THOMAS GRAVES, QUAKER
of Newcastle Co., Delaware
and His Descendants
GENERATION 1
Thomas Graves (1) lived in New
Castle Co., Delaware. He probably died
before his son, Samuel, came into possession of his land in 1700. He is thought to have arrived in America,
perhaps at Philadelphia, about 1680.
There is a deed for property he purchased near Philadelphia in
1685. It is said that he entertained
people such as William Penn and Lord Baltimore at magnificent hunting parties
on his lands. Irish Quakers in
Pennsylvania, by Albert Cooke Myers, page 365, states that “The will of
Joseph Whitesett in Dungannon, Co. Tyrone, Ireland, dated Jan. 7, 1732,
mentions his relative Thomas Greaves, Jr., and suggests that the wife of Thomas
Greaves may have been a Whitesett.” In Passengers
and Ships Prior to 1684, Welcome Society: “It has been speculated that
perhaps the widow, Jane Greave, who came to America on the ship Antilope
in 1682 with her mother, Mary Milcon, may have been a sister-in-law of Thomas
Greave. She was from the Quaker meeting
at Killmore Parish, Ballyhagan, Ireland.
She married 6 mo 8th 1685 Maurice Liston.”
Because of the similarity in names
and places, it is very possible that this family is closely connected with or
descended from genealogy 712 for John Grierson of Scotland, and the Greer and
Greeves Family of Ireland.
Thomas is thought by some to have
come from Lynn, Mass. about 1690. As
his son Thomas Graves, Jr. of Salem Co., N.J. married a New England woman and
his son Samuel Graves married a widow of a Lynn man who had moved to N.J., some
support for this supposition is supplied.
(Note that in the discussion of Samuel, there is no information provided
to support this statement that he married the widow of a Lynn man; evidence is
needed.)
In the tax list for 1693 for Sussex
Co., Pa. (now Delaware) there appears the name of a Thomas Graves who owned 300
acres of land and is listed with children.
For a time he was thought to be the father of the four children listed
below (for Thomas Graves of New Castle Co.), but careful examination of the
land records of Sussex Co. proves him to be another man who did not die until
after 1712 and seems to have had but one son, Thomas Graves, Jr. (Who is this Thomas Graves of Sussex
Co.?) In contrast, as stated above, the
Thomas of New Castle Co. must have died before 1700. Thomas Graves of Sussex Co. was there as early as 1680, as he is
named in a census of that year and had a grant of land from the court at Lewes
that year.
In a Genealogical History of the State of Delaware, as quoted by John
Card Graves, appears the following. "Among the first settlers of New
Castle County were the ancestors of the Graves family. They were of English descent. Thomas Grave (for so was the name sometimes
spelled two centuries ago) was the first of the family to come to America. He was a typical English gentleman,
possessed of means, a sturdy constitution, and a hearty love of the chase. He founded his home at Christiana Hundred in
1691, purchasing for that purpose 500 acres of land, part of which he used as a
game preserve. He was fond of hunting
deer and foxes which made their habitation on his property, and hunting parties
he gave were famous for good sport. He
died on his farm."
Samuel Graves and Thomas Graves
were living in Sussex Co., Pa. (now Delaware) in 1693. The names of the two brothers appear upon
the tax list of that year, each paying 6 d. tax having no real estate. (If Samuel and Thomas paid tax in 1693, it
would seem that they should have been born before 1677 and 1680, since they
would have only been 16 and 13 years of age.
See also the comment in the section on Thomas Graves who was supposedly
born 1680.) Widow Wynne is taxed on a
200 acre plantation the same year, and her stepson Jonathan Wynne is taxed 6 d.
in the same year. Jonathan Wynne about
1695 married Sarah Graves, a sister of the above two brothers, as is proved by
the Friends Meeting minutes in regard to the marriage of Jonathan Wynne's
daughter Sidney to her first cousin Samuel Graves, Jr., son of the above Samuel
Graves, in 1732. Another brother,
Thomas Graves, lived in Salem Co., N.J. as early as 1698, where he is witness
to a will dated that year. (Why is
Thomas Graves referred to as "another brother", since Thomas was
already mentioned as a brother?) Samuel
Graves, Sr. about 1700 moved to a tract of land in New Castle Co. which seems
to have belonged to Thomas Graves as early as 1691. In a survey of adjacent lands in 1691, it refers to the line of
Thomas Graves' lands, and it is reasonable to suppose that he was the father of
these children. (R‑106)

