SAMUEL GRAVES

1630 Settler of Lynn, Massachusetts

and His Descendants

ANCESTRY OF SAMUEL GRAVES

The parents of Samuel Graves have not yet been found. However, it appears that he was from Norfolk or Lincolnshire, England. DNA analysis of descendants has shown that Samuel Graves was from the same family as Herbert Fletcher Graves of Lincolnshire (genealogy 428). That family lived at Chapel Hill and New York, Lincolnshire, about 8-10 miles northwest of Boston, Lincolnshire.

There has also been speculation that Samuel Graves was from King’s Lynn, Norfolk, based mainly on the supposition that Lynn, MA was named for King’s Lynn by one or more of the early settlers. That connection is now supported by the Graves DNA results. King’s Lynn is about 25 miles southeast of Boston.

GENERATION 1

Samuel Graves (1) was born in England. He came to America about 1630, possibly as part of the Endicott group of 1628 or the Winthrop fleet of 1630. According to one account, he sailed from Southampton, England in the early spring of 1630 to New England.

He took up residence at Lynn, Mass., on the turnpike west of Floating Bridge, and the neighborhood in which he lived was called "Graves End" or "Gravesend" for more than 200 years. It is now known as Glenmere.

The first homestead was taken down in 1648 and the present one (as of 1900) erected, which has been from time to time remodeled, but still retains the appearance of old-time architecture. The house was still occupied by descendants of the original settler, and Mrs. Jane Mansfield, a granddaughter of Rand Graves, celebrated her 99th birthday in the old place on 3 Dec. 1900.

Samuel Graves was a farmer and a man of wealth. In 1635 he gave about 300 pounds for the support of the Colonial Government. He had three sons, all born in England between 1620 and 1630. (R‑201)

GENERATION 2

CHILDREN OF SAMUEL GRAVES (1)

Thomas Graves (2) was born about 1620 in England, and was brought to America by his father in 1630. He married Hannah ‑‑‑‑‑‑, and they continued to live in Lynn, Mass. until his death 24 Jan. 1696/7.

His will dated 22 Jan. 1696/7, and probated 15 Feb. 1696/7, names all his children, and reminds them to "be tender and careful of their aged mother who hath been tender and industrious." He gave his lands to his three sons Samuel, Mark and Thomas, and small legacies in money to his daughters. He made his son Samuel his executor. Inventory of his estate: 125, 15, 00. Thomas gave his lands in Lynn, with houses, to his sons Samuel and Mark, except 3 acres (adjoining land purchased of Joseph Farr) to his son Thomas.

His occupation was that of mariner as well as farmer. He and Mark Graves testified at a session of the Court in 1653 to making several voyages in the boats of the Iron Works at Saugus to Boston, Weymouth, Braintree and Hingham, and in 1658 he testified that his boat carried seven tons of bar iron and delivered it to Mr. Hutchins. The iron works were in operation in 1643, the first in America. (R‑13, R‑201)

Mark Graves (3) was born about 1623 in England, and died about 1708-9 in Lynn, Essex Co., Mass. He was brought to America by his father in 1630. He first married Amy ‑‑‑‑‑‑, probably about 1648, in Andover, Essex Co., Mass. She was born about 1627, and died 20 Feb. 1665 in Andover. He lived in Lynn, Mass. until about 1658, when he moved to Andover. He secondly married Elizabeth Knights, daughter of William and Elizabeth Knights of Lynn, on 14 Nov. 1667 (according to Marriages in Andover, N.E. Hist. and Gen. Register, vol. III, no. 1, p. 66). She was born 1642 and died in 1705. She was the widow of John Farrington, a cooper, and at one time a resident of Marblehead, Mass. Mark Graves lived for a time at Ipswich in 1678, at Andover in 1683, at Manchester in 1686, at Andover again in 1690, and afterwards and until his death at Lynn.

From Ipswich Court Records of 1665, Essex County Quarterly Court Records: "Marke Graves, aged about 45 years, deposed that on 10:6:1665, about an hour before sunset, Hanah Hutchinson came to his house, his daughter only being home, and asked to borrow some strong liquor for the toothache. His daughter did not consent, and said Hanah told her that a cow of her father's was running away from their pasture, and she ran to tell her father who was at a neighbor's house, not far off, leaving said Hanah in the room where there was a bottle of liquor. Deponent found that his cow was in the pasture and the bottle was nearly empty. His wife said there was a quarter of a pint there, etc. Sworn 12:6:1665 before Simon Bradstreete.

Hanah Hutchinson said that the girl told her there was vinegar in the bottle, etc. Also that she would kill the child or herself, etc."

Hanah was severely whipped for lying, cursing and stealing.

