JOHN GRAVES

1635 Settler of Concord, MA

and His Descendants

GENERATION 1

John Graves (1) was born in England about 1605. It is claimed that he was christened in the Parish of Beeley in Derbyshire, and that he died in 1704 in CT; however, the evidence for both these claims is unknown or nonexistent and therefore the claims (especially for the place of christening) are suspect.

John Graves came to America with his wife in 1635 and settled in Concord, MA. He belonged to the church where Rev. Peter Bulkeley (sometimes spelled Bulkley) was a teacher. He was one of the signers of the petition to the General Court of Massachusetts in 1643 in favor of Ambrose Martin, and in 1644 his name was attached to a document pledging its signers, which included nearly every head of a family in Concord, to the support of the government.

It has also been said that he was master of the "Tryall”, the first ship built in America, in 1648; however, that is not correct. It was Thomas Graves of Charlestown, MA, later Rear Admiral, who was master of the Tryall.

It has been stated by one source (R‑20) that John Graves’ wife was named Joan. R‑62 gives her name as Joan/Ann Bird, and that her father was George Bird. It is also said that he moved to Connecticut where he died in 1704.

It was stated by genealogist John Card Graves, a descendant of John Graves of Concord, that John Graves was a brother of Deacon George Graves of Hartford, CT, and that their sister Sarah married Richard Lord of New London, CT. They were related to widow Ann Graves of Great Minores St., St. Botolph Parish, Aldgate (or Olgate), London, England, who by will proven 20 March 1676 gave annuities to the children of Deacon George in case of failure of issue to her grandson Joseph Hardey.

It seems likely that John Graves and George Graves were brothers, since DNA analyses of their descendants show that they share a common ancestor, although that doesn’t prove that they were brothers rather than cousins.

Another part of the “proof” for John Graves being a brother of Deacon George Graves is a letter dated 27 Feb. 1675 from an aunt, Anna Graves of London, to John Graves of Guilford, CT. She wrote that she was 92 at that time and her only daughter had died Nov. 1674. Based on the present evidence, it seems likely that Anna Graves was a sister-in-law of Deacon George Graves. There is also the possibility that Anna and Ann Graves were the same person. Research needs to be done in London records to further establish the facts.

The reason this letter was cited as proof is that the date was misread as 1645. The letter is actually written to John Graves, son of Deacon George Graves, and not to John Graves of Concord. To establish this, the author examined a photocopy of the actual letter and saw the envelope which is addressed to John Graves of Guilford, CT, and not John of Concord. The brother George mentioned in the letter is not the immigrant Deacon George Graves, but the son of George. This letter and several others were stored in a bank vault in Madison, CT in 1990, and copies were in the possession of members of "The Deacon John Graves Foundation, Inc." located in Madison. The text of the letter is as follows:

"London, Febr'y the 27, 1675 Couzen John Graves in New England

My kind love to your wife and children. Hoping yt these few lines will find you well as I pray ye Lord left me, in considering my age. Couzen having an oportunity of sending caused me to write this being the sixth letter to you since I received yours yt some of those may come safe to yr hand and to inform you yt hath pleased God to take away from me unto himself my deare and only daughter which is a great greafe and heavy burden to me in my great age [93] but considering whither she has gone I am satisfied. She departed this life ye 21st day of ye last November 1674. She had a great desire to hear from you before she died and if she had she would a remembered you at her death. And now couzen I am of great age and cannot expect to live long but have made my will and have left £50 among you as a token of my remembrance after I am dead. I have left £10 to yrself, £10 to yr brother George and yr sister £10 which is £30. The £20 remainder for yr children. If it shd please ye Lord to take me out of this world before ye letter comes I have left to good bondsmen over here in trust my will.

Your loving Aunt till death.

Anna Graves"

It is possible that John Graves was from Kent, England, since many of the early settlers of Concord were. However, according to Concord, Climate for Freedom, by Ruth B. Wheeler, the places in England from which they came were widely scattered. Hartwell, Bulkeley, and Wheeler were from Bedfordshire; Willard, Stow and Hosmer from Kent; Flint and Wood from Derbyshire; Hunt and Heaward from Yorkshire; and Heald from Northumberland. William Butrick came from Surrey; Edward Wright from Stafford; and Thomas Brown from Lavenham, Sussex.

