DESCENDANTS OF BACHELOR/BARTLETT GRAVES AND RHODA CLAY OF VA AND WILSON CO., TN.

 

 

GENERATION 1

 

Bachelor Graves (1) was born about 1760 in Halifax Co., Va., died 31 March 1827, intestate, in Wilson Co., Tenn., and was buried on the family farm in Wilson Co. According to a 1958 letter from Dixon Merritt to William F. Graves, Bachelor was buried "on a hilltop on what is now the Joe N. and J. T. Arrington farm" in Wilson Co.

It is suspected that the name Bachelor was a nickname, and that his given name was Bartlett and his middle name may have been Bartholomew.  One of his sons was also known as Bachelor (or Bacheldor or Batchler), but Dixon Merritt (see below) also identified him as Bartholomew and Bartlett, Jr.

Documentation for Bachelor (Sr.) places him in Halifax Co., Va. in 1801, 1804, and 1806.  One of the Bartlett Graves in the 1820 census of Wilson Co., Tenn. is probably him.  He was a farmer.

Bachelor married Rhoda Clay, and their marriage bond was dated 28 Oct. 1784 in Amelia Co., Va.  She was born about 1864 in Va., and died 22 March 1829 in Wilson Co., Tenn.  She was probably a daughter of Thomas Clay and Ann Powell.  This link is established primarily on the basis that a Bachelder Graves was a bondsman for Dicey Clay who married Charles Dunaway in Jan. 1790 in Amelia Co., Va.  Since Dicey was under legal age, Ann Clay signed her consent to the marriage.

If one accepts these relationships, then Rhoda's lineage can be traced back 6 generations to the immigrant Clay (John, born about 1592 in England, came to Va. prior to 1616, probably aboard the ship Treasurer).  However, some of the documentation proving the posited lineage may not be of the highest quality.

Mr. Dixon Merritt, deceased, a respected Tenn. newspaperman, historian and genealogist of Wilson Co., Tenn., wrote in 1958 as follows: "Bartlett Graves I was born in Halifax Co., Va., but we don't know just where. On Oct. 22, 1784, he married Rhoda Clay of Amelia Co., Va.  About 1805 they moved to Wilson Co., Tenn., and settled on Spring Creek in what we now call the Greenwood community.  There they lived, reared their family, and died.  They are buried on top of a hill on what is now the Joe N. and J. T. Arrington farm."  Bartlett (or Bachelor) was apparently a good friend of Dixon Merritt's great-grandfather, James Merritt.

James Merritt did not go to Wilson Co., Tenn.  He died in 1797 in Moore Co., N.C.  His widow, Nancy Merritt, their children and their families went to Wilson Co. in 1805.  The Clemmons family also went to Wilson Co. in 1805.  Since Nancy Merritt and Martha Clemmons were sisters, Mrs. Thelma Landrum believes they all moved together.

There is not good documentation for any of the children of Bachelor and Rhoda.  Bartlett Jr. has been assumed because of Dixon Merritt's statements, name similarity, and proximity.  Mary is considered a child mainly because of the bondsman relationship to Bachelor. As regards Asa and Joel, they were present at the estate sale of both Bachelor and Rhoda, and bought items, as did Bachelor (Bacheldor) and a Lorenzo D. Graves.  If we assume Asa and Joel to be the children of Bachelor and Rhoda on the rather thin evidence of the estate sales, then perhaps Lorenzo D. should also be considered a son. He married Jane Alexander on 9 March 1829 in Wilson Co., Tenn.

In the 1870 census of Collin Co., Texas, there is a Joseph Graves, farm laborer, listed in the Lorenzo James Graves household.  His age is given as 66 and place of birth as Va.  There is no other known record of this Joseph Graves in Texas.  As further evidence that he may be a son of Bartlett and Rhoda, in the Tennessee Civil War Veterans Questionnaires, p. 1870, Benjamin Dugger Rogers (grandson of Sally Smith (Graves) Rogers) states that "My great uncles Joseph and Bartlett Graves also served with General Jackson in all his campaigns."  There is documentation that Bartlett served in the War of 1812, but not under General Jackson.  However, similar documentation for Joseph's service has not been found. (R‑1, R‑6)

GENERATION 2

 