From Salem Quarterly Court Records of June 1677: "Mark Graves, aged about fifty-five years, and Elizabeth, his wife, aged about thirty-seven years, deposed that since Hannah, wife of Mr. John Blaine died, said Blaine and six of his children came from Mr. Ralph King's to dwell at the farmhouse where deponents and they lived under one roof. When the children came they were decently clothed, but during the three quarters of a year that they lived there, he did not provide for them and they suffered very much, and had it not been for their friends through pity taking some of them from him and relieving them, they might have perished. They suffered both for food and raiment, and what money Blaine received for wood or timber or for the work of his team was spent in drink, he coming home late at night in a quarrelsome mood and distempered with drink. He had only one cow to provide for the family, etc. Amy, daughter of Mark Graves, aged about seventeen years, deposed the same. Sworn in court."

From Salem Quarterly Court Records of June 1682: "Mathew Farrington, Sr. v. Mark Graves. Verdict for plaintiff. Appealed to the next Court of Assistants. Defendant bound, with Henry Bailey and Phillip Fowler as sureties.

Writ: Matthew Farrington, Sr. v. Mark Graves, living at Mr. Hubard's farm at Ipswich; for not allowing him disbursements upon the tide mill and housing amounting to 20 li., for his part of said mill and housing being so much better at the end of the lease than when he entered upon it; signed by John Fuller, for the court and town of Lynn; and served by Henery Skerry, marshal of Salem, by attachment of a table and great chair of defendant..."

Samuel Graves (6) was born 1 Oct. 1655 in Lynn, Mass., and died Dec. 1723 in Lynn. His will was dated 7 Dec. 1723 and probated 2 Jan. 1723/4. He married Sarah Brewer (or Bruer), daughter of Crispus and Mary Brewer, on 12 March 1678 (or 1677). She was baptized 13 Nov. 1659 at First Church, Boston, and probably died in Dec. 1723. He was a member of Capt. Joseph Gardner's Co. of Salem, Mass. in the Indian Wars of 1675, sometimes called King Philip's War. They lived in Lynn, Mass., where all their children were born.

Elizabeth Graves (11) was born about 1662 in Lynn, Essex Co., Mass. She married Thomas Brewer (or Bruer) on 4 Dec. 1682 in Lynn. Thomas was born about 1657, baptized 13 Nov. 1659, was aged over 14 in 1672, and died by 14 March 1709, perhaps by 10 Dec. 1706.

Thomas was the only son of Crispus Brewer of Boston and Lynn, Mass., born probably in England, about 1625-30, died in Lynn, Essex Co., Mass., between 10 Dec. 1706 and 23 Jan. 1707, intestate. He married, about 1652, Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑, who died in Lynn, 3 May 1693, intestate. Thomas's sister, Sarah, married Samuel Graves, brother of Elizabeth Graves.

Elizabeth was probably the widow Brewer who had a lame boy, 14 March 1708/9 (Lynn Town Records, 2:53). See Essex Antiquarian, 12:45, for more data.

In 1678, Thomas Brewer took the oath of allegiance in Lynn, vide ante. Note that, 14 Dec. 1697, "Voated that Thomas Brewer shall have ten pounds to help pay the doctor for his care"; granted to him six poles of town common to improve, 8 March 1698/99 (Lynn Town Records, 1:53, 60). The files also show that Thomas of Lynn took the oath 26 Feb. 1677, and that he owed Henry Collins 10 days work on the bridge in June 1682 (Essex Files, 6:399; 7:158; 8:364). 8 March 1699/1700, Thomas Brewer was to improve some land that he had worked on the last year (Lynn Town Records, 1:65).

All their children were born in Lynn, Mass. (R‑201, R‑205)

His wife Mary died 3 May 1693 in Lynn. It appears that there is more than one Crispus Brewer, and they have been confused with each other because of similar reported death dates.

56. John Brewer, b. 10 May 1700. Is this the "lame boy" referred to earlier? This may possibly be the John Brewer who married Mary Coats on 15 March 1722/23 in Lynn.

CHILDREN OF MARK GRAVES (3)

Abraham Graves (13) was born about 1649 at Lynn, Mass. He first married Anna Hayward on 28 June 1677 in Concord, Mass. He secondly married Sarah Dunton, daughter of Nathaniel Dunton of Andover, formerly of Reading, Mass., on 12 Sept. 1705. They lived at the south end of Andover, where he died 16 June 1729 at age 80. Sarah, his wife, died 21 June 1750 in Andover in her 91st year. (R‑10, R‑201, R‑206)

Capt. Ebenezer Graves (14) was born about 1651 in Lynn, Mass. He first married Mrs. Elizabeth (Stretton) Hopkins (her name also given as Eliphal Stratton), daughter of William Stretton and Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 21 Aug. 1715 in Boston, Mass. She was born 26 April 1689 in Boston, died 15 April 1717, and was buried at Capps Hill Cem., Boston. He then married Sarah (Barrett) Howell, daughter of Samuel Barrett, on 14 Feb. 1718 in Boston. He died in Ireland in May 1719, while on a voyage. He was a mariner and owned shares of at least two ships. He lived in Boston. After he died, his widow Sarah married William Russell on 2 Oct. 1724.

There is some uncertainty concerning Ebenezer Graves, some of which is discussed in the following two articles from the Boston Transcript.

"Boston Transcript, Jan. 19, 1914.

