CAPTAIN THOMAS GRAVES

 

1608 Settler of Jamestown, Virginia

and His Descendants (ca. 1580-1998)

 

 

INTRODUCTION

There are numerous questions about descendants of Capt. Thomas Graves. There is often inadequate documentation and differences of opinion about the interpretation of the evidence that does exist. Several of these issues have been addressed in an Appendix to this genealogy. They include:

Francis Graves (#7), youngest child of Capt. Thomas Graves. A question has been raised as to whether this was a son or a daughter, and the present answer is that it is a son.

William Graves (#222) who married Sarah Smith. There has been a question on which William this is, and his line of descent from Capt. Thomas Graves.

Descent of Thomas Graves (#122) and John Graves (#121) of Spotsylvania Co., VA.

Identification and descent of Joseph Graves (#123), brother of Thomas Graves (#122) born 1691.

 

GENERATION 1

 

Thomas Graves (1), gentleman, arrived in Virginia in October of 1608, coming from England in the ship "Mary and Margaret" with Captain Christopher Newport's second supply. Although John Card Graves (R-515) states that Thomas was accompanied by his wife Katherine, sons John and Thomas, and eight others, including Henry Singleton and Thomas Edge, most other historians agree that he did not bring his wife and children over until later. It is likely that he did not even marry Katherine until 1610, and his first child was born about 1611.

Thomas Graves was one of the original Adventurers (stockholders) of the Virginia Company of London, and one of the very early Planters (settlers) who founded Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in North America. He was also the first known person named Graves in North America. Captain Thomas Graves is listed as one of the original Adventurers as "Thomas Grave" on page 364, Records of the Virginia Company of London, vol. IV. Although the Records of the Virginia Company state that in 1622 was granted "a patent to Thomas Graves of Doublin in the Realm of Ireland, gent.", this may be a clerical error. As stated in the original charter of the Virginia Co. of London, the first Adventurers to Virginia were to be from the city of London.

King James I of England, on April 10, 1606, granted letters patent (charter) to Sir Thomas Gates, Sir George Somers, Richard Hakluyt, Edward-Maria Winfield, Thomas Hanham, Raleigh Gilbert, William Parker, and George Popham, in whose names the petition for the charter to the Virginia Company of London had been made, for the founding of two colonies in Virginia.

In 1606 the name Virginia designated the North American coast north of Spanish Florida. The First Colony was to "begin their first plantation and place of their first sojourning and dwelling in any place along the aforesaid coast of Virginia or America where they thought it suitable and convenient, between the aforesaid thirty-four and forty-one degrees of the aforesaid latitude." The Second Colony was to locate at some point between thirty-eight degrees and forty-five degrees of northern latitude. (Rec. Va. Co., vol. IV, p. 368)

The First Colony (consisting of knights, gentlemen, merchants and others of the city of London) made a settlement at Jamestown on May 13, 1607, which became permanent. The Plymouth grantees (from the English cities of Bristol and Exeter, the town of Plymouth, and other places) established the Second Colony at Sagadagic (on the coast of what became Maine) in August 1607, but abandoned it in the spring of 1608.

On May 13, 1607, Captain Christopher Newport's fleet of three small ships, the Susan Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery, with 105 colonists, reached the site of this first permanent English settlement, and called it James Towne. Captain Newport returned to Jamestown on Jan. 8, 1608 with the first supply in the John and Francis. The Phoenix, commanded by Captain Francis Nelson, which had sailed as part of the first supply, finally arrived on 20 April 1608. More than half the settlers died that first winter.

Captain Newport sailed again for England and arrived at Blackwell May 21, 1608. Capt. Nelson returned to England in the Phoenix early in July 1608, with requests from Virginia to be sent by the second supply. Capt. Newport left England in the Mary and Margaret, a ship of about 150 tons, with the second supply, probably in August of 1608. Many sources give the arrival date of this second supply as being early in October 1608. We do know that it was after Sept. 10, 1608.

A comparatively complete record, with the names, of the little band of first planters who came in 1607 and the two supplies of 1608 is given by Captain John Smith in his Historie. These three expeditions brought a total of about 295 people -- the first settlers numbering about 105, the first supply 120, and the second supply about 70. Of the whole number, 92 are described as "gentlemen."

Regarding the title of "Captain" which is attached to Thomas Graves in Virginia historical records, he had no such designation in the Charter of 1609 wherein all the Adventurers (stockholders) of the Virginia Company are listed, and is shown by Captain John Smith on his arrival in Virginia simply as "Thomas Graves, Gent." Thus it appears that he acquired the title of Captain after arriving in Virginia.

Thomas Graves early became active in the affairs of the infant colony. On an exploring expedition he was captured by the Indians and taken to Opechancanough. Thomas Savage, who had come to Virginia with the first supply on the John and Francis in 1608, was sent to rescue him, in which he was successful.

The winter of 1608-09 was much better than the previous winter, but soon after Capt. John Smith returned to England for medical treatment in October 1609, the "Starving Time" reduced the population of about 500 to no more than sixty men, women, and children. In June of 1610, the survivors were in the process of abandoning the settlement, when Lord Delaware arrived as governor of the colony. From that time on, there was apparently no further serious thought of abandoning the town. However, even by 1616, the colony had a total population of only 351, of whom 81 were farmers or tenants.

In 1617 the Virginia Company, hoping to expand population and agricultural production in the colony, encouraged private or voluntary associations organized on a joint stock basis to establish settlements in the area of the Company's patent. The Society of Smith's (or Smythe's) Hundred (later called Southampton Hundred) was organized in 1617. In addition to Captain Thomas Graves, the Adventurers included Sir Thomas Smith, Sir Edwin Sandys, and the Earl of Southampton. Soon after April 29, 1619, Governor Yeardley wrote to Sir Edwin Sandys: "I have entreated Capt. Graves, an antient officer of this company, to take charge of the people and workes."

Capt. Thomas Graves was a member of the First Legislative Assembly in America, and, with Mr. Walter Shelley, sat for Smythe's Hundred when they met at Jamestown on July 30, 1619. The time of Capt. Thomas Graves' removal to the Eastern Shore is not known. It was, however, after August 1619, since he was then a representative from Smythe's Hundred to the first meeting of the House of Burgesses. It was also prior to Feb. 16, 1623, for "A List of Names: of the Living in Virginia, Feb. 16, 1623" shows Thomas Graves "at the Eastern Shore". His patent for 200 acres on the Eastern Shore is of record 14 March 1628 (Patent Book No. 1, p. 72, Land Registrar's Office, Richmond, Va.). This land was in what was then known as Accomack, now a part of Northampton Co. It was granted by Dr. Thomas Pott, Governor of Virginia, and was on the eastern side of the Bay of Chesapeake, westerly of the lands of Capt. Henry Flute, an explorer of the Bay, "by virtue of the adventure of five and twenty pounds paid by the said Capt. Thomas Graves to Sir Thomas Smyth, Treasurer of the Virginia Company." He paid a "quit rent" of one shilling for fifty acres, payable at the feast of St. Michael the Archangel (Sept. 29) each year on a part of his land.

In the census of February 1625, Capt. Thomas Graves was one of only 51 people then living on the Eastern Shore. He was put in charge of the direction of local affairs later in 1625. In Sept. 1632 he, with others, was appointed a Commissioner "for the Plantacon of Acchawmacke". He was one of the Burgesses to the Assembly, representing Accomac, for the 1629-30 session and the 1632 session. He attended many of the meetings of the Commissioners, but he was absent from Dec. 30, 1632/3 until Oct. 23, 1633/4. It appears that he was out of the country.

The old Hungars Episcopal Church is located about seven miles north of Eastville, on the north side of Hungars Creek. Hungars Parish was made soon after the county was established, and the first minister was Rev. Francis Bolton, who was succeeded by Rev. William Cotton. The first vestry was appointed in 1635. The first vestry meeting was on Sept. 29, 1635, at which Capt. Thomas Graves headed the list of those present. The first church edifice was erected in 1690-95 and was still standing around 1900, one of the oldest churches in the country. In addition to Capt. Thomas Graves, the other persons named by the court as vestrymen of Hungars Church were William Cotton, minister, Obedience Robins, John Howe, William Stone (first Protestant Governor of Maryland), William Burdett, William Andrews, John Wilkins, Alexander Mountray, Edward Drews, William Beniman and Stephen Charlton.

Captain Thomas Graves died between November 1635 when he was witness to a deed and 5 Jan. 1636 when suit was entered against a servant to Mrs. Graves (Adventurers of Purse and Person, pp. 188-189). His birth date is not known, but is believed to be about 1580. That would have made him only about 55 years of age at his death.

Very little is known about Katherine, wife of Capt. Thomas Graves. Her maiden name may have been Croshaw. (There was a Raleigh Chroshaw, Gent., who arrived with the second supply with Thomas Graves.) Just when she came to Virginia is not recorded. She and her children are not included in the 1625 census of the Eastern Shore, although Capt. Thomas Graves is. The patent granted to John Graves (son of Capt. Thomas Graves) on Aug. 9, 1637 states that the 600 acres granted to him in Elizabeth City was "due in right of descent from his father Thomas Graves, who transported at his own cost himself, Katherine Graves his wife, John Graves the patentee, and Thomas Graves, Jr., and 8 persons." (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Nugent.) The 50 acres assigned for each person transported shows they came after 1616. The other 8 persons transported did not include any members of Capt. Graves' family. The girls, Ann, Verlinda, and Katherine obviously came later, and Francis was born in Virginia. The last reference to Mrs. Graves shows her living at the Old Plantation, Accomac, as of May 20, 1636.

Since Captain Thomas Graves had been active in the affairs of Virginia from his arrival, the absence of any mention of him during certain periods indicate he had returned to England. This is also confirmed by patents issued to him and to others in which he is mentioned. Mrs. Hiden stated: "Even a cursory reading of Northampton (formerly Accomack) records reveals how frequent were the trips to England, Ireland, Holland, and New England" of those living on the Eastern Shore. Mrs. Hiden also stated (R-509, p. 34): "We know from the land patents that Capt. Thomas Graves made several trips out of the country, to England presumably, and on one of his return voyages his family accompanied him."

Thomas Graves was probably unmarried when he arrived in Virginia in 1608. He was young, and adventure was probably the reason for his coming to Virginia. He was obviously educated, of some "social status" and financial means, and a leader.

It is likely that he returned to England, possibly in Oct. 1609, either on the same ship with Captain John Smith (who left Virginia for England for treatment of his wounds resulting from an explosion), or on one of the other seven ships which arrived in Virginia in August 1609. In that way he would have missed the "Starving Time" of the winter of 1609-10, which so few survived.

He may have then married in England in about 1610, fathered John Graves and Thomas Graves, remained in England for several years, and returned to Virginia prior to the formation of Smythe's Hundred in 1617, or possibly a little later. It is known that he was "entreated to take charge of the people and workes" at Smythe's Hundred in April 1619, and was there then.

Also, there is no record of his being in Virginia after the meeting of the Burgesses in July-August of 1619 until he is shown as living on the Eastern Shore in 1623. It seems reasonable that he was in England at the time of the Indian Massacre of March 1622, and upon returning to Virginia settled on the Eastern Shore where it was less perilous to live. The fact that he fathered three children, the girls, during this period certainly lends support to his being in England. (R-14, R-501, R-515)

GENERATION 2

 

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (1) AND KATHERINE ------

John Graves (2) was the oldest son of Captain Thomas Graves. In the absence of documentation, Mrs. Hiden estimated his birth in one instance to be "by 1605" and "not later than 1616" in another. Based on all available evidence, it seems likely that he was born about 1611. He was almost certainly born in England, since he did not receive land as an "Ancient Planter." All persons in Virginia prior to 1616 received an additional 50 acres. He was "of age" (21 years of age or older) before 19 Feb. 1634/5, for he had sued John Parramore (Accawmacke 1, p. 26), proving he was born at least by 1614, and on that date the Acchawmacke Court's decision was "John Parramore ordered to pay a debt of 100 lb. tobacco to John Graves".

(Note: On p. 48 of Louise Graves' book (R-501) is a comment that should be taken into consideration, since it indicates the possibility that he was not yet 21 in 1634/5. "It was the custom for the boys in Virginia to be married anywhere from 16 to 21 and the girls from 15 or 16 to 18 years of age. It is sad to relate, but life expectancy and the average age at death was around age 35 in those days, although many lived to be very old, even as in the present. It is noted that in almost all the wills of the period, while the testator's property did not usually come into the control of the male heir until he was 21 years old, yet sometimes the testator would declare that his son was to be considered 'of age' when he reached 16.")

John Graves died intestate in Elizabeth City County, possibly in April 1640. His death was between 29 May 1639, when he patented land, and 30 April 1640, when William Parry was named his administrator and bond was made (Northampton Co., Book 2, p. 281). Capt. Roper, William Cotton and Capt. Stone, brothers-in-law of John Graves and administrators of the estate of Capt. Thomas Graves, were originally appointed administrators of John Graves' estate, but in April 1640 they resigned and William Parry was appointed.

John Graves seems to have been the only one of his name in the county. Because most of the early records were destroyed, very little information is available about him, but land records and patents do reveal some facts.

On 9 Aug. 1637, John Graves patented 600 acres in Elizabeth City County near the upper end of the Back River, "due in right of descent upon his father Thomas Graves who transported at his own costs himself, Katherine Graves, his wife, sons John Graves, the patentee, and Thomas Graves, Jr., and 8 persons, Henry Singleton, Thomas Edge, Robert Phillips, Thomas Griggs, Thomas Phillips, Francis White, William Symber, Jone Packett." This patent is proof that Capt. Thomas Graves did not bring his family until after 1616, for had they come earlier they would all have been "Ancient Planters" and entitled to 100 acres each instead of 50 acres. This patent was near the lands of Capt. Adam Thoroughgood and east of the dwelling of Ohner Van Kirk. In 1638 and 1639 he received additional patents.

The holdings of John Graves were near the York County line and almost directly opposite Hungar's Creek in Northampton Co. (formerly Accawmacke) on the Eastern Shore, where his father had lived and where his sisters were still living at that time.

The wife of John Graves is not known, but John Card Graves stated (R-515): "He married a daughter of the illustrious Perrin family, large property owners, and prominent in Virginia history." He gave no basis for this statement. (R-515)

Thomas Graves (3) by some accounts was born about 1617, probably in England. He died about 1675 in Gloucester Co., Va., and left his land to his sons Thomas, Jeffrey and William. He settled in Gloucester Co., Va., and acquired large tracts of land there, part of which was granted in 1657. He patented 53 acres and later 240 acres in Gloucester Co., also 300 acres in Lancaster Co., Va. He was known as "Thomas Graves, Sr. of Timberneck Creek, Gloucester Co., planter." The name of his wife is not known, although it is believed to be Elizabeth (or Katherine). (R-515)

Verlinda Graves (4) was born about 1618 in Va., and died 13 July 1675 in Charles Co., Md. She married Capt. William Stone before 1640, perhaps about 1634 or 1638 in Va. He was born about 1603 in Lancaster, England, and died 21 Dec. 1660 in Charles Co., Md. He was Governor of Maryland, the first Protestant Governor, Capt. of Colonial Service, and the third Colonial Governor appointed by Lord Baltimore in 1648. (R-120, R-141, R-168)

Ann (or Anne) Graves (5) was born about 1620, and died 2 March 1683/4 in Charles Co., Md. Her will was proved 18 July 1683 in Charles Co., Md. She first married Rev. William Cotton, son of Andrew Cotton and Joane ------, before 10 July 1637 in Hungar's Parish, Accawmack (or Accomac) Co., Va. He died in 1640. There is a tradition in the family that he was a son of widow Joan Cotton of Bunbury, Cheshire Co., England, and was granted 350 acres of land on the main branches of Hungar's Creek, adjoining the lands of his brother-in-law, Capt. William Stone. This consisted of 100 acres for personal adventure of himself and wife and 250 acres for the transportation of five persons to Virginia, viz. Eleanor Hill, Richard Hill, Edward Eason, and Domingo and Sambo, negroes. William Cotton was succeeded by Rev. John Rozier.

Ann secondly married Nathaniel Eaton, son of Richard Eaton, about 1641 (by 1642). Nathaniel was assistant to Rev. Rozier, and was previously the first head of Harvard College. He went to Virginia after his dismissal from Harvard. He fled from his creditors in Virginia about 1647, deserting his family, and died in 1674.

Ann thirdly married Francis Doughty, son of Francis Doughtie, on 8 June 1657. He died about 1683. He, like Ann's first two husbands, was Rector of Hungar's Parish. She later went with him to Rappahannock Co., where he was Rector of Sittenbourne and South Farnham Parishes in 1665. (R-114, R-515)

Katherine (or Catherine) Graves (6) was born about 1622, and died on or before 1668 at Resurrection Manor, Calvert, Prince George's Co., Maryland. She first married Lt. (later Capt.) William Roper about 1636. He was also a resident of Accawmack (Northampton Co.) on Virginia's Eastern Shore, and a burgess representing that county. His plantation was on a small neck of land with a waterfront location. Here he carried on a profitable trade. He died about 1650 in Va.

After Capt. Roper's death, Katherine married another neighbor, Lt. Thomas Sprigg, son of Thomas Sprigg and Katherine Griffin, on 3 March 1650/51. They were both living in Northampton Co., Va. at the time. Thomas Sprigg was born in 1630 in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England, and died in 1704 at Resurrection Manor, Calvert, Prince George's Co., Md. His will was probated 29 Dec. 1704. After Katherine died, he married Eleanor Nuthall in 1668.

Shortly after Katherine's marriage to Thomas Sprigg, they moved to the new colony of Maryland, where her brother-in-law, William Stone, had gone as governor. Thomas Sprigg's land certificate in Maryland shows that he transported himself, his wife Katherine, Verlinda Roper, Nathaniel Sprigg, and several others. Verlinda Roper was Thomas's young stepdaughter; Nathaniel may have been an infant son -- no other record of him has been found.

Sarah Sprigg is listed by some writers as a daughter of Katherine Sprigg and by some as a daughter of Thomas Sprigg's second wife. In 1770, Thomas Sprigg executed a deed of gift which identified Sarah as his oldest daughter. Sarah was already married and even had a married daughter, Sarah Pearce Beall, who was also mentioned in the deed. When we consider ages and dates, it seems likely that Sarah was from her father's marriage to Katherine Graves Roper. (See Md. Hist. Mag., VIII:75.)

Thomas Sprigg, Jr. is shown as the son of Katherine Sprigg in Adventurers of Purse and Person, pp. 190, 192. His birthdate is uncertain, but was probably about 1665. One possibility is that his mother died at or soon after his birth, and he was brought up by his stepmother, Eleanor Nuthall Sprigg.

In Maryland, Katherine and her family settled first in Kent Co., and then across the bay in Calvert Co. (R-11, R-116)

Francis Graves, Sr. (7) was born about 1630 in Virginia, and died about 1691 (before 5 Aug. 1691). The birth date of Francis is inferred from the fact that he was still a minor and described as "orphan of Capt. Thomas Graves decd." in 1642. From this date until 1672 we have no information about Francis. According to Mrs. Hiden, it is likely from the associates his family chose that he spent some time in Gloucester Co., Va. before settling in Essex Co. It is also probable that he lived in Essex Co. before patenting land there, and that the 714 acres he patented 10 Oct. 1672 (S.L.O. 6, p. 436) "on the south side of the river, part on the branch of Gilson's Creek and part on Hoskins Creek adjoining Mr. Beverley's corner," represented a choice of location rather than just the reward for transporting 14 persons.

He married Jane Maguffey (or McGuffy or Maguffy) before 28 Nov. 1678. Her maiden name may have been Davenport, and she may have first married Mr. Maguffey, secondly Francis Graves, and thirdly John D. Doughty. The marriage of Francis to Jane was his second (according to Mrs. Sue Davis). At the time of his marriage to Jane he gave certain cattle to his step-children, John and Jane Maguffey and Elizabeth Davenport (Old Rappahannock Records, Deeds and Wills 6, p. 57). The original deed is preserved among the loose papers of Essex Co. and shows Francis Graves's firm signature.

In 1694, after Francis had died and Jane had remarried John Doughty, this new husband deeded certain property to Jane's sons, Francis, Richard, and Thomas Graves (Essex Deeds and Wills 6, Reverse of book, p. 296). Doughty died between 1704, when he is listed in the Quit Rent Roll (Va. Mag., vol. 33, p. 262), and 1715, when Francis and Thomas Graves (sons of Jane and Francis) appear on the list (Essex Quit Rent Roll 1715, Archives Div., Va. State Library).

According to The Diary of Robert Rose, p. 320, Francis Graves, Jr., who died in 1748, had a nephew Benjamin Graves who had been overseer, first for the Rev. John Bagge on Thomas Button's "Range" plantation in Essex Co. in 1726 and earlier, and then for Parson Rose at the glebe in Essex Co., Va.

It was suggested that Francis was not a son of Capt. Thomas Graves, but of someone else, and that there was a Frances Graves who was a daughter of Capt. Thomas Graves. This has been shown to be not correct. See the Appendix at the end of this book for a detailed discussion of this. (R-14, R-20, R-506, R-507, R-518)

GENERATION 3

 

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (2) AND ------ PERRIN

Ralph Graves (8) was born at least by 1629 (probably about 1625), as he witnessed a deed in 1650 in York Co., Va., and died testate 9 May 1667 in York Co., Va. (according to the Bruton Parish Register). He married Rachel Croshaw (or Crosher), daughter of Major Joseph Croshaw, about 1654. Joseph Croshaw was a son of Raleigh Croshaw who arrived in Jamestown in 1608 on the ship "Mary and Margaret" with Capt. Thomas Graves. Ralph Graves made a trip to England in 1652 for his father-in-law, Major Joseph Croshaw.

After Ralph died, his widow married Richard Barnes, and died 20 April 1669. Richard died in Jan. 1674/5. Joseph Croshaw deeded to Ralph and Rachel 2000 acres of land in New Kent Co., Va. on 23 Dec. 1654. Joseph was Justice of the Peace in York Co. in 1655, member of the House of Burgesses in 1659-60, and died 10 April 1667. The will of Ralph Graves, dated 5 May 1667, proved 29 July 1667 in York Co., Va., names oldest son Ralph, youngest son William, eldest daughter Anne, youngest daughter Mary, wife Rachel, and uncle Richard Croshaw, executor. In his will, he mentioned that he was in the prime of life, but feeble in body. His will bequeathed his 1000 acre homeplace in York Co. to his wife and then to his son, Ralph Graves, Jr. In 1675, Ralph, Jr. petitioned to be appointed guardian of brother William, denied. (R-14, R-515)

40. Martha Graves, d. 27 Oct. 1665 (or 1666).

 

William Graves (9) was born by 1631, since he patented land in York Co., Va. in 1652. He died before 1668 (York Co., Book 4, p. 178) when Rachel Graves, wife or widow of his brother Ralph, appeared on behalf of her son Ralph as next of kin to Ann Graves, daughter of William Graves, deceased. This proves William had no other surviving children, since they would have been Ann's heirs. It also proves that Ralph (8) was the oldest brother of William, and Ralph (37) was the oldest son of Ralph (8). This follows the English inheritance laws of that time. William received a grant of 80 acres in York Co. on 13 Oct. 1656. (R-14)

41. Ann Graves, d. by 1668.

 

Thomas Graves (10) was born by 1631. He was an adjoining land owner to his brother William in 1652 in York Co. (Adventurers of Purse and Person, p. 189). He married Elizabeth ------. On 26 May 1684, a judgement was granted Thomas Graves (York Co., Book 6, p. 580). In August 1695, Thomas and Elizabeth Graves witnessed a deed (York Co., Book 1665-1701, p. 26). The Virginia Quit Rent Rolls of 1704 show a Thomas Graves in King William Co. with 100 acres. King William was a new county, having been formed from King and Queen Co. in 1702. (R-14)

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (3)

Thomas Graves (13) was born about 1639. His death date is unknown. He was still living in 1707 when he had lot no. 1 in the new town of Gloucester. He first married Mary ------ before 1677 (possibly about 1669). They lived in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va.

He and his brother Jeffrey inherited large tracts of land which their father had patented. This land was beyond the head of Timberneck Creek, and between Severn and the Indian Road. As part of their inheritance, they also received a tract of 400 acres in Abingdon Parish on 6 March 1675/6. Thomas had other large grants in Westmoreland and Gloucester counties.

He secondly married Elizabeth ------. The christening of all the children listed below was recorded in the records of St. Peter's Church, Abingdon Parish. (R-515)

48. Elizabeth Graves, b. 21 May 1680, probably died shortly after birth, although this could have been a birth date and the date for the second Elizabeth could have been the bapt. date for the same child.

The baptisms of all the following children were recorded in the records of St. Peter's Church, Abingdon Parish. The gap in the baptismal dates of the following children is suspicious, but perhaps the family was not of the parish from 1689 to 1700. (R-14, R-515)

CHILDREN OF FRANCIS GRAVES (7)

John Graves (32) married Johannah ("Hannah" or Joanna) ------. They lived in St. Anne's Parish, Essex Co., Va. He died 1720 in Essex Co.

