"Since 1191, Uolricus and Cuno de Gravinsried are the first mentioned of record, both by given and surname. The village of Grafenried, near Bern, is the first ancestral home of the family in Switzerland, and as early as the thirteenth century they were most numerous in that locality."--Page 18. Christopher (VI) deGraffenried was the first of the family to settle permanently in America. He married Barbara Tempest (née Needham) in 1714 at Charleston, South Carolina. They settled permanently in Prince Edward County, Virginia. Christopher died in 1742. Descendants lived in Virginia, North Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Kentucky, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Kansas and elsewhere.