Concord was the first town carved out of the wilderness. Every other town in America had been close to the ocean or a tidal river, where goods could be transported by boat and natural features would mark the bounds with a minimum of exploration.

There was a constant shift in the population of Concord as newly-arrived immigrants came, stayed a while, then went to Connecticut or returned to the coastal towns, where those with a trade but no knowledge of farming could hope to make a living. Almost every deed to land in Concord listed the buyer as yeoman, except for the few gentlemen, whereas in coastal towns like Charlestown the identifying word would be that of a trade: glover, tanner, brickmaker, mason, etc.

In 1644 there was a split in the church at Concord. John Jones (the other minister in addition to Peter Bulkeley) took his family and 15 Concord men to Fairfield, CT, on Long Island Sound.

The early records of Concord (including land transactions) were largely lost. The town voted in 1664 to order a new leather-bound book and that “... what is useful in the old book be transcribed in the new.” Unfortunately, only a few items were considered worthy.

In addition to the children listed below, one source (R‑20) stated that there was a son Abraham who married Ann Hayward. (R‑62, R‑82, R‑500, R‑503)

GENERATION 2

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (1)

Benjamin Graves (2) was born 3 March 1645 in Concord, MA, and died before 23 March 1724 (d. 18 March 1715, in Concord, according to R‑39). He married Mary Hoar, daughter of John Hoar and Alice ‑‑‑‑‑‑ (possibly Lisle) of Concord, on 21 Oct. 1668 (Concord Register, Book Y; see Appendix for her Hoar ancestry). He was in the Colonial Wars as a member of Captain Thomas Wheeler's Company and fought against the Indians in July and August 1675. It is also noted that he was a soldier in King Philip’s War in Captain Wheeler’s Company and was in fights at Wicnaboag Pond and Brookfield, on 16 Aug. 1675. He served in Groton in Feb. 1675-1676, and his name appears again on the payroll 24 Aug. 1676.

He and his brother John Graves of Sudbury, MA, with others, purchased on 20 May 1681 from Christopher Hall "all the mines and minerals of one kind or another found or to be found or that may be found on his land in Groton, MA at a place called Cold Spring near William Longby's house, with liberty to dig, delve or use the land and to erect buildings etc." Benjamin Graves did not move to Groton but continued to live at Concord until after 1681, and all his children except the last one were born at Concord (according to Concord Register, Book 1).

Benjamin was apparently still living in Concord in 1684, since on a list of the second order of proprietors (in 1745) is included “David Comee, then living where Benjamin Graves lived in the year 1684.”

He moved to Saybrook, CT and lived at Pattaconke (northern part of Saybrook), where he bought land 25 Jan. 1703. He deeded half of his farm to his son Joseph on 18 March 1715, and certain lands to his son John of Killingworth, CT on 14 Sept. 1716.

The following records were found regarding Benjamin:

November 4, 1716, Benjamin Graves, yeoman, for love and good will to loving son John, now resident of Killingworth, amessuage or tenement at Pottaconk, with all the buildings, etc., bounded westerly by land of Joseph Graves, it being understood that Benjamin is to retain the life use of the same. (John sold the property in 1724.)

March 18, 1715, Benjamin Graves for love and affection to son Joseph deeded one-half the farm where I now dwell the westerly half (R-9).

Old Saybrook was divided into three parts. The northern part was called Pattaconke (also spelled Pataconke and Pattaquonck). "The committee for highway improvements were to lay out a good and sufficient highway to the 'Great River' at the northward side of ye land formerly owned by Benjamin Graves in Pattaconke", action taken at Saybrook, 5 Jan. 1724/5.

Old Saybrook is on the south shore of Connecticut, on Long Island Sound, at the mouth of the Connecticut River. Pattaconke was about 7 miles north of the mouth of the Connecticut River when a part of Saybrook. It is now the town of Chester, CT.

Killingworth is about 5 miles west of Chester, and was originally a part of Clinton, CT until 1836. Clinton is on the south shore of Connecticut about 5 miles south of Killingworth, CT. The land in this area is hilly and rolling, with forests. The births of all the children except John were recorded in Concord Register, Book 1. (R‑1, R‑20, R‑39, R‑62, R‑82, R‑500)

Benjamin Graves (8) was born 2 March 1676/7 in Concord, MA, and died 30 Dec. 1752 in Colchester, New London, CT, leaving a will. He went with his father who settled in Saybrook, CT about 1681-1683 (or about 1700?). He was described as a resident of New London, CT in a deed to him of lands he purchased in Colchester, CT in 1709. He was admitted inhabitant of Colchester at a town meeting on 8 Jan. 1716. He was chosen lister at town meeting on 11 Dec. 1727.

