Biography*  She lived in Cincinnati and spent her summers at Federal Hall in Boone Co., KY. Her heart was loyal to the North, and she had many thrilling adventures in Kentucky during the Civil War. One of the memorable occasions was when she raised the stars and stripes to the singing of "The Star Spangled Banner" over the grave of a Piatt who had fought with Washington in the Revolution; an act that was considered audacious in a Southern state.

An early newspaper(Cincincinati Enquirer June 25 1919) column detailing the death of her grandson Louis Carroll (no date) gives a nice biography. Martha Eugenia De Valcourt Piatt, who died in December 1903 in her ninetieth year at the residence of one of her daughters, widow of R.W. Carroll, and mother of the late Louis Carroll. This distinguished lady was born in Baltimore in 1813. Her father was Sieur Jean Baptiste Bernard De Valcourt head of a French family ennobled in 1775 by Louis XIV, and who came to Baltimore during the "Terror". Most of this Miss De Valcourt's girlhood was passed in the romantic and beautiful "Teche" country of Louisiana. She married Jacob Wycoff Piatt Cincinnati attorney and noted orator and came here to spend her summers at the Piatt Homestead called Federal Hall in Boone County, Kentucky. This was a pretentious stone mansion one of the first of that kind erected in that state years before there were ambitions in that direction of residence this side the river between the Miamis. She left to her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren many interesting relics of earlier days and other countries including documents signed by Louis XIV of France and some of General Washington's mahogany furniture, silverware and laces. Federal Hall is located near the Piatt Cemetery.

ChartsJOHN GRAHAM

Birth*circa 1800 Daniel Dees Graham was born circa 1800 at Jefferson County, GA; If he is the Daniel mentioned in his father's will of 1802 then he was just a child when father died. I am guessing at Jefferson County as a birthplace since that is where his father died. The fact that his father's will only left him one silver dollar makes me further suspect he was young.2 
 He was the son of David Daniel Dees and Elizabeth (?).1 
MARRIAGE*18 December 1822 He married Martha "Patsey" Daniels, daughter of Charles Daniels, on 18 December 1822.1,3

Death*24 May 1844 He died on 24 May 1844 at Edgefield District, SC; He was tried in March of 1844, sentenced to be hung in May. He had killed Barefoot in 1843. The reason Daniel was in SC was that he stole a Negro slave and took him to SC to sell. That is where he killed Barefoot, who came from Georgia to find him. Barefoot was apparently his accomplice in many illegal activities in the past. The newspaper article reporting on his execution relates that he said Abraham Hurt helped him with the murder of William "Billy" Barefoot.1 
Note He Three Daniel Dees Men

Based on the Dees family data on the web, Emanuel Dees had a son named Emanuel whom we shall call Emanuel II. Emanuel II had a son Daniel, Daniel had a son Daniel who is shown in the 1800 Census as Daniel Jr. Daniel Jr., had a son Daniel whom we will call Daniel III. Daniel III decided to call himself Daniel Graham.

Daniel Jr. left a will:

Jefferson Co. GA Wills (17771893)

Note in the will, dated January 8, 1802 that John, Hilliard and Daniel were minors. Also note the North Carolina connection by; “a negro man now in NC”

It is believed that this Daniel Graham Jr., and wife Elizabeth are the parents of Daniel Dees Graham due to the following:

Elizabeth Dees married William Barefoot in October 1813.
William and Elizabeth are found in Pulaski County, Georgia after 1813.
In the book The Early Court Records of Pulaski County dated 1819 you find the following notations:
James Dees indicted for assault April 1813,John Dees owed the sheriff $33.00 (not said
why). Its on p. 69 of the 1812 minutes.
James Dees died 1819 with minor children Sarah, Jordan and Elizabeth.
Mary Dees was Admx for James.
John Dees Adm for Hilliard Sept 7 1818
Jordan Dees and Mary Dees admr. for James Dees Jan 6 1818
In the tax rolls of Pulaski County you find:
1818 Tax list shows John Dees with nine slaves and Jordan Dees for the Estate of James Dees with 7 slaves.
Note that the Pulaski County Court records plus the following data, show what appear to be all 3 of the minor children of Daniel Jr., as listed in the 1802 will, to be residents of Pulaski county, Georgia before 1819.
Daniel Dees Graham is shown in Georgia Court documents to also be known as Daniel Barefoot.
1840-1842 Daniel Dees Graham steals a slave in Georgia and takes the slave to Edgefield District, South Carolina to sell.
While in Edgefield District, South Carolina, according to trial testimony, Daniel Dees Graham marries the daughter of Abraham Hurt.
At the time of the Hurt marriage, Daniel had a wife and seven children in Pulaski County, GA.
In 1842 William Barefoot left Pulaski County, Georgia and went to South Carolina looking for Daniel Dees Graham.
Apparently, Daniel and William knew Abraham Hurt, according to trial testimony. William also found Daniel at the Hurt home, where Daniel was living with the Hurt daughter at the time.
In November 1842 Daniel and Abraham Hurt lured William off into the woods and killed William, burying his body by a fallen tree not far from the Hurt home.
After the murder Daniel returned to Georgia, where he was arrested for stealing the slave and eventually confessed to killing; “Old Billy Barefoot.”
Daniel was tried for the theft of the slave and sent to prison in Georgia. Georgia prison records establish his year of birth, as 1800-1801 that matches the 1802 will of Daniel Jr.
Daniel was sent by Georgia to South Carolina to stand trial, for the murder of “his stepfather, William Barefoot.” In South Carolina Daniel leads authorities to the body of William.
Daniel confessed, confessed the involvement of Abraham Hurt and was hanged May 24, 1844.