*3254. 1. Graves, Hibbard. C.H.A., Dec. 29, 1913. Without wishing to be over critical, I think that the style of C.H.A., while entertaining, leaves us often in doubt as to what are put forward as facts and what as surmises merely.

There was an Ebenezer Graves, 'mariner' (captain of the John and William of Boston), who made his will in 1719, and substantially as C.H.A. quotes. He left a bequest of 10 pounds to Mrs., not Miss, Esther Graves, though I agree that this is probably a courtesy title for a spinster. He left also a bequest of 10 pounds to Mrs. Dorothy Heborne; though this may be a form of Hibbard. Yet it is well to quote names from a will as written when offered as evidence. C.H.A. claims that Dorothy Graves, who married John Hibbard in 1708, was a daughter of this Ebenezer Graves above, and claims Ebenezer as a Lynn man, born before 1657, the date when Hannah, daughter of Mark (2) Graves is recorded. Lynn Vital Records, published, show a 'Hester Graves, daughter of Marke', born 10:12:1668. Was it not this Hester Graves that Ebenezer remembered in his will? Lynn records also show the intention of marriage of Elizabeth Graves to Jonathan Hobbs of Ipswich, published March 8, 1700/1. Was it not this Elizabeth Hobbs that Ebenezer remembered in his will? Lynn records also show the intention of marriage of Dorothy Graves of Lynn to John Hebard of Beverly, published May 10, 1714. Were there two Dorothys in the field? Is it not likely that the Hester Graves, Elizabeth Hobbs and Dorothy Heborne of Ebenezer Graves' will were his sisters rather than his daughters?

As to Mrs. Elizabeth Stratton, to whom Ebenezer Graves bequeathed a 'three pint silver tankard', if I but knew her parentage I should rejoice. Her relationship to Ebenezer Graves was that of a much revered motheR‑in-law, it may be presumed. She was the widow of William Stratton, and her gravestone still stands on Copp's Hill beside those of her husband's father and mother. Among other children, William and Elizabeth had a daughter Eliphal Stratton born 1690, married in Boston, May 21, 1708, Samuel Hopkins, and second, on April 21, 1715, Ebenezer Graves. (Lynn records give the intentions of marriage of Ebenezer Graves of Lynn and Mrs. Eliphal Hopkins of Boston, published May 10, 1714.) Eliphal (Stratton) Hopkins Graves died April 15, 1717, aged twenty-seven years. This would seem to offer grounds enough to place Mrs. Elizabeth Stratton as an honored and respected mother-in-law, who, being well-to-do as her known affairs show, was most appropriately remembered by a keepsake.

To go back a little, Sarah, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Manning) Barrat, born in Boston, Jan. 8, 1694/5, married Charles Hamell on June 17, 1714. She married, second, on Feb. 14, 1717/18, Ebenezer Graves. She married, third, on Oct. 2, 1724, William Russell. Samuel Barrett, in his will made in 1733, named all of his eleven children, and among them, his daughter, Sarah Russell. One son, George, was cut off with a cash payment. The other ten inherited the property. Samuel Barratt was the executor of Ebenezer Graves' will. His son John Barrett was made executor of the estate and guardian to Samuel Graves after Samuel Barrett's death. When Samuel Graves reached his majority, he joined with Thornton, Samuel, Edward, John and Susanna Barrett and Mary Coffin, Lydia Lewis and Mercy Skinner in the sale of nine-tenths on their interest in certain property to Isaiah Barrett, also a child of Samuel Barrett Sr. These are the same children named in Samuel Barrett's will, except that Samuel Graves had taken the interest that was his mother Sarah Russell's. Samuel Graves deposed that he was fifteen years old in 1734. He gave his guardian a full acquittance in 1740. This shows that he was born around 1718-19, and son of Sarah Barratt. Boston records give: 'Samuel, son of Ebenezer Graves and Sarah his wife, born Dec. 22, 1718.'

Captain Ebenezer Graves was a Lynn man, of course, but is it reasonable to think that a man born at least as early as 1655 would marry two wives after his sixtieth year, and both young women?

Samuel, son of Ebenezer above, went to Marblehead, where he appears as a merchant and shipbuilder. He probably married there Sept. 6, 1744, Sarah, daughter of John and Sarah Bayley, who was born at Marblehead July 31, 1720. They had a son Ebenezer baptized March 21, 1745; Samuel, baptized March 8, 1747; and Samuel again, born April 17, 1748.

Thomas Graves, brother of Captain Ebenezer, left two sons, John Graves of Dedham and Ebenezer Graves of Marblehead. This last Ebenezer probably married Sarah Lovess of Boston, their intention of marriage being published Oct. 1, 1741. He was deceased in 1744, when his widow, Sarah, sold the Hull Street house to John Graves of Dedham, and in the deed, states that her husband, Ebenezer, and John were the two sons of Thomas Graves. Both Captain Ebenezer and his brother Thomas Graves owned this Hull St. house at different times. Perhaps Ebenezer held a mortgage only, but I think that Philip Howell bought the place of Captain Ebenezer, who owned it in 1715. Philip Howell and wife sold it to Thomas Graves in 1728. Captain Ebenezer had property on Love Street, or Lane Street, and his son, Samuel, sold it about 1744.

