    Major, Lieutenant-Governor of the island of St Helena. Born Henry Graeme, like his brother David, entered the army; suddenly the soldier element awoke in this branch of the Graemes, and from having been a race of lawyers, "Chamberlaynes" and Members of Parliament, two brothers entered the military service. Graeme, when Captain in the 37th, was severely wounded at Minden 1759, at Little Risington, Gloucester.
    Major Henry Graeme married on April 24th, 1749, Miss Anne Doughty, co-heir of her father; Mr Henry Doughty (of a Norfolk family of good lineage) and his wife, Miss Hodges, heiress of Broadwell, County of Gloucester.
    About 1774, on his return from St Helena, Major Graeme was residing at Park Street, Bristol. An interesting letter addressed to his only child, Miss Anne Grame, is dated Burford, 23rd April 1774, calls her Annica, and speaks to her of the deep affection felt towards her by the writer (Mrs Anne Crisp), who, though old enough to be her grandmother, is sure of her affection, as Anne is not likely to turn "into a nothingy flirt." Mrs Crisp recommends to Anne's notice "Mrs Chapones Letters," mentioning the author is Miss Malso, and that a Counsellor of that name had been one of the numerous admirers of Anne's mother, Mrs Henry Graeme.
    Henry Graeme died on Christmas Eve, 1785, at St Helena; his wife Anne lived on for many years; she died on the 2nd of January 1812, aged eighty-seven, and was buried in Hanwell Church; the monument is erected by their only child Anne, the wife of Sir Andrew Snape-Hamond, Bart.
