Text source

Joseph Averie mentioned that one of the Emperor's council, a Colonel Huesmann, a lt. colonel and others were taken prisoner in Bohemia by the Scottish commander over a troop of horse, Captaine Grahame. His troop formed part of Duke Bernard of Weismar's army. Graham himself wrote to Averie about this. It is more than likely that this was the same Captain Graham killed at Nordlingen weeks later on 6 September 1634
