Anna Mariah "Annie" Walker (maiden name) was the second wife of James Graham (who she is buried next to.) She was born in Cape May Co., NJ; daughter of Ambrose Walker & Hannah Hand.

James Graham died in 1901 (he was much older than she.) In 1908, she married a James E. Birch (originally of Washington, D.C.)

Annie was 7 or 8 years older than her second husband and her age in her later years seemed "fluid." Her death certificate (info given by her second husband)has her birth year as 1867 -- and her age as 47 - WRONG! as her 1st child with James Graham was born in April 1878(she married James Graham 04 Jun 1877.)

Birth year on headstone is also wrong - it says 1859, but in 1860 census (enumerated in July 1860) her age was listed as "2" and her brother's age is 6 months.

"Husband: Ambrose Walker; Wife: Hannah; Children: Ann Mariah Walker; birth 12 AUG 1857 Cold Spring, Cape May, New Jersey"

1870 census (enumerated June 1870) Age 13
1880 census (June 1880) Age 23
1900 census (June 1900) Age 40 or 46 (hard to read census page & enumerator did not write in birth dates)
1910 census Age 50 (by now she was married to 2nd husband)