GENERATION 2
CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (1)
Samuel Graves (2) was born about
1670 (or 1677 or 1675)[1],
probably in Ireland, and died 5 Oct. 1741 in New Castle Co., Del. He married
Sarah Bezer, daughter of William Bezer and Sarah Cool of Chichester, Chester
Co. (now Delaware Co.), Pa., in June 1702.
She was born 25 (or 26) April 1677, and died 15 Oct. 1751 in
Delaware. He was a weaver by trade, and
lived near the present village of Centerville, Delaware. He was for many years an accepted minister
in the Society of Friends and an elder in the Center Meeting. (R‑106)

Meeting House, Chester Co. (now Delaware Co.), Pa. She died 27 April 174-.
Jonathan Wynne built a house in
1700 in Blockley Twp., Philadelphia Co. on 200 acres of land he inherited from
his father, and here his descendants to the sixth generation lived. In 1890 the farm was sold and developed into
the present beautiful suburb to Philadelphia called Wynnefield. The original homestead, remodeled into one
of the most beautiful colonial houses in the Philadelphia area, was still
standing in 1923. (R‑106)

d. 1 Sept. 1790, dau. of Heinrich Pastorius and Sarah Boucher and granddaughter
of Francis David Pastorius, the scholarly leader of the German settlers of
Germantown, Pa. (now part of Philadelphia).
H. Clifford Campion, Jr., who supplied much of this information, is
descended from this John Wynne.
Thomas Graves (5) was born about 1680,
and died in 1714 in Pilesgrove Twp., Salem Co., N.J. He left a will dated 12 Sept. 1714, proved 28 Dec. 1714, that
named his wife Ann and his brother-in-law Aquilla Barber as executors.
He married Ann (or Anne) Barber
about 1703-4. She was born in 1681 in
Suffield, Conn., and was a daughter of Thomas Barber and Ann Chase.
Thomas Graves purchased the 100
acre plantation of Benjamin Acton 2 Feb. 1701/2 situated at the head of Salem
Creek in Pilesgrove Twp., part of 1500 acres Acton bought 1n 1695 from William
Hall. His brother-in-law, Aquilla
Barber, bought 125 acres of this same tract adjoining him on 20 Aug. 1703. This land was not far from the present site
of Woodstown, Salem Co., N.J.
(According to notes in the Bertha
McGeehan Collection in the Gen. Soc. of Pa. Library: Thomas Graves of Oxford,
Philadelphia Co., Pa., bought land on Alloways Creek, Salem Co., N.J., on 28
March 1685. Was this the same
Thomas? If not, who was he? Thomas could not have been born in 1680 and
bought land in 1685.)
Thomas was evidently a member of
the Society of Friends for at their meeting held 4 mo. (June) 29, 1704,
"George Abbott was appointed to go and speak to Thomas Graves once more
concerning his disorderly walking both in his marriage also his neglect in
appearing at meeting." He is
called a weaver in the deeds, as was his brother Samuel. The following children (not yet 21) were
named in his will, and he left 100 acres of land to each of them (or perhaps
200 acres to Joseph). (R‑106, R‑108)

Pa., 3:117). According to New Castle
Co., Del. Will Abstracts, 1682-1800, p. 35: "Jonathan Greaves, yoeman, of

Co., N.J. He married Rebeckah (or
Rebecca) ‑‑‑‑‑‑. They were Quakers and belonged to the Salem Monthly Meeting of
Friends, Salem, N.J., in 1742 when their son Thomas was born. Thomas may have transferred to Salem Monthly
Meeting from Burlington (N.J.) Monthly Meeting, since Richard Graves and others
did. Thomas was granted a certificate
to Philadelphia (Pa.) Monthly Meeting on 28 March 1750. He may have moved to Philadelphia slightly
earlier, about 1747. He sold the
homestead his father had left him to his brother Joseph on 15 Jan. 1754. (R‑101)
Children - Graves
39. Thomas Graves[2],