In 1776, Ann (3) Stratton, daughter of William and Elizabeth and sister of Eliphal, who married Captain Ebenezer Graves, made her will and, among other bequests, gave a silver tankard, and perhaps the Graves heirloom, inherited from her mother, to her kinsman, Edward Ladd Sanders, a grandson of Bridget Stratton, and who married Eunice Marshall, granddaughter of Ann Stratton. These three, William, Bridget, and Ann, were the children of Bartholomew and Eliphal (Sanford) Stratton, Eliphal being the daughter of Governor John Sanford of Rhode Island.

Nauset.

Boston Transcript, Jan. 28, 1914.

*3254. 1. Graves, Hibbard. 'Nauset', Jan. 19, 1914. 'Nauset' will note that I offered all the papers I had on the subject, and gave it as my opinion only that these women might be the daughters of Ebenezer Graves. If they were his sisters, perhaps the Ebenezer Graves who was husband of Sarah Barrett was a son of the Ebenezer (3), and was left to do some late return to the brothers and sisters of his father. The facts are the quoted deeds and probates referred to; the surmises are all as to the relationship of Ebenezer of the 1719 probate to the parties to whom he left legacies. This has been a puzzle to a lot of us for several years, and it was my idea to lay it before the Transcript experts for their consideration, in such a way as to call attention. Glad you are entertained. So was I when you said you doubted the marriage of the Ebenezer to two young women on account of his age. I do not know myself when Ebenezer was born. So far I have seen no deposition and, as the 1719 man was buried in old Ireland, we are not likely to get his age at death. For all I can see, he may have been married three times. First to the mother of Dorothy, maybe an only child by his first wife, to the Stratton lady in 1708, who may have left a daughter Elizabeth, for all I can see to the contrary, who got a tankard, which was an heirloom in her own mother's family. She and Dorothy may have been his two daughters, already well endowed, Dorothy by her father at the time of her marriage with Hibbard and Elizabeth, already inheriting her mother Stratton's estate, so well provided for. Cannot you find some marriage contract to that effect, made to protect Elizabeth Stratton, a possible child by the second wife, from being obliged to share her material estate with a half sister Dorothy? Samuel also had his Barrett estates from being set off to their need.

Now as to the age of the possible father of Dorothy, she was married to John Hibbard in 1708; he was born 1682 and was alive in Methuen as late as 1750. Elisabeth, the eldest child, born in 1709; Ebenezer, the eldest son in 1710; John, 1716; Joseph, 1726; Daniel, 1728; Ruth, 1730, was called daughter of John Hibbard Jr., and wife Dorcas in baptisms, and in the margin of the records, Dorcas Graves by some hand added; Joseph Hibbard, uncle of John who married Dorothy, had a daughter Dorcas, who married Nathaniel Abbott in Andover, but I do not find any Dorcas, either Graves of Hibberd, early in these lines on the records, nor any John Jr., with a wife Dorcas. John's father married Abigail Graves in 1670, and second, Ruth Wheeler in 1679; third, to a Lydia.

Elisabeth, Ruth, and Martha were sisters of young John, all near his age, but the name of Ebenezer to the eldest son rather favored my theory that Dorothy was a daughter to our Andover Ebenezer, a mariner, by a first wife somewhere. Daniel was a brother of young John also, so the only new name dropped into this different list was the one of Ebenezer. John and Dorothy moved a good deal - Lynn, Beverly, Andover and Methuen. Elisabeth Farrington, formerly a Knight, widow of John Farrington of Lynn, was Mark's second wife, and may have furnished a first wife for Ebenezer, mother of Dorothy.

I have had spells of reading up all the Farrington papers, without avail as yet. The one brother and sister Esther may have had less from the old father during his life so Ebenezer tried to make it up to them, as Mark may have spent estate, held by right of the mother, of one at least. Elisabeth, born 1659, was the last child of Amy; did she marry William Stratton? Did her daughter marry cousin Ebenezer Graves, son of the older man in 1708? If her mother Elisabeth was sister of Ebenezer, son of Mark by the first wife Amy, a daughter would hardly marry her uncle, but if he was dead and his son Ebenezer was left to carry out the unsettled affairs of his father, it would be a reasonable guess that he took for one wife his cousin. There was likely to be a second daughter Elisabeth to old Mark by Elisabeth Farrington, the second wife, who would be eligible for Hobbs in 1701.

