DESCENDANTS OF WILLIAM GRAVES AND ELIZABETH ------

OF VA, NC, TN & KY

 

 

GENERATION 1

 

William Graves (1) is said to have lived in Caswell Co., NC, and perhaps also in VA, and may have died in 1822 in Allen Co., KY.  He married Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑.  Her name may have been Elizabeth Love.  She was born in SC, and may have died in 1825 in Allen Co., KY.  They moved to TN from NC sometime between 1790 and 1809.

Some of the more unusual names in this part of the family are Pelly (for a boy), Elbridge, Anderson, and Michael (always with the initial J. for the middle name).

Some of the descendants of Capt. Thomas Graves of VA (gen. 169) lived in Caswell Co., NC, and it is possible that this William Graves is descended from that part of the Capt. Thomas Graves family.  It is claimed that William was born about 1751 in Spotsylvania Co., VA, son of Solomon Graves, son of Thomas Graves and Ann Davenport.  However, the William Graves who was a son of that Solomon Graves married Rebecca and then Susanna, not Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑.

It has also been suggested that this William Graves is the same as the one in genealogy 37.  That does not look likely.

There are still many Graves from this family in Sumner Co., TN, and possibly in Indianapolis, IN.  (R‑1, R‑2)

CHILDREN OF WILLIAM GRAVES (1) AND ELIZABETH ------

Jacob Graves (2) was born about 1780 in NC or VA[1], and died 29 Feb. 1840 in Sumner Co., TN.  His estate was settled in 1842 in Sumner Co.  He married Catherine (or Kathleen) (“Caty”) Black[2], daughter of Michael Black, on 17 April 1809[3] in Sumner Co., TN.  She was born about 1784 in NC, and was buried in Graves Cem., Sumner Co., TN.  Caty stated in an application for a land grant for Jacob's service in the War of 1812 that she had 11 or 12 children but couldn't remember which, as she was so old.  Jacob lived in Sumner Co., TN, and owned property adjoining that of his brother William Graves in Sumner Co.  All their children were born in Sumner Co.  (R‑3, R‑6)

William Graves (3) was born 1 Oct. 1784 (or about 1790) in Caswell Co., N.C. (or in Va.), died 27 June 1860 in Sumner Co., Tenn., and was probably buried in Clark-Mandrell Cem.  He was a private in the War of 1812, and fought in the Battle of New Orleans.  He married Catherine ("Caty") Richmond, daughter of George Richmond, on 9 April 1811 in Sumner Co., Tenn.  She was born about 1787 in Caswell Co., N.C., and was also buried in Clark-Mandrell Cem.

Previously included in the list of children of William and Catherine was William D. Graves, b.c. 1827, m. Eliza Roberts.  However, this person, whose full name was William Dennis Graves, was a son of William Graves and Nancy Lawson, from an entirely different family.

It appears that all their children were born in Sumner Co., TN.  (R‑1, R‑2, R‑6)

They were in the 1860 census for Butlersville, Allen Co., KY, dwelling 205, with Frederic, 72, Cristiny, 67, and M.J., 23, and living next to their son William.  They were in the 1870 census for Precinct 2, Allen Co., KY, Butlersville P.O., page 202, dwelling 331, with Frederic, 78, Cristena, 75, Michal J., 34, and Elizabeth Cline, 63.  (R‑6, R‑8)

The 1850 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, dwelling 926, page 193, listed Michael, 40, Rachel, 39, and all 10 of their children.  They were in the 1860 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, Gallatin P.O., page 287, dwelling 1017, with Michael, 52, Rachel, 61, and 7 children.  They were in the 1870 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, Richland Station P.O., page 793, dwelling 203, with Mikel, 50 (apparent error), Rachell, 65, and Levisa, 22.  They were in the 1880 census for District 12, Sumner Co., TN, page 199C, with Michael, 74, Rachel, 82, and no children, living next to children William and Elmina.  He was a farmer, and all their children were born in TN.  (R‑6)

William Graves (10) was born about 1812 in Sumner Co., TN, and died in 1880.  He married Adaline (or Adeline) Brackin, daughter of Wiley Brackin and Levesta Bell, on 11 Jan. 1838 in Sumner Co., TN.  She was born about 1818 in Sumner Co., and died in 1880.  William and Adaline lived on land adjacent to her father, Wiley Brackin, and most of their descendants still live nearby.