GENERATION 4
CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (7) AND

Thomas Graves (23) was born 5 July
1734, and died in Chatham Co., N.C., probably before 1800. He married Martha Dixon about 1770 at the
Monthly Meeting, Society of Friends, on Clay Creek, Chester Co., Pa. She died in Tenn. They were both Quakers.
Thomas moved to Cane Creek Monthly Meeting, Orange Co. (now Alamance
Co.), N.C. in 1757[3]. Cane Creek M.M. was established the 7th day
of the 10th month of 1751. (The Quaker
custom was to refer to months by number rather than by name.) This family also seems to have lived in
Chatham Co., N.C. (R‑1, R‑5,

CHILDREN OF JONATHAN GRAVES (10)
AND SARAH CHANDLER
Jacob Graves (35) was born 23 June
1743 in New Castle Co., Del., and died 17 (or 15) April 1818 (or 1817) in
Whitewater, Wayne Co., Ind. He married
Rebecca Langley, daughter of Jonathan Langley and Sarah Mendenhall of New
Castle Co., Del., on 2 July (or Feb.) 1771 at Holy Trinity (Old Swedes) Church,
Wilmington, Del. (See p. 733 in the
history of that church.) She was born
about 1750 and died before 1816, both in Christiana Hundred, New Castle Co.,
DE. He was complained of on 15 Aug.
1771 at Newark-Kennett Friends Meeting because he was married out of the Quaker
faith.
Jacob Greaves farmed at Wilmington,
Delaware, about one mile southeast of Centerville, New Castle Co., Del. He sold
his farm in 1816 in the Christiana Hundred area and moved to Wayne Co., Ind.,
near Richmond. The sale date was Nov.
4, 1816, after the farm growing season was over. He died soon after arrival in the Quaker colony in Indiana just a
few days before his 85th birthday. He
was buried in the family lot in Smyrna Quaker graveyard about four miles
southeast of Richmond, Ind., where his son Jacob Jr. and others lie.
When Jacob and his family migrated
to Indiana, they stopped at Redstone, Pa., and stayed with a family named
Dingy. While there during the stopover
of the covered wagon caravan, Ann, wife of Jacob Jr., gave birth to a girl whom
they called Martha Dingy Grave in honor of the hosts who took them in. It is not known how long the caravan of
Graves stayed there.
In 1897, Jacob's descendants began
annual reunions in Glen Miller Park in Richmond, Ind. The Minnesota branch of Grave began annual reunions at Lake
Minnetonka the same year.
Although the original name was
spelled Greaves, the English pronunciation became phonetically Graves. When this branch of the family moved west in
1816, the ending letter s was dropped, and the name from then on became
Grave. (R‑31, R‑106, R‑107)

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (23)
AND MARTHA DIXON
Thomas Graves (45) was born about
1771 or 178-, probably in NC, and died by 6 April 1836 in Maury Co., TN. He moved to Tenn. about 1800 with his mother
and youngest sister. According to Mr.
Oliver W. Graves, Thomas's wife owned about 20 slaves, so they could not move
to Ohio (a free state), so moved to Tenn. instead. Thomas may be the one who married Peggy (or Penny?) Wall on 9
March 1803 in Randolph Co., NC, bondsman John Graves. (There was also a Thomas Graves who married Polly Bennett on 5
May 1801 in Caswell Co., NC, but that is not the correct one. That one was Thomas Slade Graves, born 1775
in Caswell Co., NC, died 1847 in Newton Co., GA, son of John Herndon Graves,
descended from Capt. Thomas Graves of VA.)
Because Thomas's son, Isaac Lee
Graves, and his wife Mary named their first son Elijah Thomas and their first
daughter Margaret Jane, it is believed these were probably the names of his
parents. That would support the
likelihood that Thomas married Margaret ("Peggy") Wall.
Thomas Graves was in Maury Co., TN
in 1820 and 1830, and his estate was settled there in 1836. The sale of property of the estate of Thomas
Graves, deceased, was held on 6 April 1836 in Maury Co., TN. Administrators were Isaac L. Graves and John
W. Record. Some of the buyers were
Polly Graves (widow?), Isaac L. Graves, Sherwood Graves, William A. Record,
John W. Record, James B. Record, William L. Brantley, Harris Brantley, etc.
There was a Thomas Graves who
married Polly Weaver on 15 Dec. 1828 in Maury Co., TN. Could this have been a second wife of Thomas
who died in 1836? The 1820 census for
Maury Co., TN showed Thomas Graves with 2 males under 10, 1 male 26-45, 1
female 10-16, and 1 female 16-26. All
three of Thomas's known children were in Perry Co., TN in the 1850 census. (R‑29, R‑32, R‑33)