He married Ruth Stirling (or Mary Sterling), daughter of William Stirling and Mary Blaisdell, in 1698. Ruth was born 17 Dec. 1679, and died in 1710 (see Stirling Genealogy). He married second Mary Haynes. She was born about 1690 in Colchester, CT, and died 24 Nov. 1780. They lived two and a half miles from Colchester on the road to Lyme, CT. They owned the Covenant at Lyme, CT.

The children by Benjamin's second marriage who were baptized 1741-1749 were apparently baptized as adults, since marriage dates were soon after baptismal dates.

The following will of Benjamin Graves was probated 5 May 1753:

“In the name of God Amen. This 11th day of December A.D. 1752 and ye 21st year of ye reign of our Sovereign Lord George of Great Britain &c the King.

Joseph Graves (9) was born 1 Sept. 1679 in Concord, MA, and died after 2 April 1756. He married Sarah ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She died 16 March 1751. Joseph went with his father to Saybrook, CT about 1700 and bought and sold land there as late as 1735. He next appeared as a resident of New Cambridge, a part of Farmington, CT, in 1743. He owned land there and in a part of Waterbury, CT that later became Plymouth. He was described as "dish-turner" (presumably he was a potter). Abraham Waterous bought land of Joseph Graves at Pattaconke.

According to History of Middlesex Co., Conn., 1635-1885: "The highway from the head of the cove, running north past the town house was probably the first road laid out in Pattaconke.

The Wig Hill Road running from the town house over the hill past Cedar Swamp Pond and northerly by the pond was laid out in 1735, 1736, and 1737 by Samuel Jones, Abraham Waterhouse, Samuel Willard, John Graves, John Whittlesey, and Samuel Lord." In 1953 it was Liberty St. and Wig Hill Road. In 1976 it was Main St., High St., and Ridge Rd. (R‑1, R‑500)

He married Hannah Farnum, daughter of Sergeant Peter Farnum and Hannah Wilcoxen of Killingworth, CT, on 30 May 1710 in Killingworth (see Killingworth Vital Records, vol. 2, p. 192). She was born 23 Aug. 1691 in Killingworth, CT. They first lived in Killingworth, but then moved back to Saybrook, CT about 1724. He was described as a cordwainer and was a deacon in his church. Lands were laid out to John Graves in Saybrook on 3 Jan. 1720, May 1737, 26 Jan. 1728/9, and 14 April 1742.

He was christened 15 May 1709 in the First Church of Christ, New London, CT. He married Jerusha Ackley, daughter of Samuel Ackley of East Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT, in 1728.

Jedediah lived in East Haddam as early as 1723 when he bought ten acres of land from Thomas Crippen and bought and sold land there at least up until 1752, when he moved to New Fairfield (now Sherman), CT, where he lived until his death.

The History of Warren County[6] describes Queensbury, NY, and how the land was given by King George III by land patents. Jedediah was among twenty three petitioners receiving land patents on 29 May 1762. It states that the men who applied for the patents were “men of influence,” and “lent their names to secure the grant for the benefit of the actual settlers.” The area was named Queensbury to honor the King’s new wife. Jedediah was one of the first land holders in that town. He did not settle on the land himself, but was the owner of the land, about 1,000 acres. Allen Graves’ (#133) name is on the Warren Co. records as selling the land some years later.

He was a stalwart and prosperous man, much respected by all who knew him. His will, which follows, specified the distribution of his property, and was admitted to probate in Dec. 1800.

CHILDREN OF JOSEPH GRAVES (9) AND SARAH ‑‑‑‑‑‑

Benjamin Graves (59) was born about 1720 in Saybrook, Middlesex Co., CT. He went with his father to New Cambridge (a part of Farmington), CT about 1743. His father and brother Joshua deeded to him certain lands in New Cambridge on 19 May 1749, which he held and paid taxes on in 1750 and 1751, and sold to Joseph Hodgkins and Joseph Gaylord in the fall of 1751.

