6308	Ralph attended the Mechanics Institute in New York City where he learned carpentry. He took a sailing steamer from New York to Mobile, Alabama and then worked his way up the Mississippi as far as St. Louis. He kept a journal in which he gave vivid pictures of the places he saw and the people he met on his travels. (Unfortunately we don't have the journal.) In St, Louis he purchased land that was located in what is now the central part of the city. He sold the property when he moved back to Cromwell. His brother George had written to him telling him that since their mother was dead, Ralph was the one who should keep up the homestead. George also advised him that he had a good wife picked out for him. And, as the story goes, this is what "opened negotiations with Sarah Strickland with matrimony in view." They married in May of 1843. He ran a general store on the east side of Main Street, just south of the Academy (now the Beldon Library). He was one of only 5 merchants who had stores in Cromwell in the 1850's. He sold his store, called the Co-op Store in 1871 to John Stevens. The Co-op store sold items such as clothing, hardware, foods and candy. In 1852 a company called Kelsey, Wright & Company moved its manufactuting business to Waterbury. The facility on Hicksville Road was bought by the Cromwell Manufacturing Company and Ralph Savage served on its board of directors. The company made toy banks and cast iron hardware. It closed in 1859. Ralph served the town as a selectman, town clerk (1881-1887), and tax collector. At the Congregational Church he served as a clerk and a deacon.

6326	Ray and his brothers were successful businessmen with interests in several industries. Their first business venture was in the manufacture of glass bottles. It was the Graham brother's glass company that developed the technique of manufacturing glass bottles upside down, which permitted the molten glass to build up around the crown. The strengthening of the crown in turn made the bottle strong enough to use a cap instead of a cork. Their glass company eventually became part of the Owens Glass Co., now the "O" in L-O-F - Libby-Owens-Ford. Ray who graduated in 1908 from the University of Illinois, had become interested in designing a lightweight motor truck while managing the family's farm properties. He invented a special rear axle combined with a spliced frame, whereby Ford cars could be converted into one-ton express or stake trucks at a cost of $350 per unit. The truck business looked promising. There was a plentiful of skilled labor for body building since wagon making was an important Indiana business and across the country more and more firms were discarding the horse and wagon in favor of the motor truck. Selling their interest in the glass business to Owens, Joseph and Robert joined Ray in establishing a factory in Evansville, Indiana, to build truck bodies for mounting on passenger car chassis. By 1920 an expanded line of Graham Brothers trucks and buses were being manufactured, using Continental, Weideley and Dodge engines. A customer, the Grahams felt, should not have to go elsewhere for his truck's body, so they built complete vehicles, offering a variety of bodies designed to meet the specialized needs of various industries. The truck venture proved successful, and attracted the attention of Frederick J. Haynes, president of Dodge Brothers. Haynes saw in the Grahams a chance to get Dodge into the heavy truck business without disrupting passenger car production. The Grahams were receptive, and in April 1921 an agreement was signed whereby the Graham Firm would build trucks solely with Dodge engines and drive trains, selling same exclusively through the Dodge dealer network. The agreement was enormously beneficial to the Grahams, whose products now gained the backing of an established manufacturer with a solid reputation and a nationwide dealer network. With the Dodge deal, the Grahams moved easily to Detroit, where a new factory on Meldrum Avenue was established to supplement Evansville output. A new company, Graham Brothers Inc. was created, with Joseph as president. It operated almost as a Dodge subsidiary. Soon other plants were opened in Stockton, California and Toronto, Canada. Demand was high, and the Grahams outgrew the Meldrum Avenue plant, building a replacement on Conant Avenue in 1922 and a third on Lynch Road in 1924. Production soared from 1086 trucks in 1921 to over 37,000 in 1926, making Graham Brothers the largest exclusive truck manufacturers in the world. Still more success accrued. In 1925, the Dodge heirs sold the company to the investment firm of Dillon, Read. The following November Dodge management reorganized and the Grahams emerged on top: Ray was vice-president and general manager, Joseph vice-president for manufacturing, Robert vice president for sales. In addition, the brothers became Dodge directors, and Dodge exercised an option to acquire a fifty-one percent interest in Graham Brothers, paying the Grahams $3 million plus an equal amount in options on remaining Graham Brothers shares. Much of this money was reinvested in Dodge stock, and the Grahams wound up among the largest Dodge stockholders. At this juncture the Grahams looked ensconced for life at Dodge. But their tenure lasted less than six months. In April 1926, the brothers suddenly, resigned, while Dodge acquired the remaining forty-nine percent of the truck business. Exactly what caused the upheaval is not known. The brothers may have had a disagreement with Dodge's bankers, or they could have felt uncomfortable in an organization which they did not completely control. They must also have realized that any hopes they may have had of bringing out a car under their own name were wasted at Dodge. But the Grahams weren't exactly broke, and in 1927 they organized the New York based Graham Brothers Corporation as a holding company for their varied interests, including an $11 million share in Libbey-Owens Sheet Glass in Toledo. In fact, it was Ray Graham who, as chairman of Libbey-Owens, brought about the merger with the Edward Ford Plate Glass Company to form giant Libbey-Owens-Ford in 1930. Ray died by drowning himself; in Chatham, Ontario. His brother, Robert Cabel Graham, and a priest were taking him to the Loyola House of Retreat in Morristown, New Jersey, after sanitarium treatment for a nervous breakdown. He eluded them, leaped into McGregor Creek.	Graham, Ray Austin (I27679)

6347	Recent scholarly source, The Great Migration, v. 4, I–L, 348 estimates Samuel's birth "say 1621" England. His next older sibling Barbara was bp. Egerton, Kent, 31 October 1619. His next younger sibling was bp. Eastwell, Kent, 11 April 1624." Some Internet sites give a specific date (with no source cited) of 3 March 1623 which in old style dating would fall about 2 weeks before the younger brother Joseph's christening date. Skepticism seems appropriate on this specific date as no serious genealogical research for the family has previously uncovered such a specific date. A review of findmypast records finds none for Samuel Lothrop or Lathrop. See link for sketch of Rev.