The following discussion is from the Graves Family Newsletter, 1993, pages 30-31. The Graves ancestry of Jane Graves who married John Coffey is of considerable interest to the many descendants of this couple. An excellent book on the Coffey family was published in 1984 by Marvin D. Coffey, James Bluford Coffey, His Ancestors and Descendants in America, Vol. II - Ancestors. On page 31 of that book, he states: "About 1728 John Coffey married Jane Graves, the daughter of John Graves, deceased, and his wife Hannah... The origin of our Graves ancestors is far from clear... Unfortunately, we cannot identify our John Graves as one of [the known men named John Graves who were descended from Capt. Thomas Graves of VA]..."

"Coffey genealogists who have looked into our Graves ancestry claim that the parents of John Graves (d. 1720) were James Graves and his wife Jean Mayfield..." He goes on to provide evidence that casts doubt on this ancestry, however.

Jane is named as a daughter in the will of John Graves, dated 5 Sept. 1719 in Essex Co., VA. James Graves (Jane's brother) made a will in Essex Co., dated 10 Jan. 1724, naming his wife Jean as executrix but naming no children (making it unlikely that James could have been the father of John or anyone else).

The two previous Graves ancestries for Jane Graves that have been suggested have been through John2 Graves, son of Capt. Thomas Graves, and through Francis2, Francis3. Both of these have been shown to be very unlikely.

The possibilities are that John, the father of Jane Graves, was a son or grandson of one of the 3 sons of Capt. Thomas Graves, John, Thomas, or Francis. John2, b.c. 1611, d.c. 1640, didn't have a son John. Looking at his 3 sons: Ralph, b. by 1629, had no son John named in his 1667 will; William, b. by 1631, had only 1 daughter and no sons, per a 1668 document; Thomas, b. by 1631, had a son John who was b.c. 1665, d. after 1737, lived in King and Queen Co., VA, and was clearly not the father of Jane.

Looking at Thomas2, he had no son John. His son Thomas, b.c. 1639, had a son John, b. by 1677, d. by 1716, lived in Gloucester Co., VA, clearly a different John; son Jeffrey had no son John; William had a son John who was not baptized until 1689.

This leaves only Francis2, youngest son of Capt. Thomas Graves. Since the sons of Francis by his marriage to Jane Maguffey were born too late to be the father of John, John could only have been by a first marriage of Francis2.

The descent that is believed to be correct is: Capt. Thomas1 Graves; Francis2, b.c. 1630, d.c. 1691; John3, b. before 1678, d. 1720, Essex Co., VA; Jane4, b.c. 1701-05, m. John Coffey. On page 140, 1980 Graves Family Newsletter, is the statement, "Some authorities think Francis married an unknown first wife, leaving descendants living in Essex Co. prior to his marriage in 1678 to the widow Jane Maguffey." Since Francis was about 48 years of age when he married Jane Maguffey, it is certainly reasonable to think he had been married before that and had one or more children. In a letter to Kenneth V. Graves on 29 Feb. 1984, Mrs. Sue Davis of Benton, AR wrote: "John shouldn't be listed as a child of Jane Maguffey. He was by a first wife." Sue Davis was a very thorough researcher, and did much outstanding and reliable research on the Graves family. (R-14)

Francis Graves, Jr. (33) was born 1679 in Rappahannock Co., VA, and died in 1748 in Essex Co., VA. He married Anne (or Ann) Reynolds (?) in 1699. She may have been his second wife. She was living as late as 21 Oct. 1765, for on that date "on petition of Ann Graves it is ordered that James and Robert Reynolds, James Key and James Clark or any three of them divide the estate of Francis Graves deceased as devised in his will" (O.B. 26, p. 284). It is partly supposition that her last name was Reynolds, based on the fact that the Reynolds were neighbors and had a daughter named Anne.

They moved from Rappahannock Co., where Francis Jr. had been born, to Essex Co., VA, where they lived and died. The will of Francis Graves, Jr., made 25 June 1746, was proved 18 Oct. 1748 in Essex Co. (Will Book 8, pages 90-91). The following six children were all named in this will. Of his daughters, only Clara was married in 1748.

Francis and his brother Thomas continued to live in Essex Co., unlike their brother Richard who moved away. Their associates were the Reeves, Reynolds, Wallers, Hipkins, Colemans, Streshleys, Pamplins, Roanes, and Upshaws, though most of the exact relationships are not known. Most of these families came to Essex Co. from Gloucester Co., VA. (R-14, R-20, R-507)

Richard Graves (34) left Essex Co., Va. between 1708 and 1714 (Essex O.B. 1708-14, pp. 608-609). He and Francis Shackelford had bought a sloop in partnership and they probably engaged in coastwise trade. Richard apparently died about 1730, since this seems to be the Richard Graves of Craven Precinct, N.C., who in his will, dated 11 April 1730, referred to nephews "Richard and Francis, sons of brother Thomas Graves in Virginia." In the Essex Order Book mentioned above, Francis Graves (Richard's brother) testified in Sept. 1714 that, since leaving Essex Co., Richard had sent him a small Indian boy in payment for a debt.

Richard took a prominent part in the affairs of Craven Precinct and was a person of recognized ability. In 1726 he represented the Precinct in the Lower House of the Assembly of N.C. (Colonial Records of N.C., vol. 2, p. 528).

He married Hannah Consolvo, daughter of Lawrence Consolvo. She had first been married to Farnifold Green. (R-507)

From the will of Thomas' brother Richard, we know that Thomas had sons Richard and Francis. There seem to be no documents in Essex Co. that prove other children, but from the fact that John Graves qualifies as administrator we consider him the oldest son. He was not a son of either Francis or Richard, as their wills show, and his birth is too early for him to have been a grandson. By elimination, therefore, he was a son of Thomas. (R-23, R-507)

GENERATION 4

 

CHILDREN OF RALPH GRAVES (8) AND RACHEL CROSHAW

Ralph Graves (37) was born 24 July 1653 (or about 1658) in York Co., Va., and died in 1694 (by Feb. 1694) in York Co. without a will. He married his cousin Unity White, daughter of Henry White of York Co., Va. and Mary Croshaw, and granddaughter of Major Joseph Croshaw. They lived in York Co., Va. After Ralph died, Unity married Thomas Cripps sometime after 25 June 1694. She died about Feb. 1695.

From his uncle, William Graves, Ralph inherited Skimino plantation, land given to his deceased sisters by their father, and also land inherited directly from his father. On 25 June 1694, Unity Graves, with William Jackson and her brother Henry White, secured administration of Ralph Graves' estate by filing a bond for 40,000 lbs. of tobacco.

The inventory of his estate mentions four horses, harness, cart, saddle, etc. It mentions his sons Ralph, Elijah, and Henry White Graves. A daughter Mary is also documented (how?). It is also likely that he had sons Joseph and John. Joseph was the one in the 1704 quit rent rolls of James City Co., and John who had children Susannah and Matthew, both born St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., later lived in Goochland Co. (However, according to Mrs. Sue Davis, the inventory of the estate did not list his children.)

In addition to the children listed, there were probably others, including one girl who married a Daniel. All the children were supposedly born in York Co., Va. (R-179, R-515)

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (10) AND ELIZABETH ------

John Graves (42) was born about 1665 and died after 1737. His wife's name is not known. There is no proof that this John was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth, but the ages were right, and there were no other known Graves of the right age to be the father of this John. He is obviously too old to be one of the Johns of the Abingdon Parish Register. Francis (#7) may possibly have had a son John by a first marriage, but this John died in Essex Co. in 1720. He was also in Essex Co. at the same time that John Sr. (#42) was in King and Queen and King William Counties. Two John Graves are in the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls, one in King and Queen Co. and one in King William Co. The one in King and Queen Co. might be the John bapt. 1677, Abingdon Parish, but it is also quite possible that both Johns are one and the same person. As deeds show, John Sr. (#42) was of King and Queen Co. in 1704 when he purchased land in King William Co. Therefore, it is quite possible that he is listed for both areas. The Quit Rent Rolls are obviously incomplete, as only seven Graves appear on them: Thomas and John in King William Co., John and Robert in King and Queen Co., Thomas and Jeffery of Gloucester Co., and James of James City Co. There should be many more.

There are several deeds that are crucial to establishing this line. They substantiate the birthdates of John Sr. (#42) and his son John Jr., and show that this is the same family that later settled in Spotsylvania Co. King William Co., Deed Book 1, pp. 195-7: John Clayton (or Clayborne) of St. John's Parish, King William Co., sells 100 acres on the north side of the Pamunkey River to John Graves of Stratton Major (Manor) Parish, King and Queen Co., 6 May 1704.

King William Co., Deed Book 1, p. 342: John Graves assigns over all rights, etc., to the above 100 acres on the Pamunkey to his son John, 20 March 1706/7.

Spotsylvania Co. Deed Book A, May 24, 1729. Thomas Gambrill of St. Margaret's Parish, King William Co. In consideration of 100 acres of land, a tract of land containing 200 acres in Spotsylvania Co. (one of the witnesses to this deed was Thomas Graves).

This deed does not describe the bounds of the 100 acres which John Jr. traded off in King William Co., but inasmuch as he was described as being of King and Queen and owning 100 acres in King William, it must be the same 100 acres assigned to him as a Deed of Gift by his father John Graves Sr. There are no other records showing the disposal of the 100 acres or of any other John Graves owning 100 acres in this section.

Spotsylvania Co. Deed Book F, p. 563, May 31, 1765. John and Frances Graves made a Deed of Gift to their son, Joseph Graves, specifically mentioning the 200 acres content and that it was purchased by them in 1729 from Thomas Gambrill.

Journal of the House of Burgess (1712-1726), p. 56: William Smith of King William Co. petitions for a bill to make good the title on entailed land he sold to John Graves Jr., 16 Nov. 1713.

It is obvious John Graves Jr. was of age by 1713 and most likely either of age or very close in 1706/7 when given the land on Pamunkey by his father. Therefore, John Jr. was probably born 1685-90 and was the oldest of John Sr.'s known sons. By this same reasoning, John Sr. must have been born by 1670 and more likely by 1665.

Although there is no record of John Sr. moving to Spotsylvania Co., Va., it is likely that he moved with his sons. In Spotsylvania Co. Order Book (1730-38), p. 501, 7 June 1737, John Graves is set free of any county levies, he being very ancient and unable to labor. There is no other John in the area to whom this description would apply. It is also more appropriate for a man born 1765 than the John who was probably baptized 1677. John Graves Sr. died sometime after 1737.

Thomas Graves, in his will of 1768, specifically mentions Joseph Graves (son of John Graves, Jr. of Spotsylvania Co.) as his nephew and makes him executor of his will. This proves beyond contention that John Graves, Jr. and Thomas Graves, both of Spotsylvania Co., were brothers and the sons of John Graves Sr. of King and Queen Co.

The evidence for Joseph Graves as a son is discussed in the section on Joseph and his family.

Miss Louise Graves, in her book referenced at the end of this paragraph, has an excellent discussion of the ancestry of this John Graves. On pages 47-50 of her book, she points out the errors in the lineage of this line in the publications of Mrs. Hiden and John Card Graves. She quotes Mr. John Frederick Dorman as stating, "The John Graves of King and Queen Co. who deeded 100 acres in King William Co. to his son is the only logical John Graves to be the father of Thomas and John Jr.... The deed of 1706/7 appears to be an adult John Jr., and if that is so we must put his birth as ca. 1685 and the father's birth back before 1665. This would make the father a contemporary of John Graves of St. Ann's Parish, Essex Co. (will 1719-20) who was of age when he purchased 200 acres there. Neither of these John Graves is identified in Adventurers of Purse and Person although they fall within the generations covered in that book. They must be either sons of Thomas Graves, Jr., or Francis Graves, or grandsons of John Graves, the eldest son of old Captain Thomas." (R-14, R-501)

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (13)

John Graves (44) was christened 1677 in St. Peter's Church, Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va. The most likely death date for John is by 1716, since a Rebecca Graves appears in the Essex Co., Va. estate settlement of Richard Brecknell in 1716 (not as an heir). No other Rebecca is known to fit this circumstance other than the wife of John. The payment to her for some debt indicates she was either single or a widow.

[The death date of 1747 given by John Card Graves is for John Graves (#113). A date of 1737 (from Mrs. Ethel Taylor) is from Spotsylvania Co. records, where a John Graves, very ancient, was exempt from taxes in 1737. This was John Graves (#42).]

John married Rebecca ------. She probably survived her husband, as indicated in the first paragraph. The children listed below plus a daughter Elizabeth were named by John Card Graves (R-515). Charles Hughes Hamlin (The Graves Newsletter, vol. 1, no. 4, pp. 4-6, and vol. 2, no. 1, pp. 2-5) agreed with John Card Graves, except that he did not list Elizabeth. (R-515)

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (32) AND JOHANNA ------

Jane Graves (104) was probably born about 1701-05. Her name was given as Jean in her father's will (?), but the names Jean and Jane were often used interchangeably. She married John Coffey, son of Edward Coffey (or Coffee) and Ann Powell, probably about 1728, in Essex Co., Va. Edward died testate in Essex Co., probate 20 March 1716, naming sons John and Edward, both under age 16, son Austin (although there is a possibility this is a daughter Austis or Austes), and daughters Martha, Ann, and Elizabeth. John died testate in 1775 in Albemarle Co., Va., naming his wife as Jean. (Incorrect information is shown in The Abridged Compendium of American Genealogy, vol. 3, p. 464.)

John was born no earlier than 1700 in Essex Co., Va. (since he was under 16 when his father died), and died in March 1775 in Albemarle Co., Va.

Jane and John lived in Spotsylvania Co., Va. (where many records were lost when the courthouse was burned in the War Between the States in 1865) and also in Albemarle Co., Va.

It has been believed by some that Jane and John had another daughter, Martha Elizabeth Coffey, who married John Cleveland. However, that is not correct. Elizabeth Coffey, daughter of Edward Coffey and sister of John Coffey, is the one who married John Cleveland. This couple lived most of their lives at Blue Run, Orange Co., Va., and had several famous sons, most notably Col. Benjamin Cleveland of Revolutionary War fame.

Also, at least one source (R-20) states that John Cleveland was born 1701, died 1786, and married Martha about 1720. These dates would have made it impossible for Martha to be a daughter of Jane and John. Mr. Coffey (R-522) has concluded (after thorough examination of the evidence) that John Cleveland was born 31 July 1714 in Gloucester Co., Va., died in Nov. 1778 in Blue Run, Orange Co., Va., and married Elizabeth Coffey on 20 April 1734. She was born about 1714 in Essex Co., Va.

The first 6 children listed below were born in Essex Co., Va., Reuben was born in either Essex of Spotsylvania Co., and Benjamin was born in Spotsylvania Co., Va.

Further information on Jane Graves and John Coffey and all their known descendants is given in James Bluford Coffey, His Ancestors and Descendants in America, vol. II, by Marvin D. Coffey, 1984. However, as an aid to people trying to connect to this ancestor, the next 4 generations after Jane and John Coffey are given in this book also. (R-14, R-20, R-29, R-522)

CHILDREN OF FRANCIS GRAVES, JR. (33)

Clara Graves (107) married Aaron Higginbotham, Sr., son of John Higginbotham and Frances Riley, not later than 1746 (possibly 1739) in Amherst Co., Va. He was a brother of Benjamin who married Clara's sister Elizabeth. He was born in 1715 in Va., and died in 1785 in Amherst Co., Va., since his will was proved 3 Oct. 1785 in Amherst Co.

Aaron was a Captain in the Amherst Co., Va. Militia in 1769. He was also a Church Warden and Vestryman of Lexington Parish, Amherst Co., Va. (R-518, R-521)

Elizabeth Graves (108) was born about 1733 in Essex Co., Va., and died after 1790 in Elbert Co., Ga. She married Benjamin Higginbotham, son of John Higginbotham and Frances Riley, on 21 Feb. 1750 (or 1753) in Albemarle Co. (now Amherst Co.), Va. He was born about 1728 in Goochland Co. (now Amherst Co.), Va., and died in 1791 in Elbert Co., Ga. His father, John Higginbotham, was born 1695 in St. Philip Parish, Barbados, and died 1741-44 in Goochland Co. (now Amherst Co.), Va. Benjamin was a brother of Aaron Higginbotham who married Elizabeth's sister Clara. Benjamin moved his family to what became Elbert Co., Ga. from Amherst Co., Va. about 1784. Thomas Higginbotham, his uncle, moved to Georgia from Virginia in 1751. All the following children were born in Albemarle Co. (or its successor, Amherst Co.), Va. (R-18, R-518)

Children - Higginbotham

+219. Francis Higginbotham, b.c. 1765, m. Dolly Gatewood, 2 Dec. 1783, d. 26 March 1829.

 

William Graves (110) was born about 1724 (as proven by oath in Henry Co., VA) in Essex Co., VA, and died about 1809 in Franklin Co., VA. He married Dorothy ------ (probably Smith, of the Peyton Smith family). They moved to Pittsylvania Co., VA about 1773, in the area of Pigg River.

There has been some confusion between this William Graves and #284. See the Appendix of this book for an article from the Graves Family Newsletter, 1984, pp. 36-41, discussing the results of extensive research that shows that this William Graves was not the William Graves (#284) who was a son of Thomas Graves who was born 1691 and married Ann Davenport, but rather a son of Francis Graves, Jr.

Other misconceptions and areas for further research and evidence are listed below.

(R-14, R-19, R-179, R-186, R-515)

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (35) AND ELIZABETH MOODY

John Graves (113) was born 10 Dec. 1712 (family Bible record) in Essex Co. (later Spotsylvania Co.), Va., and died between 30 March 1747 (date of his will) and 2 June 1747 (date of probate in Spotsylvania Co., Va.). He may have been named for his grandfather, John Moody, and his middle name may have been Moody. He lived all his life in Essex Co.

He married Susannah Dicken on 22 Nov. 1732. She was probably a daughter of Isaac Dicken. She was born 14 June 1714, and died in 1784 in Culpeper Co., Va. After John died, she married Henry Chiles. Henry had first been married to Mercy Webb. (R-5, R-507)

Mrs. Davis says it is possible he was born 1706, as per Hamlin, and the Bible birth dates are incorrect (possibly caused by a descendant making the entries). That possibility could place John as #125, son of John Graves who was christened 1677. (R-14)

Children - Graves

246. Sarah Graves

+247. Richard Graves, Jr., b.c. 1735-40, m. Susannah ------, d. 1797.

 

Francis Graves (115) was born in 1724 and died 23 March 1792. He married Susannah (?) ------. (She may have been Susannah Longest, possible daughter of Timothy Longest, mentioned later in this section.)

His land seems to have been in the same neighborhood as that of his uncle, Francis Graves, and he associated with the same families. In 1757 (Deed Book 27, p. 321) he and William Reynolds, William Watkins and Leonard Hill witnessed a deed from Thomas Coleman to Richard Hill. The next year he bought of Samuel and Ann Cross 62 acres devised to said Samuel by the will of his father, Joseph Cross, who bought this land Feb. 19, 1744/5 from John Cheek of Drysdale Parish; witnesses: John Garnett, Jr., Joseph Cross, William Southworth (Deed Book 28, p. 79). In 1762, he bought from John and Mary Garnett 48 acres purchased by said Garnett in 1746 of Thomas Hobson (Deed Book 29, p. 83). In 1763 (Deed Book 29, p. 220) he bought 47-1/2 acres in South Farnham Parish, adjoining John Hill, Graves and Watkins, from Richard Holt, Sr., and Mary his wife of King and Queen Co. The Garnetts and Graveses had long been neighbors, and in 1751 (Deed Book 25, p. 131) Reuben and Sarah Noell for love and affection had deeded "to our brother John Garnett, Jr." land adjoining lands of "Ann Graves widow of Francis Graves," John Satterwhite, Philip Sanders and Ann Dickie, widow. In 1761 (Deed Book 29, p. 10) Thomas Davis, tailor, of the Parish of Nottoway, Co. of Amelia, sold to Francis Graves (husband of Susannah) of South Farnham Parish 100 acres in St. Ann's Parish which John Davis, father of said Thomas, purchased of George Coleman, adjoining John Garnett; wit.: Leonard Hill, James Evans, Richard Hill, Jr., and Martha Beazley.

The obituary of Francis Graves (Richmond, Va. Gazette and General Advertiser, April 4, 1792) is as follows: "Died on Friday" March "23rd at his seat in Essex after a long and painful illness which he bore with a deal of fortitude. Mr. Francis Graves in the 68th year of his age much lamented by all those who had the pleasure of his acquaintance."

His will (Essex Will Book 14, p. 285) mentions son Francis, to whom is left "the land I purchased of Thomas Davis"; daughter Luca Spearman; son Rice, who receives "land I purchased of Richard Holt and also that purchased from Samuel Cross to John Hill's line"; and daughter Betty Graves. The wording of these bequests shows that the sons were not at this time residents of Essex. The only mention in Essex that has been found of Rice is when with wife Elizabeth and Susannah Graves he witnessed on 21 Dec. 1779 the will of Timothy Longest. The will was proved 19 Dec. 1781 by Rice and Elizabeth Graves. Susannah, most likely, was Rice's mother, and had died in the interim. Francis's will mentions no wife, so he evidently was a widower.

Ralph Graves (116) first married Mary Pinkethman, daughter of William Pinkethman. He secondly married Elizabeth ------. He died in Feb. 1748/9.

Ralph increased his holdings by purchasing 825 acres in Charles Parish known as "Boar Quarters"; also three plantations from George Baskerville; and 130 acres from John Hillyard. His will dated Feb. 11, 1748/9, was proved May 15, 1749, and in his will he described himself as "of Bruton Parish." (R-179, R-515)

Henry White Graves (117) was born about 1692 in York Co., Va., and died about 1745 (between 1743 and 1746) in Virginia. He first married Mary Jones, probably a daughter of Rice Jones and Elizabeth Croshaw. He secondly married Mary Williams. She was a daughter of Lieut. Col. John Williams and his wife Mary Keeling of York Co., Va., who later moved to Hanover Co., Va.

According to Delbert Cox, Henry White Graves and family moved to Granville Co., N.C., in the 1750's with a relative, Samuel Henderson, and Henry White Graves died in Granville Co. (This seems to contradict the information given above.)

Much of the information about Henry White Graves and his descendants is from Barbara Graves Billings, although she does not make any claims for a first marriage to Mary Jones. For additional information, see The Graves Newsletter, vol. 1, no. 3, pp. 10-16. The information from the John Card Graves manuscripts is very confused and does not agree with this.

According to Mrs. Hiden (R-524), "Henry5 Graves of Hanover Co., Va. patented land there in 1731 (S.L.O., Book 13, p. 173). When he sold this land three years later with consent of his wife Mary, it is described as adjoining Major Leigh, John Saunders, Capt. Crawford and other lands of Henry5 Graves (Hanover Rec., 1730-35, p. 128). In 1730 (Goochland D.B. 3, p. 90) John Williams, Sr. of Hanover, had sold to his son, John Williams, Jr., 425 acres on the north side of James River on the branches or meanders of Tuckahoe, part of a patent granted him on Oct. 31, 1716. This was witnessed by Henry5 and Ralph6 Graves. On 10 Sept. 1737, John Williams, who had now moved to Goochland, sold 293 acres more of the same patent to Henry5 Graves of Hanover (ibid, p. 92). In 1743 (Car. O.B., 1741-46, p. 204), John Daniel of the York Co. family and who owned land in Hanover, paid Henry5 Graves 145 lbs. tobacco for one day's attendance at court as a witness for him, coming and going 40 miles. He died between this date and 1746, for in the latter year, Ralph6 Graves appeared as a tithable for Mary Graves (Goochland Loose Papers, Archives Div., Va. State Library). He seems to have been twice married, first to a daughter of Rice Jones and Elizabeth Croshaw, probably Mary. By this marriage there was at least one child, Ralph6, born probably about 1710."

In addition to the proven children of Henry5 Graves of Hanover Co., Mrs. Hiden believed he had yet another son whose widow, Elizabeth, was the grantor in the following deed (see p. 264, R-524).

In Mecklenberg D.B. 2, p. 4, on May 10, 1767, Elizabeth Graves of St. James Parish of said county, for love and affection, bound herself in the penalty of double the amount to give to her son Thomas Graves when he should attain the age of 21 years the sum of 30 pounds current Va. money; the witnesses were Henry6 and Elijah6 Graves, whose ancestry was previously discussed. This bond of Elizabeth was probably given preparatory to a second marriage. In 1779 (Lunenburg D.B. 13, p. 206), Andrew Gregory of Mecklenburg for 30 pounds current money sold to Thomas Graves of Lunenburg 100 acres lying on Juniper Creek adjoining Samuel Jordan, Edward Slaughter and Joseph Johnson. In 1798 (ibid, D.B. 18, p. 44), Thomas Graves and Sarah his wife of Mecklenburg and William Townsend and Elizabeth his wife of Lunenburg to Samuel Jordan of Lunenburg for 100 pounds current money convey 100 acres on the branches of Juniper Creek adjoining James Shelbourne, David Wood, Jeremiah Slaughter, Young Slaughter and Edward Slaughter. From the above, it would seem Thomas's mother secondly married William Townsend and had some rights in this 100 acres, else she would not have joined in the deed. We do not know the date of Thomas's removal to Mecklenburg, but it must have been after 1790, at which time he was residing in Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg Co., with 3 tithables (Sunlight on the Southside, p. 240).