He was living in Salisbury, CT in 1788, where his daughter Rebecca died. She was buried in the same lot as child George Marsh. Certain properties were deeded to him on 27 May 1789, which he conveyed the same day for same consideration to George Marsh individually. For these reasons, it is supposed that he married into the Marsh family, probably marrying Katherine Marsh, but that has not been definitely ascertained. (R‑104, R‑500)

Joshua Graves (60) was born in 1723 in Saybrook, Middlesex Co., CT, and died 23 Aug. 1803 at Salisbury, Addison Co., VT in his 80th year. He married Rhoda Bronson, daughter of Lieutenant John Bronson and Comfort Baldwin, on 5 April 1750. She was born 30 March 1729 and died 16 Sept. 1807. He moved with his father from Saybrook to New Cambridge (a part of Farmington, CT) about 1743. He bought and sold property in New Cambridge and vicinity and was taxed in that town from 1748 to 1761. In 1764 he describes himself as of Sharon, CT.

He moved to Vermont and first settled in Arlington, but went with his son Jesse to Salisbury and "pitched" a hundred acre farm where his descendant Columbus Smith (#1686) subsequently lived in the spring of 1774. They built a log house and cleared and planted a few acres of land, the first clearing for agricultural purposes in Salisbury. He brought his family to Salisbury in 1775, but his house was burned by the Indians in the spring of 1776. He built another that same year and his family returned to it in the spring of 1777.

He and one of his sons were captured by Indians in June 1777 and taken to Montreal but were released to the British as they were engaged in peaceful pursuits when captured. The family then retired to Rutland, VT, remained there until the close of the Rev. War, and returned to their home in Salisbury in 1783. That year he built the first framed barn in Salisbury. He was exempted from military and jury duty because of his deafness. Four of his sons, Jesse, Simeon, Chauncey, and Asa, are all listed on the rolls of those serving in the militia in defense of the frontier area north of Rutland, and the first three received pensions in their old age.

History of Salisbury, Vermont, by John M. Weeks, pub. in 1860, gives the following account of their capture:

“After the commencement of the revolutionary war, Joshua Graves moved back as far as Rutland, but remained there but a short time before he and his boys returned to their farm in Salisbury again, (this was in the summer of 1776), and built another house in the place of the one destroyed by the Indians, harvested their wheat which had been sown the year before, prepared their land and sowed another crop, and in September, returned again to their family in Rutland.

Mr. Graves, not regarding this hazardous experiment of settling a new country in time of war, moved his family again to his farm, early in the spring of 1777, with the intention of making a permanent settlement. He planted corn on the interval land near Otter creek, and while hoeing it one day, sometime in the month of June of that year (we have the story from the mouth of Jesse Graves), he and his boys suddenly discovered a large party of Indians coming upon them from the north. It would have been an easy matter to conceal themselves, if they had had a minute's notice of the approach of the enemy, but being occupied with their work, and their sight being intercepted by the woods on the north, before they were aware of it, the Indians were close upon them, some approaching by land, but the greater number by bark canoes in the creek. There was a boy at work with them, about fourteen years old, who started to run, but Mr. Graves ordered him to stop, as the savages would be more apt to shoot him while endeavoring to make his escape.

The Indians soon came up and ordered them all, Joshua Graves, Jesse Graves and the boy, to give up their work and go along with them. So they all went on together up the creek, and stopped over night on the farm now called the Kelsey place. Here the Indians found a pair of oxen, and butchered one of them to provide their evening and morning meal. From this place they passed up the creek and made a halt at the house of Jeremiah Parker, who then lived on the farm now (in 1860) owned by Ebenezer Jenny. On looking over Mr. Parker’s house, the Indians found a quantity of maple sugar, about two hundred pounds, which they took out of doors, and, having assembled around it, held what they called a “pow-wow.”

The party being large, numbering about two hundred and fifty, the sugar was nearly exhausted in eating and wasting, before the journey was resumed. Nothing was taken from Mr. Parker except the sugar, and his house was left without having suffered any damage…

Having regaled themselves at Mr. Parker’s expense, the Indians made a captive of him, and all set out for the south, no one of the captives knowing for what they were taken, or where they were going. They soon arrived at Neshobe, (Brandon), where they were placed under the care of an Indian guard, and conducted to Lake Champlain, near Ticonderoga, where they, together with a part of the guard, were placed on board a British vessel and taken to Montreal.

