• History of a John Graybill Family in America, 1681-1981
• by Spencer L. Kraybill and Noah L. Zimmerman, 2nd edition (Baltimore, MD: Gateway Press, Inc., 1982)
• This volume of 1096 pages has literally thousands of names, all with unique birth-order numbers attached, tracing the family from the first settler in Juniata County, Pennsylvania. I'm not sure why they chose "John Graybill" as the name, because the man to whom they refer certainly did not use that name, but his descendants, who still fill the town of Richfield, PA, go by Graybill.
  -- Information supplied by Dr. Ronald D. Graybill, Riverside, CA
• (Editor's Note: It is my understanding from reading the Graybill GenForum that this book is out of print, with no plans to reprint. Noah Zimmerman works at the Juniata County Mennonite Historical Society and is happy to answer questions.)
