr with 48 church members. By 1867 the congregation had grown to 100 and his salary was $500. He left this situation 1 March 1868 -"all members do not support the minister". In 1870 he was listed as pastor of North Troy Church in the Danville Association minutes. He had been assigned to write the 'circular letter (annual report) for the association to the state annual meeting. In 1871 this church was unlisted, but during this time he was pastor at Braintree, VT, which was also unlisted in 1872. in 1872.^11,12 He was In an affidavit in connection with his army pension application dated 5 May 1890, he states “As a regular ordained minister of the Gospel, I have served in the following churches [he then lists the ones above and goes on]. In October 1872 I was appointed by the “Baptist Home Mission Society of New York - A Missionary and stationed at Long Prairie, Todd Co., MN.” The Baptist Historical Society states that in1872 PW was initially sent to Long Prairie and paid $100 for 26 weeks work as a missionary pastor. He was instrumental in establishing the first Baptist church in Long Prairie MN, and served as its first pastor from 1872 as well as many other churches in the area, including Sauk Centre, Kandiyohi, Maple Hill, Otto, and Lake Amelia, were he preached the opening sermon at the annual association meeting on the text Romans 8:16. between 1872 and 1883 at Long Prairie, Minnesota, USA.^13,10,14 He was In the spring of 1884, Rev. P.W. Fuller was installed pastor [Kasson, Dodge Co., MN] and the church gives evidence of life and vigor. A Sunday school had been maintained, and serves as an active factor in the up building and maintenance of church interests. In 1886 he was at Money Creek Church - “a difficult field; distances between stations are long and roads rough - progress is slow. A new Sunday School and preaching station have been established in a need neighbourhood.” This church had four outstations and a membership of 56 when he arrived and an average attendance of 119 when he left (this is a missionary field). PW, in 52 weeks preached 110 sermons, conducted 87 prayer meetings and made 538 visits. In Oct 1886 he resigned and moved to St. Paul. between 1884 and 1890 at Kasson, Dodge, Minnesota, USA.^10,15,16,17

PW made application at the St. Cloud, MN Land Office for a homestead (NE32, Twp130, R34, W5) on 10 April 1882 and made the final payment of the homestead fee of $4 on 21 Nov 1882. He received his Homestead Patent 24 Nov 1883 and sold this quarter section 26 Oct 1886 for $800 (subject to two mortgages). A local historian, O.B. De Laurier wrote an article in the Long Prairie Leader, October 17, 1935, entitled “Township History - Iona”. He describes the history of the area and that homesteaders came into the area and that the Township Board established the town of Odessa on 6 Jan 1881. The writer goes on to say that a meeting was held at the house of Pulaski W. Fuller in Section 32, which formed part of the town. “Mr. Fuller served as the clerk of the meeting and was elected the first town clerk.” Apparently the community to settled on the name Odessa as many of them were Germans from Russia and the lengthy article goes on to say that the community had been advised that the name 'Odessa' had already been used for another community and they would have to change that name. He states that P.W. Fuller, the first town clerk had been active in the organization of the town, was the Baptist minister. “He was a scholarly man, and well versed in classical learning and familiar with the current affairs of the day.” “On March 8, 1881, at the first annual meeting, it was voted to change the name to 'Iona' and it seems probable that the Rev. Pulaski W. Fuller had something to do with the selection of that name also. The original of the name is a small island of the Hebrides group [he then gives the history of that group] and it seems to the writer that Mr. Fuller was the one more likely to see the significance attached to the name than any of the others.”.¹⁸

PW's name is listed in the Saint Paul Daily News for Oct 25, 1892 under a heading "Pensions" which is just a list of names. We know from his pension file that he received an invalid pension from the army for $6/mo effective on 8 January 1889,after sending the pension board many affidavits from both himself and doctors who treated him.^19,20 He applied for an increase to his pension on 15 February 1895 and this was rejected on 5 May 1896. One gets the feeling that they had very little money near the end of his life. As a final note on the pension file, it contained a great number of affidavits and testimonials to support a widow's pension from the army. It is recorded that Zilpha received her last $8 for the month of April 1901 as she died 1 June, 1901.^10,21

     Pierre "Alfred" Déchanet was born on 1 March 1839 at Marcilly-en-Bassigny, Haute-Marne, France.His father was Sébastien Constantin and his mother was Marie Jeanne Tenaille. We know that this family soon moved about 7 km, because Alfred's sister Asulite, was born in Bonnecourt in 1840. Alfred grew up in this town because Bonnecourt is shown as his birth place on several documents after he arrived in America, including his army discharge certificate and his death certificate.^1,2 He was the son of Sebastien Constantin Déchanet and Marie Jeanne Tenaille.