Here the Indians demanded of the chief officer of the British forces at that place, the bounty for “rebel heads;” but the officers, after examining the case, found that these men had been taken by the Indians while in the quiet and peaceable prosecution of their labors as farmers, and decided that the prisoners ought to be allowed to return to their homes. This decision caused a good deal of murmuring on the part of the Indians, who thought they ought at least be permitted to take the scalps of their captives as reward for their trouble.

The prisoners, being released, were allowed to find their way back to their families the best way they could, which they did after a long and tedious journey, having been absent about three weeks.

These Indians treated their prisoners well while they had charge of them, imposing no burdensom tasks upon them, and allowing them the same rations as themselves, which consisted of one tablespoonful, daily, of pounded parched corn.

This was all the food the prisoners or the Indians had, with the exception of what they so unceremoniously took just as they started, until they were placed on board the vessel, when the officers in the British command gave them a more generous diet.

So far as these men traveled with this party of Indians, they could discover no indication that this excursion was made for the sake of booty or mischief; the Indians burnt no houses, nor did they maliciously destroy any property nor steal or pillage anything, except what they wanted to eat.

After learning the character and disposition of the red men of Vermont, the Messrs. Graves concluded that settling a new country in time of war was too hazardous an undertaking for them, and determined, as soon as practicable, to leave the country until the war was over.

They returned to Rutland early in September of that year, having first made a “cache” in the ground, in which they deposited their pewter ware, which consisted of platters, plates, basins, spoons, and a variety of other domestic utensils, of which they had a good supply, and also a few farming tools.

But on their return in 1783, after the war, the place of their improvements had become so changed, it being overgrown with brush and briers, that they were unable to find any of their things thus deposited, nor could any of the family determine exactly where the “cache” was made. It is not improbable that it was discovered and robbed, and the place afterwards gradually filled up and overgrown with brushwood.” (R‑48, R‑55, R‑59, R‑500)

She was born 29 Oct. 1732 in Killingworth, CT and died there 23 June 1797. She had first married Daniel Griswold on 26 April 1751 in Killingworth. They had two children, Josiah Griswold, born 17 June 1752, and Sybil Griswold, born 27 April 1753, in Killingworth. Daniel died in 1753, and these two children took the name Graves after Lydia remarried.

He was captain of the 12th Co., 7th Regiment, Connecticut Militia from Killingworth in 1771 and, as major, assisted in forming a new regiment, in 1775, from companies of the 2nd, 7th, 10th, and 23rd Regiments under Colonel M.

CHILDREN OF BENJAMIN GRAVES (46) AND MARY JONES

Mary Graves (123) was born in 1727 and died 10 June 1772, both in East Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT. She married Nathaniel Cone, son of Nathaniel Cone and Sarah Hungerford, on 5 Dec. 1745. He was born 19 Jan. 1712 and died of cancer 15 April 1790, both in East Haddam, CT. They were members of the Congregational Church for over 50 years, and for many years he was a deacon of the church.

“In 1755, he was appointed Ensign of the first company of the military “train band” of East Haddam. A few years before his death he sent a petition to the Connecticut Legislature relating to the services of his sons in the Revolutionary War. The original document from which this is copied was [in 1903] in the possession of Mr. R. R. Cone of Millington, town of East Haddam, CT. The petition, without the preamble, is as follows:

To the Legislature of the State of Connecticut:

GENTLEMEN: In the commencement of the late War with Britain I had a number of sons just arrived to fit age to serve their country, and they were not backward to engage in its cause; two of them went in the first alarm made by the Lexington battle, and served the following summer’s campaign, and so on, as soldiers were called, for they always engaged. So that some of them was in the service continually, and indeed one of them was in the whole war from the alarm at Lexington till he was dismissed after the preliminaries for peace were signed. Another went twice three years; others twelve months, eight months, four months, &c. So that my sons have done little more than seventeen years under enlistments; adding to this the Militia tours they will make up about twenty years’ service, for I had six sons that have done service in the country’s cause.