CHILDREN OF BACHELOR GRAVES (1) AND RHODA CLAY

Bartlett (or Bachelor) Graves, Jr. (3) was born in 1790 in VA, probably in Amelia Co., died 19 June 1871 in Wilson Co., TN, and was buried on the Obediah Merritt farm in Wilson Co.  He was a farmer, and was in the War of 1812.  He married Nancy Ann Ferrington, daughter of John Ferrington of Wilson Co., TN, on 2 June 1816 in Lebanon (?), Wilson Co., TN. Bondsman was James Bradon.  She was born 1798 in N.C., and died 15 Oct. 1876 in Wilson Co., Tenn.  (Death date and age of 78 at death from old Bible.)  She may have been buried in the Rutland Church Cem., Wilson Co., Tenn. All their children were born in Wilson Co., Tenn.

Some of the Merritts think Nancy Ferrington's name was spelled Farrington.  A James Merritt married a Sallie Farrington.  It is also claimed that NancyÕs father was Jehu Farrington[1].

From History of Wilson County, edited by Dixon Merritt, p. 302: "Bartlett (or Batchelor, as he was sometimes known) Graves entered the military service June 23, 1812, two days after Phillips got to Nashville and gave his message to Governor Blount.  Graves thereby ....

Unlike most Wilson County soldiers of this war, Bartlett Graves did not serve with Jackson in the South, but with William Henry Harrison in the Northwest.  His record shows him to have been a fife major in the 24th Regular United States Infantry.  He was discharged at Louisville, Ky., Dec. 27, 1813."

From p. 321 of the same book, following a description of a company of Confederate soldiers being readied for service at Lebanon, Tenn. about 1862: "Piping the boys in grey off to war was Bartlett (Batchelor) Graves, soldier of the War of 1812, over 70, and without a tooth in his head, but still ready to do his part."

In addition to the children listed below, there may also have been another daughter who married Jack Donelson.  (R‑1, R‑2, R‑7)

Children - Graves

+13.  Lorenzo James Graves, b. 17 Nov. 1818, m. Mary Thompson Merritt, 27 Jan. 1842, d. 1 Sept. 1886.

+14.  Lourane E. Graves, b. 17 Nov. 1820, m. Green B. Merritt, 19 Sept. 1839, d. Nov. 1879.

  15.  Martha Abegail (or Abigail?) Graves, m. William Donaldson (or Donelson), 24 June 1844 (Wilson Co., TN).

  16.  Mary ("Polly") Graves, b. 1828 (?), m. Lonsdale Graves.

+17.  Esther Caroline Graves, b. 13 Feb. 1829, m. Thomas Tuggle Alloway, 1 June 1849, d. 9 Feb. 1909.

+18.  Elvina Graves, b.c. 1830, m(1) John Drennon, 12 July 1848, m(2) Dick Martin.

  19.  Nancy Emmeline Graves, b.c. 1835-38, never married.

  20.  Bartlett Houston (called Houston or "Sam") Graves, b.c. 1841, d. Texas.

+21.  Reuben Monroe Graves, b. 4 Feb. 1845, m. Mary Ann Frances Reed, 7 Oct. 1866, d. 28 March 1919.

 

Sarah (ÒSallieÓ) Smith Graves (4) was born 12 March 1793 in Halifax Co., VA (or possibly in KY or TN), and died 26 May 1871 in Wilson Co., TN.  She married Henry Harper Rogers, son of George Rogers and Frances ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 30 Oct. 1811 in Lebanon, Wilson Co., Tenn. (according to Wilson Co. records on LDS microfilm).  John Ferrington was bondsman.  (Could he have been a brother of Nancy Ferrington who married Bartlett Graves, Jr., brother of Sallie?)  Henry Rogers was born 29 Aug. 1788 in Chatham Co., NC, and died 2 Feb. 1843 in Wilson Co., TN.

Their marriage record seems to show that her maiden name was either Graves and she first married a Mr. Jones or her maiden name was Jones and she first married a Mr. Graves.  This raises the possibility that she was the Sally Jones who married Asa Graves in 1824.  That does not seem possible if her marriage to Henry Rogers was in 1811.  Also, her birthdate of 1793 makes her only 18 when she was married in 1811, not giving her much time for a prior marriage.  More evidence is needed to sort out the possibilities.  If she was born Sallie (or Sally) Jones, then she wasn't a Graves at all, and her children by Henry Rogers would not have been Graves descendants.