There is no record of any Dorothy to Mark's second wife, and she may have been at least eighteen in 1708, born about 1690. I feel sure that among the grandchildren of Mark and Amy somewhere, Dorothy lived in Lynn, at the time of marriage in 1708. As to Ebenezer, son of Mark, being about sixty in 1715, when he married Miss Stratton, if not a relative, he was at an age of course more suitable for a grandparent. We had in Andover an elderly man who lost his mother at the age of 62, got lonesome, married in six years a lady 28 years his junior, by whom he had one son, who married twice, and who had three sons and two daughters and as smart a lot of grandchildren as one sees anywhere, still surviving. There is no space nor time for the six marriage items of a Richardson of Billerica, some of whose folks lived here, and many other examples too numerous to quote. The facts don't seem to fit first rate theory as yet, but we may stumble upon some paper in the Methuen man's line which I have not yet recovered, that will tell the tale. I will also examine our tax list but I fear Ebenezer got away to sea before he paid a poll tax here.

Many thanks for added facts. C.H.A." (R‑9, R‑201)

She married John Hibbard (or Hebard or Hebbert or Hibbert) of Beverly, Mass., son of John Hibbert (or Hibbard) and his second wife Ruth Waldern (or Walden), on 6 June 1708 (according to Some Ancestral Lines, Raymon M. Tingley, Rutland, Vt., 1935). According to John Card Graves, the marriage was published 9 Dec. 1702. John was born in 1681, was baptized 4 June 1682 in Beverly, and died 3 May 1752 in Methuen, Mass.

John's father, John, was born 24 Jan. 1642/3 in Salem, Mass., died 26 March 1718 in Beverly, Mass., and first married Abigail Graves of Lynn, Mass. on 20 Oct. 1670. It is not known who Abigail was, but it is suspected that she may have been a granddaughter of original immigrant Samuel Graves of Lynn. A brother of John, Joseph Hibbert, married Elizabeth Graves on the same day, 20 Oct. 1670, and it is reasonable to assume that Abigail and Elizabeth were sisters.

Dorothy and John first lived in Lynn, Mass., where their first two children were born, then in Beverly, where their next child was born. They then lived in Andover, Mass. where their next four children were born, then in Haverhill, and finally in Methuen, Mass., where their last two children were born. These are the ancestors of Mrs. Mary James Borden (R‑2) and of Mrs. Tahsin Yigit (R‑3).

CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM GRAVES (13) AND ANNA HAYWARD

Samuel Graves (60) was born 3 Jan. 1684 in Andover, Mass., and died in 1747 in Haverhill, Mass. He first married Sarah Perkins, daughter of James Perkins and Leah Cox of Hampton, N.H., in Salisbury, Mass. She was born 3 Oct. 1682, and died 16 July 1724 in Londonderry (then Nutfield), N.H.

He secondly married Martha Bond, widow of John Bond of Haverhill, on 29 Jan. 1725. Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, pp. 66-7, states: John Bond, b. 12 Oct. 1688, son of Joseph Bond of Haverhill, b. 1653. Adm. estate of John Bond of Haverhill 5 June 1721.

Martha survived Samuel and was appointed Administratrix of his estate on 28 Oct. 1747. He moved from Londonderry to Kingston, N.H. in 1728, and to Haverhill, Mass. about 1741.

The following information substantiates the idea that Samuel Graves of Haverhill married Martha Bond, and that she was a daughter of Richard Hall, married first to John Bond, who died 1 May 1721.

The Williams genealogy (Cornelia Bartow Williams, Descendants of John Williams of Newbury and Haverhill, Mass.) states on page 25: John Bond, b. 12 Oct. 1688, d. 1 May 1721, m. 1715, Mary Hall. Children: Sarah, b. 21 Oct. 1716, d. 1 May 1721; John, b. 14 Jan. 1718/19; Jonathan, b. 14 Nov. 1721, d. 1 May 1721. There is a statement that "John Bond and his family (except son John) were drowned 1 May 1721 in the Merrimac River." This account is followed by an extensive bibliography.

The deaths of Sarah and Jonathan as given in this genealogy are not borne out by the Haverhill vital records. That of the father is. Vital Records of Haverhill, Mass. shows the following. Haverhill births: John, son of Joseph and Sarah (Williams) Bond, b. 12 Oct. 1688. Children of John and ‑‑‑‑‑‑ (Hall) Bond: Sarah, b. 21 Oct. 1716; John, b. 14 Jan. 1718/19; Jonathan, b. 14 Nov. 1721. Haverhill marriages: John Bond and ‑‑‑‑‑‑ Hall, before 1716. Haverhill deaths: John Bond, husband ‑‑‑‑‑‑ Hall, drowned 1 May 1721.

According to this, Jonathan Bond was born after his father's death, confirming the mother's survival of the drowning accident.

There is other information from Vital Records of Bradford, Mass. Bradford was across the Merrimac River from Haverhill, and is now a part of Haverhill. Bradford births: Daughters of Richard and Martha Hall: Mary, b. 1684, Martha, b. 11 March 1686/7. Bradford marriages: Jo(h)n Bond and Mary Hale, (Dec. 8) 1715 (from the records of the First Congregational Church of Bradford). This shows that Richard and Martha Hall of Bradford did have a daughter Martha and that her age was such as to make her a more likely wife of John Bond than her sister Mary.

It is not clear how the compilers of the Haverhill vital records determined the surname of the wife of John Bond but did not know her first name. The writer of the Williams genealogy apparently relied on the Bradford records for the first name. The lack of definition of this name in the Haverhill records does at least throw the name Mary into question.