They were in the 1850 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, page 193, dwelling 925, with William, 38, Adaline, 32, Calvin, 10, Granville, 8, Mary A., 4, and Lydia, 3.  The 1860 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, Gallatin P.O., page 288, dwelling 1022, listed William, 40, Adaline, 39, Seburn, 19, Granville, 18, Mary A., 14, Liddy, 14, Mary F., 12, Lina, 8, Calvin, 6, Cyrus, 4, Wiseman, 1.  The 1870 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, Richland Station P.O., dwelling 205, page 794, listed William, 60, Adline, 45, Lyddy, 21, Signa, 19, Calvin, 17, S. M. (prob. Syrus/Cyrus M.), 15, M.

Serelda Graves, b.c. 1850, who married Patton Graves (#91), was given as a daughter of William and Adaline by one source.  However, this is not supported by census data, and it is clear that she was a daughter of Allen Graves and Keziah Ann Clark.  (R‑6, R‑7)

Children - Graves

   76.  Seburn Graves, b.c. 1840, never married.

+77.  Granville Graves, b.c. 1842, m. Frances Porter Mayhew.

   80.  Mary F. Graves, b.c. 1848.  She only appeared in the 1860 census; prehaps she died young.

   81.  Lina (or Signa) Graves, b.c. 1850.

+82.  Calvin Graves, b.c. 1850, m. Isabel Turner, d. 20 Nov. 1916.

Alfred Graves (11) was born about 1818 and died in 1895, both in Sumner Co., TN.  He married Malissa (or Melissa) Angeline Troutt, probably called Angeline, on 21 May 1840 in Sumner Co., TN.  She was born 6 July 1823 and died 12 Oct. 1882, both in Sumner Co., TN.  She was a daughter of George Alfred Troutt and Nancy Bell (9 Feb. 1805-28 June 1856), married 23 June 1821.  Squire George Alfred Troutt was born 21 Feb. 1799, died 13 May 1895 (according to family record; gravestone shows 15 April 1895), and had a total of 3 wives and 19 children.  His father was Michael Troutt, born Rockingham Co., Va., died 1849 in Sumner Co., Tenn.  All the children of Alfred and Malissa were born in Sumner Co., TN.

Alfred has been said to have secondly married Julia Ballenger of Springfield, Ill., maybe in 1886.  She was born 9 Oct. 1872 and died 19 Oct. 1954.  This is probably not correct, however.  Note the very great age difference, and that Alfred’s son Doctor apparently married her.  (R‑3, R‑5, R‑6)

Allen Graves (25) was born in Aug. 1823 and died 22 Feb. 1908.  He first married Kissi Anne (or Kissiann) Clark, called Ann in the 1860 census.  She was born 3 July 1824 and died 20 Sept. 1868.  He secondly married Nancy Jane Harper, probably called Jane, on 23 Sept. 1869, solemnized by George Troutt that day, recorded in marriage record book July 1878, p. 49, Sumner Co. Courthouse.

Allen Graves served in Day's Co., Col. McKoin's 55th Tenn. Infantry, CSA.  He deserted 15 Feb. 1862 on the way back from Bowling Green, Ky.  The company was composed of men from Sumner and Macon counties, Tenn., and was reformed into the 44th Consolidated Infantry before fighting at Shilo.

There was a daughter, Lucy S. Graves, b. 5 June 1869, d. 20 May 1873.  this birthdate can't be correct if Kissi Anne died in 1868.  Maybe Lucy S. was the same as Saranda or Sorelda, or maybe Lucy was born in 1868?