Although Henry White Graves named a daughter Mary in his first marriage, it would not be unusual for him to repeat the name in his second group of children. There is some belief that John may have married Rachel Graves.

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (42)

John Graves, Jr. (121) was born about 1685-90, and most likely about 1685, as shown in the deed discussed in the section on his father. He was probably born in either York Co. or New Kent Co., Va. He died after 1772. He married Frances ------ about 1715. The first record of John's arrival in Spotsylvania Co. is found in Deed Book A, p. 405: John Graves, Jr. of St. Stephens Parish, King and Queen Co., purchases 200 acres of land in Spotsylvania Co. for 100 acres of land in King William Co. from Thomas Gambrill of St. Margaret's Parish, King William Co., 24 May 1729; wit: Thomas Graves. This deed is the key to the relationships of the Graves of King William Co. and King and Queen Co. to those who were later in Spotsylvania Co. It proves that John Jr. of Spotsylvania Co. is the same John Jr. who received the 100 acres from his father in King William Co. in 1706. It also proves that Thomas Graves (#122) was a brother of John Jr., and therefore also a son of John Graves Sr. In 1765, John and Frances deeded this very same land to their son Joseph, reserving a lifetime tenancy for themselves (Spotsylvania Co., Deed Book F, p. 563). This Joseph is named by Thomas Graves as his nephew and an executor of his will, confirming that John Jr. and Thomas were brothers.

John Graves Jr. owned land in several counties, which he gave as gifts to his sons over the years, but he maintained his original Spotsylvania Co. residency as witnessed by the above deed. Frances died between 1765 and 1772. John died sometime after 1772 when he made a final gift to his son Joseph. (R-14, R-511, R-515)

280. Frances Graves, m. Joseph Bush, d. before 1809. He died in 1809. He secondly married Mary Ann ------. His father was Philip Bush of Orange Co., Va. They had 9 or 10 children.

 

Thomas Graves (122) was born in 1691 (based on a deposition, Caroline O.B. 1746-54, p. 362), and died in 1768 in Spotsylvania Co., Va. Mrs. Hiden states: "in the absence of documentary proof, we can still feel confident that Thomas Graves was the son of a John Graves who had lived in King and Queen Co. but was of the Gloucester Co. family, born about 1670, son of Thomas and Mary Graves, son of Thomas, son of Capt. Thomas."

Thomas Graves consistently maintained his residence on the Pamunkey in Spotsylvania Co., Va. His wife Ann (or Anne or Sarah Ann) has generally been thought to be a Davenport, daughter of William Davenport and Anne Woodruff, but Mrs. Hiden thought she was more likely a Clark, or of that family connection. Mrs. Taylor says she was born before 1696. She lived until 1782, and during the Revolution she furnished supplies to the Continental troops.

It appears that Thomas Graves first married Mary Perkins by 1715, and had by this marriage only three children, two daughters and one son. His wife then died and he remarried by no later than 1721. The son was John Graves, but the names of the daughters by this first marriage are not known. The source for these statements is a record from the Bible of Solomon Graves, son of Rev. Barzillai Graves (who died 1827). A copy of the Bible record was made by the N.C. Archives in 1971. A detailed discussion of this is in the Appendix of this book.

The will of Thomas Graves (Spotsylvania Co. Rec. Will Book D, p. 318) was dated 17 Oct. 1767, probated 6 June 1768, but final settlement was not until July 1802. Thomas is credited with a total of 16 children. However, the estate settlement plainly states there were only 15 legatees. There were probably other children who died before reaching adulthood. There is some question about some of the following children, and additional proof is needed. Mrs. Ethel Taylor suggests that there may also have been another child named Sarah.

295. Mary Graves, m. ------ Campbell (?). John Bostick signed receipts for her in all disbursements from her father's estate.

 

Joseph Graves (123) migrated from Orange Co., VA to Rowan Co. or Surry Co., NC prior to 1771, probably 1763-1769. (Surry Co. was formed from Rowan Co. in 1770.) He married Sarah ------. He may only have had the one child listed below, since she is the only one mentioned in his will. His will in Surry Co., NC was dated 12 July 1774 and proved in August Court 1774. In it he mentioned his wife Sarah, his daughter Mary, and his son-in-law Benjamin Cleveland. It leaves portions of his estate to his daughter's two sons, Absalom and John Cleveland, and states that Benjamin Cleveland, husband of his daughter, be executor of his estate.

Joseph lived in Orange Co., VA, and later on Roaring Creek, Rowan (later Surry, now Wilkes) Co., NC. (Wilkes Co. was formed from Surry Co. in 1777.)

Mrs. P. W. Hiden found a 1752 Orange Co. land sale by a Joseph Graves with the consent of his wife Sarah. Mrs. Hiden thought this was Joseph6, son of John5 and Frances, and nephew of Thomas5 who married Ann Davenport, descended from Capt. Thomas Graves of VA. That Joseph Graves was b. by 1725 in Spotsylvania Co., VA, d. 12 May 1785 in Orange Co., VA, m(1) Sarah ------, m(2) Frances Coleman. However, that is not possible, since that Joseph died 1785 in Orange Co., VA, whereas the Joseph Graves of interest died 1774 in Surry Co., NC. The Joseph Graves who died 1785 was also too young to be the father of Mary, since she was born about 1738.

A discussion of the evidence for Joseph Graves as a son of John Graves is in the Appendix to this book.

[Prior to determining the ancestry of this Joseph Graves, the following speculation was being pursued: It does appear possible, however, that the Joseph Graves of this genealogy was related to the Joseph Graves who married Frances Coleman. David Graves, son of Thomas Graves and Ann Davenport, was in Surry Co., NC by 1762, before moving to Shelby Co., KY, and it is likely that other members of this family also lived in Surry Co., NC for a few years. Maybe the John4 Graves who was the father of John and Thomas had another son who had a son, Joseph6 Graves. Perhaps, also, there were two men named Joseph Graves in Orange Co., VA, one who married Sarah, and the other who married Frances Coleman (with no first marriage to a Sarah). These possibilities need to be explored. There was also another John Graves (genealogy 56) who died about 1764-68 in Orange Co., NC, may have had a wife Frances, and could have been the father of Joseph Graves.] (R-205, R-210, R-211)

CHILDREN OF EDMUND GRAVES (59)

John Graves (133) was born about 1735. He moved to Halifax Co., Va. in 1771. Some sources have stated that he moved from Spotsylvania Co., Va., but this seems to be in error, according to Mrs. W. E. Mayberry. The only John Graves of Spotsylvania Co. she has found is a descendant of Capt. Thomas Graves' son Francis.

Two of his sons, Easom (or Esom) and Reuben, moved to Jackson Co., Tenn. about 1800.

In Family Puzzlers, p. 14, issue no. 837, Nov. 3, 1983, is a query about three brothers, John, Esom, and Jonas Born, born about 1760, who were from Germany. This raises the possibility that Esom is a German name and that this family has German connections (possibly through John Graves' wife?).

The family of Alva Graves (page 119, 1983 Graves Family Newsletter) was apparently connected with this family. Alva may have been a grandson of John Graves. (R-41, R-43)

Frances Fowke (152) was born 2 Feb. 1691 in Charles Co., Md., died 8 Nov. 1744 at Dipple, Stafford Co., Va., and was buried in Stafford Co., Va. She married Dr. Gustavus Brown of "Rich Hill", Charles Co., Md., son of Gustavus Brown and Jane Mitchelson, in 1710 or 1711. He was born 10 April 1689 in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland, and died of apoplexy in April 1762 at "Rich Hill". His will was dated 9 Dec. 1755 and was probated 12 May 1762 in Charles Co., Md.

CHILDREN OF CLARA GRAVES (107) AND AARON HIGGINBOTHAM

Samuel Higginbotham (208) was born not later than 1747 (possibly 1745) in Albemarle Co., Va., because he was a member of a jury in 1768 and had to be at least 21 to serve. He died intestate in 1803 in Elbert Co., Ga., and was buried in what is now known as the "Hop Brener Place" which is about four miles north of Elbert, Elbert Co., Ga. There is a government marker on his grave.

Samuel married Jane Satterwhite, daughter of John and Ann Satterwhite of Essex Co., Va., not later than 1770 (probably about 1769) in Essex Co., Va. It is believed by some that Jane's mother was Ann Graves (#106), sister of Clara Graves. However, it is more likely that she was a daughter of John Satterwhite, Jr. and Ann Price. Jane was born about 1750 in Caroline Co., Va., and died after 1790 in Elbert Co., Ga.

The civil and military positions held by Samuel Higginbotham included the following: member of a jury in Amherst Co., Va. in 1768; Lieut. in the Amherst Co., Va. Militia in 1769; Lieut. in the Rev. War, acting as a recruiting officer in Va.; Capt. in the Rev. War for Amherst Co., Va. in 1780; Church Warden and Vestryman for Lexington Parish, Amherst Co., Va. in 1781; tax collector in Lexington Parish, Amherst Co., Va. in 1782; Deputy Sheriff in Amherst Co., Va. in 1784; Major in the Amherst Co., Va. Militia in 1785; Colonel in the Amherst Co., Va. Militia in 1787. He moved to Georgia with his family in 1792. He was delegate from Elbert Co., Ga. to the Constitutional Convention in 1795.

The record of this marriage was obtained from an application for a pension made from Elbert Co., Ga. on 21 April 1855 by Jacob's son, John, for the heirs of Jacob Higginbotham because of Jacob's military service in the Revolutionary War.

Jacob died intestate in January 1836. William Pulliam was appointed the administrator of his estate by an Elbert Co., Ga. court on 7 March 1836. (R-521)

Caleb moved to Elbert Co., Ga. (to that part that later became Madison Co., Ga.) in 1791. His brothers and sisters had preceded him there by moving with their father, Benjamin, in 1784 to what became Elbert Co. (R-521)

He married Mary Gatewood, daughter of Larkin Gatewood of Amherst Co., Va., on 21 Jan. 1782. She was probably dead in 1809, because Benjamin did not mention her in his will dated 20 May 1809. The will was proved 3 Sept. 1810.

He served as a captain in the Revolutionary War, and was at the siege of Yorktown. He moved from Va. to Ga., probably after 1783, since his name does not appear in the Amherst Co., Va. census records after 1783. (R-521)

He married Dorothy ("Dolly") Sandidge, daughter of John Sandidge and Keziah Gatewood of Amherst Co., Va. They were already married in 1784, because in an October Court for that year William Higginbotham and Dolly, his wife, acknowledged a deed to Thomas Powell (Amherst Co., Va. Order Book, 1784-1787, p. 404). She was born about 1765 in Amherst Co., Va., and died after 1830 in Perry Co. or Hardin Co., Tenn. They lived in Va., then Ga., and finally Tenn.

William served in the Revolutionary War. From Hardin Co., Tenn. he submitted an application for a pension, dated Jan. 31, 1829, to the Pension Bureau, Washington, D.C., that states he "enlisted Amherst Co., Va., Jan. 6, 1777, as Sergt. in Capt. Samuel J. Cabell's Co., 6th Va. Regt.; again enlisted Dec. 1778 and served to the end of the war in Capt. James Mabon's Co., 2nd Va. Regt...." His claim was allowed. (R-147, R-521)

The name of Francis Higginbotham is recorded in an April 1782 court of Amherst Co., Va. as a claimant for public services rendered during the Rev. War.

William Graves (222) was born 9 (or 7) July 1755 in Virginia, and died 24 Feb. 1836 in Manack, Lowndes Co. (or Autauga Co.), Ala. He married Sarah ("Sally") Smith on 5 Nov. 1782 in Bedford Co., Va. (Another source has said the marriage was in 1783 or 1784.) She was a daughter of either Peyton Smith of Pittsylvania Co., Va., or Charles and Nancy Smith. Sally was born in 1760 or 1761 and died 2 Oct. 1841. They were both buried in the Manack Cem., Lowndes Co., Ala.

According to R-268, Sally was born 1761 in Bedford Co., VA, and died 12 Oct. 1841 in Lowndesboro, AL. She first married William Baker. She was a daughter of Charles Smith and Nancy ------, and was descended from immigrant Christopher Smith as follows: Christopher1 Smith, b.c. 1601, arrived in the Returne at age 23 and was in the muster of Thomas Godby in 1624 for Elizabeth City, m. Elizabeth Townley, Lawrence2, b. 29 March 1629 in Burnley Parish, Lancashire, England, m. Mary Hitchen, Charles3, b.c. 1670, m. Dorothy (possibly Peyton), Robert4, b.c. 1701, m. Elizabeth ------, Charles M.5, b.c. 1740, m. Nancy ------, Sarah6, b. 1761.

William served as a wagon conductor of military supplies in John Fontaine's Co. of Henry Co. Militia, which on 11 May 1781 was ordered from Henry Co. to the assistance of Gen. Greene at Hillsborough, N.C. After the Revolutionary War, he moved to Washington Co., Ga., and took up land, where he and his family lived until 1817. There is on record in the Ga. State Archives at Atlanta, the following grant, which may have been his original land grant in Georgia: "Graves, Willam - 287-1/2 acres in Washington Co., 17 May 1784. Warrant No. 1192, p. 4." This portion of Washington Co. later became Oglethorpe Co.

In the winter of 1817, William Graves and most of his family moved from Oglethorpe Co., Ga., and settled near Manack Station, Lowndes Co., Ala., where he died. His will is dated 23 Feb. 1836, and is recorded in Book C, vol. 3, p. 347, 1834-1838, at Prattville, Autauga Co., Ala. All their children were born in Ga.

Alabama Records, Vol. 206, Autauga County, Alabama, compiled by Kathleen Paul Jones Ganrud, abstracts William's will. His inheritors are: His grandson, Young William Graves, his wife, Sarah, and his "children and their heirs as follows: viz to the heirs of the body of Mary Alexander, the heirs of the body of Susan Clark, to Sally Varner and the heirs of her body; to Dorothy Fitzpatrick and the heirs of her body; to Martha Shelton and the heirs of her body; William Graves, Jr. and his heirs; to Charles Graves and his heirs; to David Graves and his heirs; to P.S.

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (113) AND SUSANNAH DICKEN

Thomas Graves (240) was born 14 Nov. 1733, and died in 1810 in Wolftown, Madison Co., Va. He married Sarah Delaney, daughter of John Delaney (or Dulaney) and Frances Stanton, about 1752. Frances Stanton was a daughter of Thomas and Sarah Stanton. The will of Thomas Stanton, dated 2 Oct. 1741 (Orange Co. Rec., W.B. 1, p. 177), mentions daughter Frances Delaney, and the will of John Delaney, dated 28 April 1800 (Madison Rec., W.B. 1, p. 409), mentions daughter Sarah Graves. This will also mentions Thomas Graves, proving that he was alive in 1800, and could not possibly be the Thomas who died in 1792, as stated by Hamlin.

Sarah died before 1810. They lived in what is now Wolftown, Madison Co., Va. It was known as Culpeper Co. when he settled there on the Rapidan River. The mill of Thomas Graves, built 1780-1790, is still standing at Graves Mill, Madison Co., Va. The following children are all listed in the will of Thomas Graves, dated 28 April 1809, probated 22 March 1810 (Madison Rec., W.B. 2, p. 240). All their children were born in Culpeper Co., Va. (R-103, R-507, R-515)

535. Elizabeth Graves, b. 14 Feb. 1771, m. James Clark, 2 Feb. 1807 (Madison Co., Va.). He was a son of Reuben Clark and Bathsheba Sampson. They lived in Richmond, Ind. There is some confusion with a Liza Graves, b. 1 Dec. 1787, who supposedly m. James Clark and may or may not be the same as Elizabeth.

+536. Elijah Graves, b. 3 Sept. 1773, m. Sarah Gaines, 1 March 1797, d. 1800.

537. Lydia Graves, b. 23 May 1775, m. Joel Eddins, 22 Dec. 1795 (Madison Co., Va.). He was a son of Joseph Eddins, Jr. and Sarah Blakey. They lived near Richmond, Ind. There was a Moley or Molly Graves, b. 29 Dec. 1776, who may be the same as Lydia.

538. Ann ("Nancy") Graves, b. 20 Oct. 1779, m. George H. Allen, 18 March 1806 (Madison Co., Va.). He was the first High Sherriff of Madison Co., Va. Either Ann's birthdate or that of her brother Asa must be wrong, since they are too close together.

+539. Asa Walker Graves, b. 25 Jan. 1780, m. Sarah Kirtley, 3 March 1815, d. 17 Feb. 1840.

+540. Jane Graves, b. 1 Dec. 1783, m. Edwin Cuddin Davis, 30 Jan. 1811.

 

John Graves (242) was born 19 Dec. 1737, and died 8 Dec. 1825 in Boone Co., Ky. He married Ann Rice, daughter of William Rice and Sarah Helms of Culpeper Co., Va., on 30 Nov. 1760. She was born about 1740 and died 8 Dec. 1825 at age 86. The will of William Rice, probated 17 April 1780, gives property to his daughters, Ann and Sarah, wives of John Graves and his brother Edward. Ann Rice was born 21 Nov. 1741, and died 12 Nov. 1826 in Boone Co., Ky. They moved from Culpeper Co. (now Madison Co.), Va. to Boone Co., Ky. in 1797. Their entire family of children and grandchildren went with them or moved soon afterwards.

They went down the Ohio River in small boats and landed on the Kentucky side at North Bend opposite the place where President William Henry Harrison later made his home. The whole country through which they went was one vast wilderness. Cincinnati at the time was only a military post. John Graves was a man of tall, slender form over six feet in height, was upright in all his dealings, peaceable and polite, of strong and fervent religious character. (R-5, R-39, R-507, R-515)

Isaac Graves (243) was born 2 Sept. 1741 and died in 1818. He first married Mildred McWilliams before 1773. She died about a year after their marriage, at the birth of a child who died in infancy, so there were no surviving children.

For his second wife, he married Elizabeth Cowherd (pronounced Coward), daughter of Jonathan Cowherd and Sarah Kirtley, in 1772. She was born 28 Nov. 1751 and died 18 March 1791.

For his third wife, he married Jemima Holliday, daughter of Joseph Holliday and Betty Lewis, about 1791. She was born 29 May 1754 and died 5 Feb. 1836.

Isaac Graves was a prosperous farmer and accumulated a large landed estate. He settled most of his sons on farms adjoining his home plantation in Orange Co., Va. He owned many negroes and kindly cared for them when they grew old. He provided private schools for his children, who received excellent education for that day. (R-507, R-515)

CHILDREN OF FRANCIS GRAVES (115)

Francis Graves (248) was born about 1746 and died by 1806. He married Martha Johnson on 19 Aug. 1783 (Henrico Co. Marriage Book). She died by 1806.

Francis Graves, aged 36, a merchant, was listed in 1782 as having been a resident of Richmond, Va. for 7 months (Heads of Families, First Census of the U.S., 1790, State Enumerations of Va. from 1782 to 1785, p. 111). He had dealings in several counties, and is found in Halifax and Louisa Co. records, as well as in Richmond.

His parentage is proved by the following: Essex Deed Book 34, p. 87, March 28, 1794, Francis Graves and Martha his wife of Richmond to James Sale of Essex for 130 pounds current money all that parcel of land in St. Ann's Parish which my father Francis Graves purchased of Thomas Davis March 8, 1761, beginning at land formerly owned by John Garnett decd. and by him sold to Francis Graves and others containing 99-1/2 acres, reserving 1/2 acre for a graveyard and liberty of traveling there on foot. Witnesses: E. Davis, James Spearman, Samuel Griffin.

Despite search, nothing definite is known of the place or date of death of Francis and Martha Graves, though both were dead by 1806. In that year (Chancery Court, Richmond, Book 4, p. 560) John Addison and Elizabeth his wife, formerly Elizabeth Graves, Francis Graves and Samuel Graves, "which said Francis, William and Samuel are children of Francis Graves decd. and infant under the age of 21 by John Addison their guardian," conveyed to Joseph Higbee a certain lot in Richmond known as "Rof's Tenement." With reference to these children of Francis, there is information about only one, Francis Jr., who never married and died in Goochland Co. in 1858.

CHILDREN OF RALPH GRAVES (116)

William Graves (252) was born by 1728 and died testate in 1782 in York Co., Va. He married Ann ------ (probably Brown or Browne), recorded in the register of Bruton Parish, York Co., Va. She seems to have predeceased her husband. The tax records show that he owned land in James City Co. He succeeded his father as surveyor of the highways. He was for some years a justice of York Co. In 1779 he was appointed sheriff.

His will was dated 19 Aug. 1781 and proved 17 June 1782 in York Co. His plantation home was in James City Co. His son Ralph Graves and brother Richard Croshaw Graves were appointed executors of his estate.

She married Benjamin Hendrick (or Hendricks), son of William Hendrick, on 16 Oct. (or Dec.) 1750, probably in Hanover Co., VA. He was born 3 (or 30) June 1730 in Hanover Co., VA, and died in March 1818 at age 88 in Chesterfield Co., SC. He secondly married Mrs. Sarah Smith, previously wife of Robert Smith, in 1816 (notice in Georgetown Gazette, Georgetown, SC, in 1816).

According to deed records, Benjamin and Rachel were of Hanover Co., Va., before buying land in Granville Co., N.C. They next moved to Mecklenburg Co., Va., with Rachel's brother Elijah Graves and their mother Mary Williams Graves. Benjamin and Rachel went to Anson Co., N.C./Chesterfield Co., S.C. before 1800. They are shown on the tax roll for Anson Co., N.C., in 1790.

The Bible does not list all the children of Benjamin and Rachel, since it belonged to one of their children or grandchildren. It only lists Mary and David. (R-90, R-92, R-93)

John Williams Graves (265) married Mary (Jones? or Moore?). He was a Captain. He died in Granville Co., N.C. in 1788/9, and left a will. Mary then married John William Daniel, a first cousin to John Williams Graves.

Catherine Graves is included in the following list of children by Mrs. Billings because of a Granville Co. record, dated 1802, in which Mary Graves, widow of John Williams Graves, gave property to John Graves, Ralph Graves, William Graves, James Hart, and Groves Howard (Granville Co. W.B. 7, p. 453). All of the other children mentioned were sons, or the husband of a daughter. Since the will of John W. Graves requested that his property be divided among all his children, it is reasonable to assume that Groves Howard was the husband of their daughter Catherine Graves. However, other sources say Catherine was the daughter of John Herndon Graves of Caswell Co. Based on the will of John Herndon Graves, which lists Katie Howard, it seems more likely that she is his daughter. The first two children listed below were born in Mecklenburg Co., Va., and the last three were born in Granville Co., N.C.

She was born about 1745 in Albemarle Co., Va, and died in 1803. He died at Grassy Creek, Granville Co., N.C. in 1797, will dated 12 July 1797 in Granville Co., NC.

He died in 1798, apparently murdered by a negro man named Nathaniel. His will is recorded in Mecklenburg Co., Va. He served in the Revolution, and was commissioned as Captain in the Mecklenburg Militia on 12 Feb. 1781. The first two children listed below were born in Granville Co., N.C., and the last three were born in Mecklenburg Co., Va.

A son (269) married Elizabeth ------. He had apparently died by 1767 and Elizabeth probably married again soon after that to William Townsend (see the discussion in the previous generation for his father). A William and Elizabeth Townsend cosigned a deed with Thomas and Sarah Graves. (R-77, R-524)

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (121) AND FRANCES ------

Elizabeth ("Betty") Graves (274) was born 14 Feb. 1720 in Spotsylvania Co., Va., and died 6 Jan. 1826 in Green Co., Ky. She married William Sandidge (or Sandridge), son of William Sandidge and Anne Pulliam. He died testate in Albemarle Co., Va., probated July 1777. His will was dated 16 Jan. 1776, and mentioned all his children.

A note of interest concerning the Sandridge name is that the original spelling is Sandwich, pronounced Sandage or Sandige. The letter "r" was added to the spelling of the name during the Revolutionary War period, reason unknown.

According to R-256, there was another child named Nancy Sandidge, born 1762. (R-14, R-138, R-511)

Children - Sandidge

+661. Mary Sandidge, b.c. 1748, m. Littleberry Lane.

663. Stephen Sandidge, b.c. 1752, m. Sarah Henderson.

664. William Sandidge, b.c. 1754, m. Susannah Spencer, d. 1786. William died testate in Albemarle Co., Va. He named one son Augustine, and asked his brother to take him.

+665. Ann Sandidge, b.c. 1756, m. Gideon Carr.

+666. Mildred Sandidge, b.c. 1756-58, m. John Hall, c. 1776, d. after 1821.

667. John Sandidge, b. 25 Nov. 1760, m. Mary ("Polly") Wood, d. 27 July 1832 (Wilson Hill, Greene Co., Ky.). She was born 1760 or 1762 in Louisa Co., Va., and died 4 March 1824 at Wilson Hill, Ky.