There was discussion of these families in the genealogy column of the Boston Transcript in the early part of this century. Item 6466 of the column of 15 July 1903 states that Richard Hall was an original member of the Bradford church and that his wife Martha joined from Haverhill in 1682. Item 6219 of 6 Sept. 1904 says that Richard Hall was of Bradford as early as 1673 and died 4 March 1730; and that his will of 18 Nov. 1723, proved 30 March 1730, mentions present wife Martha, sons John, Joseph and Richard, and daughter Mary Hall. If true, this means that Mary was unmarried, giving further support to the thesis that it was her sister Martha instead who married John Bond. Item 1524 of 31 Oct. 1910, supplemented by an item of the same number in the 14 Nov. 1910 issue of the Transcript, attempts to trace the ancestry of Richard Hall of Bradford, Deacon John Hall of Dover, N.H., and Ralph Hall, "progenitor of the Halls of Exeter, N.H.", who are postulated to be brothers to John Hall, baptized at Bradford, Yorkshire, on 12 Feb. 1564. He was the son of John and Ann (Morton) Hall. Lastly, item 4474 of the Transcript of 27 Jan. 1915, replying to an earlier query, states that John Bond, son of John and Sarah (Williams) Bond and grandson of John and Hester (Blakely) Bond of Newbury and Haverhill, was born Haverhill 12 Oct. 1688; married Martha Hall, born Bradford 11 March 1686/7, daughter of Richard Hall; and was drowned 1 May 1721. His widow married Samuel Graves. The item does not mention sources, but gives its information with finality. (R‑27, R‑201)

161. John Graves, bapt. 30 Sept. 1722.

John Graves (63) was born 11 June 1691 at Andover, Mass. It may be that he died in 1790, nearly 100 years old, and his son Crispus was appointed administrator of his estate on 3 Oct. 1790. However, based on the baptismal records of the First Church of Falmouth, Maine, it appears more likely that John died in 1726 and his younger brother, William, married his widow, having 6 children that have sometimes been attributed to John.

John went at an early age to that portion of Mass. which is now the State of Maine, and settled in Falmouth, where lands were granted to him in 1721. He married Elizabeth Bean, daughter of Captain Joseph Bean and Joanna Treethy of York, Maine, about 1724. She was born 21 May 1704. He was on the Maine Militia Master Roll in Capt. Larraby's Co., April to Nov. 1722. His daughters were said to have married Messrs. Stacy, Woodbury and Cutler.

Note: John Graves did not marry Martha Mitten as some have believed. The John Graves who married Martha Mitton (or Mitten) arrived from England about 1673 (according to Roland B. Graves), and married Martha of Ipswich prior to 8 Nov. 1677. Martha was a daughter of Michael Mitton. John and Martha did move to Falmouth, Me. and stayed there briefly before moving to New Hampshire and eventually to Rhode Island. The fact that they were in Falmouth for a short time probably led to the confusion. (The basis for this paragraph is found in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and N.H., by Sybil Noyes, Genealogical Pub. Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1976.)

Falmouth records indicate that John Graves was granted 30 acres of land on the west side of the Persumscott River (Casco side) on 3 July 1721. On 10 April 1727 John was assessed 160 pounds for the salary, board and parsonage for the Reverend Thomas Smith of the First Parish. On 27 April 1727 a house lot was laid out for John in the First Parish. Later on, after he had maintained the land for seven to ten years, he obtained permanent title. The mark for John Graves' creatures was a "crape on the top of each ere". Also, John was granted 10 acres of land 1 April 1724. John was appointed a Constable at one time by the town of Falmouth.

It is interesting to note one reason records of early Falmouth are so difficult to find today is that on October 17, 1775 (about 6 months after the battles of Concord and Lexington) Captain Mowatt in command of 5 ships dispatched from Boston (by Admiral Thomas Graves, in command of the British fleet blockading Boston harbor) completely destroyed Falmouth by bombardment, and a shore party burned all buildings out of reach of the ships' cannon. Falmouth at that time was the largest and richest town in Maine, composed of about 400 dwelling houses. With winter fast approaching, the early settlers must have had severe problems and hardships. The reason for this attack was that the patriotic settlers in Falmouth had refused to permit the Tories to sell supplies to ships of the British Navy and this was their punishment. (See The History of Maine, by John S. C. Abbott.)

The four sons of John and William (referred to by Rev. Charles N. Sinnett, R‑206) - Samuel, Joseph, Johnson, and John - came to Topsham, Me. from Falmouth at different times, about 1762. These were the four "brothers" discussed by Rev. Sinnett. It was common in colonial days to refer to half-brothers as brothers. Joseph and Samuel were the grantees of a deed of 1000 acres near and convenient to the two branches of the western stream of Cathance River. Deed recorded 16 March 1758.