said that his father was John (rather than William), and that he settled in
Harrison Twp., Ross Co., Ohio, as did John Comber (Comer). It was also believed by R‑7 that
Alex’s mother’s name was Moab, since that name was carried on in the family for
several generations, and she believed that to be Alex’s middle name. Alex's marriage to Rebecca was one of the
first Ohio marriages. Union Cem., where
they were both buried, is in Eagle Twp., Vinton Co. However, when they first went to Ohio, that area was Hocking
Co. It was later given to Ross Co., and

GENERATION 6
CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (45)
Sylvia (or Silvia) Graves (82) was
born about 1806-08 in NC, and died about 1850-52, probably in Perry Co.,
TN. She married Leonard Mayton
Thompson, son of Leonard Thompson, on 11 Sept. 1827 in Maury Co., TN. The bondsman was William Duncan. The first Leonard was born about 1776 in
Wake Co., NC, married about 1800 in NC, lived near Raleigh, Wake Co., NC, moved
to TN before 1820, and died in Maury Co., TN before 1850. Leonard M. was born 26 Dec. 1806 in NC, died
7 April 1890 near the old town of Wheeler, Washington Co., AR, and was buried
in Old Wheeler Cem., Washington Co. (near the Benton Co. line). They were listed in the 1850 census for
Perry Co., TN. Their children were born
in TN.
In 1852-3, Leonard M. Thompson and
the children moved to McDonald Co., MO, and about 1862 moved to Washington Co.,
AR. He was a Mason, a farmer and a blacksmith. His sons Isaac and Charles (and perhaps the
other sons also) played the fiddle.
He married second Martha Sanders
(or Saunders), a widow, who had a son Asa Sanders/Saunders. By the time the Thompsons arrived in AR,
they were Methodists. By his second
marriage, Leonard had children Mary Jane, Sarah, and Henry who married Ida
Thompson. Mary Jane married John
Franklin and had twin boys. Mary Jane
went to Texas in 1911 to visit the Thompsons.
R‑29 visited Leonard's grave,
and saw parts of two old log houses on his land in Washington Co. that were
still standing in the 1960's. A
grandson by Martha owned part of the land in 1977. (R‑29, R‑34)
Children - Thompson