668. Susannah Sandidge, b.c. 1764, m. William Thurman, d. before 1826.

 

Thomas Graves (275) was born by 1724, as his father, John Jr., gave him 200 acres on Muddy Run in 1745 (Orange Co., VA Deed Book 10, p. 24, 1745), and he would have had to have been at least 21 to own land. Thomas and his wife Elizabeth sold this land on 22 April 1757. By then it had become part of Culpeper Co., VA (Culpeper Deed Book C, p. 3). It is possible that Elizabeth was the widow Elizabeth Simms. In commenting on this, Mrs. Sue Davis said: "Mrs. Hiden thought it possible that Elizabeth was also called Ann and a daughter of Thomas Sims who died testate 1785 in Culpeper Co., Va., naming a daughter Ann Graves. This seems unlikely, as Thomas and Elizabeth's daughter married Zachariah Sims, son of Thomas Sims, who died 1785. If Ann were her mother, she would have married her uncle." However, the fact that one of their grandchildren was named Thomas Sims Graves raises the question of whether he may have been named after his great-grandfather.

Thomas Graves died in 1792 (before 18 June 1792, the date his will was proved), testate, in Culpeper Co., VA. Elizabeth had died before this date, since she was not named in the will.

According to tradition, Thomas and Elizabeth had 13 or 14 children. The first 9 children listed below are named in the will of Thomas, and the will gives no implication of other children. Although Mrs. Hiden credits Thomas with several other children, Mrs. Sue Davis (R-14) knew of no evidence to support this. (R-12, R-14, R-511, R-512)

Also mentioned was James Parks as executor, and son John who married Lucy Farquson 10 May 1772 (Genealogical Notes, by Slaughter). (R-38, R-511)

Joseph Graves (277) was born by 1725 in Spotsylvania Co., Va., and died 12 May 1785 in Orange Co., Va. He was working in an iron foundry in Orange Co., Va. when he died. His will was probated in 1786. He first married Sarah ------. He secondly married Frances ("Frankey") Coleman, daughter of John Coleman (1723-1764, who supposedly served three years in the Revolutionary Army, but, if so, his death date must have been later) and Eunice ("Nicie") Hawes (1725-1807, daughter of Samuel Hawes and ------ Spencer). Frances was born Dec. 1744, and died Dec. 1843 in Fayette Co., Ky. (although John Card Graves said she died in 1828). Joseph received from his parents deeds of land and chattels on 2 June 1762 and 31 May 1765. After he died, his wife and children went to Ky. and settled near Lexington in the early part of the 19th century. All the following children are supposedly by Joseph's marriage to Frances.

John Graves (281) was born about 1715, and died 18 Jan. 1792 in Caswell Co., N.C. Mrs. Hiden believed that John may have married twice and that his first wife may have been a Herndon. All authorities agree that John married Isabella (or Isabel) Lea. John Card Graves states that Isabella was related to the Herndon family of Va. Mrs. Louis Balthasar states that Isabella was a daughter of James Lea and Ann Herndon (which would provide the Herndon connection and make the idea of a previous marriage less likely), and that she was married to John in 1752 or 1753. If this marriage date is correct, then there must have been a previous marriage for John Herndon Graves to have been born in 1749. A pedigree chart showing the supposed ancestry of Isabella Lea is below (from Norma Rogers, R-226). (There are serious errors on the chart for the ancestry of John Graves.)

According to a genealogy compiled by Charles T. Stamps, father of William T. Stamps (R-179), John's first wife was Catherine Herndon.

John and Isabella moved from James City Co., Va., where most of their children were born, to what is now Caswell Co., N.C., and settled on County Line Creek in the vicinity of what is now Yanceyville. Deeds to John of property there, dated 4 Oct. 1771 and 2 April 1772, are on record. (R-510, R-515)

Thomas Graves (282) was born by 1721 in St. George Parish, Spotsylvania Co., Va., and died 18 Nov. 1801 in Fayette Co., Ky. (According to John Card Graves, he died about 1822.) He married Isabella (or Isabel or Arabella) Susan Bartlett, sometimes called Susan, by 1751 in Va., probably Louisa Co.

The marriage date is indicated by an Orange Co., Va. deed dated 24 Oct. 1751, Thomas Graves and wife Isabella of Orange Co. sell to William Warren 150 acres on Negro Run of Northanna River, signed by Thomas Graves Jr. and Isabella (X) Graves. Thomas had purchased this land in May 1751 from William and Ann Lea of Louisa Co., Va.

Isabella was a daughter of William Bartlett (d. 1775) and Susanna (or Susannah) ------. William Bartlett was a son of Thomas Bartlett of Spotsylvania Co., Va. Isabella was born about 1737 or earlier in Spotsylvania Co., and died April 1818 in Fayette Co., Ky.

Thomas Graves lived in Spotsylvania Co., then in Orange Co., Va., where he was Constable in 1754, and later he is found in the records of Louisa Co., Va. In Louisa in 1777, his name appears on a tax list being charged with 7 tithables (History of Louisa Co., by Harris, p. 169). About 1784 or 1785 he moved to Fayette Co., Kentucky, where he bought and settled on a 700 acre tract of land (bought from Gen. William Christian of the Revolutionary Army) situated about five miles north of Lexington, Ky. He was a cooper. He was a Revolutionary soldier, and also contributed to the cause by furnishing food and supplies to the Continental troops. He was at the battle of Yorktown, and later stated that he had witnessed the surrender of Cornwallis there (History of Kentucky, by Collins). At one time his home was headquarters for General Lafayette (History of Fayette Co., Ky., by Perrin).

In a suit filed in Fayette Co., Ky., Oct. 1788, "Henderson vs. Graves", Thomas deposed that "sometime before I moved to Kentucky, my son William purchased for me, from John Henderson of Orange Co., 10 bbls. of corn which was sent to Fredericksburg for salt." Although Thomas Graves died in 1801, his estate was not settled until 1819, and settlement is recorded in Fayette Co. Will Book E, p. 40. A brief abstract of his will, made in Fayette Co., is as follows: I desire my just debts be paid, to my son William Graves 500 acres situate on Licking in the co. of Campbell, the title to me made by Lewis Craig, Sr., also the money he has collected from my father's estate by virtue of a power of attorney from me to him, the said William for that purpose. To my son Bartlett, a negro man named Charles, also the one half of 700 acres on Green River, part of 1000 acres purchased of Hubbard Taylor. To my son John, the tract whereon I live at the death of my wife Isabel Graves, also all my lands on the south side of Ky. river except 300 acres to James Randolph and Rosannah his wife, and the one half of 700 acres to Bartlett Graves. To daughter Rosannah Randolph 300 acres. To daughter Isabel Hall 150-1/2 acres land situate in Campbell Co. and on the Ohio adjacent Wood and Ware. To my daughter Ann Hancock a negro named Rachel. To my daughter Sally Graves a negro named Dinah. To my daughter Mary Beeler a negro named Jane. To my daughter Liddy Graves a negro named Eve. To my loving wife Isabel half of land whereon I live with the mansion house and certain personality. Sons John and Bartlett Graves and friend Bartlett Collins to be executors. Witnesses: James Martin, William Dickey, Jeremiah Buckley. (R-24, R-510, R-515, R-517)

Children - Graves

+750. John Graves, b. 18 Dec. 1757, m. Lydia Graves, 23 Dec. 1784, d. 31 Oct. 1843.

751. Samuel Graves, m. Sarah Graves (#728), 17 Nov. 1783 (Louisa Co., Va.). She was his first cousin. They moved to Fayette Co., Ky. No children.

752. James Graves

753. William Graves, m. Judith Harrison, 29 Dec. 1779 (Louisa Co., Va.). She was a daughter of Joseph Harrison.

 

Susanna (or Susannah) Graves (286) was born by 1740 and died by 1802. She married William Pettus, son of Dabney Pettus and Ann Overton, in 1759. He was born in 1729, and died in 1798 in Spotsylvania Co., Va.

According to The Pettus Family, compiled and edited by A. Buhmer Rudd, 1957, pp. 22ff, it is more reasonable that William Pettus was the father of William Pettus who married Susanna Graves. This is based on the connection with the Hart name and family, and other evidence.

William Pettus (who married Susanna) moved to Louisa Co., Va., where his father's brother John lived. In 1751, William Pettus witnessed a deed (Book A, p. 444) when his uncle bought 214 acres on Elk and Little Rocky creeks. In 1756, John Pettus sold this 214 acres to William Pettus (Book B, p. 96). This was in St. Martin's parish. Valentine calls him "of Trinity" in 1773 (Trinity was made from St. Martin's) and "of Spotsylvania" in 1788 (Valentine, pp. 103, 426). He was known as Col. William Pettus of Louisa, this because he served in the militia of Louisa Co. before the Revolution and was a militia Colonel after the war. He was on the Committee of Safety in 17-- in Louisa Co. He finally settled in Spotsylvania Co., Va., probably because his wife's people were there.

In 1772, Ann Graves, mother of Susanna (Graves) Pettus, gave a negro girl to her granddaughter Barbara Pettus (Crozier, pp. 153, 296). Col. William Pettus's will, dated 18 Sept. 1795 and proved 4 Dec. 1798, listed children: Barbara, Anne, Susan, Louisa, William, Joseph, James, and Hart. The last child was called "Hart" in will and deeds, but Hart always signed as Overton Hart and married as Overton Hart. (R-44, R-109, R-510)

Rice Graves (287) was born about 1729 in St. George Parish, Spotsylvania Co., Va., and died 1814 in Louisa Co., Va. In Spotsylvania Records, O. Book 1738-49, p. 466, June 7, 1748, he is called "Rice Graves, son of Thos. Graves Sr." and would hardly have been so designated had he then been 21 years of age.

He married Jane Young, daughter of John Young and Christian Bruce, about 1751-2. (John Card Graves said this was his second marriage.) Jane died in 1812.

We next find Rice as defendant in a chancery suit brought by Thomas Graves on Feb. 6, 1752 (Spots. Rec., O. Book 1749-55, p. 166). In 1759, he was appointed to serve under John Robinson, surveyor of roads (Spots. Rec., O. Book 1755-65, p. 140). In 1760, as Rice Graves of Spotsylvania Co., he bought from William and Mary Macon of New Kent Co. 190 acres "on North Anna River of Pamunkey" (Louisa Rec., Deed Book D, p. 31), and probably moved at once into Louisa Co. Parenthetically, it might be remarked that all the members of this Graves family had their habitat, so far as can be determined, either on the north side of the Northanna River in Spotsylvania Co., or on the south side in Louisa Co. Not until John ventured into North Carolina did any of them stray far from this river. In 1772, Rice added more land to his holdings (Louisa Records, Deed Book D-1/2, p. 375), and in 1777 we find him listed with five tithables (Harris' History of Louisa Co., p. 169). Rice was a soldier in the Revolutionary War. He was administrator of his mother's estate, 15 Aug. 1782. He was on the first U.S. census in 1783 in Essex Co., Va., and his family then consisted of four whites and three blacks. In 1806 (Louisa Rec., Deed Book K, p. 253), describing himself as old and infirm, he appointed his son John to act as trustee in an equal division of his property among his children. In Deed Book L, p. 225, July 10, 1809, two of his sons, Thomas and Benjamin, release their brother John, who was trustee, from further responsibility. In the settlement of the estate as returned by John Graves (Will Book 5, p. 572, July 10, 1815) occur these entries: "Aug. 1812, to pd. Absalom Waller for preaching Mother's funeral", and "Aug. 1814, to pd. Wm. G. Hiter for preaching Father's funeral." (R-21, R-510, R-515)

Pettus a negro man and some furniture; to her sister Catherine Graves a negro man, all of her household and kitchen furniture, stock of horses, cattle and hogs, and her land; and appointed her nephew James O. Pettus executor. It is likely that her sister Lucy Pettus and family, Thomas Arnett, and her sister Catherine Graves, were then living in Madison Co., Ala., instead of Ky.

772. Catherine ("Kate") Graves, unmarried in 1815.

 

David Graves (288) was born about 1730 in Louisa Co. (or Spotsylvania Co.), Va., and died in Jan. or Feb. 1808 in Shelby Co., Ky. He married Agnes Holloway. She outlived David. By the settlement of his estate, they had two sons and four daughters.

David was in Surry Co., N.C. by 1762, when his son Edmund was born, and moved to Shelby Co., Ky. as one of the early settlers. He is said to have served in the Revolutionary War.

In the Louisa Co., Va. Loose Papers, there is a bond dated Oct. 22, 1766 from John Day to David Graves. On Sept. 20, 1779 in Surry Co., N.C., David witnessed a deed. In Fayette Co., Ky., a David Graves is listed with 2 tithables, and in the first tax list of Shelby Co., Ky., David is listed with 220 acres on Buck Creek.

The Shelby Co., Ky. Grantor Deeds, 1789-1838, records that David gave a "deed of Gift" to Thomas Martin, his son-in-law, on May 25, 1807, 196 acres on Guist. Then on Feb. 8, 1808 there is an agreement from Thomas Martin marked "division."

David's will, on record in Shelby Co., was written 9 Jan. 1808, and was produced in court on 8 Feb. 1808. His children are not listed in the will by name, but his granddaughter, Agnes Conely, is given a "two-year old mare and saddle and a bed and furniture such as his wife Agnes shall give her."

David also states that his wife, Agnes, shall have the possession of his estate during her natural lifetime. He wills that his daughter, Elizabeth Leatherman, shall receive an equal portion but it is to be lodged in the hands of Richard Graves for her use and under his direction. His son Richard is to be the executor.

On June 18, 1819 the heirs of David are mentioned in a court order about a certain tract of land in Shelby Co. on Beech Creek containing 248 acres.

There may also have been a daughter who married William Burgin. (R-70, R-510)

Nancy Graves (289) was born about 1735, and died by 1809 in Wilkes Co., Ga. (Mrs. Hiden had suggested the possibility that this was Catherine or Katherine Graves.) She married William Lea, brother of Isabella Lea. They moved to and lived in Caswell Co., N.C. William died testate May-July 1794 in Wilkes Co., Ga.

Nancy is not documented as a daughter of Thomas and Ann, but there is circumstantial evidence. A daughter did marry a William Lea, and this William was a brother of Isabella Lea who married John Graves. The names used in this family are names used by this Graves line. (R-14)

Eleanor Graves (291) was born in VA. She married Thomas Kimbrough, son of John Kimbrough and Elizabeth Bradley, about 1747. He was born in 1690 (is this date correct? -- seems rather old to have married in 1747 and had many children), and died in 1777 in Caswell Co., NC. The probate of his will in 1777 is recorded in Book A, p. 25. They moved from Spotsylvania Co., VA in 1764 to Orange Co., NC. When Caswell Co., NC was formed from Orange Co. in 1777, the family was living in the new county. (R-127, R-195, R-510, R-511)

Robert Graves (293) was born before 1755, based on the 1800 census for Chesterfield Co., S.C., showing him in the 45 and over age category. Based on the birth dates of his children, his birth date may have been 1735-1740. His wife may have been Jean ------, since she was cosigner with him on one deed. Most of the following evidence is from Mrs. Sue Davis (R-14).

Although most of the evidence is circumstantial, it appears that Robert is the father of at least the following three children. He is the only Graves in S.C. land records to be in the right place at the right time. The probability that he is a son of Thomas and Ann (Davenport) Graves also explains the Davenport name for many of his descendants.

Robert Graves was the only Graves in Chesterfield Co. records during at least 1770-80, as evidenced by the deeds listed below. Chesterfield Co. was created from Craven District. Both Lewis and Richard Graves owned land on Thompson Creek in Anson Co., N.C., just across the state line.

S.C. Memorials (land grants): A memorial exhibited by Robert Graves for a tract of land containing 250 acres in Craven Co. on the north side of Great PeeDee adjoining Lipham, Husband, Wise and Claudius Pegues, certified 7 Nov. 1770, granted 15 March 1771.

Family papers or oral tradition in the Sholars family say Lewis Graves had brothers Richard and John. Records seem to bear this out. Richard Graves gave testimony to Lewis' service in pension application. He witnessed an Anson Co., N.C. deed of Lewis Graves. He signed a receipt for Lewis on S.C. Stub Indent. John Graves also witnessed an Anson Co. deed. John lived in the same district in Hancock Co., Ga. and in Jasper Co., Ga. as Lewis. He was also a codefendant in a law suit with Lewis in Hancock Co. (R-14)

CHILDREN OF JOSEPH GRAVES (123) AND SARAH ------

Mary Graves (296) was born about 1738, and died in 1800 at Fort Madison, Pickens Co., SC. She married Benjamin Cleveland about 1758-60. He was born 26 May 1738 in Blue Run, Orange Co., VA, and died 15 Oct. 1806 in Fort Madison, Pickens Co., SC. They were both buried on the Cleveland Plantation, Fort Madison.

Col. Benjamin Cleveland moved from VA to Yadkin, Rowan Co., NC about 1763 (Rowan became Surry Co. in 1770 and Wilkes Co. in 1777), and lived there until after the Revolution. Benjamin lost his home in Wilkes Co., NC through a faulty title, and then moved to Pendleton District, SC, on the Tugaloo River, where he was a judge, as he had been in NC.

Col. Benjamin Cleveland was "the famous Colonel of Indian Wars in NC and of the Revolution at the Battle of King's Mountain, and the terror of Tories whom he hanged without ceremony." Cleveland Co., NC and the town of Cleveland, TN are named for him.

It has been incorrectly believed by some that Benjamin Cleveland had Graves ancestry, descended from Jane Graves, a great-granddaughter of Capt. Thomas Graves of VA through Thomas's son Francis. It was believed that Jane Graves and John Coffey had a daughter, Martha Elizabeth Coffey, who married John Cleveland. However, that is not correct. Elizabeth Coffey, daughter of Edward Coffey and sister of John Coffey, is the one who married John Cleveland. This couple lived most of their lives at Blue Run, Orange Co., VA, and had several famous sons, most notably Col. Benjamin Cleveland of Revolutionary War fame. This ancestry is discussed by George A. Martin in "Virginia Cleveland Ancestor Discovered", Nat. Gen. Soc. Quarterly, vol. 46, no. 3, Sept. 1958, p. 152.

One account says: Col. Ben's only daughter married General Wyly of Iredell Co., NC, and their son, General James Rutherford Wyly, was a distinguished officer of the War of 1812. He married Sarah Hawkins Clark, granddaughter of Gov. John Sevier of TN, who was a General at King's Mountain. It is possible that Col. Ben's daughter, Jemima, was adopted; that would explain why she was left out of his will.

At least the two sons were born in Albemarle Co., VA. (R-20, R-204, R-205, R-208, R-209)

Arthur Graves (306) was born 19 Nov. 1752 (or 23 Nov. 1750) in Chesterfield Co., VA, and died 28 April 1831. He may have married Frances ("Fannie") Eanes on 22 Dec. 1803 in Amelia Co., VA (according to the IGI). They lived in Chesterfield Co., VA.

However, the marriage date of 1803 is very late for a first marriage. Arthur would have been over 50 at that date. The children of Arthur listed below were getting married themselves by 1800 or soon after. It seems much more likely that if Arthur Graves married Frances Eanes in 1803, he was either a son of this Arthur or of one of the brothers. Until more evidence is provided, he will be shown as a son of this Arthur Graves, even though this compiler believes he is more apt to be a son of one of Arthur's brothers, since a fairly long list of the children of this Arthur is shown below.

Esom (or Easom) Graves (317) was born about 1764, probably in Halifax Co., Va., and died in 1843 in Tenn. He married Judith Parrott, daughter of John Parrott and Ruth ------, on 11 Jan. 1787 in Halifax Co., Va. She was born about 1776.

Their marriage was recorded in the Daily Marriage Book of Halifax Co., Va. The will of John Parrott, father of Judith, dated Feb. 18, 1777, Book 1, page 181, lists children of John and Ruth Parrott. A deed in Halifax Co., Va. shows that John Parrott owned 240 acres on Lawson Creek in that county. Records of Oct. Court, 1795, show John Graves sold 47-3/4 acres to Reaves adjoining land of "Esham" Graves. The clerk misspelled many other words in the deed, in addition to Esom's name.

Esom and Judith moved to Tenn. about 1800. Court records of Dec. 15, 1800 for Smith Co., Tenn. show his election as grand juror. Deeds of 1800 and 1808, Smith Co., Tenn., show him owning land on the north side of Cumberland on the water of Wartrace Creek.

A Smith Co., Tenn. deed shows Reuben Graves owning land adjoining that of Esom Graves. A petition for Overton Co., Tenn., established 1806, lists Esom Graves, Beman Graves, Reuben Graves, Charles Graves, and John Graves. Esom Graves was listed in the 1820 and 1830 censuses for Smith Co., Tenn. (R-41, R-43)

Mary ("Polly") Graves (503) was born 3 Oct. 1783 in Washington Co., GA, and died 21 June 1835 in AL. She married William Edmond (or Edmund) Alexander, called Edmond, in 1801 in GA. He was born in 1768 in VA, and died 27 Dec. 1840 in Manack Station, Lowndes Co., AL.

According to R-270, Edmund Alexander was descended from Lord Stirling, William Edmund Alexander, who was born in 1726 in New York City, died in 1783, and was a Brigadier General in the Continental Army. He was descended from Sir William Edmund Alexander, the Earl of Stirling, who was born in 1567 and died in 1640. He was a Scottish poet, and was tutor to the Earl of Argyle, Prince Henry Frederick, and Prince Charles who later became King Charles I of England. He received a grant of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in 1621. He was Secretary of State for Scotland from 1626 until his death in 1640. He is the author of "Monarchicke Tradgedies," "Paracnesis to the Prince" (a poem written in 1604), and "Doomesday," a sacred epic. (R-244, R-268, R-270)

Peyton Smith Graves (511) was born 3 March 1799 in Lexington, Oglethorpe Co., GA, probably died in Texas, and was buried in Texas (or AL or LA). He first married Aurelia or Aurelay G. Bruce in 1827 in Wilkinson Co., MS. She died in 1829. He may have married second ------ Patterson in Baltimore, MD, but no record of this has been found. He married third (or second) ------ Brantley, daughter of Harris Brantley. He has not been found in the 1850 census for AL, LA, MS or TX, but he is in the 1860 census for Palestine, Anderson Co., TX. In this census, his initials are reversed as S. P., but it is definitely him, and his wife was born in MD. Perhaps she had first married a Patterson and was a widow when she married Peyton.

Peyton was one of the first Methodist Protestant ministers in the state of Alabama. (R-265)

Since their son, John, is identified with his wife's family's long attachment to and residence in Campbell Co. (VA? or TN?), they probably lived around there. They seem to have been in Patrick Co., VA in 1830, and in Trigg Co., KY in 1850. They settled in MO, probably Montgomery Co. (R-186, R-188)

He married Denny (or Dinny) Witcher, daughter of John Witcher and Susan ------, on 16 (or 21) May 1818 in Pittsylvania Co., Va. She was born about 1801. The wills of James Graves, dated 11 Sept. 1839, proved 17 Oct. 1859 (Pittsylvania Co., Va., W.B. 2, p. 313), and of his wife Denny, dated 7 Aug. 1867, proved 9 Oct. 1874 (W.B. 3, p. 121), mention children Susan, Francis, and James. John Card Graves also mentions James, and also Lafayette (same as Francis), Thomas (could have been James T. A.), and America. The Bible of James and Denny only mentions the two sons listed below.

The names given by John Card Graves are probably from family records, and thus perhaps the ones that were used by the family, whereas the ones appearing in legal documents would tend to be more formal names. Therefore, there may not really be any disagreement between the two sets of names. (R-186, R-513, R-515)

Absalom (or Absolom) Graves (545) was born 28 Nov. 1768 in Culpeper Co. (now Madison Co.), Va., and died 17 Aug. 1826. He married Felicia White, daughter of John White and Polly ------, on 18 Dec. 1789 in Orange Co., Va. She was born 20 Nov. 1771, and died 19 Feb. 1851 at their home in Boone Co., Ky. She is said to have led a very devout and charitable life. They moved from Virginia to Kentucky with the rest of his parents' family. He was prominent in civil life before 1810, when he was ordained a minister in the Baptist Church. He became distinguished throughout Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana.

The following is extracted from a sketch of this remarkable man (as quoted by John Card Graves), "written by Rev. A. C. Graves of Lebanon, Ky., who had studied and become perfectly familiar with his character." "In early life, there was about Absolom Graves a manliness and fascination which won the respect of all classes and foreshadowed the patriarchal position he was to occupy in the world. He was studious, devoting his leisure hours to self-improvement, and became the best educated young man in his community. His fitness for civil responsibilities was soon recognized and he was made Clerk of the Quarter Sessions in 1779, the year after Boone Co., Ky. was formed. He held that position until 1805, when the Circuit Court was formed and he was made clerk, which office he held until just before his death in 1826. He was ordained to the Christian ministry in 1812, and was Pastor of the Bullittsburg Baptist Church for many years, and the author of the hymn book entitled "Graves Hymns". He was known as an exemplary man and his life was a blessing to the world."

Speaking of him, Rev. John Taylor says, "Perhaps the Gospel of the Saviour never came better recommended by human character." It was said of him by one who knew him well, "He was a model for any man. He was the most upright, perfect man I have ever known in my life." He was a prosperous man and accumulated a comfortable property. He erected the first two-story brick house built in Boone Co., Ky., which, somewhat remodeled, was still standing back from the bluffs which overlook the Ohio River opposite the mouth of the Miami River which divides Ohio and Indiana around 1900.

Joanna (or Joannah) Graves (577) was born 11 March 1783. She married John Oakes on 14 April 1807 in Orange Co., Va. He was born 22 Dec. 1781.

