James Wall , moved to Missouri<P> Lucy Harriet and William Washington Spainhour were siblings; Isaac Spainhour was their first cousin.<P> Note: These families have been pieced together partly from family information and partly from census records. We're not entirely sure we have all the right children with each brother. In particular, Joshuanna Felicia should appear in the 1840 census record, but there is not a corresponding child of the right age with either Christian Heinrich or Johann Gottfried. Is there another brother yet who is her father? There are a few other people named Grabs who appear in burial or census records who probably belong to this family too. Note however that the name Grubbs is sometimes confused with Grabs. If anyone can help here, we'd be most grateful.<P> <HR> <H4>Fifth Generation</H4> Children of Levin Grabs and Evaline Flynt<BR> Susan Grabs (1848-1922) m. <a href="clayton.html">William Franklin Clayton</a> (1828-1885), his second wife<BR> Mary Elisabeth Grabs (1852-1937) m. <A HREF="fogle.html">Augustus Gottlieb Fogle</A> (1820-1897)<BR> Frances Augusta Grabs (1855-1930) m. <A HREF="transou.html">Rufus Edward Transou </A> (1854-1915)<P> ----------<P> Children of James Israel Grabs.and Gazille Ellen Glasscock<BR> Ellen Dundena Grabs (1859-1934) m. <A HREF="spainhr.html">William Winfield Spainhour</a> (1854-1918)<BR> Flora Evelyn Grabs (1860-1926) m. <A HREF="conrad/html">Julius F.