Isaac Lee Graves (83) was born 1
Nov. 1810 in NC, in Caswell Co., NC according to family tradition of R‑30,
died about 1894 in Perry Co., TN, and was buried in the Graves Cem., Perry Co.,
TN. There is no tombstone there
now. He first moved (probably from
Caswell Co., NC) to Maury Co., TN, at a very early age (probably about 1820 or
slightly before, when he was 10 or younger), and lived in the part that was later
annexed by Marshall Co. About 1845 he
moved to Perry Co., TN. His land grant
28680 calls for 190 acres in Perry Co., and is dated 21 April 1847.
He married twice and had nine
children by each wife. He first married
Mary D. Lincoln on 19 Nov. 1828 in Maury Co., TN. She was born 6 Jan. 1807 in NC, died 9 Feb. 1856 on Sinking
Creek, Perry Co., TN, and was buried on Sinking Creek but not in the Graves
Cem. The first person buried there was
her son, Brantley.
Mary's father's name may have been
Elijah Lincoln, and Isaac and Mary's oldest son may have been named for her
father and his father. The only Lincoln
family listed in the 1830 Maury Co. census is Elijah Lincoln. He and his wife, Jane, are mentioned in
early Maury Co. court records.
Isaac married second Parthena (or
Parthenia) (Ledbetter) Ary, daughter of Johnson Ledbetter[5]
and Jane Wade, on 28 Oct. 1858 in Lewis Co., TN. She was born 12 Feb. 1837, died about 10 April 1912 in Perry Co.,
TN, and was buried in the Graves Cem., Perry Co., TN.
Parthena had first married Daniel
Ary on 6 Feb. 1854 in Lewis Co., TN.
From the 1860 census of Perry Co. it appears they had two daughters:
Sophia J. and Susan. Apparently Susan
died young, since no one has any information about her. Sophia married several times but never had
any children. She was buried in Graves
Cem., Perry Co., TN. A new tombstone
was recently erected for her, provided by Earline Hickerson, a foster daughter.
R‑38 showed Elijah Thomas
Graves (oldest child of Isaac Lee Graves) as the father of a Henry Lewis Graves
with wife Louise Harber. However, it
appears that Henry Lewis Graves was actually Henry Lee Graves, half-brother of
Elijah, since all dates and other information matched. (R‑28, R‑29, R‑30, R‑33,
R‑44)

John H. ("Bossy") Graves
(85) was born 19 Dec. 1823, probably in Maury Co., TN, and died about 1902 in
Wayne Co., TN. He married Sarah
("Sally") Williams, daughter of William Williams and Sarah
("Sally") ‑‑‑‑‑‑, about
1845. She was born 3 Sept. 1828 in TN,
died 26 March 1892 in Flatwoods, Perry Co., TN[7],
and was buried Flatwoods Cem., Perry Co., TN.
Their children were probably born in Wayne Co., TN.
The family was listed in the 1850,
1860, 1870, 1880, and 1900 censuses for Wayne Co., TN. There is a lot of circumstantial evidence
that John H. Graves was a son of Thomas Graves; the second male in the
household of Thomas in 1820 was probably another son, possibly Sherwood
Graves. According to Imogene Parsley,
John H. and Isaac Lee Graves (his brother) lived along Buffalo River near the
Wayne Co.-Perry Co. line, with John H. always found in Wayne Co. and Isaac in
Perry Co. records. The similarity of
children's names between the families of Thomas, John and Isaac is also quite
striking. (R‑32, R‑33, R‑49,

James Graves (88) was born 2 Aug.
1801 (?), died 11 Sept. 1846, and was buried in Salt (or Saltz) Springs Cem.,
near Allensville, Ohio. He married
Sarah Leach (or Murry?). She was born
12 Aug. 1798 and died 1 Dec. 1850. She
was buried beside her husband in Vinton Co., Ohio. According to Mrs. Neva Davis, the following were his
children. The main evidence for James
being a son of Samuel seems to be Mrs. Davis's statement that her grandfather
said that James was a brother of Henry and Nathan. This James then does not seem to be the one who was born in 1819
and died in 1846. That one is a cousin,
a son of John. Sarah, the widow of
James Graves, was listed in the 1850 census for Richland Twp., Vinton Co.,
Ohio, with children Basheba, 22, Mary J., 15, Martha, 10, James, 9; and a child
Louisa, 1, who may have been a grandchild.

married Eliza Hanson on 10 Oct. 1854 in Chillicothe, Ohio. Eliza was a half-sister of Sarah Hanson
Graves (Lewis' wife), so upon Miles' marriage to Eliza, he became Sarah's
brother-in-law instead of her nephew by marriage as he was when married to
Nancy Graves (daughter of Lewis' brother Alex). Union Cem., where Nancy and Miles were buried, was in the area of
Eagle Mills, which belonged to them.