In a mimeographed book of Early Virginia Marriages is the following entry. "7 April 1807. John Oakes and Joanna Graves, daughter of Thomas Graves who is surety and makes oath Joanna is over 21. Married 14 April by Rev. Nathaniel Sanders, Baptist."

In an article by Mrs. P. W. Hiden (R-507, p. 668), it is stated that Joanna was one of the children of Richard and Susannah Graves. Considering that Richard Graves died in 1797 when Joanna was only about 14 years old, it is reasonable to assume that the Thomas in the marriage record was her older brother rather than her father.

All the children of Joanna and John were born in Va., probably Orange Co. The Oakes family sold their plantation in Orange Co., Va., and moved to Mansfield, Ohio in 1831. (R-156)

Thomas served in the War of 1812 as a private in Capt. William M. Holman's Co., 7th Regt. (Gray's), Va. Militia. He served from 28 Aug. 1814 to 19 Feb. 1815 (Adjutant General's Office, War Dept., Washington, D.C.). (R-507)

They moved from Virginia about 1790, and settled in Rutherford Co., NC, near Green River.

The following tribute to the memory of Henry Montague is from the pen of his grandson, Major Henry M. Earle. It was written to the compiler in 1890. (This is taken from History and Genealogy of Peter Montague of Nansemond and Lancaster Counties, Virginia, and His Descendants, 1621-1894, compiled and published by George William Montague.) Major Earle said, "I remember my grandfather, Henry Montague, well. He was an earnest and interesting man and prided himself upon his independence; he was just in his dealings, saved his money, and never went into debt. He always paid cash for what he bought and gave his offspring lessons in economy and industry. He was a regular communicant of the Baptist Church; was never known to use profane language and lived a well governed life. He attained his majority during the Revolutionary War and served in a cavalry company." (R-99)

William Graves (631) was born 10 Oct. 1762 in Granville Co., N.C., and died 15 Jan. 1847 in Tennessee, according to Barbara Billings. (However, John Card Graves says he died in DeSoto Co., Miss.) He married Anne ("Nancy") Neal, daughter of William Neal and Susanna (or Susan) ------, on 23 (or 28) Dec. 1790 in Mecklenburg Co., Va. Her name has been given as Nancy Anne Neal, but Nancy is usually just a nickname for Ann or Anne. She was born 16 March 1771, and died 13 July 1833 in Pulaski, Tenn. They moved from North Carolina to Pulaski, Giles Co., Tenn. about 1812. It appears that all their children were born in Granville Co., N.C.

Nathaniel Graves (636), referred to as Nathan by John Card Graves, was born 11 Nov. 1767 in Granville Co., N.C., and died after 1850 in Arkansas. He married Frances Montague, daughter of Latane (or Lattany) Montague and Catherine Young, in 1798 in Granville Co., N.C. She was born 4 Oct. 1779, and died 21 Sept. 1838 in Fayette Co., Tenn. She was a sister of Henry Montague who married Nathaniel's sister Elizabeth.

The family moved to Giles Co., Tenn. about 1814, and later lived in Fayette Co., Tenn. After his wife's death, Nathaniel lived with his son, Addison and family, and moved with them to Sevier Co., Ark. in 1852. Nathaniel died sometime after 1850 and is believed to be buried in an unmarked grave in the old Graves Cem. in Howard Co., Ark. All the children of Nathaniel and Frances were born in Granville Co., N.C.

In researching this part of the Graves family, it was noted that several members of the family either married cousins or did not marry at all. According to tradition, one reason for this was that because of the large number of Graves families, they actually made up all or most of the community. As a result, no one except relatives lived in the area. Another reason was that the family was quite "well-to-do", owned large plantations and many slaves, and desired to keep the wealth in the family.

CHILDREN OF HENRY GRAVES (266) AND RACHEL LEWIS

David Graves (648) was born about 1772 (or 1776) in Hanover Co., VA, and died in Giles Co., TN.. He married Nancy Hunt in 1796 in Granville Co., NC. Their marriage bond was 19 Dec. 1796 in Granville Co., NC. Nancy was born 10 April 1776 near Oxford, Granville Co., NC, daughter of Memucan ("Muke") Hunt and Mary ("Polly") Wade. All their children were born in Granville Co., NC. (R-251, R-253, R-515)

+1678. Ralph Wade Graves, b.c. 1812 (or 1799), m(1) Sarah Dorsey Larsh, 1832, m(2) Clara Barnett, 1842, d. 1847.

 

Mary Graves (649) was probably born about 1760, and died about 1820 in NC. She married Lewis Yancey about 1775 (or in 1786). He was probably born about 1750 in VA, and died about 1819 in Granville Co., NC.

One source said he was son of Richard Yancey of Mecklenburg Co., VA. However Dennis J. Yancey (R-228) gave his ancestry as: (1) Mr. Yancey of Wales, (2) Charles Yancey of Hanover Co., VA, d. VA, m. Mary Leighton, (3) Charles Yancey, b. before 1684 (?), VA, d. after 1745, VA (?), m. Mary Bartlett, (4) James Yancey, b. early 1700's, VA, d. 1779, Granville Co., NC, m. Ann or Elizabeth Thornton (?), (5) Lewis Yancey.

In April 1996, Dennis Yancey wrote: Out of various sources which make reference to Lewis Yancey and Mary Graves, only one gave birth and marriage dates for Lewis, and that was a 1927 DAR submission paper of a descendant of Lewis Yancey (gave birth as 1736 and marriage date as 1758, and 1739 for wife Mary). But it seems evident that the dates were estimates and broad ones at that, apparently almost 20 years too early. I have very little information which would allow me to nail down a specific birth and marriage date. The only things I can go by are the following:

(1) Jane Yancey, Lewis's daughter, was married 28 July 1790. She had various children and in all probability she was married very young (about age 15?), putting her birth date at about 1775.

(2) The son, Henry Graves Yancey, whose birth date (on DAR records, of 1758) is also an estimate from the DAR form. Since Lewis and Mary only seem to have had two children, one would assume that Lewis and Mary are very close in age. Henry was first married in 1805. According to the 1810 census, he would have been born after 1765; the 1820 census shows him to be born after 1775. But it couldn't have been very much after 1775.

(3) The 1800 census of Granville Co., NC, shows that the oldest male in Lewis Yancey's household (assumed to be Lewis himself) was born before 1755; the female in the family (Mary) was born after 1755.

From the above information, my guess is that Jane Yancey was born about 1775 and her brother Henry Graves Yancey was born a few years later, and that Lewis and Mary were married about 1775. This could have put Mary's birth date about 1760. From the wills of Henry and Rachel Graves it would seem that Mary was the oldest child of Henry Graves, then Ralph, David, and Betsy, in that order. Her next brother Ralph Graves was born 26 Oct. 1764, according to Ken Graves.

My current guess is that Rachel (Lewis) Graves and daughter Mary (Graves) Yancey and daughter Jane (Yancey) Christmas were all married very young, but that all of them were the mothers of all the children of their husbands. (R-228)

Ralph Graves (650) was born 26 Oct. 1764, died about 1825, and left a will in Granville Co., N.C. He married Elizabeth ("Betsey") Briggs Graves (#656), daughter of Elijah Graves, on 26 Feb. 1789 in Granville Co. She was born 10 Oct. 1773 (according to John Card Graves) and died 1822-3. Ralph served a short time in the Revolutionary War at age 16, and was later a Captain in the Militia.

CHILDREN OF ------ GRAVES (269) AND ELIZABETH ------

Thomas Graves (657) was born between 1746-66, probably about 1760, since his mother made a bond on 10 May 1767 to give him 30 pounds current Va. money when he reached 21 years of age. We do not know the date of Thomas's removal to Mecklenburg Co., Va., but it must have been after 1790, at which time he was residing in Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg Co., Va., with 3 tithables.

Thomas's children were by his first wife, Sarah, as it was not until March 6, 1828, as Thomas Graves, Sr., that he married Henrietta Greenwood in Mecklenburg Co. His will (Mecklenburg W.B. 14, p. 422), dated June 4, 1836, proved Jan. 21, 1839, describes him as "afflicted in body" and makes the following bequests: to wife Henrietta the tract whereon I reside, being the mansion house, to son Nathan my tract of land bought of Crowder, to daughter Mary Graves bed and furniture. The balance of my estate to be sold and out of the proceeds an annuity is to go to wife Henrietta, and the balance is to be divided between the following children: Betsy, Fanny, Patsy, Nancy, Jane and Thomas; to the heirs of my deceased son William, one shilling. At my wife's death her annuity to be divided between my children, Betsy, Fanny, Patsy, Nancy, Jane, Thomas, James and Nathan. Friend John P. Finch exor. Wit. Thomas B. Puryear, Reuben Harris.

Relative to this family are the following Mecklenburg marriages: Thomas Harris and Elizabeth Graves, 28 Dec. 1795; Henry Hastin and Fanny W. Graves, 19 June 1799; William Graves and Frances Elam, 14 Oct. 1795; Thomas Graves and Mary Harris, 26 Dec. 1808; James Graves and Phoebe Elam, 29 Dec. 1818. We have no marriage bond for Nathan, but the will of Samuel Hudson, dated June 22, 1828 (Mecklenburg W.B. 11, p. 400), mentions daughter Sally Graves, wife of Nathan Graves.

There is in Mecklenburg the marriage of Frederick Graves and Nancy Brandon on Dec. 20, 1800. Whether he was a son of Thomas, Sr., and predeceased his father is not known. Nor is it presently possible to positively identify Thomas Graves, Sr. However, the presumption that he was a grandson of Henry5 Graves of Hanover Co., Va., seems reasonable. (R-82, R-524)

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (275) AND ELIZABETH ------

He married Martha Ryan, and possibly Mary Mason (?) as a second wife in 1795 in Culpeper Co., Va. He moved to Bourbon Co., Ky., and was in Warren Co., Mo. in 1820. He was judge of the county court for Warren and Montgomery Cos., Mo. According to Mrs. P. W. Hiden, Martha Ryan may have been Thomas' second wife. She was first married to William Sims, who died in 1769. (R-12, R-511)

Lewis Graves (670) was born about 1748 or 1750 in Culpeper Co., VA, and died in June 1810 in Laurens, Laurens Co., SC. Various deeds place his parents in Culpeper from the 1740's on. He probably lived in NC and/or SC. He married Rebecca ------.

Lewis is listed in the 1790 U.S. census of Laurens Co., SC as Lewis Greaves. He is found with this spelling elsewhere as well. In reading the will of his father, Thomas Graves of Culpeper Co., VA, one might interpret some of the wording in the codicil to mean a family tift had developed between father and son. Perhaps this was the reason for his adoption of an alternative spelling. Lewis is listed in this census as having one free white male over 16 (himself), 3 free white males under 16, 5 free white females, and 3 slaves. Based on this data, we can conclude he probably had 3 young sons, a wife, and 4 daughters.

On the same page of the census are found Elizabeth Simms, probably his sister who was widowed in 1789 and yet to marry Dr. John Creecy. She is listed with 1 male over 16, 4 males 16 and under, 5 females (including herself), and 4 slaves. Also on the same page is Aaron Stern (Starnes), the father of Rebecca Starnes, wife of his son Lewis.

The 1800 census for Laurens Co., SC listed Lewis Graves with 1 male 0-10, 2 males 10-16, 1 male 26-45, 1 male over 45 (Lewis), 1 female 0-10, 2 females 16-26, 1 female 26-45, 6 slaves.

Even though Lewis Graves was a justice of the peace and probated many wills, he apparently died intestate. There is an estate sale in the records of Laurens Co., SC. His heirs are listed as George C. Madden, Fanny Graves, John Addams, and Lewis Graves. Administrators are William and Martin Graves. Purchasers were Rebecca and Fanny Graves. This estate sale occurred on 31 May 1810 (bundle 29, package 7, Laurens Co., SC). The doctor bill was paid to Dr. John Creecy. John Wait was appointed to appraise the estate. Another source has slightly different data. No date is given, but the administrators are the same William and Martin Graves. Heirs are not listed as such, but the following purchasers are named: Rebecah Graves, Wm. Graves, Lewis Graves, Fanney Graves, Martin Graves, Moses Madden, George Madden, Jacob Niswanger, John Adams, John Williard (?), Richard Golden, John Newman, William Crocker, John Creecy, John Boyce, Martin Shaw, James Sims, Martin Sims, George Morgan, John Wait, Joseph Bolton, William McFerson, Isaac Mosely, Larkin Gaines, Samuel Anderson, Thomas Brock, and Ebeneezer Harris. (Notice some of the spellings differ, but they were copied exactly as written.)

From another source, purchasers at the estate sale were: James Sims, John Sims, Joel Sims, John Wait, Phillip Wait,Dr. John Creecy.

Lewis had a sister Elizabeth (will of Thomas Graves, 1792; will of Dr. John Creecy; 1790 Laurens Co., SC census). Lewis also had a sister Frances Wait (will of Thomas Graves, 1792; will of Dr. John Creecy). Lewis was listed in the Culpeper Co. personal property tax roll for 1782 and 1783; 1 slave, Winnie. He was in SC in 1792, according to the will of Thomas Graves.

Pension application of John Wait, no. 7812, filed 1834, from Laurens Co., S.C., states he served from Culpeper Co., Va. Elizabeth Creecy gave testimony that she had known Wait for 62 years. (Elizabeth was widow of Dr. Creecy and widow of Zachariah Sims; see will of Creecy.) Witnessed by William Graves (son of Lewis Graves who died 1810). (R-196, R-202, R-520)

Elizabeth Graves (671) was born in 1752 in Culpeper Co., VA, and died in 1839 in Laurens Co., SC. She first married Zachariah Simms (or Sims), son of Thomas Simms and Rebecca Petty, in Culpeper Co., VA. He was born about 1748 in Culpeper Co., and died about 24 Aug. 1790 or before in Laurens Co., SC. After the death of Zachariah, Elizabeth secondly married Dr. John Creecy in Laurens Co., SC. He died about 15 Jan. 1812 in Laurens Co.

Zachariah Sims, husband of Elizabeth Graves, appears in Culpeper Co., Va. records.

In Deed Book J: 6/9/1810-2/5/1812, John Creecy and wife Elizabeth (former widow of Zachariah Sims) marriage settlement to equalize division of slaves among legatees: John Sims, Thomas Sims, Jesse Pugh and wife Lyda, James Wait and Sarah, James Sims. Wit.: D. Anderson, John Wait, William Fulton, J.P.

There is a question as to who the children of Elizabeth Graves were. The will of John Creecy lists as children of Elizabeth's first marriage James, Joel, Zachariah S., and Fanny. The marriage settlement of John Creecy and Elizabeth lists as legatees John Sims, Thomas Sims, James Sims, Lydia (Pugh), and James Wait. Since James Wait was probably a nephew (son of Elizabeth's sister Anne/Frances), how can we be sure that John, Thomas and Lydia were also children? Perhaps John and Thomas were children of Joel or Zachariah, since neither of them were listed in the settlement, or perhaps the people not mentioned in the settlement had already been provided for separately. (R-140, R-247)

He left Culpeper Co. in 1804 and appeared in Madison Co., Va. in 1810. After 1820 he left Madison Co. They supposedly had at least 10 children. The following children were all born in Madison Co., Va. (R-511)

James F. Graves (673) was born about 1765. He was described as being 16-21 in 1783 in Culpeper Co., Va. He was out of the county in 1784-85 and there in 1786. He first married Elizabeth Pratt of Culpeper Co. about 1782. He secondly married Elizabeth Parnell on 8 Sept. 1809. In 1810 he moved to New Madrid, Mo., where he died in Dec. 1811.

There is some question regarding the following children, since one source lists the first three, then lists Mary E. Graves who married her first cousin Thomas S. Graves, and then does not show any of the other children. (R-179, R-511, R-512)

William Thomas Graves (678) was born in 1755 in Culpeper Co., VA, and died in 1833 at the old home place in Mackville, Washington Co., KY. He married Sarah Fisher of Culpeper Co., VA, possibly on 22 Dec. 1790 (although there is some belief that that is the marriage date to a second wife).

There is some belief that the son Thomas Graves was born 15 Jan. 1790 at a fort at the forks of the Kentucky River in KY, died in 1855, and married Sally Lawson on 22 Feb. 1811 or 1812. If so, Thomas Sims Graves is the son of someone else. (R-190, R-511, R-512)

Colonel John Graves (684) was born 4 Sept. 1745 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va., and died 24 June 1824. He served as Ensign and Lieutenant in the company commanded by Maj. George Slaughter in the 8th Va. Regt. commanded by Col. Abraham Bowman in the Revolutionary War. The company was designated at various times as "Capt. George Slaughter's Co." and as "Lieut. John Graves' Co." He was commissioned 26 Jan. 1776 and resigned 22 April 1778 (Record and Pension Office, War Dept.). He was in the battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Yorktown. He was a trusted officer of Gen. Nathaniel Greene in N.C. and was detailed by him to oppose the passage of part of Cornwallis' force across the Yadkin, which he did with conspicuous and distinguished gallantry.

After the war, probably in 1781, he moved to Wilkes Co., Ga., and in 1786 was Colonel commanding a Georgia regiment against the Creek Indians. Another source stated that he moved to Ga. in 1823, and that his nephew, William Francis Strother, went with him. William was a son of Anne Fargeson, sister of John Graves' first wife.

John Graves first married Lucy Farquson (or Fargeson), daughter of Samuel Fargeson of Culpeper Co., Va., on 10 May 1772. He secondly married Catherine West in 1795. She was born 1763 in Holland, and died in 1841. (R-160, R-515)

Maj. Benjamin Franklin Graves (688) was born 9 April 1773 (or in 1771) in Spotsylvania Co., Va., and died before 1843, probably 22 (or 23) Jan. 1813. He was killed at the battle of River Raisin in Michigan when Gen. Winchester was defeated Jan. 22, 1813, and when his brother, Col. Thomas Coleman Graves was also killed.

They had no children.

He secondly married Polly Dudley, daughter of Rev. and Capt. Ambrose Dudley and Ann Parker. Polly was born 6 Sept. 1783 in Fayette Co., Ky. Ann Parker was a daughter of William Parker and Susanna Winslow of Spotsylvania Co., Va., where the Dudleys were also seated. Ambrose Dudley was a son of Robert Dudley and Joyce Gale/Gayle, and was an officer in the Revolution.

In 1805 Benjamin and Polly Graves sold to his brother Joseph Graves 80 acres in Spotsylvania Co. bequeathed to Coleman Graves by their father. The will of Benjamin Graves mentions his wife Polly Graves, his mother, and brother Thomas C. Graves. His mother and brothers John C. Graves and George Graves were executors of his will.

Benjamin was a member of the Kentucky Legislature from Fayette Co. from 1801 to 1806. He engaged in agricultural pursuits and was an amiable, shrewd, and vigorous man. He was among the first to volunteer after war was declared against the British in 1812. He was made Major of the 5th Ky. Regt. commanded by Col. Lewis, and proved to be a vigilant and gallant officer. He and his brother Coleman Graves were killed in Jan. 1813 at the Battle of River Raisin. Graves Co., Ky. was named for him in 1823. According to the family Bible, six children were born to Benjamin and Polly, all in Fayette Co., Ky. (R-115, R-511, R-515)

Ann ("Nancy") Graves (723) was born 22 July 1756 in Spotsylvania Co., Va., and died 6 March 1846 in Butler Co., Ohio. She married John Hancock on 7 May 1774 in Louisa Co., Va. He was born 4 March 1753 in Henrico Co., Va., and died before 27 Oct. 1827 in Butler Co., Ohio.

The family lived in Louisa Co., Va., during the Revolutionary War, where John served and was appointed Captain in the Militia on April 13, 1779. For this service, he received a land warrant for bounty land. The family moved to Kentucky about 1788, where they settled in Woodford Co. for a short time, then moved to Franklin Co. Sometime between 1805 and 1812, they moved to Butler Co., Ohio, where it is said John Hancock built the first cabin on what is now the town square of Oxford. This location was at the crossing of two Indian trails and because of the scarcity of water, he abandoned it and moved closer to what is now Hamilton, Ohio. He died there in Hanover Township before Oct. 27, 1827, when an appraisal of his estate was recorded.

Nancy died in Reily Township, Butler Co., Ohio, and both were buried on a part of their property which they set aside as a burial ground. A few years ago, a committee was appointed in Butler Co. to locate the graves of the early pioneers who died there before 1860. The graves of John and Nancy Hancock were located and their remains were moved to Oxford Cem. at Oxford, Ohio (Butler Co. Graveyard Records by Jane Knox Skinner). (R-122)

They were both buried in Fayette Co. John served in the War of 1812 as a Col. in the 10th Ky. Regt., State Militia. At least their first four children were born in Fayette Co. (R-53, R-510, R-515)

The original consent filed among the loose papers of the Circuit Court for the County of Sussex, Va., and recorded in Marriage Register 1754-1850, page 30, states: "This is to certify that I have given my consent for my daughter Rebeccah Graves of Sussex County to marry to William Chambliss of the said County.

She married General Joseph Martin, Jr., son of Joseph Martin, Sr. and Susannah Chiles, on 24 Feb. 1784 in Henry Co., Va. He was born 18 Sept. 1740 in Albemarle Co., Va., died 18 Dec. 1808 in Henry Co., Va., and was buried at "Bell Monte" on Leatherwood Creek, Henry Co. Susannah was Joseph's third wife. He first married Sarah Lucas in 1762. Sarah died 17 March 1782 in Henry Co., Va. Children by this marriage were Susannah, b. 1763, m. Jacob Burns, d. 1844; Col.

He was still her husband in 1800. Both of his white wives knew of the Indian one. The first five children listed below were born in Henry Co., Va., and it is assumed that the others were probably born there also. (R-8)

Sarah ("Sally") Graves (749) was born sometime after May in 1775 in Pittsylvania Co., Va. (in what later became Henry Co.), died 4 Jan. 1866, most likely at her son Joseph's home in Savannah, Hardin Co., Tenn., and was buried in Savannah Cem. She married Thomas East on 12 Aug. 1790. He was born in 1765 in Va., probably Halifax Co., since his father owned land there from 1764 to 1777 (in what later became Henry Co.), and died 4 Oct. 1844 in Waynesboro, Tenn., probably at the home of his son Joseph, who had moved there soon before 1840 from the Lynnville area.

Thomas and Sarah moved to Giles Co., Tenn. in 1823 or 1824, and settled at old Lynnville (the present site of Lynnville is about five miles from the site of the 1830's), along with many of their children. Thomas bought 80 acres in Giles Co. in 1826, and he and Sarah lived there in the 1830's near their son Barzley. Many of their children were members of the Roberson Fork Church of Christ at Linnville, so there is good reason to assume that Thomas and Sarah were members also.

By May of 1849 (after Thomas had died) Sarah was living in McNairy Co. with or near her son Barzley. On that date she gave him power of attorney to collect a debt owed her from someone in Hardin Co., and gave her place of residence as McNairy Co. She could not write. In the early 1800's it was not uncommon for the women to be illiterate, since there were few public schools and there was little need for the women to work outside the home.

In the early 1850's Sarah moved to Savannah, Tenn., in nearby Hardin Co., where she died. All their children were born in Henry Co., Va. (R-85)

CHILDREN OF RICHARD GRAVES (285) AND LUCY DAVENPORT

Col. John Graves (750) was born 18 Dec. 1757 in Louisa Co., Va., and died 31 (or 10) Oct. 1843 in Fayette Co., Ky. He married Lydia Graves (#729), daughter of Thomas Graves and Isabella Bartlett (his uncle and aunt), on 23 Dec. 1784 in Louisa Co., Va. She was born 2 Oct. 1769 and died 7 Sept. 1856.

The consent of her father to the marriage is filed with the marriage bonds of the county. The pension record of John Graves shows that he was born in Louisa Co. Dec. 18, 1757, that he resided for a while in Spotsylvania Co. and later in Orange Co., VA, enlisting in Spotsylvania Co. in 1776. After his death, on April 8, 1844, his son John applied for his pension to be continued to Lydia, the widow. Lydia made oath that she was 74 years old on Oct. 2, 1843, and had married John Graves on Dec. 23, 1784, thus proving that she was the daughter of Thomas Graves and Isabella Bartlett.

John stated that he went to KY Dec. 5 or 6, 1786, that his brother, now living 8 miles this side of Cincinnati on the turnpike road, went out the year before and "purchased the place of John and Elijah Craig for my Father; Father, Mother and myself came out with 30 blacks. My brother who had remained came by water."

The Bible record of John and Lydia's children was included in the pension papers, and provided the data for all of the children listed below. (R-510)

CHILDREN OF SUSANNAH GRAVES (286) AND WILLIAM PETTUS

William Pettus (756) was born in 1764 and died in 1813. He married Lucy Waters Pettus on 9 Feb. (or 10 April) 1784 in Louisa Co., Va. She was his first cousin once removed.