Woodman in his sketch of Topsham, Maine wrote: "The four Graves brothers who settled at Topsham, Maine came to America from Gloucestershire, England, and went to Falmouth, Maine. The date is not known. Together these four brothers had 500 acres of the Topsham, Maine millwright in a body. Samuel Graves had the southwest division of 150 acres; Joseph Graves had the next 100 acres. Johnson Graves, with his brother John Graves (who came to Topsham, Maine later than the other three brothers) had 250 acres of land adjoining the land of Joseph Graves, who lived and died on his lot."

"Joseph Graves, Samuel Graves, Samuel Staples (?), brothers of Johnson Graves, but all of them said to be of Falmouth, but now of a place called Topsham, Maine, are grantees for 209 pounds and and 1/2 of one thousand acres to be laid out near and convenient to the two branches of the western stream of Cathance River. The grantees are Samuel Waterhouse of Boston, merchant, and Hannah, his wife, the only representative and daughter of Job Lewis, Esqr., late of Boston. They sell in said deed all our right, which they declare to be one-half of the said one thousand acres, as same is described in writing of a deed of Feb. 20, 1740 from Henry Gibbs to our said father, Job Lewis. Recorded at York Co., Maine. References, etc. (The other half of the above mentioned land is said to have belonged to Samuel Winchell and others.)"

The 1790 census for the Town of Topsham, Maine, indicates John headed a family of 3 males over 16, 1 male under 16, and 3 females; Johnson headed a family of 2 males over 16, 1 male under 16, and 3 females; Samuel headed a family of 2 males over 16, 4 males under 16, and 4 females.

The 1800 census indicated John Jr. headed a family of 1 male over 16 and 5 females; Johnson headed a family of 2 males over 16, 1 male under 16, and 2 females; Joseph headed a family of 1 male over 16, 1 male under 16, and 2 females.

The three children shown below are listed in the baptismal records of the First Church of Falmouth, Maine. (R‑10, R‑13, R‑201, R‑206)

Sinnett and others. He apparently married Elizabeth Bean, daughter of Captain Joseph Bean and Joanna Treethy of York, Maine, about 1727. (R‑10, R‑206)

He was buried at South Hampton on 7 May 1765. His wife was admitted to the church at South Hampton on 1 June 1766, and died before 18 June 1781. James Graves was a substantial and respected citizen, and belonged to that class of inhabitants who created the public sentiment that culminated in the American Revolution. (R‑201)

+332. Sarah Hovey, b. 19 Nov. 1746, m. John Farwell, 16 March 1769, d. 23 April 1829.

Mary Graves (148) was born 29 July 1729 in Haverhill, Essex Co., Mass., was baptized 11 Jan. 1729/30 in Second Church, Salisbury (or Amesbury), Mass., and died 1 Oct. 1807 in Haverhill, Mass. She married Jonathan Shepard on 30 May 1751 in Haverhill, Mass. (John Card Graves said she probably married Moses Call, but nothing has been found to support this.) Sources for these facts are: Jacobus, The Shepard Families of New England, vol. III, p. 355; Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, p. 511, from records of Second Church of Amesbury; and inscriptions in the family Bible belonging to Mehitable Shepard, daughter of Jonathan Shepard and Mary Graves. Included in the Bible entries are the names of Mary's parents, "Martha Graves" and "Samuel Graves of King Street, Ipswich." There are no other Graves names in the Bible.

From Jacobus's book (with slight editing changes): Jonathan Shepard, son of Jonathan Shepard, was born 22 Sept. 1728 and died in 1793 (before 29 April), both in Haverhill, Mass. He was admitted to the First Congregational Church of Haverhill, 10 June 1753, and had children baptized there. Later in life he became a Baptist, for his will mentions his pew in the Baptist Church at Haverhill.

He is reported as a private in Capt. Richard Ayer's Co., Col. Johnson's Regt., which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775; "reported a deacon." (Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolution, 14:116.)

He was listed in the 1790 census in Haverhill with one male under 16 (although his son Jonathan was actually 18) and two females.

The church record of his marriage calls him "Mr." and his bride "Mrs.", but this term of respect does not at that period imply that the bride was a widow. A deed is cited, 15 May 1792, by which Jonathan Shepard of Haverhill conveyed land "formerly of my father Joseph Bond" (Essex County Land), which suggests that his bride was a Bond by birth and not a widow Graves. (Jacobus did not have the Bible record available to him as cited earlier.) There was, indeed, a Joseph Bond of Haverhill whose will, dated 7 Dec. 1724, named with other children a daughter Mary. It is estimated, however, that this Mary Bond would have been too old to be mother of all the Shepard children. Since a daughter of Jonathan gave a child the full name of Mary Graves, it seems probable that this was the maiden name of Jonathan's wife. Furthermore, if the land formerly belonging to Joseph Bond had been inherited by Jonathan's wife, she was then living and should have joined him in the deed. It is suggested that the cited deed should be re-examined.

On 19 April 1754, Jonathan Shepard of Haverhill, blacksmith, and Solomon Kimball of Bradford, Mass., bought land in Hampstead, N.H., which they sold 1 Dec. 1758. Also, on 12 Dec. 1759, Jonathan Shepard, Jr., of Haverhill, blacksmith, with the same Solomon Kimball, sold land in the 4th division of the original right laid out to Samuel Graves, dec'd. (New Hampshire Land).