They were in the 1860 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, Gallatin P.O., page 282, dwelling 936, living next to his cousin Andrew Graves (#9).  Listed were Allen, 37, Ann, 36, Tabitha, 14, Rachel, 13, Sorilda, 10, Catherine, 7, Emeline, 3, and Martin, 2/12, all born in TN.  He was still living next to Andrew Graves (and also next to his brother Andrew) in the 1870 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, Richland Station P.O., page 793, dwelling 240, with Allen, 47, Jane, 20, Catherine, 16, Milly, 14, Martha (should be Martin), 11, John, 9, Allen, 5.  All their children were born in Sumner Co., TN.  (R‑2, R‑6)

Thomas Graves (27) was born 30 (or 3) Aug. 1830 in Sumner Co., TN, died 3 Sept. 1871, and was buried in New Hope General (?) Baptist Church Cem., West Morland, TN. (?) He married Eliza Tuttle (or Key?) on 19 March 1850 in Sumner Co., TN.  She was born in 1830.  He was a farmer and owned a farm.

Three of the men, George, Wilford, and J. Morgan Graves, who married daughters of Thomas and Eliza, were sons of Alfred Graves (#11).

The family was in the 1860 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, Gallatin P.O., page 275, dwelling 845.  They were in the 1870 census for District 15, Sumner Co., TN, Richland Station P.O., page 784, dwelling 60, with all family members listed except for Catherine.  In 1880, they were in District 12, Sumner Co., TN, page 182B, dwelling 52, family 52, with Louisa (probably should be Eliza) as head of household, and children M. Ellen, 18, Thomas, 12, and Margaret A., 10.  Living in the same house in 1880, as family 53, was her son W. Robert Graves, with wife Cordelia, and children Flora and Charlie.  All family members were born in TN.

It appears that daughter Catherine probably died by 1770.  Also, since son G. G. Graves was in the 1870 census, age 4, but not in any subsequent census, and Thomas Graves was in the 1880 census, age 12, but not the 1870 one, they were almost certainly the same person.  (R‑1, R‑27)

CHILDREN OR FREDERICK GRAVES (4) AND CRISTENA BLACK

Anderson Andrew Graves (33) was born 1822-1823 in Allen Co., KY[8].  He first married Mary A.

William Graves (35) was born in Allen Co., KY.  He first married S. J. ‑‑‑‑‑‑ on 8 April 1852 in Sumner Co., TN.  He married second Nancy Ogles on 8 April 1852 in Sumner Co., TN (either this date or the date of the first marriage is wrong.).  She was born about 1833 and died 1861-1869, both in Allen Co., KY.

It has been claimed that he married third Elizabeth S. Lamb, daughter of ‑‑‑‑‑‑ Lamb and Perlina ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 23 April 1869, and that they had 4 children: Lassie A. Graves, b. April 1870, Martha O. Graves, b.c. 1871, William W. Graves, b.c. 1873, and Robert M. Graves, b.c. 1876.  However, the census record does not support this.  The 1870 census lists William Graves, father of the first child as being age 21, a match with the son of Anderson Andrew Graves, brother of this William.  Also, this William was still married to Nancy in 1880, not to Elizabeth.

The 1860 census for Butlersville, Allen Co., KY, dwelling 205, lists William, 32, Nancy, 23, M.F., 6, and Lucinda, 1.  The 1870 census for District 6, Allen Co., KY, Scottsville P.O., page 256, dwelling 112, lists William, 39, Nancy, 33, Mary F., 16, Henry J., 7, George A. M., 5, Albert F., 2, and Polley S., 7/12.  The 1880 census for District 6, New Roe, Allen Co., KY, page 254C, lists William, 49, wife Nancy, 43, and children George M., 15, Albert F., 13, Pelly S., 11, Martha J., 9, William W., 7, and Robert M., 4.  All the children were born in KY, at least the first 3 in Allen Co., KY.  He was a farmer.  (R‑6)
