In 1845, he was called to Lesmahagow which he declined. Graham remained in Wishaw until 1846, when he removed to Ayr. From 1850 until 1858, he was the clerk of Synod. In 1858, he removed to the recently organized congregation in Liverpool, where he was installed in March. He died suddenly, at Shrewsbury, on September 8, 1876. He published several things on the Revolution Settlement, including an extensive pamphlet on the Revolution Establishment (1840).