He married Isabella "Elizabeth" Cratte, daughter of Etienne Olivier 'Oliver' Cratte (Crête) Sr. and Sarah Mary "Sally" Graham, on 23 March 1865 at Wabasha, Minnesota, USA.³

Alfred died on 7 November 1916 at Wabasha, Minnesota, USA, at age 77^4,2,5 and was buried on 9 November 1916 at St Felix Cemetery, Wabasha, Minnesota, USA.^6,7
     At the age of 14 he emigrated from the Le Havre France, on the Samuel M. Fox arriving on 10 November 1852 at New York, USA. Nicolas Guyot age 20, who will later play and important roll in the family, was also on this ship.⁸

On 11 July 1860 Alfred appeared on the 1860 Federal census at Findlay, Hancock, Ohio, USA.Alfred is listed as a 20 year old labourer living in a French household along with a Peter (Pierre) Dechanet who is listed as a 60 year old physician. Originally we thought that this Peter must be his father, however we now know this to be not true. Alfred's sister, Asulite, married Nicholus Guyot on 26 May 1859 in this same county of Hancock and likely the town of Findlay, Ohio.^9,10

Alfred entered the American Civil War on 29 April 1861 when he enlisted as a Private in Company "I" of the First Regiment of Minnesota Volunteers, 2nd Brigade, 2nd Division at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, USA.^11,12 He was admitted to the 2nd Division of Depot Field Hospital near Potomac Creek, Virginia on 20 April 1863 with a gunshot wound to his hand which was the result of an accident..He ended military service when he was mustered out on 5 May 1864 at Fort Snelling, Minnesota, USA,because the term of his enlistment had expired. A note on these papers says that he would be accepted by the army if he were to reenlist. It also states that he was 22 years old and 5 foot 7.25 inches high with black hair.^13,14,12 In October 1880,Alfred started receiving a monthly pension of $4, because of the wounds to his right hand, which lasted until his death.¹⁵ She brought four children to this marriage and with an addition of eight children with Alfred, the house must have been full. The census records show that this family stayed in Wabasha, Minnesota until the death of the parents. The 1880 census shows a total of 10 children in the household. Of the 8 children fathered by Alfred, only 2 girls survived to have families of their own, thus the "Dechanet" name from this line in America ended with Alfred.⁹ According to his daughter Lucy's birth record on 11 July 1870 he was a rafts man. During this period of time the Mississippi River was the highway of the USA Midwest and Wabasha was a centre for this activity. There was a grain rolling mill in town as well as a lumber mill and the steam ships moved cargo and pushed booms of lumber up and down the river. The people who worked in this industry on the river were called rafts men.^16,17 His death record indicated that he was a retired trapper and the 1905 census says that he was a gardener, like most retired folks of the time.^2,9

     Isabella "Elizabeth" Cratte was born on 5 February 1838 at Mendota, Minnesota, USA.^1,3 She was the daughter of Etienne Olivier 'Oliver' Cratte (Crête) Sr. and Sarah Mary "Sally" Graham. Isabella "Elizabeth" Cratte was baptized on 28 June 1839 at St Peter's Church, Mendota, Minnesota, USA.^4,5 She married Theophilus "Joseph" Lachapelle, son of Pierre Lachapelle and Mary Louise Brisbois, in 1854 at Wabasha, Minnesota, USA.²

He married Pierre "Alfred" Déchanet, son of Sebastien Constantin Déchanet and Marie Jeanne Tenaille, on 23 March 1865 at Wabasha, Minnesota, USA.⁶ Isabella "Elizabeth" Cratte was buried on 26 July 1885 at St Felix Cemetery, Wabasha, Minnesota, USA.⁷ She died on 26 July 1885 at Wabasha, Minnesota, USA, at age 47.^8,9
     As of 23 March 1865,her married name was Elizabeth Déchanet.¹⁰

