It would appear that she never married but had one child who was baptised as Hannah Maria Reins Graham, suggesting that the father's surname was Reins.

Acccording to the birth register at St. Clement Townstal Church, Priscilla Graham was not married at the time of the birth of her daughter Hannah Maria Reins Graham. The name of the father is not recorded, but one would assume from the name of the daughter that his surname was Reins, which is not a Dartmouth name. Most likely he was a mariner in Dartmouth for a short while (a so-called "sojourner").

The 1851 Census shows her living with her mother and going by her maiden name. No mention of a husband.

George Cliff [sic] & Sarah Graham, by License Both sign. Wits; Mary Morry & Matthew Morry

280216:
I had always thought that the witnesses were Matthew Morry and his wife, Mary Graham Morry, sister of the bride. But I just now realised that this causes a conflict in dates. Mary Graham Morry is supposed to have died the year before and the records for both her death and burial seems solid, so who was this Mary Morry? If could have been their daughter of that name, but she would only have been 12 at the time. It could also have been Mary Foale Luke Morry, Matthew's daughter-in-law, the wife of his son John. John and Mary had just gotten married three days earlier in the same church.

It now becomes a bit of a mystery.

It is noteworthy that there is no mention of this person in the will of Elizabeth [Graham] Ellis even though she left bequests to her brothers and sisters. It is possible that I have Sarah attributed to the wrong parents. This requires further research.