All the children were born in Wilson Co., TN.  (R‑5, R‑10)

Children - Rogers

  22.  George Washington Rogers, b. 21 Oct. 1812, d. 25 April 1880.

  23.  James Braden Rogers, b. 8 Feb. 1814, m. Mary Ann Prim, 3 Oct. 1839 (Wilson Co., TN, W. B. Tarvee, J.P., G. W. Rogers, bondsman).  James may have moved to KY and may have been a sheriff in TN.  He may have first married Frances Bagby.

  24.  Louisa Harriet Rogers, b. 10 Jan. 1816, m(1) Tobias Henderson Chandler, 1 (or 2) Jan. 1840 (Wilson Co., TN, A. H. Russell, bondsman), m(2) John Oglesby, Oct. 1858 (Salem, IL), d. Feb. 1891 (Salem, IL).  Tobias was b. 6 March 1816 in Wilson Co., TN, and d.c. 1846 in Marion co., IL, son of Eddins Chandler and Huldy Sherrill.  John Oglesby d. Feb. 1897 in Salem, Marion Co., IL.

+25.  Asa Graves Rogers, b. 22 Jan. 1818, m. Sarah Ann Paulina Chandler, 1 Jan. 1840, d. 18 Dec. 1893.

Asa Graves (5) was born about 1796 in VA, and died after 1870 in TN (since he was in the 1870 census).  He married Sally Jones on 23 (or 22) Sept. 1824 in Wilson Co., TN.  She died before 1850 in TN.  He was in the 1850 census for Wilson Co., TN.  Louisa Chandler, age 35, with two sons was living with him; she was a daughter of his sister Sallie.  Living next door was Lorenzo Graves, age 32, son of AsaÕs brother Bartlett.  He was in the 1860 census for Wilson Co., TN, living with his son William.  He was in the 1870 census for Wilson Co., TN, as head of household, with his son WilliamÕs widow and 2 children living with him.  He has not been found in the 1880 census.  All the children of Asa and Sally were born in TN.  (R‑10)

Children - Graves

  29.  Riley Graves (?), not in 1850 census for Wilson Co., TN.  Listed as a son by R‑10.  There was a Riley Graves, b.c. 1828, in Blount Co., TN in 1850, but it seems unlikely that he was of this family.  Perhaps son James R. Graves was called Riley.

+30.  Francis M. Graves, b.c. 1830, m. Angeline ‑‑‑‑‑‑, prob. d. 1860-1870.

  31.  James R. Graves, b.c. 1833.

+32.  William H. Graves, b.c. 1837, m. Mary E. ‑‑‑‑‑‑, prob. d. 1860-1870.

 

Nancy Graves (6) was born about 1798 in VA.  She married Henry Mitchell on 22 Dec. 1819 in Wilson Co., TN.  They were in the 1850 census for Lebanon, Wilson Co., TN.  All their children were born in Wilson Co.  (R‑2)

Children - Mitchell

  33.  Lorenzo M. Mitchell, b.c. 1832.

  34.  Matilda Mitchell, b.c. 1833.

  35.  Jessee C. C. Mitchell, b.c. 1837.

 

Jane ("Jinsey") Graves (7) was born about 1801 in VA.  She married Richard Jones on 2 Oct. 1823 in Wilson Co., TN.  He was born about 1800 in TN.  They were in the 1850 census for Wilson Co., TN.  All their children were born in Wilson Co.  (R‑2)

Children - Jones

  36.  child

  37.  Edward Jones, b. 1828.

  38.  William Jones, b. 1831.

  39.  Louisa Jones, b. 1834.

  40.  Lorenzo Jones, b. 1837.

  41.  Francina Jones, b. 1840.

  42.  James Jones, b. 1841.

 

Joel Graves (8) was born in 1803 in Va., and died about 1870 in Wilson Co., Tenn.  He married Elizabeth (perhaps Prior) about 1825.  (In the Marriages of Wilson Co., Tenn., 1802-1850, on p. 150, is listed the marriage of Joseph Graves and Elizabeth Prior, 22 Feb. 1837, by Thomas Davis, J.P., Burrell Reaves, BM.  Could this Joseph have been Joel's brother?)  Elizabeth was born in 1810 in Tenn., and her death date is unknown.  Based on the 1850 census for Wilson Co., Tenn., all their children were born in Tenn.