Sarah ("Sallie") Graves
(159) was born 6 Sept. 1801, died July 1849, and was buried in Smyrna, Kent
Co., Delaware. She married John C. Reed
before 26 Dec. 1818 as his first wife in a non-Quaker ceremony. They were questioned by Quaker authorities
and had to confess that they were "in error" to be readmitted to the
Society of Friends.
John Reed was born 1796 in
Maryland, died June 1873, and was buried in Earlham Cem., Richmond, Wayne Co.,
IN. He was a son of John Reed, b. 1758,
Darke Co., Ohio, d. 1845, and Martha Rowland, d. Maryland. John probably had 3 wives, 2 for
certain. His suspected second wife is
Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑, whom he married before 25 July
1853 in a non-Quaker ceremony. Mary
died 11 Jan. 1859. For his third wife
he married Ann K. Davis prior to 23 May 1860 in a non-Quaker ceremony. He was apparently her fourth husband, since
she had apparently been married previously to Mr. White (one daughter,
Elizabeth Ann White, by this marriage), Mr. Benbow, and Mr. Negus. She died 1 Sept. 1881, and was buried at
Washington, Ind. Ann was John's wife at

Rebecca Graves (163) was born 30
April 1811, and died 22 May 1857 at Stubbs Bay, Lake Minnetonka, Minn. She moved with her family to Wayne Co., Ind.
about 1816. She married Gibson Teas,
son of Charles Teas and Mary Gibson, on 5 Jan. 1832 at Smyrna Quaker Meeting,
Wayne Co., Ind.
Gibson and Rebecca settled near the
Grave and Stubbs families. Rebecca was
buried near a plum thicket on the back of their small place overlooking Stubbs
Bay, recently known as the John/Elmer Larson farm. After Rebecca died, Gibson Teas drove back to Indiana and married
Diadama Sartwell. She was born 17 Oct.
1811, and died 20 March 1899 in Long Lake, Minn., daughter of Justus Sartwell
and Dorothy DeMoss. Gibson Teas died 11
May 1892. Diadama was twice widowed
before marrying Gibson Teas. She had
first married Norman West and secondly married Thomas Stafford. She brought her Stafford sons to Minnesota,
where they have descendants to this day.
Gibson Teas was a well-known
woodworking artisan. He is listed on
page 206 of Furniture Makers of Indiana,
1793-1850. In 1834 he advertised in
the Richmond, Ind. Palladium for his
turning business, selling ready turned bedposts. In 1835 he joined G. S. Sherman in cabinet making, but still
carried on his turning business.
He also sold brooms he made, and
kept an account of sales of the period.
One of his account books is in the Western Hennepin County Pioneers
Museum Library at Long Lake, Minn. He
brought his lathe to Stubbs Bay. Some
items he made are owned by relatives and some are in the museum at Long Lake
(trays, rolling pins). He started the
first library at Long Lake, and also was leader in the Spiritualist Movement in
Hennepin Co.
From the biographical sketch of
Gibson's son Charles, we learn that the family moved to Minnetonka in 1856.
Evidently the woodworking skill of Gibson Teas enabled him to secure employment
at the furniture factory at Minnetonka Mills.
(See history of that enterprise by Avery Stubbs.) All this before moving to old Excelsior
town, the part that is now Orono.
The old town of Excelsior record
book 1 (not present village) shows that Gibson Teas was chosen judge of
elections, 1864, local road overseer, 1862-6, and was on the town Board of
Supervisors, 1864, 5, and 6. (R‑107)

Meeting, four miles north of Richmond, Ind., at Woodbury Meeting House
(recorded in Minutes of the Wayne Co. Quakers). Mary Teas was born 14 Aug. 1812