     Lieutenant Sumner Fuller was born on 3 June 1799 at Newton, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA, and was the nineth child of Deacan Joseph and Elizabeth who had a totol of thirteen children of which only about six lived to have children of their own.^2,3,4 He was the son of Deacon Joseph Fuller and Elizabeth Bacon. 7 June 1813, Sumner, sister Mindda and brother Jeremiah were named in a document filed at the Probate Court after their father's death for the purpose of naming Henry Craft as guardian of these three children who were over fourteen years of age. A similar document was filed for the three children under the age of fourteen.⁵ Lieutenant Sumner Fuller married Mary Hervey Greenleaf, daughter of Josiah Greenleaf and Mary Hervey, on 30 April 1822 at Andover, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.⁶ Lieutenant Sumner Fuller died on 3 June 1839 at Charleston, Charleston District, South Carolina, USA, at age 40. A search through the South Carolina archives did not produce a death certificate, will nor buriel place.^7,8,9
     Lieutenant Sumner Fuller was confirmed on 31 August 1817 in the Second Church of Newton.⁴ His school record at the Phillips Academy in Andover indicates that he was admitted on 9 Dec 1817 and left in August 1818. His subjects would have been Latin, Bible or Religion, Philosophy, possibly German or French, English and one or more of the classics. Boys on scholarship might have had the opportunity to learn candle making, carpentry, housekeeping or farming.^10,11 The 1820 census shows the Josiah Greenleaf family in Andover as well as Mrs. Phebe Abbot, where Sumner Fuller boarded in 1817-18, so we may assume that this is the time and place that he met his future wife, Mary H. Greenleaf.¹²

In the spring of 1819 Sumner Fuller along with his brother Joel and four other young people taught Sunday school to thirty children in the first Sabbath School at the Second Church of Newton.¹³ On 18 November 1821Sumner was discharged from that Second Church in Newton and admitted to the Old South Church in Boston on 21 Jan 1822 (where his son PW was baptized in 1823).^14,4 He was dismissed from the Old South Church in Boston on 16 November 1823to the Phillips Street Church in South Boston.¹⁵ 10 December 1823 "The Evangelical Congregational Church of South Boston" (also known as the Phillips St. Church) was formed and Sumner Fuller is listed as one of the 13 founding Members. This publication dated 1832, indicates that Mary H. Fuller became a member on 8 Feb. 1824 and that both her and Sumner had been dismissed to another church [likely Andover where they later moved].^16,17

The 1821 Boston Tax List shows him residing in Ward 12, on Washington St. and the city directories show that after they were married he was listed as: 1822 a tallow chandler; 1823/25/26 as truckman in rear 740 Washington street. The 1828/29/30 showed he was a laborer and soap boiler living at the rear of 4th street, South Boston where his soap works was located. These entries show us that he was a Chandler or candle and soap maker, which was fairly new profession at this time.^18,1 In 1822,Sumner was recruited to the Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company, also known as the Military Company of the Massachusetts. His rank was ensign in the Third Regiment, Third Brigade, First Division, M.V.M., 1822-3, and lieutenant from 1824 to 1827 inclusive. He was honorably discharged from the Artillery Company on Sept. 4 1826.¹⁹

Sumner Fuller is listed as member (volunteer) of the 1827 Engine Company No. 12, of the Boston Fire Department which was located on Washington Street (as published in 1869).²⁰ He is also listed as being the treasurer of the South Boston branch of the American Tract Society in their 27 May 1929 publication. This organization was founded in New York in 1825 for the publication of religious material, and still exists today.²¹ Sumner and his family appeared on the census of 1830, ward 12, at Boston.²² 20 May 1830Sumner's name appeared as a contact in an ad in Boston Courier, when his father-in-law, Josiah Greenleaf, sold his house in Andover. Shortly after this Sumner moved his business to Andover as we know that son Edwin was baptized in Andover in 1831.²³ It was noted in an 1848 church publication that Mary H. Fuller was a surviving member of 'The Confession of Faith and Covenant of the South Church' in Andover and that she had become a member on 28 Feb 1834.

