DESCENDANTS OF CAMPBELL
GRAVES OF VA AND GILES CO., TN
GENERATION 1
Campbell Graves (1) was born about
1801 in VA, and died about 30 July 1865 in Limestone Co., AL. He was not listed in the 1820 or 1860 censuses,
but he was in the 1830, 1840, and 1850 censuses for Giles Co., TN. He was in the 1860 census for Limestone Co.,
AL. It is suspected that Campbell
Graves and John Mims Graves are related, perhaps brothers, but no proof has
been found (see genealogy 82). The
facts that John Mims Graves' mother was a Campbell, Ann Campbell's grandmother
was a Crockett, and Campbell Graves had a son named Crockett all give support
to the idea of Campbell and John Mims Graves being brothers. It is likely that Campbell Graves was a son
of John Graves and Ann Campbell (gen. 82).
The 1850 census showed Campbell
Graves born about 1801 in VA. There was
no wife at this time, but children John (#6) through Edwin A. (#12) were listed
as still at home. Based on this information,
it appears his wife died between 1846 and 1850. All his children were born in Giles Co., TN.
The name of his first wife is
unknown. He married second Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born about 1811 in TN, and died
after 1860.
It seems likely that Campbell Graves
was descended from Capt. Thomas Graves, 1608 settler in Jamestown, VA, through
the part of that family that moved from VA to Granville Co., NC, some of whom
moved to Giles Co., TN. In addition to
living in the same places, the name Ralph Graves is common in the Granville Co.
line.
According to R‑1, Campbell
was a preacher in Athens, Limestone Co., AL.
He and Mary sold two lots of land to the Central Southern Railroad
Company on 3 June 1859 according to the Giles Co. TN Deed Book Y, p. 576. At the end of the Civil War in July of 1866,
he had a horse stolen by Athens resident, Mr. Moore, and was physically hurt in
trying to get it back. Campbell
reportedly went to “the Yankees” for help in getting his horse back and Mr.
Moore was sent to prison in Nashville for several years. This reportedly angered his neighbors and
Campbell was found dead in the road with two bullet holes in his forehead. (R‑1, R‑4)

GENERATION 2
CHILDREN OF CAMPBELL GRAVES (1)
Martha Graves (2) was born about
1826 in Giles Co., TN. She married
Andrew Nichols, descendant of Samuel Nuckols.
He was born about 1815 in TN, and died after 1850 in Giles Co., TN. Their children were born in Giles Co. (R‑1)
Children - Nichols
15. James Nichols, b. 1835.
16. Sarah Nichols, b. 1837.
17. Nancy Nichols, b. 1844.
Alcy Caroline Graves (4), probably called
Caroline[1],
was born Dec. 1829 in Bethel, Giles Co., TN, and died 28 April 1910 near
Pulaski, Giles Co., TN (or Florence, Lauderdale Co., AL per R‑1). She married Henry M. C. Abernathy, son of
Matthew Abernathy and Elizabeth Jackson Dickson, on 25 Dec. 1852 by C. H.
Lambeth, J.P. in Giles Co., TN. He was
born about 1832 in Athens, Limestone Co., AL, and died before 1900 in Giles
Co., TN. He is listed as Minister of
Gospel in the 1880 Giles Co., TN, census.
Henry M. Abernathy’s ancestry is
traced back to Robert Abernethe, b.c. 1630, probably in Abernethy, near
Stirling at Perth, Scotland. Robert was
transported to the colony of Virginia at Charles City Co. in 1651 by Cromwell
following the rebellion because he was an officer. Regular soldiers were allowed to return to their Scottish homes
after they swore allegiance. Robert
married Sarah (Cubishe) Coppage, daughter of one of the early settlers, around
1657 in VA.
A Florence newspaper article dated
Friday 6 May 1910 submitted by R‑1 reads: “Mrs. A. C. Abernathy, an aged lady of 82, died Thursday
afternoon last week, at the home of her son, John F. Abernathy, in East
Florence. She had been an invalid for
many years. She was the mother of J. F.
and William Abernathy and Mrs. Virgil Pope, all of Florence. The body was taken to Bethel, Tenn., for
interment.”
The 1900 census for Giles Co., TN[2],
lists John F. Abernathy, born Oct. 1868, MS, age 31, (widowed mother) Caroline
(Graves) Abernathy, born Dec. 1829, age 70, born TN (widowed sister) Mattie J.
Pope, born June 1857, age 42, born AL, (uncle) William Graves, born Sept. 1830,
age 69, born TN.
The 1880 census for Giles Co., TN,
lists Henry Abernathy, 49, born AL, Caroline, 49, born TN, Elvis Alamo
Abernathy, gr-son, 4, born AL, Walter Abernathy, gr-son, 3, born AL, Olna
Abernathy, gr-dau, 1, born AL (grandchildren belong to son, Robert C.
Abernathy, widower).
According to R‑1, the estate
settlement of 1870 Limestone Co., AL, proves Campbell’s children’s names and
second wife’s name, Mary. (R‑1, R‑2)

James Anslem Graves (7) was born in
1834 in Giles Co., TN, and died by 1880 in Fayette Co., TN, since his widow was
listed as head of household in the 1880 census for Fayette Co. He married Mary Frances Brown, daughter of
John A. Brown (b. 1802 in VA) and Mary Jane McKay (b. 1807 in TN), about

Waco, TX. There are no birth or death
dates on her gravestone, only her name.
The 1860 census for Southern
Subdivision, Pulaski P.O., Giles Co., TN, listed James A. Graves, age 27,
farmer, with wife Mary F. Graves, age 20 or 24, and sons Henry M., age 1, and