His father gave him land in Spotsylvania Co., Va. in 1788 (Crozier 1, p. 451) and calls him "of Spotsylvania" in 1792, but he seems to have owned land in Louisa Co., Va. in 1811 (Valentine, p. 1143). As executor of his father's will, he sold 376 acres in Spotsylvania Co. in 1799 (Crozier 1, p. 509). In 1808, he followed the Arnolds to Ky. The names of the following children and their dates are from a Bible record. (R-109)

(These dates don't look correct. The Pettus Family says Lucy was a daughter of Richard Graves, #285, and married in 1796, so either the marriage date is wrong or the parentage is wrong.) They moved to Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co., Ky. in 1804. (R-109)

CHILDREN OF RICE GRAVES (287) AND JANE YOUNG

Capt. John Graves (762) may have been born in 1766, and died in 1843 in Louisa Co., Va. He left a will there. He married Mary Ragland, daughter of William Ragland and Agnes ------, on 24 Aug. 1795 in Louisa Co., Va. He lived in Ellisville, Louisa Co., Va. He served in the militia in the Rev. War, and received a pension of $40 per month.

John was the only son of Rice and Jane Graves to remain in Louisa Co. In his will (Louisa Rec. W.B. 11, p. 33) he leaves to his daughter Elizabeth, wife of John Poindexter, of Christian Co., Ky.,.... and land gifts to his grandson John Poindexter, Jr. and grandson Richard M. Graves, son of John R., also to Richard a prize "given to me by the Fredericksburg Agricultural Society with a stallion engraved on it, together with my money scales". (In 1936 this prize given to John Graves was in the possession of a descendant, Mr. John Payton McGuire, 1510 Grove Ave., Richmond, Va.) (R-510, R-530)

+2076. John Ragland Graves, b.c. 1809, m. Lucy Bolling Smith, 8 Feb. 1830, d. 2 Jan. 1837.

 

Thomas Graves (763) was born Oct. 1763 in Louisa Co., Va., and died May 1847 at the home of William Winfrey in Cumberland Co., Ky. He moved to Ky., probably Fayette Co., in 1783. He first married Mary Chilton, daughter of Thomas Chilton and Ann Bayne Owsley, on 25 Aug. 1785 in Lincoln Co., Ky. She was born about 1765 in Loudon Co., Va., and died about 1842 in Cumberland Co., Ky.

He secondly married Marley P. Walthall on 19 Oct. 1842 in Cumberland Co., Ky. She died after 1855. There were no children by Thomas's second marriage. Thomas Graves enlisted in the Revolutionary War in 1780 under Capt. Phillips and Capt. Yancy and served to the end of the war. See his pension record.

In the following list of children there are two Elizabeths. It seems unlikely that this is correct. It is more likely that one of them is not a child of Thomas Graves, or was not named Elizabeth. (R-510)

Benjamin Graves (764) was born about 1765 in Louisa Co., Va., and died about 1846 in Midway, Woodford Co., Ky. He married Sallie Cole of Virginia, daughter of Richard Cole and Ann Hubbard. She was born about 1765 in Va., and died in 183- in Midway, Woodford Co., Ky.

Richard Cole (1729-1814) was from Culpeper Co., Va., and was a son of John and Susanna Cole. In 1782, Richard Cole moved to Woodford Co. and eventually settled at what is now Midway, Ky. Located on the old Frankfort and Lexington Road, he was the proprietor of the Black Horse Tavern. The tavern was continued by his son, Richard, Jr., and was a stopping place for historical figures of the day such as Henry Clay. Richard Cole, Jr. was a greatgrandfather of Frank and Jesse James.

Probably all his children were born in Woodford Co., Ky., or in that part of Fayette Co. which became Woodford in 1788. (R-105)

William Graves (769) was born 29 (or 30) Jan. 1768 in Louisa Co., Va., and died 14 (or 12) Dec. 1852 at Preacherville, Garrard Co., Ky., near Crab Orchard, Ky. He married Lydia Ann Williams on 2 May 1793. Her father was the bondsman. She was a daughter of John Williams of Lincoln Co., Ky. and Ann Bayne Owsley (the widow of George Chilton). Lydia died 17 June 1815 at Preacherville, Ky., and was buried in the Old Drakes Camp Creek Churchyard Cem. there (tombstone listing published by Mrs. M. H. Dunn, Stanford, Ky.). William was buried there in 1852 beside her.

William Graves wrote a will dated 31 Sept. 1827, dividing his property among five children. The will follows:

Nancy Procter and Mary Ann and Williamson Mullins are buried in the old Drakes Camp Creek Churchyard, as are William Graves and Lydia Ann, his wife. What happened to the old church is lost at present in antiquity, but a new church was built on the road. This church burned and a modern church building was built in 1950. It is known today as Drakes Creek Baptist Church.

On a trace going north from Crab Orchard, Ky. was the site of Lewis Craig's church located on Gilbert's Creek in 1781. This is said to be the first church in Ky. The site is now in Garrard Co. On this trace is a village called Preacherville, which has the distinction of being the only town of that name in the U.S. This section of Ky. was the destination of many preachers who visited the territory in pioneer days. Lewis Craig's people were what was known as "The Traveling Church". His entire congregation in Virginia moved with him to Kentucky. (R-21)

CHILDREN OF DAVID GRAVES (288) AND AGNES HOLLOWAY

Edmund Graves (773) was born in 1762 in Surry Co., N.C., and died 12 July 1834 in Shelby Co., Ky. In 1785, Edmund moved with his father to Shelby Co., where he lived until his death. He was married twice. He first married Nancy ------. He secondly married Judith Holloway on 21 Aug. 1823.

According to family legend, Edmund was known as Roman, his mother's name was Pendleton, and he was a descendant of one of three Graves brothers who came to Virginia from England in the 1600's.

Edmund is listed in the first tax list of Shelby Co., Ky. Jane (apparently Edmund's first wife) and Edmund Graves with their two children, Betsy and John, are listed in 1811 with 19 charter members of the Salem (Beech Creek) Baptist Church, which is near Mt. Eden, Ky.

Edmund served as a private with the North Carolina troops in the Rev. War. He was drafted for two 6-month terms and volunteered for two 3-month terms. He fought in an engagement against the British near Charleston, S.C., and was in the battles of Camden, Cowan's Ford, and Guilford Court House in N.C. This was between the years of 1779 and 1781.

One of Edmund's daughters, Susan, applied for his pension for him in New Castle, Ky. in 1834, application executed May 10, 1834. In order to qualify, he stated that "he was born in 1762 in Surry Co., N.C., and was residing there when he entered the service in March 1779 under the command of Capt Scott, who was attached to Col. Cleveland's Regiment. By order of General Nash, they marched to join General Lincoln in S.C." He further stated that he lived in Surry until he came to Shelby Co., Ky. in 1785.

At the time Susan made application for his pension, they applied to a lawyer, William I. (or J.) Graves of New Castle, Ky. (relationship not known). The daughter stated that Edmund had married twice and had spent nearly all his property, and to add to this, the second Mrs. Graves had not used her influence to contribute to the wishes of the Fergusons. Susan further said that Edmund was not in his right mind at the time of the application. From the Pensioners List, Edmund Graves, Private, N.C. Line, was paid $42.00, 27 May 1834, at which time he was listed as 72 years old. Apparently, Edmund died shortly after this, as in July 1834, the Court House Records of Shelby Co., Ky., reveal that the estate of Edmund Graves was ordered to be settled. It lists his widow as Judith Graves (Edmund's second wife), and heirs as David Graves, Richard Graves, William H. Graves, William Ferguson, Joshua Jennings, William Figg, John Graves, and Ben Figg.

There is no will on record, but there is a division of land and settlement of personal property (mentioned above), and a division of slaves and release of the dower right of Judith Graves.

The division of slaves is interesting because the slaves were monetarily valued, then lots were drawn by the heirs and the money was adjusted accordingly. Daughters names were not mentioned but the names of sons- in-law were listed. The widow, Judith Graves, sold her dower right of the slaves to the heirs, which would bind them to pay to her the legal interest annually on the one-third part of the value of said slaves.

It is not clear which children were by which wife. Since the second marriage was not until 1823, maybe all the children were by the first marriage. (R-70, R-73)

Elizabeth ("Betsy") Graves (775) was born in 1775 or 1776 in KY, and died 10 June 1846 in Claiborne Parish, LA. She married John Leatherman, son of Peter Leatherman or of Christian Leatherman and Julianna ------, on 3 Feb. 1797 in Shelby Co., KY. He was born in 1777 in PA, and died 22 Aug. 1857 in Claiborne Parish, LA. He is said to have served in the War of 1812. (R-76, R-173, R-510)

+2124. Delilah Leatherman, m. Derostus Beverly Cargill, 7 March 1822, d. 1838-9.

 

Richard ("Dickey") Graves (776) was born about 1776. He married Nellie (or Nelly) Tilley, daughter of Lazarus Tilley, on 26 (or 20 or 10) Dec. 1797 in Shelby Co., Ky.

There is some belief that Richard was a son of Edmund Graves (b. 1762), but this seems very unlikely, considering that Edmund would have been only about 14 years old when Richard was born. It was also stated that Edmund gave his consent for Richard's marriage; if this is correct, it could have been because Edmund was the oldest brother and Richard's father, David, was unavailable.

Richard was in Shelby Co., Ky. by 1800, and was listed in both the 1810 and 1820 censuses. In 1820 the listing is: males, 1(0-10), 1(16-25), 1(45+); females, 1(0-10), 2(10-15), 1(26-44).

Although there seem not to be any records, Richard probably died between 1820 and 1830. Richard in 1818 sold 51 acres on Guist, and in 1819 and 1820 bought property on Beech. (R-70)

Susannah Graves (777) was born about 1774-80 in NC, and died 19 Sept. 1850. Her name is spelled Susanna on her gravestone. She married Thomas E. Martin. He was born about 1774-79 in NC, and died 23 Aug. 1854.

They moved to Indiana, Owen or Putnam Co., about 1827, probably from Breckinridge Co., KY, or another nearby county. They moved with the Sinclair family, and 2 Martin daughters married 2 Sinclair sons in Putnam Co., IN. Thomas was postmaster of Cloverdale, Putnam Co., IN. He is said to have fought under Gen. Harrison, 1810-12. (R-193, R-194)

Samuel Graves (778) was born 10 July 1791 and died 7 March 1840. He married Priscilla Hedden on 11 Jan. 1813.

In the 1820 census for Shelby Co., Ky., his age is listed as 26-44. The rest of the family is listed: males, 3(0-10), 1(16-18), 1(16-25); females, 2(10-16), 1(26-44). Considering the age of the older males in the family, Samuel might have had some of his younger brothers with him at that time.

The 1830 Shelby Co., Ky. census shows Samuel as 30-40 years, and the others as: males, 2(0-5), 2(5-10), 2(10-15), 1(15-20); females, 2(10-15), 1(30-40).

Samuel bought land, as recorded in the grantor records of Shelby Co., from 1824 to 1840, on Jephta, Beech, 6 mile, and Guist. He was living most of the time in the same area as the rest of the Graves family. He also witnessed the release of Judith Graves' (widow of Edmund Graves) dower right in 1834.

Samuel died in March 1840 and the 1840 Shelby Co. census listed Priscilla, age 40-50, as head of the household. There were still six children at home: males, 1(10-15), 2(15-20), 2(20-30); females, 1 (20-30).

By 1850, Priscilla had moved to Spencer Co., Ky. She was 62 years of age, and with her were three sons and a grandson: Edmund, age 33, David S., age 24, Thomas W., age 23, and William Clayton (grandson), age 10.

Samuel's will was written in 1834 and mentions Edmund as his oldest son, Jacob, Francis Clayton (daughter), and Elizabeth Stearn (daughter), as his children of age. Samuel probably had 7 sons and 4 daughters. (R-70)

She was born 29 Jan. 1771 in Yanceyville, N.C., and died in 1828. Verification for the children listed below is found in Elizabeth's will, dated 5 Oct. 1827, probated 1828, Will Book L, p. 266. Elizabeth outlived her husband Thomas, since an inventory of his property is found in Record Book B, p. 19, in 1803.

All the following children, except for Vincent and John, were mentioned in the will of John Herndon Graves (Book L, p. 462, Caswell Co., N.C.). Another source (R-179) lists Evans and Chandler instead of Vincent and John. (R-127)

CHILDREN OF ROBERT GRAVES (293)

Lewis Graves (810) was born 17 July 1760 in Spotsylvania Co., Va. (according to his Revolutionary War pension application R4207), and died in 1839 in Newton Co., Ga. (pension application statement by grandson John Sholars). The records cited in the following paragraphs show that he lived in Chesterfield Co. (Cheraw District), S.C. and Anson Co., N.C. before enlisting in 1776. He apparently lived in Wilkes Co. and Washington Co., Ga. about 1782-1786, was in Anson Co., N.C., 1786-1791, and was in Washington Co. (later Hancock Co.), Ga., 1791-1809. He moved to Jasper Co., Ga. in 1809, and to Newton Co., Ga. in 1823.

He married Ann or Amy Worthen (or Worthy or Worthington) in 1781, about the close of the Rev. War. A wife Amy signed a Hancock Co. deed in 1808. Since Lewis was closely associated with a William and Richard Worthan in N.C., and later in Ga., the last name of his wife may have been Worthan. The 1800 N.C. census shows the surnames Worthy, Worthington, Wortham (the most common form), and Wartham, but no Worthan, Worthen, or other similar spellings. The 1805 Georgia Land Lottery listing shows surnames spelled Wortham, Worthen (including a Richard and William in Washington Co., Ga.), Worthey, and Worthy.

Lewis entered Revolutionary War service in 1776, while a resident of Chesterfield Co. (Cheraw District), S.C. (pension app.). He lived very close to the state line (pension app. of Richard Graves). He enlisted for a tour of duty in 1781 from Wake Co., N.C., and moved to Georgia one year after the war (pension app.).

He was in Wilkes Co., Ga. in 1785 (Land Grant FFF, p. 444, 100 acres, Early Records of Georgia, by Davidson, vol. 2, p. 65; 1 poll, 100 acres, Ledbetter's district). He was in Washington Co., Ga. in 1786. He returned to Anson Co., N.C. in 1786 (Anson Co. adjoins Chesterfield Co., S.C.). Deeds in Anson Co. show that Lewis Graves was there from 1786 to 1791.

Anson Co. Deed Book H, p. 38: William Worthan sells 200 acres to Lewis Graves. Both are listed as of Washington Co., Ga. The land was located on Taltons Creek, off Thompson Creek. William had purchased the land from Richard Worthan in 1784. The deed was witnessed by Richard and John Graves, as shown in the copy below.

William Worthan to Lewis Graves: This indenture made the 15th day of October in the year of our Lord 1786 between William Worthan of the County of Washington and State of Georgia, planter, the one part and Lewis Graves of the same place, planter, of the other part.

John Graves (811) was born about 1763, according to Varney Graves, although the 1820-1840 Ga. censuses indicate a birthdate of 1770-1775. According to History of Chattahoochee County, Georgia, he died 1851 in Fayette Co., Ga. The grave of John Graves, Revolutionary soldier, was marked by the DAR in Oct. 1933, and is south of Ga. highway 54, just east of Flint River in Clayton Co., Ga., once Fayette Co., but originally Henry Co., near Mundy's Mill, in the Ward Cem. John Graves was living with the family of one of his daughters, Elizabeth ("Betsy") Ward at the time of his death.

John married Rebecca Harris. There is some possibility that he may have been married another time also. Rebecca died in their home and was also buried in the Ward Cem.

John and his family lived in N.C. and S.C. before 1804, and moved to Hancock Co., Ga. by 1804. The 1850 census gives the birthplace of John's sons as follows: David, N.C.(2446), John Jr., S.C.(2450), Minton, S.C., James, Ga.(2454). They were in Capt. Thomas' District, Hancock Co., Ga. in 1806, along with John's brother Lewis. They moved to Jasper Co. between 1810 and 1818. In 1820, when a treaty with the Creek Indians was being negotiated, John Graves, Lewis Graves and John's son David were in Jasper Co., Ga. (1820 census). In the spring of 1821, when this treaty was finalized and Fayette Co. was formed, lands west of Flint River became available for settlers, and John Graves, David Graves, and the rest of John's family moved there. Family legend is that this move was made by loading all the family possessions in an ox cart. All of John's children who had not yet married, except for Minton, married in Fayette Co.

By tradition, John Graves and Lewis Graves were brothers. John witnessed an Anson Co., N.C. deed, William Worthan to Lewis Graves, 15 Oct. 1786. Other evidence of their connection is shown in the following paragraphs.

1804 Hancock Co., Ga. Tax Roll, Capt. Dixon's District (same district as Lewis Graves):

Samuel Graves, 190-1/2 acres granted Borland, adjoining Graves, Little Ogeechee

John Graves, 1 slave, 578-1/2 acres granted Borland, adjoining Wadsworth, Little Ogeechee

 

John Graves was shown in the Hancock Co. 1805 and 1807 lottery lists, in the same district as Lewis Graves.

Richard Graves (812) was born 30 Dec. 1765, according to his pension application. He lived in S.C. and N.C., and served in the Revolution (pension app. S-8598). Richard declared in the pension application of Lewis Graves that they served together. Richard signed the stub indent of Lewis Graves in S.C. (S.C. Archives).

Richard married Nancy ------. (The last name of his wife is not known.)

The pension application of Richard Graves states: Resident of Anson Co., N.C. in 1832, and had been for many years. He entered the service from Chesterfield Co., S.C., and said he lived very close to the N.C. line at that time. His father told him he entered the service when he was 15 years, 2 months of age, around 1779 or 1780. His service was witnessed by Thomas Davis, who also was a witness for the application of Lewis Graves.

Joel Gullage, a minister, stated he had known Richard Graves for 48 years, and he was a faithful member of the church. Reuben Phillips and James Gordon also stated they were well acquainted with Richard.

Included in Richard's pension file is a letter from Levi Adams, attorney, saying a granddaughter of Richard asked him to write and see whether Richard ever received a pension. The letter was dated Sept. 30, 1860, Henderson Co., Tenn.

Richard Graves was a "messenger" in 1803 from Deep Creek Baptist Church, Chesterfield Co., S.C.

The following are the census records for Richard Graves:

1790 Chesterfield Co., S.C.: 1 male, 16+; 1 male, 0-16; 3 females.

1810 Anson Co., N.C.: 2 males, 0-10; 2 males, 10-16; 1 male, 45+; 2 females, 0-10; 1 female, 10-16; 1 female, 16-26; 1 female, 26-45; 4 slaves.

1820 Anson Co., N.C.: 1 male, 16-18; 2 males, 18-26; 1 male, 45+; 1 female, 0-10; 1 female, 10-16; 1 female, 26-45; 13 slaves.

1830 Anson Co., N.C.: 1 male, 0-5; 1 male, 15-20; 1 male, 50-60; 2 females, 0-5; 1 female, 5-10; 1 female, 10-15; 1 female, 20-30; 15 slaves.

Although there is no proof from these census records of relationship between members of Richard's household, the following summary is one possible interpretation.

Richard, b. 1765, d. 1830-1840 wife, b. 1775-1784 (perhaps about 1775), d. 1820-1830

male 1, b. 1785-1790 (perhaps about 1790)

2, b. 1794-1800

3, b. 1794-1800

4, b. 1802-1804

5, b. 1800-1810

6, b. 1820-1825

7, b. 1825-1830

female 1, b. 1774-1790

2, b. 1784-1790

3, b. 1794-1800

4, b. 1804-1810

5, b. 1815-1820

6, b. 1820-1825

7, b. 1825-1830

8, b. 1825-1830

Even if the last two males and the last three or four females were grandchildren rather than children of Richard, it seems likely that he had more than the one son, Lewis, who is presently proven.

CHILDREN OF MARY GRAVES (296) AND BENJAMIN CLEVELAND

Absalom Cleveland (813) was born about 1759 in Albemarle Co., VA, died 1838 in Pickens Co., SC, and was buried near his father at Cleveland Plantation, Pickens Co. (or Oconee Co.), SC. He married Martha ("Patty") Harrison, daughter of Benjamin Harrison and Sarah Bullard, on 11 Nov. 1782 in Wilkes Co., NC. She may have died and been buried in Oconee Co., SC. (R-208, R-210, R-211)

Capt. John Cleveland (814), called "Devil John", was born in 1760 (or about 1769) in Culpeper Co., VA, and died in 1810 (or 1805) in Tugaloo, near Jerrett's Bridge, Oconee Co., SC. He married a widow, Catherine (Slocum) Montgomery, in Wilkes Co., NC. (Her name has also been given as Catherine Montgomery Sloan or Slone or Slocum.) She was born about 1769 in Ireland. They died and their 4 daughters and 2 sons were raised by their grandparents, Ben and Mary Cleveland.

Other than Mary Graves Cleveland, there is some uncertainty about their children. One of their daughters could have been Catherine Cleveland (b.c. 1788) who married General Rush (perhaps the Thomas Jefferson Rusk or Rush mentioned in connection with John Cleveland's sister, Mary). (R-20, R-205, R-209, R-210)

CHILDREN OF REUBEN GRAVES (316) AND ELIZABETH YARBROUGH

Rice Graves (828) was born about 1790-92 in VA. He married Candice ------. She was born in NC. It is not known when Rice married Candice, but he is listed as head of household in the 1820 Jackson Co., TN census. He is in the Wilson Co., TN censuses for 1830, 1840, 1850 and 1860.

Rice and his family moved to Hot Spring Co., Territory of Arkansas, about 1833-35.

The will of Rice Graves was written 26 Feb. 1873, and recorded 24 April 1876 in the Wilson Co., TN court. As Candice was not mentioned, it is assumed she died before then. He did not mention son Thomas, who was in the 1850 Wilson Co., TN census as age 18. He was the right age to be in the Civil War, and it is assumed he had died, perhaps in the war, before the will was written. The reason his daughter Lucy was mentioned is because she left 2 children who were to receive her share of the estate. The sale of his inventory was recorded 22 Aug. 1876. The children listed below, probably in birth order, are from Rice's will. (R-213)

The will of Beman Graves was filed Sept. 4, 1865 in Smith Co., Tenn. Other records include a deed in 1871, Smith Co., Tenn.; land survey, 1825-1898, Smith Co., Tenn.; inventory of estate, 1871, Smith Co., Tenn. The 1870 U.S. census of Smith Co., Tenn. listed "Snooky" Graves, age 80; Susannah Graves in later years was called "Snooky". (R-43)

John Parrott Graves (837) was born 1792, probably in Halifax Co., VA, and died about 1858 in White Co., TN, just north of Sparta. He married Sarah Huse Barton about 1828. She was born in 1806 in MA, and died in 1859 in Hilham, Overton Co., TN (close to the Cumberland River, about 15 miles south of the KY border). Her parents were Rev. Titus Theodore Barton (b. 17 Feb. 1766 in Granby, MA, d. 1827 in IL) and Ruth Huse (b. 1769 in Granby, MA, d. 1853 in Jacksonville, IL). (R-41, R-43)

It has also been stated that Lucy Graves married William C. Burke (or Burks), and that they were the parents of Esom Logan Burke. However, the relationship of Elizabeth Graves and John Burke as the parents was researched by Kathy Austin of Aurora, Colo. Her information is from claim of widow for service pension, War of 1812; Smith Co., Tenn., newspaper of 19 Aug. 1842, where Jane asked for server of heirs; census records; and Caroline Burke who was a daughter of Franklin Parrott Burke and knew some of the people personally.

CHILDREN OF WILLIAM W. GRAVES (518) AND MILDRED BERGER

David William Graves (1343) was born 28 Feb. 1837 in Pittsylvania Co., Va., near the present town of Sandy Level, and died 26 Dec. 1918, at age 81, in Montgomery City, Mo. In 1840, he moved with his parents from Va. to eastern Montgomery Co., Mo., where he grew to manhood on his father's farm near Price's Branch.

His principal teacher was his uncle, Judge David Nowlin. He attended William Jewell College, and received his BA and MA degrees from the Univ. of Missouri in 1862.

He married Julia Ann Crockett, daughter of Rev. William Wallace Crockett (1809-1879) and Elizabeth (Gray) Smith (1819-1882), on 18 March 1863. She was born 17 May 1841 in Pike Co., Mo., and died 12 July 1925 in Montgomery City, Mo. They were both buried in the Montgomery City Cem. Julia Ann's father was a Cumberland Presbyterian minister, physician, and farmer, of a pioneer Virginia and Tennessee family. Col. David Crockett was a cousin. Julia Ann was the essence of religious kindness.

Rev. David William Graves was licensed in 1862 and ordained in 1866 as a Baptist minister by Zion Baptist Church in Montgomery Co., Mo. He served as pastor of Loutre, Zion, Liberty, Mount Pleasant, Middletown, Wellsville and Troy churches in the Bear Creek Association in that area. He supervised and taught schools at Montgomery College and in LaGrange, Ky., and after 1882 in southeast Missouri, in Sedgwickville, Patton, and then for an extended period at Mayfield-Smith Academy (later Will Mayfield College). This latter institution was just being founded at Marble Hill, Bollinger Co., Mo., and is the school his children attended. Their "Forest Home" near Marble Hill was their home until 1900, when they returned to Montgomery City.

During those times, Rev. Graves preached at Sedgwickville, Smithville, Marquand, Patton, Lutesville and Marble Hill, and at Oak Ridge in the Cape Girardeau Association. For three terms in the 1890's, he was superintendent and instructor at the Wetumka, Okla., Government Indian Territory School, assisted for short periods by his daughters Mildred and Sue Belle.

