Hi Katherine Joyce Walker:
I'm going to jump in with a piece of info that seems to be missing. Isadore Graham had three children with her first husband, Jeremiah Chandler, Jr. The children were Horace (1882-1882); Morley (17-02-1887 - ????) and Percy (04-09-1888 - ????)
Also, I don't have a Catherine Joyce listed as a daughter of John Joyce & Catherine Wood. I have their children as Thomas, Sarah, William, Austia J, Isabella, Jane and Susan.