It appears that the James Dees listed in the court records of Pulaski County, may be the son of Dewitt Dees, the uncle of Daniel Dees Jr. That would make James the 1st Cousin of Daniel, Hilliard and John. I further find that Dewitt Dees is reported to have died in 1806 in Jefferson County, Georgia, where Daniel Dees Jr., died. So it appears that at least part of the families of Daniel Dees Jr., and Dewitt Dees moved to Pulaski County, Georgia.
With the appearance of Hilliard and John in the court records and the knowledge that Daniel Graham was actually Daniel Dees, all living in Pulaski County, you have strong evidence that they are the three sons listed in the will of 1802. When combined with the trial data where it states that William Barefoot was Daniel’s stepfather you have evidence that connects Elizabeth Barefoot, wife of William Barefoot to Daniel Dees Graham. With the recorded marriage of William Barefoot to Elizabeth Dees in October 1813 and the fact that William was the stepfather of Daniel Dees, the evidence is that Elizabeth Dees, wife of Daniel Dees Jr., did not die in 1803 and the published data in the Dees family genealogy, regards Daniel Jr and what happened to his sons and wife Elizabeth, may be wrong.
Of course this could all be a very wild coincidence due to the number of Daniel Dees males coupled with the number of Elizabeth Dees females, not to mention the Dees males with a middle name of Daniel and the females with a middle name of Elizabeth. At this point I am going to list the data and see if it can be disproved.
I have now found another Daniel Dees with a connection to Pulaski County, Georgia and the Barefoot family. Emanuel Dees had another son besides Daniel, named John Robert Dees. John Robert married Mary Braswell in NC. John and Mary had a son in NC, born 1753 named Shadrack Dees. Shadrack Dees married Charity Barefoot in NC in 1788. Shadrack and Charity had a son born 1789 in NC named Daniel Dees. Daniel Dees (son of Shadrack & Charity) married Polly Unknown in Pulaski County, Georgia in 1825. 
Name Variation  Daniel Dees Graham was also known as Daniel Dees It appears that Dees is his real name and that he used Graham from time to time. Graham was his mother's first husband. 
Note*circa 1840  Circa 1840 at Pulaski County, GA, Ed Harmon wrote: I have a copy of a parole record from the 1840s showing a Daniel Graham paroled from prison where he was being held for petty larceny and theft. The reason Daniel was in SC was that he stole a Negro slave and took him to SC to sell. That is where he killed Barefoot, who came from Georgia to find him. Barefoot was apparently his accomplice in many illegal activities in the past.
John's grand father, Daniel, looks to have been quite the brigand, with robbery, burglary, theft, murder, etc. to his credit. I do know a Daniel Graham from Georgia, killed his father-in-law a Barefoot, in SC and I have found a note that says grandma Barefoot died at near 100 sitting in her rocking chair with her corn cob pipe in her mouth. A pencil note is at the bottom and says related on the Graham side but do not know how. Soooooo it must be the same Daniel. This would also explain my grand mother's comment about the Grahams being the meanest people on the face of the earth.1
DANIEL GRAHAM CONVICTION
CENSUS1840*1840 He appeared on the census in 1840 at GA; D. Graham appears on the census. Age given is 30-40 for both man and wife so this is likely Daniel. In 1842 he stole a Negro slave in Georgia and took him to south Carolina to sell and while there marries daughter of Abraham Hurt.4 
LANDCONTRA*2 April 1844  On 2 April 1844 at GA A write of Fi Fa was issued against the property belonging to Daniel Graham for the benefit of E.Y and I Hill. Apparently there was a judgement against Daniel and this was to settle the affair. In any case, the winning bidder was Martha Graham who bought the 202.5 acres in the 21st District for the paltry sum of $3.50. Ed Harmon says that Victor Myrick, who did the research, thinks that the neighbors did not bid on the property either out of respect for Martha or fear of Daniel. Here is Ed's comment:"Victor's (Myrick) take on this was that the neighbors stopped the auction from being an auction by simply not allowing anyone else to bid."1
DANIEL GRAHAM
PROPERTY SALE
Note2006 He It appears at this point that Daniel Dees aka Graham was born about 1801 was the son of Elizabeth who first married Daniel Dees (Deas), then married a Graham and finally married William Barfoot (Barefoot) in 1813. It also appears that Daniel stole a negro slave in Georgia sometime in 1842 and ran off to SC with the slave to sell in the Edgefield area. Apparently William Barfoot, his stepfather went looking for Daniel and Daniel and an Alexander Hurt (Daniel's father in-law in SC) murdered William in November of 1842, burying William's body in the woods near the Hurt home. Daniel returned to his wife (Margaret "Patsy" Daniel) and family in Georgia where he was arrested for the theft of the slave, confessed to the murder and was tried and sent to prison in GA for stealing the slave. Daniel was sent from the Georgia prison to stand trial for murder in SC. He showed the sheriff where William's body was buried in 1844, was convicted of murder in March and hanged in May. It also appears that our Daniel Graham may not have been a Graham at all, but may have been a Dees.

Note from Ed Harmon:My Grandmother'sresponse set off the alarmbells and confirmed that there was in fact a Grandma Barefoot. The 5 of us together put together the puzzle that Grandma Barefoot was Elizabeth, mother of Daniel Dees aka Daniel Graham, aka Daniel Barefoot aka Daniel Rodgers. We used the trial information, marriage records and census data.

The importance of these three documents is that they confirm, aslegal documents,that Daniel Graham of Pulaski County was the step son of William Barefoot and that it was our Danielwho killed William and it was Daniel's mother, Elizabeth,who is our Grandma Barefoot.The documents also confirm thatthe 1859 GA prison record of aDaniel Graham is for another Daniel not our Great Grandfather.

Jefferson Co. GA Wills (1777/1893)

Note in the will, dated January 8, 1802 that John, Hilliard and Daniel were minors. Also note the North Carolina connection by; “a negro man now in NC” It is believed that this Daniel Graham (I think he means Dees) Jr and wife Elizabeth are the parents of Daniel Dees Graham due to the following:

Elizabeth Dees married William Barefoot in October 1813. William and Elizabeth are found in Pulaski County, Georgia after 1813.