In his late years he wrote an autobiography preserving the recollections of his interesting life of honorable Christian service and education, including a trip with his father just after the Civil War to again see his Virginia relatives. (Much of this information was published in Bollinger County, 1851-1976, p. 864.) (R-164, R-515)

CHILDREN OF JONATHAN GRAVES (554) AND MARGARET LONG

Hon. Richard Perrin Graves (1479) was born 2 May 1823 (or 1820) at "Pleasant View", located two and a half miles from Orange Springs, Orange Co., Va., and 12 miles from Orange Court House, and died 26 (or 25) April 1894.

In 1840 Richard added a large brick section to his father's house. At some point the home was called "Wilmington". On his death it was sold (allegedly, but without proof, to a member of the Crenshaw family, with whom the Graves were interrelated) and the name was changed to "Pleasant View". The home still stands today, abandoned, on land owned and used to raise cattle by a descendant of Isaac Graves and his third wife Jemima.

Richard first married Lucy Frances Graves, daughter of his cousin Charles T. Graves, on 7 May 1847 in Orange Co., Va. She was born 19 June 1822 and died 2 Aug. 1877. He secondly married Fanny Barbour Moore, daughter of William C. Moore and Mehitable Taylor of Rose Valley, Orange Co., Va., and widow of Edwin Moore, her third cousin.

Richard Perrin Graves served as a Captain in the Army of Virginia during the Civil War, and was a member of the House of Delegates of Virginia in 1893. He was a man of education and refinement, and was highly respected by his friends and neighbors.

His will, filed Jan. 10, 1882, names his son James as executor and asks that he care for Richard's wife, Fanny. The will leaves nothing to Richard, Jr., "advancements having already been made." (R-52, R-515)

CHILDREN OF WILLIAM GRAVES (569) AND ELIZABETH DAVIDSON

Thomas Graves (1539) was born about 1787, probably in Albemarle Co., Va., and died 28 April 1859 at Huntsville, Randolph Co., Mo.

His parentage is unproven, although it appears (as John Card Graves asserted) that he was the son of William Graves and Elizabeth Davidson. There was a William Graves who was a militiaman from Amherst Co. (later Nelson Co.), Va., in the Revolutionary War. A William Graves appeared on the 1782 tax list in Amherst Co., but did not appear in 1785. A study of the tax lists of neighboring Albemarle Co. would suggest that Thomas was the son of or at least lived in the household of one John Graves. Still another unverified source asserts that Thomas was the son of an Edward Graves. In any case there were several Graveses in the same region of Virginia who appear to be brothers or near cousins to Thomas.

Thomas Graves first married Judith Turner on or about 20 Nov. 1810 in Nelson Co., Va. She was born about 1789 in Amherst Co., Va., and died in 1837 in Nelson Co., Va. She was a daughter of James Turner (c. 1744-1805) and Rebecca Hamner (c. 1753-1808).

It appears that Thomas secondly married Phebe Ames in 1840 in Albemarle Co., Va. She died a few years later in what is now West Virginia while Thomas and a number of his children were moving to Missouri.

Thomas married as his third wife Mrs. Elizabeth H. Nalley on 27 Dec. 1846 in Lincoln Co., Mo. They later lived in Howard and Randolph counties in Mo. Two children were born to this marriage, the younger child being born when Thomas was 64 years of age. Elizabeth, Thomas' widow, died 22 March 1895 at Moberly, Randolph Co., Mo. Thomas Graves had served a short stint in the War of 1812 and received bounty lands for his service, and his widow successfully applied for a pension. (R-45)

Addison Graves (1652) was born in 1809 in Granville Co., N.C., died in 1860 in Sevier Co., Ark., and is believed to be buried in an unmarked grave in the old Graves Cem., Howard Co., Ark. He was five years old when his family moved to Giles Co., Tenn. He married Elizabeth ("Bettie") Amis Graves (#3226), daughter of William C. Graves and Elizabeth Amis, in 1835 in Fayette Co., Tenn. She was born in 1813 in Tenn. All their children were born in Fayette Co., Tenn.

Addison Graves and other members of the Graves family left Fayette Co., Tenn. in 1852, planning to relocate in southwest Arkansas. Unable to cross the Mississippi River because of high water, the group camped on the east bank for several days. A disagreement occurred, some unwilling to wait for the waters to recede changed their minds and settled in Mississippi, while Addison and others crossed the river several days later and settled in Sevier Co., Ark. Some members of the family who went to Miss. eventually went to Howard Co., Ark., and settled near Center Point.

The will of Addison Graves lists his children's names as William, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Martha and Fanney, while the 1850 census of Fayette Co., Tenn. shows their names as William, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Manitta and Lachlin. Another source mentions children Marietta and Latch.

While living in Sevier Co., Ark. (that part that later became Howard Co. in 1873), the Graves family attended the Center Methodist Church. At that time there were three rows of pews inside the church; men sat on one side, women on the opposite side, and their slaves occupied the center section.

According to the book Methodism in Arkansas, 1816-1976, by Walter N. Vernon, Center Church, organized in 1841, was the second oldest church in the county. The oldest Methodist Church in present day Sevier Co. is Green's Chapel Methodist Church in Lebanon, Ark., organized in 1840. (R-110)

CHILDREN OF RALPH GRAVES (650) AND ELIZABETH B. GRAVES

Rev. Elijah Graves (1681) was born 23 Jan. 1791 at Grassy Creek, Granville Co., N.C., and died 7 May 1869 in Houston, Texas. He married Areanna (or Ariana) Stanford, daughter of Hon. Richard Stanford and granddaughter of Hon. Alexander Mebane (both members of Congress), on 5 May 1812 in Orange Co., N.C. She died in 1864 at Clinton (now Cuero), Texas.

They settled on a farm given him by his father, located about two miles from the latter's home in Granville Co. Their parents also gave them 20 negroes and a supply of horses and cattle. In addition to farming, he had a large private school.

They must have moved to Orange Co., N.C. about 1817 (unless the county boundaries changed), since their first 3 children were born in Granville Co., N.C., but the others were born in Orange Co., N.C., with the 5th through the 9th child born at Longmeadow, N.C. (R-515)

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (657) AND SARAH ------

William Graves (1683) married Frances Elam, daughter of Joel Elam (Mecklenburg W.B. 4, p. 49), on 14 (or 20) Oct. 1795 in Mecklenburg Co., Va., by William Richards, minister; surety: Thomas Graves. He apparently died about 1821 in Mecklenburg Co., Va. (ibid, W.B. 9, p. 259). His estate settled in 1825 (ibid, W.B. 9, p. 275) shows that William Graves, Jr., received one-third part of the estate, "by cash of Daniel Graves balance G. leaf tobacco."

Court records from Mecklenburg Co., Va., having to do with the estate of William Graves, list all the children shown below. One of the papers dated 16 July 1836 mentions Frances Graves of Robertson Co., Tenn., widow of the late William Graves dec'd., etc. It is signed by the children with her in Tenn.: James E. Graves, William Graves, William Dotson, Martha Jane Dotson, James M. Barton or Burton, Elizabeth Barton or Burton. It is authorizing Daniel Graves (still in Mecklenburg Co., Va.) to sell her land (dower right from William Graves estate) in Mecklenburg Co., Va. (R-77, R-82, R-524)

Sarah Graves (1693) was born in 1778, and died 16 Jan. 1857 in Albemarle Co., VA. She married John Toms on 22 April 1792 in Albemarle Co., VA. (R-230)

Richard Graves (1696) was born about 1773, apparently in VA. He was always called "Dickey", according to Mrs. Murriel L. Smith. According to tradition, he "originated near Richmond, VA", possibly Amherst Co., VA. The Graves and Murrell families were found in Dinwiddie Co., VA also. He died 11 Jan. 1849 in White Co., IL, and was buried in Phillipstown Cem., White Co., IL.

Amherst Co. is much too far west to be considered "near Richmond." David Graves, the father of the Richard ("Dickie") Graves who married Nellie Tilley was born near Richmond in Louisa or Spotsylvania Co. This David was in Surry Co., NC by 1762, in Shelby Co., KY by 1807, and was descended from immigrant Capt. Thomas Graves of VA. Dickie Graves who married Nelly Tilley on 26 Dec. 1797 in Shelby Co., Ky. has long been confused with the Richard Graves who married Millie Murrell, but it is now apparent that they are two different people.

The Richard Graves of this genealogy was descended from Capt. Thomas Graves of VA as follows: Thomas1, John2, Ralph3, Ralph4 m. Unity White, John5 m. Elizabeth, John6 m. Lucy Adams, John7, Richard8. Richard's parents were listed in the 1810 Albemarle Co., VA census. The source for the parentage of Richard is Critzer-Drumheller Ancestors by Margaret C. Reese, Waynesboro, VA, 1979. According to this book, Richard secondly married Jane Fielding (widow) on 28 Feb. 1799 in Augusta Co., VA. (See also The Graves Family Newsletter, pp. 70-71, 1995.)

Richard Graves first married Millie (or Milly) Murrell (or Murril) on 14 March 1796 in Amherst Co., VA. He later married Cassandra Riggs, probably as his third wife. She was born 10 May 1784 or 1787 in Va., died 18 Jan. 1871 in White Co., Ill., and was buried in Phillipstown Cem., White Co. It is not known for sure whether Elizabeth and Nancy were by the first or second marriage.

The first four children were born in Va., the second and third probably in Amherst Co., and the fourth definitely there according to her grave marker at Stokes Chapel. Richard Graves, Jr. was born in Ky., and Nancy may have been. Although Elizabeth was supposedly born in White Co., it seems more likely that she was born in Ky. The last three children were probably born in White Co., Ill.

 

The following is an article by Barry Cleveland that appeared in the Carmi Times, vol. 25, no. 30, Tues., 4 Feb. 1975, Carmi, Ill. "For more than a century and a half they stood, silent but eloquent testimony to the skill of their creators and the strength of their timbers.

Stoically they braved the ravages of weather and time; quietly they perservered as hundreds and thousands of their kind grew up around them, aged and withered away.

Generations of men and animals sought their shelter; generously they offered it to their builders and their builder's children and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren...

And then, in the 16th decade of their existence, there were no more men to shelter. And slow death set in.

But death was not to be the fate of these two aging Phillips Township structures, located just 1-1/2 miles south of Crossville, believed to be the oldest in White County. Resurrection in a new setting, instead, lies before them, across the river in New Harmony, Ind.

Here is the story, pieced together from old abstracts, family histories and stories by Mrs. John C. (Grace) Spencer, Carmi.

Richard Graves, a Virginia pioneer, found the old Dominion's atmosphere a bit stifling toward the end of the 1700's and moved west to Kentucky.

By that time "Old Kaintuck" had also become a state, and Graves, probably infected with the "go west, young man" fever which was so much a part of the American psyche, soon moved on. He settled, eventually, in what was to become White County, Ill.

Graves cleared a bit of the flat land about 1-1/2 miles south of what is now Crossville and built a log house, probably around 1805. He soon added another one-room structure nearby and built a loft to connect the two, leaving space between them (and beneath the loft) wide enough for a team and wagon to pass through.

Here Richard Graves settled with his second wife, Cassandra, and began to carve a life out of the Illinois wilderness. Back east, Thomas Jefferson was the President of the United States -- the same Thomas Jefferson whose home was just 40 miles from Richard Graves' old home in Amherst County, Va. But out in the bleak Northwest Territories, there were far more important considerations than worrying about national affairs. There was a growing family to raise, feed, and house.

Richard Graves soon saw the need for a new home, so he undertook to build a second double log house just southwest of the original. He could afford to take a bit more care with this one, and he did; the logs of the first building were more roughly hewn than the second.

The new structure was completed about 1810, and the growing Graves family moved in. It was headquarters for the 2,000-acre family estate, but also a haven from the elements and the Indians who still occasionally plagued the settlers. The "old" house eventually became a barn.

Civilization finally caught up to Richard Graves, and, with a family of eight children to feed and a large farm to help him with that task, he gave up his flight from it, and settled down.

His sons were growing fast, and in 1837 he presented his namesake, Richard Jr., with the land on which the home place stood, for "services rendered as a dutiful son."

History doesn't record when the senior Graves died, and details of the next years of the estate are sketchy. [His tombstone at Phillipstown Cemetery gives his death date as 11 Jan. 1849.] The junior Graves farmed his land and lived in the family homestead until his death in 1877, leaving eight children and a grandchild as heirs.

The home place went to a son, Lafayette Graves, but it was soon to pass temporarily out of the family. Samuel Goodman acquired the place in 1884, but he died in 1888. Then came Jacob Dennis, a Crossville man. [Samuel Goodman was a grandson of Richard Graves, and a son of Elizabeth Graves and James Goodman. However, Jacob Dennis was not descended from Richard Graves, as far as is known.]

In 1899, Mrs. Alice Spencer Caplinger, widow of John Spencer, acquired the property and moved into the old house, where she lived until her death in 1937.

Two years later, her grandson, John C. Spencer, who had lived with Mrs. Caplinger for many years, acquired the property from his brothers and sister -- Earl and Alfred, both of Carmi, Mrs. Lucille Lamar and Mrs. Alma Wave McKnight, both then of Crossville. Their father, Chancey, died in 1920 at the age of 36.

Thus the old homestead was again in the possession of a Graves descendant. John's grandmother was Lucy Graves Hart, his greatgrandfather Thomas Graves, his greatgreat- grandfather Richard Graves, Jr.

Eventually, the house became vacant, and its deterioration accelerated.

The family had learned of the buildings' approximate age in the late 1930's, from the aging Henry Graves, son of Richard Jr. and uncle of Mrs. Sarah Forrester, Crossville. As the structures began to decay, the Spencers grew progressively concerned, particularly Mary Jane and John E. Mrs. Spencer considered tearing them down, but the children persuaded her to wait a bit, in hopes that someone would want the old logs for preservation's sake.

And then New Harmony entered the picture. Richard Travis, county superintendent of schools and a friend of the Spencers, suggested that they talk with a historically-minded organization called Historic New Harmony.

Mrs. Spencer did just that, contacting Ralph Schwarz, a Connecticut native who heads HNH. Upon discovering the historical nature of the buildings, he agreed to purchase them for reconstruction on a site in New Harmony.

The work began late last fall. The siding and roof were torn away from first the house and then the barn, exposing the ancient logs. These were carefully numbered and charted and then moved to the Indiana site, where they will be reconstructed by this summer.

The buildings are probably older than any still standing in either White County or New Harmony, Schwarz said. They are of the same type which were built in the early days at New Harmony, but they will be clearly labeled in the reconstruction as being from White County.

Exactly what use the buildings will be put to remains to be seen, although tourists will be able to view them.

In any case, the Spencers can relax, knowing that their old homestead is in good hands, and White Countians can take pride in the reconstruction of one of their historic old buildings in one of the nation's most historic little towns." (R-231, R-233)

He married, probably Rebecca Starnes, daughter of Aaron Starnes and Mary Ann ------, about 1810 in Laurens Co., SC. She was born about 1789 or 1790 in SC, and died in March 1858 in IL. They moved to Wilson Co., TN in 1818, and to Illinois in 1851, where they lived the rest of their lives. They belonged to the Baptist Church. Their last 7 children were born in Tenn.

The 1850 census for Wilson Co., TN lists: Lewis Graves, 61, b. SC, Rebecca, 60, b. SC, Genetta, 30, b. NC, Nancy, 25, b. TN, Lewis, 24, b. TN, Minerva, 22, b. TN, Andrew, 20, b. TN. The other children had probably left home. Also, although some printed compilations show NC for the birthplace of both Lewis and Rebecca, the original census schedules clearly have SC.

He secondly married Malinda (or Melinda) Grimes of Ky. on 3 Oct. 1822 in Fayette Co., Ky. She was born 20 Dec. 1802, possibly in Fayette Co., Ky., died 9 Feb. 1867 in Lee Co., Miss., and was also buried in Center Hill Cem., Lee Co. Melinda was a daughter of James Grimes and wife Sarah Bryan, granddaughter of Philip Grimes and wife Mary ------, and of William Bryan and wife Mary Boone (sister of Daniel Boone).

They moved to Lawrence Co., Ala. (near Courland) about 1823, and remained there until 1857, when they moved to Itawamba Co., Miss. (a part that is now in Lee Co., Miss.). They transferred from Liberty Baptist Church, Lawrence Co., Ala. to Center Hill Baptist Church, Itawamba Co., now Lee Co., Miss. in Feb. 1858

According to descendant Thomas Wayne Whitehead, all living descendants of John Graves Partlow and Melinda Grimes are descended from Albert M. Partlow and Dorotha Ann Ruff, although this statement probably just refers to descendants named Partlow.

All their children were born in Lawrence Co., Ala. (R-81)

CHILDREN OF JOHN HERNDON GRAVES (713) AND NANCY SLADE

Catherine ("Katie") Graves (1859) was born 23 Feb. 1773 in Caswell Co., N.C., and died 12 Jan. 1860 in Owensboro, Daviess Co., Ky. She married Groves Howard, son of Francis Howard and Ann Allen, on 12 (or 2) Feb. 1792 in Caswell Co., N.C. He was born 25 April 1769 in N.C., and died 25 Nov. 1848 in Confederate, Ky.

They lived in Caswell Co., N.C. until about 1816, when they moved to Caldwell (now Lyon) Co., Ky., where he died and was buried on his farm (the Rufus Barnett farm, 1/4 mile from Confederate, Ky.).

Catherine Graves is credited with bringing the Baptist doctrine into the Howard family, which had been Episcopalian in earlier generations. Several of Catherine's brothers were Baptist ministers. Her eldest son, whom she named John Graves for her father, was also a Baptist minister of prominence in Kentucky.

After living in Kentucky for some years, Catherine and Groves Howard returned to N.C. for a visit with relatives. The trip was made on horseback, a distance of five or six hundred miles.

After the death of Groves Howard, Catherine went to live with their eldest son, Rev. John Graves Howard, of Daviess Co., Ky., near Owensboro. She died there, and was buried in the Elmwood Cemetery at Owensboro.

Based on a gift of property to Groves Howard and others (discussed in "Descendants of Capt. Thomas Graves" in the Graves Family Newsletter), it is possible that Catherine Graves is the daughter of John Williams Graves of Granville Co. This confusion needs to be resolved. (R-51, R-113)

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (730) AND MARGARET CLOUD

Harvey (or Henry) Cloud Graves (1986) was born 17 (or 19) Feb. 1804 in Fayette Co., Ky., and died 14 Aug. 1885 in Georgetown, Scott Co., Ky. He first married Lucinda Garth of Scott Co., Ky. in 1829. She died after the birth of their first child. He secondly married Martha Rebecca (or Rachel) Crockett, daughter of Newbold Crockett and Rachel Nutter (or Nulter), on 7 March 1837 in Georgetown, Ky. She was born in 1821 in Fayette Co., and died in 1907 in Georgetown. They were both buried in Georgetown Cem. She continued to live at Georgetown after her husband's death. All their children were born in Georgetown, Ky., and they all died there except for Margaret who died in Lexington, Fayette Co., Ky.

The following newspaper article about Harvey C. Graves' house appeared in The Lexington Leader, date unknown.

Georgetown College Chief's Home Was Antique Shop, Owned By Elks

Harvey C. Graves, who built the house now occupied by Georgetown College President and Mrs. Robert Mills, was "one of the most active and valuable men in his community", according to the Biographical Encyclopedia of 1879. "Few matters of interest in his county have not felt his interest," the volume continues.

The East Main Street house which Graves built for his family was one of the Georgetown homes visited by the Kentucky Heritage Commission tour last weekend.

The classical house with its chaste lines remained the home of the Graves family for 47 years. During the present century it belonged in the family of Linnie Hall Anderson and her daughter Mary Anderson Smith for 42 years.

It was owned by the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks for four years, D. B. Knox for five years, and the home of Georgetown College's president for the past five years.

Harvey C. Graves was one of Scott County's wealthiest citizens. Nevertheless, the Biographical Encyclopedia records that he was "a man of great simplicity of character, making no display of himself..."

Graves, for many years the largest hemp grower in this part of the country, "made the world better for his having lived in it," according to the book.

One of Graves' first civic projects was to help establish Georgetown College. He made one of the initial donations and was a trustee for several years.

A founder of Farmers' Bank, Graves was a member of its board of directors until his death. When Warrendale Female Seminary was founded in 1847, he was a member of its board.

Graves was a benevolent Yankee and stood by the Union when the prevailing mood in Georgetown was that of the Confederacy. But when the war was over, his generosity toward impoverished Confederates became almost legendary. He came to the aid of Alexander Keene Richards, famous horse breeder, when Richards went bankrupt during the Civil War because of his contributions to the Confederacy.

Graves was born in 1804, fourth of the seven children of John Graves, a youthful pioneer of Fayette Co. whose recollections form a significant section of the Draper Manuscripts.

In 1829, the year of Georgetown College's establishment, Graves married Lucinda Garth, daughter of John Garth. After her death, he married Martha R. Crockett. They had two daughters, Elenora, who married James H. Kenney, and Isadora, wife of John W. Berkley.

In 1859 Graves purchased two Main Street lots, one from the city board of education for $865 and the other from neighbor Paul Rankins for $1,000.

He deeded an interest in 1883 to his daughter Isadora, after which her interest was deeded to her mother, Martha Graves. The Berkleys received title again and held it until J. W. Berkley's death in 1907. At that time D. B. Knox bought it for $5,500. (R-53, R-515)

CHILDREN OF SARAH GRAVES (749) AND THOMAS EAST

Joseph East (2031) was born 5 Jan. 1794 in Henry Co., Va., and died 12 Nov. 1868, probably in the Savannah, Tenn. area, since their family and nephews and nieces were also in the area. He was probably the first of the Easts to move to the Giles Co. area of Tenn. There is a Maury Co. court record showing a Joseph East there on 7 May 1815. (Maury Co. is just north of Giles Co.)

Joseph married Mildred Payne, sister of Elizabeth Payne who married Joseph's brother John, on 19 Nov. 1816. Mildred was born 26 Dec. 1794 in Va., and died 5 April 1866, probably in the Savannah, Tenn. area. They were both buried in the Savannah Cem. After the death of John and Elizabeth, Joseph and Mildred raised their orphaned children. (R-85)

Maria East (2037) was born 7 Oct. 1803 in Henry Co., Va., and died after 1858. She married an Abernathy, probably in Giles Co., Tenn. There were eighteen Abernathy families in Giles Co. in 1830, so it is difficult to determine which of these provided Maria's husband. She probably had not been married at the time of the 1830 census, since there were two girls of her age living with her folks when the census was taken; the only daughters Thomas East had who were not known to be married and who fit the 20-29 age bracket at the time of the census were Maria and Evelyn. There was a James Abernathy family who lived nearby and who had a son of the right age to have been Marie's husband. Also, the next door neighbor of this James Abernathy family was a Thomas L. Webb family. If the wife in this Webb family was Marie's sister Elizabeth, then it would be a strong lead as to which of the many Abernathy families Marie married into. In any case, Marie lived near Lynnville, Giles Co., Tenn. in the 1850's. (R-85)

 

Thomas Martin East (2039), probably named after his deceased brother Thomas Massey East, was born 15 June 1810 in Henry Co., Va., and died after 1850. He married Sarah Jane Alderson on 8 Oct. 1829 in Maury Co., Tenn. Mr. J. H. Walker was the bondsman. The National Banner newspaper of 17 Oct. 1829 noted this marriage and referred to Thomas as "Capt. Thomas East." Sarah was born about 1812 in Tenn. They lived in Wayneboro, Tenn. after their marriage until sometime in the 1840's, when they moved to the Memphis area. He was a justice of the peace from 1833 until 1836 (there was a J. J. Alderson, a minister or justice of the peace in 1823 in Maury Co.), according to Columbia, Tenn. newspapers of that time. He was also appointed Post Master at Waynesboro in place of James C. Alderson who had resigned in April 1836. By the time Sarah and Thomas moved to Memphis, he was a bookkeeper. (R-85)

Barzley Graves East (2040) was born 15 Dec. 1812 in Henry Co., Va. He moved to Tenn. with his family when just in his teens, and grew up in Giles Co. He died 29 Sept. 1889 at his home in Stantonville, McNairy Co., Tenn., probably of a series of strokes. He was well respected by his family, "and was a noble Christian gentlemen, beloved by all who knew him."

He first married Nancy Jones on 22 Feb. 1833, probably in Giles Co., Tenn. She was born in 1811 in Tenn., and died in the early 1860's, probably in McNairy Co. where she and Barzley had lived for 15 to 20 years.

Barzley secondly married Elizabeth Frances Tanner sometime before 1863. She was born 18 Feb. 1835 near Robertson's Fort in mid-Tenn. Barzley was a farmer all his life. He had at least 14 children. (R-85)

I desire that such part of my perishable estate as may be necessary be immediately sold after my decease and out of the monies arising therefrom, all my just debts be paid. Should the perishable part of my estate prove insufficient for the above purposes, then I desire that my executrix, hereafter named, may hire out the negroes now belonging to the estate to pay and satisfy such of my just debts as may remain unpaid out of the sales of my perishable estate.