In the 1850 census for Wilson Co., there is a Joel F. Graves listed as 23 years old (b.c. 1827), born in Tenn. It is possible that he is also a son of Joel and Elizabeth Graves.

Neither Joel nor Joel F. Graves have been found in the Wilson Co., Tenn. census for 1870.  In the 1880 census, Joel T. Graves, 76 years old, is listed in the household of S. W. Graves, 42 years of age, born in Tenn. and a farmer.  Joel is listed as father of S. W. Graves, and born in Va.  (This certainly appears to be Joel Graves in 1880 living in the household of his son Samuel W. Graves. If so, Joel obviously didn't die about 1870, but rather after 1880.)  (R‑1)

Children - Graves

  43.  Elizabeth Graves, b.c. 1829.

GENERATION 3

 

CHILDREN OF BARTLETT GRAVES, JR. (3) AND NANCY FERRINGTON

Lorenzo James Graves (13) was born 17 Nov. 1818 in Wilson Co., Tenn., and died 1 Sept. 1886 in McKinney, Collin Co., Texas.  He was a farmer.  He married Mary Thompson ("Polly") Merritt, daughter of Obadiah Merritt and Priscilla Clemmons, on 27 Jan. 1842 in Wilson Co., Tenn. She was born 22 Sept. 1822 in Tenn., and died 31 July 1898 in McKinney, Collin Co., Texas.

Lorenzo and Polly were buried initially in O'Brien Cem., Buckner, Texas (now extinct).  The cemetery was in very poor condition, with no fence, pasture land with many goats, rooting hogs and cattle, and the headstone had been knocked over.  Because of this situation, the headstone and the remains that could be found were moved in Feb. 1985 to Melissa Cem. (approx. 5 miles north of McKinney and 1 mile west of Melissa, Texas), where there is perpetual care.

The story of the trek to Texas from Wilson Co., Tenn. by Lorenzo J. Graves and his family is not recorded in family lore, so the exact date is uncertain.  However, from an analysis of birth and marriage dates, it was probably in the late 1860's.

The following children almost certainly made that trip: John Willis, Amanda, Mary Jane, Benjamin, Susan, Rufus, and Samuel Houston.  It seems reasonable that because of their ages and marriageable status, the other (older) children did not make the trip.

They were in the 1850 census for Wilson Co., TN, living next to his uncle Asa Graves.

All the children of Lorenzo and Polly were born in Wilson Co., Tenn.  (R‑1, R‑2)

Lourane E. (or Louraney) Graves (14) was born 17 Nov. 1820, died in Nov. 1879, and was buried on the family farm, all in Wilson Co., Tenn.  She married Green B. Merritt, son of Obediah Merritt and Priscilla Clemmons, on 19 Sept. 1839 in Wilson Co.  Although Obediah signed his name Obadiah, everyone else spelled it Obediah (with an "e").  He was born 9 Sept. 1814 and died 22 April 1907, both in Wilson Co.  He was a farmer and had land in Dist. 21, and she was a homemaker.

His house was still standing in 1989 and was in good condition.  His grandson, Dixon Merritt, lived in it for many years.  Green and Louraney were buried in a family cemetery on their home place.  All their children were born in Wilson Co.

Much information was provided by Mrs. Thelma C. Landrum.  Priscilla Clemmons was a sister of her g-g-grandfather, James Clemmons, and Obediah Merritt was a brother of her g-g-g-grandmother, Mollie Merritt Caraway.  She has written a book on the Clemmons family.  Priscilla was a daughter of Samuel Thompson Clemmons and Martha Coggin.  (R‑1, R‑6, R‑7)

Samuel enlisted in Co. D, 7th Tenn. Infantry, CSA, on 20 May 1861 and took part in several major Civil War engagements, including Seven Pines, Mechanicsville, Gaines Mill, Cold Harbour, 2nd Manassas, and Gettysburg. He was wounded in the left foot at the Battle of 2nd Manassas.  At the close of the war he was paroled at Appomattox Courthouse in April 1865 and returned to Wilson Co., Tenn. in Aug. 1865.  He applied to the State of Tenn. for a veteran's pension on 24 July 1909, which evidently was granted, since in 1919 he stated, under oath, that he was eligible for an increase of $5.00 per month in his pension (Tenn. State Library Archives, roll 80, no. 11403).

