maiden name is Graybill and it is with great pleasure to inform you of the
history of Graybill in York Co. My aunt and I are working on our
family history and are proud that it is a location rather than a real town.
It marks the location of property settled and owned by Joseph Graybill, his
wife, Mary, and sons: Samuel; Joseph;and Daniel; and daughter, Elizabeth. Later
generations purchased adjacent farmlands selling enough land tothe railroad
for a postal pickup station and railroad right of way, thus establishing Graybill
Station. There is also a Graybill Road that travels southwest