An 1882 publication that contained a biography of their son 'William Greenleaf Fuller, who was a famous American in his own right, indicates that in 1834, Sumner met with an almost fatal accident and was removed to Charleston SC for his health, where he died. The family must have moved to Charleston in 1837 or 1838 as two children were born in Andover in 1836 and one in Charleston in 1838. Sumner is listed in a Charleston City Directory (1840) as living in North St Phillips Street with a profession of Chandler. A search of the archives in Charleston has not found his death record. A note from the archives indicated that North Phillips Street in 1839 was not included in the Charleston County, and therefore we may never find his death or burial record.^24,25,26,27

     Mary Hervey Greenleaf was born on 22 July 1799 at Newburyport, Essex, Massachusetts, USA.^1,2 She was the daughter of Josiah Greenleaf and Mary Hervey.

     His mother died in 1805 when he was 4 years old and he and his sister Brigitte, were brought up by one of his mother's brothers by the name of Labbé. He was trained in Montreal as a blacksmith.¹

At the age of 23 he left Quebec to go west and was hired by the American Fur Co. for $700/yr (excluding board and room), to build traps and other tools at Prairie du Chien, Crawford, Wisconsin, USA.^1,13 In 1829'Oliver' was hired by the US Government to work exclusively with the Indians and in 1836 he was named "Armourer" [sic] for the Agency at St Peters (Mendota)" at a salary of $360 and later $600 per year because of his ability to repair guns as well as his normal blacksmith duties.. At that time there were seven Indian villages under his supervision: Wabasha, Red Wing, Little Crow, Old Black Dog, Old Pinishon, Sikz, Purcelin Lake and Calvon Lake. For the next many years he went from village to village repairing rifles, knives and the like; making traps and other tools that the Indians needed.¹⁴ On 16 August 1837he was a signatory to a petition sent to the president of the USA for restitution for lands they had settled between the falls of St Anthony and the mouth of the Minnesota River, which were to be taken for military reserve. dated at Mendota, Minnesota, USA.¹⁴

'Oliver' in his capacity of Blacksmith, was officially transferred to the Wabasha area where he built a shop and then a house on the banks of the Mississippi River. This place became known as 'Cratte's Landing' until the name was replaced when the town of Wabasha was officially named in 1843. on 10 July 1839. (an unknown value).^{15,16,17,18,19,20} On 11 October 1853, he was elected to the first Board of Commissioners for the County of Wabasha.²¹ Between 1854 and 1855, 'Oliver' served as Chairman of the Board of Commissioners for the Wabasha County.²² He along with Joseph Buisson, made the original town plat for the town of Wabasha, MN. in July 1854.²³

The USA census' shows that between 1850 and 1880 he lived in Wabasha where he worked and raised his family and during that time owned a great deal of land in the area. However he placed all his land in a Land Association and was far too honest to enjoy the profits of this association and ended with nothing. In his later years his eyes failed and died poor and nearly blind. He was always very active in the Catholic Church and Father Trobec on introducing Oliver, said 'this is one of the best Catholics in my perish'.^1,24

     Captain Duncan Graham was born in 1772 at the Highlands, Scotland, United Kingdom.He was well educated as demonstrated by his many letters. It has been reported that his parents were members of the Scottish nobility and that his emigration was a protest against the then current society.^1,2 He married Susanne Istagiwin Ha-za-ho-ta-win Pennishon, daughter of Jean Pennishon and daughter of Wapasha I, between 1796 and 1802 at Minnesota, USA.^3,4

Captain Duncan Graham died on 5 December 1847 at Mendota, Minnesota, USA. On 6 Dec. 1847 his body was initially placed in the Faribault family vault at Mendota and moved along with the other family members to the town of Faribault, MN in 1865.^5,6,7 He was buried in the Faribault Family Plot in 1865 at the Cavalry Cemetery, Faribault, Minnesota, USA.His grave marker read "Duncan Graham, Born in Scotland". That grave marker no longer existed in 2008, therefore may have been made of wood.^5,8,9,10
     He immigrated circa 1794to North America landing at York Factory on the Hudson's Bay coast where he then traveled south and was involved in the Selkirk Colony on the Red River where Winnipeg is today.^1,11 It was reported that he was a well known trader in the early days and in 1802was at the area of the St Peter's River, Minnesota, USA.^12,13