Curtis L. Graves (179) was born 31
Jan. 1813 in DE, and died 5 Jan. 1892 in Spartanburgh, Randolph Co., IN. He probably first married Sarah E. ‑‑‑‑‑‑. (The interpretation of the census
information in the next paragraph is not clear.) He then married Beulah W. Dunham. She was born about 1819 in OH.
The 1850 census for Jefferson Twp.,
Preble Co., OH, listed Curtis Graves, 36, farmer, DE, Sarah E. Graves, 25, MD,
Edith Graves, 13, IN, and Levi C. Graves, 2, OH. The 1860 census for Richmond Twp., Wayne Co., IN listed Curtis
Graves, 46, merchant, DE, Bula W. Graves, 41, OH, and Levi C. Graves, 11,
OH. The 1870 census for Richmond Twp.,
Wayne Co., IN, listed Curtis Grave, 57, DE, Bulah W. Grave, 53, OH, Levi C.
Grave, 24, fruit dealer, OH, and William Dunham, 42, shoe maker, OH. In the 1880 census for Spartansburg,
Randolph Co., IN, was Curtis L. Grave, retired merchant, age 67, born in DE,
father born in DE, mother born in DE, with wife Bula W. Grave, age 60, born in
OH, and brother-in-law William Dunham, shoemaker, age 52, born in OH.
The 1850 census for Jefferson Twp.,
Preble Co., OH, listed the family of James Dunham, 28, carpenter, and after the
list of children was Beulah (Bealah) Dunham, 30, and Phebe A. Dunham, 27, so it
seems apparent that Beulah was not married to Curtis in 1850, and Levi was
already born then, so Levi must have been by a first wife. It is not clear who Edith Graves was (13 in
1850).

died, Isaac Cates made several trips to Ark. visiting kin ‑ He died at
Uncle “Wick’s”, Jean, Young Co., Tx. He
made rings for us girls out of dimes – for the boys, rings out of copper
pennies, & for the men rings out of quarters – I recall combing his hair
& sitting on his lap & listening to his tales.”

At the age of 7 years he moved with his parents to Illinois where he
grew to manhood. At the age of 19 years
he enlisted in the 112 Illinois infantry in the Union ranks and was in active
service until the close of the war. He
was taken a prisoner of war while in discharge of his duty near Parks Ferry,
Tenn., on or about November 17, 1863, and was confined in Atlanta and
Andersonville, Ga., Belle Isle, Va., Charleston and Florence, S.C., and finally
escaped on the 17 day of February 1865 at Goldsborough, N.C. His health was seriously impaired by his
prison life. He was married December
25, 1865, to Rachel Graves who survives him.
To this union was born two sons, Sherman, who died about 20 years ago at
the age of 24 years, and Sheridan, now a resident of this place. He also leaves a brother, Samuel Graves of
Council Bluffs, and a sister, Mrs. Herridge of Tarkio, besides a host of
friends and neighbors.
He moved with his family from
Illinois in 1882 to the farm which he still owns four miles south of this
place. He retired from farming eleven years ago and has since lived in this
city. His ready wit and good
disposition made him a general favorite among all who knew him.
The funeral occurred at the M.E.
church in Burlington Junction Friday at 10:30 a.m., Rev. Snider of the
Christian church officiating, and the body was laid to rest in the Ohio
cemetery. A large gathering of his
friends and comrades were present to pay their last respects to him whom they
so honored and respected."
Only one page from Jonathan's diary
survives, and discusses his escape from prison in Newbern, S.C. (the preceding
article says Goldsborough, N.C.).
"When I got away from the
rebels I was crawling on my hands and knees along the wagon road ... to
Goldsborough, N.C., under guard from outside of town. We had bin run in here the day before from Florence, S.C.
Prison. I crawled from here to Nubern,
N.C. on hands and knees from the 16 of Febuary till the 4 day of March, 90
miles. I had not walked for over 8
months before I got away. I was buried
for over 8 months in Anderson Prison, all but my head and armes. This was to kill the dropsy, scurvey,
gangreen which I had in my legs and bodey.
I floated down the Neuse River in the night past the Rebel Army at
Kinston, N.C."
Both their children were born in
Stark Co., Ill. (R‑15)

brothers Will and Elisha were also in the Northern forces.
After Hardin and Hannah married,
they moved to Benson, Minn. Because of
floodwaters, they moved to Minneapolis. They then moved to Morton, Minn., where
he continued his profession as "tonsorial artist" (barber). He later had shops in Thorpe, Minn., and in