In the book The Early Court Records of Pulaski County dated 1819 you find the following notations:

James Dees indicted for assault April 1813,John Dees owed the sheriff $33.00 (not said why. Its on p. 69 of the 1812 minutes.) James Dees died 1819 with minor children Sarah, Jordan and Elizabeth.
Mary Dees was Admx for James. John Dees Adm for Hilliard Sept 7 1818 Jordan Dees and Mary Dees admr. for James Dees Jan 6 1818

Note that the Pulaski County Court records plus the following data, show all 3 of the minor children of Daniel Jr, as listed in 1802 to be residents of Pulaski county, Georgia before 1819.

Daniel Graham is shown in Georgia Court documents to be Daniel Dees in 1826. 1840-1842 Daniel Dees Graham steals a slave in Georgia and takes the slave to Edgefield District, South Carolina to sell.

While in Edgefield District, South Carolina, according to trial testimony, Daniel Dees Graham marries the daughter of Abraham Hurt. At the time of the Hurt marriage, Daniel had a wife and seven children in Pulaski County, GA.

In 1842 William Barefoot left Pulaski County, Georgia and went to South Carolina looking for Daniel Dees Graham. Apparently the Hurt family was known to both Daniel and William, because William found Daniel at the Hurt home, where Daniel was living with the Hurt daughter. In November 1842 Daniel and Hurt lured William off into the woods and killed William, burying his body by a fallen tree not far from the Hurt home. After the murder Daniel returned to Georgia, where he was arrested for stealing the slave and eventually confessed to killing; “Old Billy Barefoot.” Daniel was tried for the theft of the slave and sent to prision in Georgia. Georgia prison records establish his year of birth as 1800-1801 which matches the 1802 will of Daniel Jr. Daniel was sent by Georgia to South Carolina to stand trial, for the murder of “his stepfather, William Barefoot.” In South Carolina Daniel leads authorities to the body of William.

When combined with the trial data where it states that William Barefoot was Daniel’s stepfather you have more evidence. With the recorded marriage of William Barefoot to Elizabeth Dees in October 1813 the evidence is piled pretty high showing that the published data in the Dees family genealogy, regards Daniel Jr and what happened to his sons and wife Elizabeth, is wrong.

LAND GRANT*1765 He was received land grant Between 1765 and 1782 he received a number of land grants and appears to hae been a wealthy man. in 1765 at N.C.

Will*1 March 1802 He left a will on 1 March 1802 at Jefferson Co., GA; Note in the will, dated January 8, 1802 that John, Hilliard and Daniel were minors. Also note the North Carolina connection by; “a negro man now in NC”
I'm leaving this in here, but after more research think this is incorrect. To search type in Hilliard Dees and find all kinds of conflicting information.

The land mentioned above was not in Georgia. Here is Ed's note on the topic:
Regarding Daniel DEES Sr's will, I finally figured out that the land he
gave to his wife/son was not in GA, it was in NC. There are no deed
records of Daniel Dees SR buying land in Jefferson County Georgia and he was
never taxed on land (of course, he was only there for about 1 -2 years
and he probably lived on his brother Duet Dees' land.

Subject: RE: Our Graham Family
Ed, I keep turning the whole thing over in my mind and am struck with the following:
We need a Daniel born about 1800 and Dead Daniel seems to provide us with that person. Not only that, but Dead Daniel provides us with the other 2 folks who went to Pulaski. Its difficult to believe that these are not the folks we are looking for.

I feel comfortable with the E. Graham age 65 of the 1850 being the mother of Daniel. Making her birth about 1785 - perfect for a 2nd wife to Dead Daniel who apparently had two sets of children.

If Dead Daniel and his wife Elizabeth died within a couple years of each other what happened to the minor children John, Hilliard and Daniel? Well, they went to Pulaski county that's what, but who took them or did they take themselves?

Now, remember that old Needham Bryant from N.C. was close to the family and he ended up one of the earliest settlers in Pulaski. I think we need to know a bit more about Needham as he may be more involved than we know. (sorry, that just put another name into your pot didn't it?).