Esther Caroline Graves (59) was born 29 July 1847 in Wilson Co., Tenn., and died 22 Sept. 1891.  She married James R. Shorter, brother of William B. Shorter who married her sister Martha, and son of James Shorter and Martha P. Wyoone, on 19 Sept. 1867 in Wilson Co., Tenn. Some of the information on this family is from the Bible and the 1880 census for Dist. 10, Lebanon, Wilson Co., Tenn.  All their children were born in Wilson Co., the last 2 in Lebanon.

According to The Goodspeed Histories of Maury, Williamson, Rutherford, Wilson, Bedford and Marshall Counties of Tenn., in the Wilson Co. section, "J. R. Shorter, proprietor of a livery and feed stable, at Lebanon, Tenn., was born in Wilson Co. in 1845, and is a son of James and Martha P. (Wyoone) Shorter, who were of Irish descent, born in Tenn. in 1815 and 1819 respectively.  They were married about 1836, and tilled a farm of 200 acres until 1858, when they purchased a 150-acre farm.  Here the father died in 1860, and the mother in Aug. 1884.  Our subject only attended school about three months during his life.  Sept. 19, 1867, he led to Hymen's altar Easter C. Graves, daughter of Lorenzo J. and Mary Graves.  Mr. and Mrs. Shorter have three children: Lorenzo J., Susie and Robert.  In 1869 Mr. Shorter came to Lebanon and established a retail liquor store, but in 1871 bought a family grocery store, continuing three years.  He then farmed three years, and in 1877 returned to Lebanon, and with W. G. Swindell began keeping a livery and feed stable.  A year later Samuel Golliday purchased Mr. Swindell's interest, and he in turn was bought out by J. W. Hamilton.  Since 1883 Mr. Shorter has carried on the business alone.  He keeps ten horses, nine single and six double vehicles, and runs a buss to each train, and has met with merited success.  He is a member of the K. of H. and K. of P., and he and his wife are members of the Baptist Church."  (R‑2)

John Willis Graves (60) was born 17 April 1849 in Wilson Co., Tenn., died 23 Nov. 1874, and was buried in Lost Creek (Hogg) Cem., about 20 miles north of Brownwood, Brown Co., Texas, near Byrd, Texas and Lake Brownwood. He was a farmer.

He was long somewhat of a mystery to his descendants. The family was unanimous that he had died young and under unusual circumstances.  One of the family tales stated that he had helped move a family to Brownwood, Texas, and that he had died in an accident.  No one knew where he was buried, and not until the spring of 1984 was it established that he was interred at Lost Creek Cem., Brown Co.  Marguerite Nichols, his great-granddaughter, assisted by her aunt, Mary Mowdy, his granddaughter, and by Naomi King, his great-granddaughter, found his grave.

Also in 1984, a venerable Brown Co. resident told Marguerite Nichols that he had heard from David P. Mallone (brother-in-law of John Willis Graves) that John had died of an accidental self-inflicted gunshot wound. The accident occurred when John was cleaning his gun in preparation for his return trip to Collin Co.

He married Nancy Jane Byrd, daughter of Charles Byrd (born in Tenn.) and Mary Buhl (born in Mo.), on 23 Aug. 1870 in Collin Co., Texas.  She was born 28 July 1850 in Mo., died 28 Aug. 1933 in Melissa, Collin Co., Texas, and was buried 29 Aug. 1933 in Highland Cem., between Melissa and Anna, Collin Co., Texas.  She married three times after John's death, first to Dennis Callahan.  They were divorced in 1881.  She secondly married Gerard Leigh on 22 July 1881.  He died in 1882.  She then married R. P. Willock in 1888.  This marriage was annulled in 1896. All children listed below were born in Melissa, Texas.  (R‑1, R‑2)