After the payment of my debts and funeral expenses, I give and bequeath to my wife Cynthia during the term of her natural life all my estate both real and personal with full approval to sell and convey the same in such parts and portions as she may expedient with the exception of the negroes belonging to the estate and after her decease the property there to be divided in manner following to wit:

To my six children by my wife Cynthia, namely Thomas (R)(B), Drusilla Jane, William Goggins, Richard Benjamin, David Rice, Juliett Catherine. All the estate real and personal (with the exception of the negroes) to be divided equally between them, the negroes to be sold and out of the monies arising therefrom, each of the six children above named to receive from the proceeds the sum of one hundred dollars the balance then to be divided equally between the six before mentioned children and my daughter, Elizabeth Ellis Boyd, now residing in Kentucky. The above property is given to my wife Cynthia for the purpose of raising and educating my six young children.

Step having my daughter Polly Ann received her portion is therefore not named among the rest of my heirs in this my last will.

And lastly, I do hereby constitute and appoint my beloved wife Cynthia sole Executrix of this my last will and testament. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal this fifth day of September, of the year of our Lord, Eighteen Hundred and Thirty-Six.

CHILDREN OF BENJAMIN GRAVES (764) AND SALLIE COLE

Richard C. (Cole?) Graves (2089) was born 7 Dec. 1785 in what is now Woodford Co. (but was Fayette Co. until 1788), Ky., and died 11 May 1860 in Monroe Precinct, Cass Co., Ill. He married Nancy Ann Martin, daughter of Samuel Martin, on 16 March 1818 in Woodford Co., Ky. She was born 1 Jan. 1797 in Woodford Co., Ky., and died 14 May 1870 in Cass Co., Ill.

Federal military pension records for Richard C. Graves indicate that in 1813 he enlisted at Versailles, Ky., and served in Capt. Joel Henry's Co. of the Kentucky Militia commanded by Col. William Dudley. In July (?) of 1813, he received permission while in Ohio to return home because of sickness. Dudley was killed and his troops routed at the battle near Fort Meigs (which is now Maumee, Ohio) on 5 May 1813. Richard is not listed as one of the soldiers captured and he wasn't killed, so his role in the battle is not detailed. In 1850 and again in 1855, Richard, now in Cass Co., Ill., applied for bounty lands. The affidavits were signed by Richard with an "x".

Their first 3 children were born in Ky., and the last 2 in Monroe Precinct, Cass Co., Ill. (R-105)

He was a Member of Congress from Henry Co., Ky. in 1834 and from Louisville, Ky. in 1843. He killed Congressman Cilley from Maine in a duel in 1838. A fair and exonerating account of the duel is given by Hon. John Quincy Adams in the published proceedings of the Mass. Historical Society about vol. 8 or 9 of the 7th series. He was a candidate for Governor of Ky. in 1848.

From Who Was Who in America, Historical Volume, 1607-1896, Revised Edition, 1967, Marquis Who's Who, Inc., Chicago, Ill., comes the following information: "Congressman; studied law. Admitted to bar, practiced law; member of Kentucky House of Representatives, 1834, 1843; member U.S. House of Representatives (Whig) from Ky., 24-26th congresses, 1835-41; killed Jonathan Cilley in duel on Marlboro Rd., Md., 1838; Whig presidential elector, 1844.

CHILDREN OF EDMUND GRAVES (773)

John William Graves (2113) was born in 1783 (or 1790) in Surry Co., N.C., and died in 1883 (or 1885 or 1887) at the home of his son, David, in Jacksonville, Ky. John lived in Shelby Co., Ky. from 1785 on. From Shelby Co. grantor deeds there are many records of John selling property on Guist, Long Run, and Bullskin Creeks.

John married Jane Chapman, daughter of Amos Chapman (listed in the 1810 census of Shelby Co., Ky. as over 45), on 9 or 14 March 1809. She was born 6 Feb. 1789, died 6 April 1864, and was buried at the Duncan Cem. on a farm near Jacksonville, Ky. In the same cemetery are Maria and Josephine (or Josephone) Graves, twins, born 13 Feb. 1858 and died 1859 and 1858 respectively. They were the children of Thomas Logan Graves. It is possible that John married a second time after Jane's death, since some of his descendants believe his wife was Susan.

John and Jane had at least 9 children, 7 sons and 2 daughters. In the 1830 census the children are listed as: males, 1(under 5), 1(5-10), 2(10-15), 2(15-20); females, 1(under 5), 1(5-10). The 1840 census lists 4 boys and 2 girls at home: males, 1(5-10), 1(10-15), 1(15-20), 1(20-30); 4 people are listed in agriculture.

In 1850, the census taker listed initials only: John, 67; J. (Jane), 62, b. in Pa.; males: D., 26; W., 23, J., 18; females: M., 20; two farmers with the last name of Hayden, and a T. Graves, 26.

In 1840, Fleming R. was living close to John, and in 1850 two of John's children (Horace and James) were with Fleming. (R-70, R-73)

CHILDREN OF LEWIS GRAVES (810) AND ANN WORTHEN

Davenport Graves (2166) was born in 1786 in North Carolina, probably in Anson Co., and died in 1862, probably in Calhoun Co., Ark. He may have been buried in Friendship Cemetery. He married Nancy McElroy, daughter of Isaac McElroy and Sarah ------, on 13 March 1813 in Jasper Co., Ga. She was born 1790-1800, and died in 1840 in Dallas Co., Ark. They had 9 children, 4 boys and 5 girls. His will, filed 11 Feb. 1853 in Calhoun Co., Ark. and recorded in Probate Records Book A, page 48, names all of his children, names John D. Graves as executor, and leaves the bulk of the estate to his sons John D. and William R. Graves. It gives Davenport's residence as Franklin Township, Calhoun Co., Ark. In the 1860 census of Franklin Township, Union Co., Ark., Davenport is shown, age 74, living in the household of B. M. Davis and his daughter Amy.

Davenport and Nancy apparently lived in Jasper Co., Ga. from the time they were married in 1813 until 1817-1819, when they apparently moved to Dallas Co., Ala. Davenport moved to Arkansas in 1843, after the death of his wife, perhaps to be near his children.

Georgia Military Record Book, 1779-1839 in Georgia Dept. of Archives and History lists "Devenport Graves" as a private on the "muster roll of a detachment of cavalry under the command of Captain John W. Compton of Jasper Co. in the service of the State of Georgia, ordered out on the frontier of said county in pursuance of orders from Lieut. Col. Becney Franklin by orders received from his Excellency Peter Early, Commander-in-Chief." The period of service was Nov. 8, 1813 to Nov. 11, 1813. Also on this muster roll was William Graves, private. Davenport Graves was listed as a 1st Sgt. in this same reference from Dec. 4, 1813 to Dec. 22, 1813. He acknowledged pay in full "for services in an expedition conducted by Major General David Adams as Lieut. Col. against the Oakfuskee or Upper Waring Creek Indian towns in pursuance of general orders dated the 18th of November 1813 as per muster roll of Captain Francis S. Martin." Also on this list were Minton Graves and William Graves, privates. (R-25, R-26)

Will of Davenport Graves:

Know all men by these presents that I, Davenporte Graves, of Franklin Township in the county of Calhoun in the State of Arkansas, being of reasonably good health and of sound and disposing mind and memory, do make and publish this my last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me at any time heretofore made. First, I hereby constitute and appoint my son John D. Graves to be sole executor of this my last will, directing my said executor to pay all my just debts and funeral expenses and the legacies hereinafter given out of my estate.

Second, after the payment of any said debts and funeral expenses, I give to my son Benjamin F. Graves, Permelia Ann Weisinger my daughter, Eliza Weisinger my daughter, Wiley M. Graves my son, Amy Davis my daughter, Malinda Good my daughter, and Mary Dunn my daughter, each of them the sum of five dollars to be paid to each of them so soon after my death as can conveniently be done within one year.

Third, the balance of my estate, both personal property and landed estate, I give and bequeath to my two sons John D. Graves and William R. Graves to be equally divided between them, after paying out the amounts above mentioned. I declare this to be my last will and testament. In testimony whereof I have this day hereunto set my hand and seal at Hampton in the County of Calhoun and State of Arkansas this February the 11th A.D. 1853.

Signed and sealed: Davenporte Graves

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (811)

Mary Jane Graves (2173), called Jane, was born about 1787 (or 1783) in S.C., and died 11 Nov. 1865 in Cusseta, Ga. A Bible was in the possession of Georgia Melton Howard, a granddaughter of Jane, in which her mother Mary Ann Bagley had listed her mother as Mary Jane Graves. According to Varney Graves, none of the other Bagley descendants had any evidence that her full name was Mary Jane, apparently because Mary Ann Bagley kept better records than the others.

Jane married Moor Bagley, son of Robert and Mary Bagley, on 1 Nov. 1810 in Randolph Co. (later Jasper Co.), Ga. (Married by Isaac McClendon, J.I.C., recorded in book 1808-1820, p. 23.) He was born 9 June 1783 in Va., and died 7 Dec. 1872 in Cusseta, Chattahoochee Co., Ga. After Jane died, he married Mrs. Mary Williams (born 3 Jan. 1869). The History of Chattahoochee County, Georgia by N. K. Roger and The Folks From Pea Ridge by Wyley Donald Ward (p. 101) both contain information about this family. Moor Bagley is said to have been the first white man to have come through King's Gap on the Indian trail above Hamilton, Ga. He is said to have had at least 10 children -- 4 sons and 6 daughters. (R-29, R-31, R-32, R-33)

He was born 14 Sept. 1799 in Oglethorpe Co., Ga., and died 6 Feb. 1868. They were both buried at Collier's Cem., one half mile north of Flat Creek Church, six miles west of Fayetteville, Ga. He moved from Jasper Co. to Fayette Co., Ga. about 1820. He settled near Bennetts Mill and was the first miller there, about 1825-1839. All their children were born in Fayette Co., Ga. (R-29, R-34, R-519)

James Graves (2178) was born about 1808 (or 1800, according to Joel Dixon Wells), and died 3 March 1880 in Fayetteville, Fayette Co., Ga. He married Mary ("Polly") Smith on 17 May 1832 in Fayette Co., Ga. (marriage book B, p. 10). She was born 19 Aug. 1808, and died 9 Jan. 1896 in Fayetteville, Ga. They were both buried in Fayetteville City Cem. Regarding the birth date of James, the 1870 census indicates 1800, but the other censuses show 1806 or 1808. Varney Graves said his father said that James died in his early 70's, which would support the 1808 birth date. However, according to Joel Dixon Wells, the grave marker of James shows 1800 as the birth date. (R-29, R-34)

Elizabeth ("Betsy") Graves (2179) was born 1810. She married Stephen D. Lyle on 8 Nov. 1829 in Fayette Co., Ga. (book A, p. 97). They apparently had one son, Stephen Lyle, who was living with his aunt, Mrs. James W. Padgett (born Susan Lyle), in the 1850 census. After her husband Stephen died, Betsy married Jesse Ward on 31 Oct. 1841 in Fayette Co. (book B, p. 197). He was born in 1795 in N.C. He had married before, but no record of his first wife and their children is known. It was on their plantation near Mundy's Mill that her father John Graves, his wife, and 20 or 30 of the Ward family were buried. (R-29)

Children - Lyle

Charles ("Cudy") Graves (2180) was probably born between 1811 and 1815 in Ga. (although the 1850 census indicates 1815, Varney Graves believes 1811 or 1812 is most likely), and died between 1852 and 1860, probably 1853, in Fayette Co., Ga. His will is recorded in Will Book A, p. 11, Fayette Co. He married Elizabeth Cleckler (or Clacker or Clecker) on 25 Nov. 1830 in Fayette Co., Ga. (marriage book A, p. 132). She was born about 1812 (according to Varney Graves). According to Judy Filingeri, she was born 1825 in S.C. (based on the 1850 census), although this seems unlikely. There is no evidence of an earlier marriage for Charles, and 1825 would have been too late a birth date for Elizabeth to have had a child born 1833. Also, the 1870 census of Fayette Co. indicates 1810 for her birth. Elizabeth was a sister of Susan Cleckler who married Charles's brother John. All their children were born in Ga. (R-29, R-34, R-35)

CHILDREN OF RICHARD GRAVES (812)

Lewis Graves (2182) was born in N.C., probably in Anson Co., probably about 1798 (based on census records). He died 10 Dec. 1836 in Henry Co., Tenn., according to a death bed document signed by Austin Smith and his wife Rebecca, stating they were with Lewis when he died on 10 Dec. 1836. This document does not mention any names of his family. Lewis last appeared on the tax roll of Henry Co. in 1835, and his wife Miriam was appointed executor of his estate in 1838 (Henry Co. Will Book E, p. 28). Lewis Graves married Miriam Lewis, daughter of Thomas Lewis. (See will of Thomas Lewis, Anson Co. Will Book B, p. 61, probated April 1836. This will also names a daughter of Thomas Lewis, Nancy Graves.) Miriam was born 17 June 1801 in S.C., died 10 Jan. 1862 in Collin Co., Texas, and was buried in Thompson Cem., Collin Co., Texas. It is believed that Lewis and his family lived in Hardeman Co., Tenn.

Tax roll of Henry Co., Tenn.:

1827, Lewis Graves, 80 acres, 1 poll, 2 slaves

1828, Lewis Graves, 60 acres

According to the 1850 census for Henry Co., Tenn.: Miriam Graves, 52 (b.c. 1798-99, not 1801), N.C. (not S.C.), parents b. N.C.; Miles, 26; Jane, 21; Lewis, 20; Wiley, 18; John, 16; Rebecca, 15. The 1860 census for Collin Co., Texas, P.O. Millwood (July 31) lists: Miriam, 61 (b.c. 1799); Willie M., 28; Lewis, 30.

From an article on page 6, Carolinas Genealogical Society Bulletin, Monroe, NC, vol. 31, no. 1, titled: Thomas Lewis, Veteran:

On Oct. 6, 1832, when he signed his application for pension on his service in the American Revolution, Thomas Lewis (father of Miriam Lewis) of Anson Co., NC was said to be very "infirm." (File No. S7139) He was 80 years old on Sept. 29, 1832, according to a Bible Register, and at the time of his service he was living in Wilkes Co., NC, near the head of Yadkin River.

According to his application, he was a Minute Man who "served at every call" against the British Tories and Indians. He did not march with Col. Campbell against Ferguson at Kings Mountain, as he had just returned from a tour of duty. The 700 British and Tory prisoners taken at Kings Mountain were brought to Wilkes Co., where the Americans who had not fought there became their guards. In November, as a guard, Lewis marched with those prisoners about 90 miles to Moravian Town, now Winston-Salem. They crossed the Yadkin River, three feet deep in some places, carrying their guns and knapsacks. The guards remained in Moravian Town some time with the prisoners, until they were marched to Hillsboro.

Lewis was then stationed as a guard at the Trading Fork on the Yadkin River. There were so many Tories in the county and the adjoining counties that it was a "distressing time," and he cannot remember how many times he was called out.

The last year of the War, Lewis moved to Anson Co. and was there called out to go against the Tories at Drowning Creek, about 60 miles away. After two-days' march his troops were told they would not be wanted. He never received any pay for his service nor any discharge, as it was not customary in the back country.

The applicant's veracity was attested to by Rilah (?) Smith, Aaron Copeland, Joel Gulledge, as well as Reuben Phillips and James Gordon, J.P.'s, and he received $78.30 in arrears payment and a semi-annual allowance of $13.05 to be paid.

The Last Will of Thomas Lewis (29 Sept. 1752 - 12 Jan. 1836) is recorded in Anson Co., NC, and names his wife, Susan. His children were:

Thomas J. Lewis

Daniel Lewis who was in Stewart Co., TN, 1837

Nancy, born 1785, m(1) ------ Graves, m(2) ?

Wiley may have waited until both his mother and brother died to marry.

CHILDREN OF RICE GRAVES (828) AND CANDICE ------

William Harrison Graves (2204), called Harrison, was born 18 Jan. 1819 in Jackson Co., TN, and died 17 July 1874 in the Prattsville-Sheridan area of Grant Co., AR. He married Amelia (or Permelia, called "Millie" of "Milly") Cunningham, daughter of Samuel and Margaret Cunningham, on 24 May 1845 in Saline Co., AR. She was born 9 Nov. 1829 in Jackson Co., TN, and died 24 June 1900. They and all their children were buried in the Graves Cem., Grant Co., AR. Census records and the Graves Cem. inscriptions show that they had 5 known children. All their children were born in AR.

The Graves family was listed in Sulphur Springs Twp., Montgomery Co., AR in the 1850 census, and in South Fork Twp., Montgomery Co., AR in the 1860 census. Land records show Wm. H. Graves entered land May 1, 1856 in the NW SE part of Section 15 T2S R24W 40 acres. Samuel Cunningham had entered land 11-1-1848 SE NE S15 T2S R24W 40 ac. & also 10-10-1856 SW SW S14 T2S R24W. The McKinney Cemetery, where Samuel and his daughter Cynthia Cunningham and her family is buried, is on the homestead, NE 1/4 of S15, on the north bank of Lake Ouachita. William H. and Amelia sold 240 acres, all in S15 T2S R15W, to David Mayberry for $4000 on 26 Dec. 1863.

The Graves family moved to Grant Co. between the 1860 and 1870 census (Grant Co. was formed from Jefferson, Saline and Hot Springs counties in 1869). The 1870 census shows them living in Davis Twp. Amelia was living with her son Thomas and his family in the 1880 census for Merry Greene Twp., Grant Co., AR. Amelia indicated in the 1880 census that her father was born in VA and her mother in SC. Land entry records show William H. Graves, homestead original, NW NW S36 T4S R14W, 40 ac., recorded 4-14-1906; the Grant Co. deed rrecords show that Thomas Graves claimed this land as sole heir of William H. Graves.

Amelia Graves, 48, of Merry Greene Twp., secondly married Asa Baucurn (?), 74, of Franklin Twp., Grant Co., AR, on 10 Dec. 1882. (Much of the information on this family was gathered by Harold Dean Davis or Benton, AR, as part of a family history book, The Samuel & Margaret Cunningham Family, and was sent by R-213.)

CHILDREN OF JOHN ODELL, JR. (887) AND REBECCA HENDRICKS

William Odell (2288) was born about 1804 in S.C. He was probably named for his grandfather, William Hendricks. He was listed in the 1850 census for Newberry Co., S.C., apparently a widower. His first wife was Nancy Huffis. Sometime shortly after the taking of the 1850 census, he probably married Sarah Ann (Phillips) Cooper, as she is known to have married as her second husband a William Odell.

Sarah Ann Phillips was born 26 Feb. 1823 in Union Co., S.C. She was a daughter of Joseph Phillips (1790-1859) and Elizabeth Pressley (c.1797-c.1829), both born in S.C. Sarah's father was in the War of 1812, and at the time he moved from S.C. to Ala., in 1854, he was one of the wealthiest men in Calhoun Co., Ala. He was buried at Union Methodist Church Cem., near Wellington, in Calhoun (Benton) Co., Ala.

Sarah first married John C. ("Jack") Cooper, son of Stacy Cooper, about 1840-41. He was born about 1818, died 16 Aug. 1848, and was also from S.C. They had the following children: Ophelia, b. 1843; Stacy, b. 1845; and Joseph Phillips, b. 1847.

William Odell was dead by Dec. 11, 1865, leaving Sarah as a widow. He could have died before 1860 because Sarah Ann Odell was listed as head of the household in the 1860 Calhoun Co., Ala. census. She was in Ala. because her father and his family had moved there.

In 1870, Sarah and her sons, John, William and Gustavas, were in Chesterfield District, Lee Co., Miss. In 1875, Sarah went to Texas with her sons William and Gustavas. They were enumerated in the 1880 census of Ellis Co., Texas. In 1881, William and his mother moved to Hubbard, Hill Co., Texas.

Sarah died 6 March 1882, and was buried in Pin Oak Cem., Hubbard, Texas. (R-121)

There is confusion about this family, since the parents of Daisy Graves are said to have been Joel Graves and Margaret Allen. David did have a brother, Thomas J. Graves, and perhaps this was Joel. However, the other children listed below are supposedly brothers and sisters of Daisy. One possibility is that Cora, Tom, Daisy, and the other daughter were children of Thomas Joel Graves, and Bibb Graves was a first cousin rather than a brother of the others.

Joel Graves is said to have been a hard-line Irish Catholic who ran his family with an iron fist. As soon as some of his children married out of the Catholic faith, he disowned them. (R-123, R-132, R-264)

Susan ("Sue") Belle Graves (2737) was born 24 Feb. 1875 in Montgomery Co., Mo., and died 8 April 1876 in Houston, Texas, at age 101. Her Crockett and Graves ancestors both moved to Missouri from Virginia in the early 1800's. Her grandfather Crockett, a Cumberland Presbyterian minister and a physician, was a descendant of Col. Hugh Crockett, a soldier in the American Revolution. Col. David ("Davy") Crockett, frontiersman and Alamo hero, was a cousin.

Sue moved to Marble Hill, Bollinger Co., Mo., with her family, and lived there from about 1882 to 1900 with her parents. She attended Mayfield-Smith Academy in Marble Hill, where Rev. David W. Graves was an administrator and teacher. She graduated as president of her class in 1897 from Hardin College, Mexico, Mo., and later participated in its "Hardin Spirit" alumnae group. She taught school in Oklahoma where she lived with her sister, Mildred, wife of John Reck, a native of Bollinger Co., Mo.

She married Fred Thomson Couper on 23 May 1906 (?) in Montgomery City, Mo. He was born in 1874 in Brechin, Scotland, migrated to Oregon about 1891, and died in 1955 in Wichita Falls, Texas.

Fred was engaged in the mortgage loan business until his death. Sue was a member of First Presbyterian Church of Wichita Falls, and was an early member of Colonial Dames of America, DAR, New Century Study Club, and the Women's Golf Assoc. of Wichita Falls Country Club. She compiled a genealogy of the Graves and Crockett families and always thought fondly of Southeast Missouri, and especially Bollinger County, as her "beautiful childhood home".

A newspaper obituary for Thomas follows. "Hon. Thomas J. Graves, former representative of Page county in the House of Delegates, died at his home near Marksville at nine o'clock yesterday morning after a long period of ill health, aged 79 years, 11 months and 12 days. In his later life he suffered a great deal at intervals with asthma and about a year ago suffered a partial stroke of paralysis. He was able to go about the house until Tuesday before his death. He passed away quietly sitting in his chair. His decease was unexpected, few knowing that his condition was critical.

'Squire' Graves as he was usually known, was a son of Paschal Graves, deceased, of Marksville this county. The surviving members of this family, originally twelve in number, are Isaac N. and Charles E. Graves, Mrs. Eliza J. Koontz, widow of James W. Koontz, and Mrs. John P. Beaver of Marksville and Mrs. Sarah E. Wilhoite of Greene Co. Squire Graves was twice married, his first wife having been Miss Elizabeth Reid, a sister of Supervisor I. H. Reid, deceased. His second wife, who died about three years ago, was Miss Elizabeth Keyser, a sister of Mrs. Isaac Graves. He leaves two children, Mrs. Ella Long, widow of James H. Long of near Marksville, and John H. Graves, rural carrier at Stanley who resided with him.

Mr. Graves served his country in the Legislature for several years. His record there was that of a conservative, capable representative. His soundness of judgement, wide intelligence and business sagacity were recognized by all who knew him. He was a magistrate and school trustee for many years, and in both capacities was of much service to the people. On account of his legal knowledge, sound common sense and perfect integrity, he was a favorite counsellor in business and legal matters and prepared hundreds of wills, deeds and other instruments. Squire Graves was a well read man and kept abreast of the news and thought of his time, even in his latest years. He was public spirited and always ready to assist in any good cause. He went into the war as an officer of the militia and thus in early life began a career of honorable public service. His political convictions were strong and he was ever ready to take an uncompromising stand for what he thought was sound and right. Kind and hospitable to friends, generous to the church and every good cause, and devoted to his family, he was a man who measured up to the highest standard of citizenship and one who has always exerted a wide influence for good and left his lasting impress on the affairs of his county and the Marksville community where all of his days were spent. In his death the county loses one of its safest, most enlightened and most honorable men -- one whose death is a public bereavement.

The funeral will take place at 11 o'clock Saturday morning. His remains will be interred at Graves Chapel." (R-101)

CHILDREN OF RICHARD PERRIN GRAVES (1479)

Richard Perrin Graves, Jr. (2976) was born 14 Dec. 1848 and died 20 Nov. 1890. He is buried at "Pleasant View"/ "Wilmington" along with his parents and grandparents. He died from a broken neck suffered when he fell down the stairs at "Thornhill." There is a smaller home next to "Wilmington" which later became the Thornhill Post Office, and it is suspected that was his home.

He married Emma Dickinson of Spotsylvania Co., Va.

Following Richard Perrin Graves, Jr.'s death, his widow married Vavisaw Powell and had a son, Russell Powell (according to Richard J. Dickinson, A Dickinson Family, Eureka, IL, 1955). She died in 1936 in Los Angeles.

Richard may have moved to "Mercer Hall", a Dickinson home, after his marriage. "Mercer Hall" is only a few miles from "Pleasant View"/"Wilmington" in Spotsylvania Co., and it has recently been restored. However, it may be that Richard and Emma lived at "Thornhill" until his death, and then she moved to "Mercer Hall", her family home. "Mercer Hall" is where Frank B. Graves was raised. The fact that Richard Perrin Graves, Jr. predeceased his father by 3-1/2 years helps explain why "Wilmington" passed from the Graves family. (R-52)
