Just east of this location along the Quantico Creek was the plantation known as Graham Park.
This property was patented by John Graham (1711-1787), who came to Virginia from Scotland
about 1733. Graham was known as the founder of Dumfries since the town sprang to life from
60
acres taken from his plantation in 1749. He was a successful merchant, trustee of Dumfries, and
County Clerk.