On 10 April 1792, Jonathan Shepard of Exeter, N.H., blacksmith, conveyed to James Shepard of Hampstead, N.H. (Deeds, Exeter, N.H.).

The will of Jonathan Shepard of Haverhill, yoeman, dated 16 Feb. 1793, proved 29 April 1793, named his wife Mary; son Jonathan; and daughters Polly Shepard and Mehitable Ayres; James Duncan, executor. Duncan declined and administration was granted to James Shepard (Jonathan's brother) of Hampstead, N.H. (Essex Co. Probate). (R‑27, R‑204)

They were both of Falmouth, and their intention to marry was published 5 Oct. 1751. She died Nov. 1752. He secondly married Mrs. Mary (Jack) Gooding of Brunswick (or Topsham, according to Mr. Roland B. Graves), Maine on 29 Nov. 1770. Mary had previously married James Gooding on 6 Dec. 1753. She died in 1797. Samuel Graves was in Capt. George Berry's Military Co. at Falmouth from 19 May 1746 to 19 Jan. 1747, was in the Louisburg Campaign of 1745, and was a selectman in Topsham in 1773. He moved to Topsham, Me. about 1762, and was selectman there in 1773. His son Jacob was appointed administrator of his estate on 29 June 1793. (R‑10, R‑13, R‑201)

CHILDREN OF WILLIAM GRAVES (65) AND ELIZABETH BEAN

Joseph Graves (165) was born about 1728 in Falmouth, Me., was baptized in May 1730, died 11 June 1797 in Topsham, Me., and was buried in the Old Topsham Cem. He married Jane Adams, sister of Joshua, Moses, and Benjamin Adams. They were both of Falmouth, Maine. She was born 13 May 1733 at Newbury, Mass. Their intentions were published 2 (or 5) Nov. 1754. She was probably a daughter of Jacob Adams of Falmouth and Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑. Falmouth town records show Jacob Adams granted 40 acres of land and 1 acre of land for a house lot. Other Falmouth town records show his children to be: Elizabeth, b. 4 July 1728; John, b. 28 June 1730; Mary, b. 5 July 1732. Mary had published intentions of marriage to David Woodman on 22 Jan. 1748.

Samuel and Joseph, the oldest of the four Graves brothers, evidently moved to Topsham in 1758, as the deed transferring the 1000 acres of land they purchased was dated 16 March 1758.

The town of Topsham was incorporated in 1764, and Joseph was a selectman in 1770. There is also a record that he was a member of the Church of Christ Congregational Church in Topsham. (R‑13, R‑201)

357. Joanna Graves, never married.

Charles Johnson Graves (166), called Johnson, was born 8 (or 1) Feb. 1732 in Falmouth, Maine, was baptized 28 March 1732, and died 18 Jan. 1824 in Topsham, Me. It is conjectured that he used the name Johnson because he didn't like the name Charles, thus explaining the apparent strangeness of naming one son John and another Johnson. He first married Sarah Staples of Falmouth, sister of Stephen and Samuel Staples, on 10 Sept. 1757 in Falmouth, Me. He secondly married Mrs. Susanna (Hobbs) Staples, widow of Stephen Staples, formerly of Falmouth. He went to Topsham, Me. about 1762 (or 23 June 1803). His first three children were apparently born in Falmouth, Me., and the last two were born in Topsham.

Johnson's cemetery stone, two miles north of Topsham on Route 24, has the name "Greaves" and date of death as Jan. 27, 1824, age 91 years, 11 months, 8 days. He was a private in a Massachusetts unit (from Topsham) during the Rev. War, and those records indicate birthdate as 19 Aug. 1732 and death on 8 Jan. 1824. Sarah Staples was a daughter of Samuel Staples II and Elizabeth. Samuel II was granted land in Falmouth on 17 Aug. 1727, 6 Nov. 1727, and 15 March 1727/8. Sarah was born 16 March 1736/7, and marriage intention pub. 10 Sept. 1757. (R‑13, R‑201)

He and two others made the first settlement in what is now known as Tuftonboro, N.H. as early as 1781.

An old article says: "Phineas Graves in the spring of 1779 left South Hampton and struck out into the wilderness on foot with ax and gun, and camp equipage on a hand sled, and traveled to Tuftonboro where he made a clearing and built a log house. The next year he married Hannah Brown of Epping. Placing her on a horse, he traveled by her side with a load on his own back. They journeyed to their future home where, leaving his young bride alone, the nearest neighbor being at Moultonboro 12 miles away, he took the horse back to Epping and returned to his little clearing, leading a cow, the marriage portion of his bride."

He was a Selectman and Representative of that town, a joiner, saw and grist mill owner, and a soldier in the Rev. Army. His will was dated 8 Feb. 1816, probated 5 March 1816, and mentions most of the children listed below. It is not certain in all cases which children are by the first marriage and which by the second.