Levi C. Graves (518) was born 19
Oct. 1848 in OH (according to the 1880 census), and died in 1920 in Kenosha,
WI. He married Elizabeth D. Starbuck on
5 Feb. 1879. She was born 12 March 1854
and died much earlier than Levi. Levi
lived in Chicago in the 1890's, moved to Kenosha, WI about 1900, and remained
there until his death.
The Graves and Starbuck families
lived in Indiana, and they were originally Quakers. (Perhaps Levi was descended from Thomas Graves of New Castle Co.,
DE, genealogy 85.) The 1880 census for
Peru, Miami Co., IN listed Levi C. Graves as a hotel keeper, age 31, born in
OH, father born in DE, mother born in OH, with wife Elizabeth, age 26, born in
IN, father born in NC, mother born in IN, and son Thomas, age 6 months, born in
IN.
Russell Strawbridge of Rensellaer,
IN, a second cousin of Thomas V. Graves (R‑36) wrote that there might be
a connection between Levi Graves and Stephen B. Graves. Stephen B. Graves married Mary Strawbridge
on 5 Nov. 1835. She was born 2 Sept.
1816 in Hopewell Twp., PA. Their children, all born in Indiana, were: Joseph

1880. They lived in Chickasaw, Mercer

However, the Evening Journal
Tribune for April 4[30],
1936 stated: “Mr. Graves was one of the best known and highly respected

He was employed as a teamster for the Marysville Lumber Co. for a number
of years. Mr. Graves retired several
years ago, from active work. He was a
native of Whitewater, Ind., and a member of the Maccabee Lodge.” Perhaps he moved from Chickasaw to
Marysville after his first wife died.

[1] The 1670 date is from R-109. The other dates are from R-106, and seem less likely.
[2] It was previously believed that this was the Thomas Graves who married Martha Dixon and went to NC. However, research of Jean Grave (R-20) shows that the Thomas Graves who married Martha Dixon was actually a son of John Graves and Jane Chandler.
[3] Another source (R-106) said he moved in 1765.
[4] According to R-24, his name was Eli Graves. According to R-26, his name was Emerson Graves.
[5] R‑53 gave her father's name as James Ledbetter.
[6] IGI record confirms this and gives his father and mother.
[7] R‑52 said she died in Wayne Co., TN.
[8] Marriage date given as 2 Jan. 1872 per R‑51.
[9] This child is given as Nancy Graves by R‑51 and others.
[10] Sources are Marriage Records of Ross County, Ohio, 1798-1849, his obituary, and a handwritten family history written by his granddaughter, Lulu Graves.
[11] Tombstone Inscriptions, Liberty Twp., Ross Co., Ohio, 1998.
[12] Tombstones of Liberty Township, Ohio.
[13] Although his tombstone lists his date of death as 26 May 1899, the 16 March 1893 edition of the Christian Advocate also gives the 28 May 1892 date. R‑38 believes the tombstone was erected at a later date and the 1892 date is probably correct.
[14] Her name is given as Louise Harber by R‑38.
[15] Her middle initial was M according to R‑51.
[16] Choate is pronounced "Shoate".
[17] Both the 1850 and 1860 censuses for Richland Twp., Vinton Co., OH, indicate she was born about 1823. However, the marriage date of her parents is supposedly 1825, and some of the other exact dates in this part of the family disagree with the approximate census dates by up to several years, so there is some question about her date of birth.
[18]Although one source (R-3) said he served in the Civil War, that seems unlikely.
[19]According to R-19
[20] R-24 gave Anna's middle initial as E. and R-105 gave it as R.
[21] R-24 gives her date of birth as June 1837 and her death date as 17 July 1880. R-105 gave 11 March 1837 for birth and 23 July 1880 for death.
[22] R-24 gave his mother as Charity Francis (2nd wife) and R-105 gave her as Dorothy Hammer.
[23] Barbara’s date of birth and marriage confirmed by the 1900 census.
[24] Although he was called Addison in census records, he is shown as J. Addison and Jos. A. on many documents.
[25] All this information from census records.
[26] R-106 gave his name as Benjamin Franklin Graves.
[27] R-23 gives his date of birth as 1849.
[28]R-20 gives her name as Elizabeth, but it was given as Anna by R-106.
[29]R-20 gave this marriage date as 13 Sept. 1879, but this seems unlikely, considering that all 3 children were born before that date.
[30]This date doesn’t seem correct, since it sounds as if it was taken from his obituary, and he died after April 4.