We know that he was a fur trader and built a trading post and did some trapping on Graham's Island at Devils Lake, ND. This Island is named after him and is a State Park today. The historical documents are contradictory as to the exact time that her build his trading post and lived on the island. Most of the historical references indicate that he was in this area after 1815 and others say that it was much earlier. His granddaughter says that he was an independent trader and not associated at the time with any company, which would mean that the timing was about 1809/11 because later fur traders needed a license and were governed by trading companies. However a grandson said that his mother was 12 at the time they left the island which would mean that he left the island in 1817. It is possible that he was on the island about 1810 and then again after 1815. One history book written in 1884 said that remnants of his old post were still visible on the island. The Indians called him 'Big Foot' and the island 'Big Foot's Island'. Europeans took Indian wives basically as a means of survival and it created a long term relationship with an established band. The downside for the trader was the Indian culture of kinship meant that family shared everything and what is yours is mine attitude, which made it hard for traders to have a stock of goods for trading.^{14,15,16,17,18}

During the 1812-1815 war Duncan Graham fought on the side of the British and in 1813 he was lieutenant and part of a force that was defeated by the American army lead by Col. Croghan at Lower Sandusky, Ohio.¹⁹ On 6 September 1814 Duncan Graham and a troop of Indians, forced Major Zachary Taylor to retreat, during his attempt to recapture the fort at Prairie du Chein Wis., at the battle of Credit Island opposite Davenport Iowa in the Mississippi River. In recognition of his roll in this action he was promoted to a captain.^20,21,22 At the end of the war he was initially barred from entering the USA, however he was eventually allowed to join his wife and children. H.H. Sibley claimed that he was given USA citizenship at some point.¹²

After the war he worked for the Hudson's Bay Company between 1815 and 1820.We have a copy of their ledger and see that he was advanced money at Montreal in 1815 and the last entry was made in 1820. We also have copies of many letters between Graham and HBC officials and between officials referencing Graham during this time period..^23,2 About this time he operated a trading post along the Red River at a place known at the time as Graham's Point, which later became the site of Fort Abercrombie.²⁴ On 1 February 1817 he wrote a letter from the Red River to Lord Selkirk asking for instructions which indicates that he was a trader likely on behalf of the Hudson's Bay Co.²⁵ During this time his work took him to the upper Red River near Traverse Lake where he had a post for the HBC.^26,27 The letters show that there was some friction between the company and Graham at this time as the furs were not as plentiful and the HBC was not allowed to trade in the USA. Graham left the HBC and joined the Northwest Company to set up a rival (but legal) post on or near Lake Traverse in 1820.^28,29

Their only son, Alexander, was born in Prairie du Chein, Wisconsin in 1821 and we know that he was living at Prairie du Chien, Crawford, Wisconsin, USA, on 26 June 1827as indicated in a short narrative of Graham's life in a Minnesota History book.^30,31 We know that he purchased trading items on 15 August 1835 at Mendota, Minnesota, USA,because we have a copy of the itemized purchases from the Sibley Trading Post papers.³² On 16 August 1837he was a signatory to a petition sent to the president of the USA for restitution for lands that they had settled between the falls of St Anthony and the mouth of the Minnesota River, which were to be taken for military reserve. at Mendota, Minnesota, USA.¹² He was likely present at the baptisms of his daughter Sarah and son Alexander at St Peter's Catholic Church. on 5 July 1839 at Mendota, Minnesota, USA.³³

In 1834 he retired to the Wabasha where he had family and then for a number of years was engaged in carrying the mail between Prairie du Chien and points as far north as the Red River of the North.^34,35 On 9 February 1843 he was acting postmaster at Wabasha, Minnesota, USA.³⁶ In 1843in an elaborate ceremony, Duncan Graham named the town of Wabasha MN, after his wife's grandfather, Chief Wapashaw I.^37,38

In 1910 the Historical Society of ND - Vol 3, published a picture of 3 of Graham's 4 daughters and in a biography of Duncan Graham on page 217 named all 4 daughters. These four daughters all married prominent men in the history of the State of Minnesota; they were listed as Mrs Alexander [Mary Elizabeth] Faribault, Mrs [Lucy Nancy] Joseph Buisson, Mrs Oliver [Sarah Mary] Cratte and Mrs James [Jane] Wells.³⁹
