Seaborn was the son of Lewis Hall,Jr (R.S )
and Nancy Colley
The first settler in present-day Graham was Seaborn Hall., a farmer with extensive land holdings in the area, who opened a general store in 1866. Several years later when the railroad was completed through the county, another farmer and large landowner Middleton Graham donated the land for station Number 8 and the city of Graham, which was named in his honor. Graham prospered in the late 19th and early 20th century, largely due to the successful naval stores and timber industry. Gum and rosin processed at Van Bokkelyn's turpentine still in nearby Pine Grove were shipped out of Graham by rail, while Alexander Sessoms, also of North Carolina, ran a large naval store operation in Graham from 1879 to 1889. The City of Graham was incorporated locally in 1897. Graham had five stores, a post office, an express office, turpentine still, and a cotton gin. In earlier years, Graham boosted three lumber companies as well as a saloon. Graham was officially granted a charter by the state legislature in 1991.