In the next place, in relation to wages: The soldiers had wages promised them as an encouragement for them to enlist; right, too, for who goeth a warfare at any time at his own charges? saith the Scriptures. Forty shillings a month, which was said to be good wages, and I dou say that there were not many will say that it was too much, unless it should be some who never served as soldiers, and were they to try a campaign or two I believe they would be convinced. But what was promised would have been good wages had it been received as expected. In respect to what they did receive for wages in the intrinsic value would hardly average thro the whole war at ten shillings a month, and I do appeal to any one that are acquainted with the matter for the truth of this.

Twenty years’ service at forty shillings per month is…..£480

One quarter of this, which they did obtain, only £120

Difference which was promised and not paid £360

So that in this article of wages my family has been cut short £360 lawful money. A pretty interest is here curtailed at once. While my sons were in service and sick so as to render them unfit for duty they have several times returned out of camp to seek an asylum at home; so I have been at considerable charge in this respect; not that I was not willing to see them when sick and do for them, but of right they ought to have been on the publick expense, and I only mention this to show what I have done for the publick in order to take a fair view of matters presented. Now it may be remembered that after a few years of the war it grew very difficult to procure soldiers, but soldiers must be had by some means or other and the method for this was to class the people and for each class to furnish a soldier at all events, be the sum what it may; and the people began to have an eversion to the service, or rather an eversion to the pay they expected to receive, so that it must be a great sum to make one willing to enlist. In this way I have been obliged to pay no inconsiderable sum of money. It is true that war was long and must of necessity be attended with no small expense, but has not Independence cost us dear, and we entertained with the bare empty shell of liberty? The old maxim says, “It is cruel to ride a free horse to death.” Where is wisdom? Where is equity and justice which ought to reside among a people, but at this day seems hardly to be found, and if equity is not strictly attended to amongst a people there will be many complaints, and upon just grounds, too.

Now after all this service done my interest has been wrenched away from me by warrants and sold at the publick post considerably short of the true value for the publick taxes, and I am now left without any hoof of an ox to help myself with or even to draw my wood, for this long and cold winter, I have drawn wood on a hand sled altho in the seventy-fifth year of my age. Now where is equity? Must some be burdened till they expire under the load, while others are making (I believe) ample fortunes out of the publick? Who of any spirit can bear this and not complain, and have I not just grounds; or, do you think, gentlemen, that the common people are made to be like so many asses only to bear burdens!

I believe that much of the expense of this war could have been saved, but the great inequality is what I complain of; only let there be a proportion through the state and merit suitably considered and then I would be willing to take my lot with my neighbors and struggle along as well as I could.

I submit the whole to your consideration, Gentlemen, and if I am wrong and have no cause to complain, I hope I may be led to see my error.

He was born 9 Feb. 1721 or 1722 in Harwich, Barnstable Co., MA, and died 7 May 1804 in Hartland, CT. He was descended from Simon Crosby “the emigrant”. The family seems to have lived in East Haddam, CT until about 1757. They are later shown to be living in Hartland, CT in 1764. Simeon was first on the list of charter members of the church in East Hartland, CT and his brother-in-law Sterling Graves became their first minister. Simeon held several civic posts including selectman and school committee member. Simeon and Lydia were buried in the churchyard in West Hartland, CT. (R‑118)

He married Mary Ransom, daughter of Joseph Ransom and Jane ‑‑‑‑‑‑ of Lyme, CT. She was born about 1733 in Colchester, CT. (See notes written on p. 28 of Ransom Genealogy.

He took part early in the Rev. War and served under Col. William Ledyard at Fort Griswold. He was wounded when the garrison there was slaughtered on 6 Sept. 1781. He managed to reach the house of a friend but died shortly after. (R‑73, R‑500)

She died 24 June 1790. After the death of his second wife, Elizabeth, Sylvanus married third Eunice Spencer on 17 Nov. 1809. His daughter, Anna, married Sterling Graves.

Roswell early entered the Rev. War and went out as a corporal from East Haddam on the Lexington Alarm in April 1775, and served 13 days at that time. He was with the Army at Roxbury, MA on 25 March 1776. He wrote to his wife:

“Roxbury, March ye 21 A. D. 1776.

Loving wife:

After my kind regards to you and our children, I take this opportunity to let you know that through the goodness of Divine Providence I am well and as I hope these few lines will find you and all our friends.

Remember my kind regards to mother Graves and all our friends. I would have you remember although we are at a great distance apart God is able to preserve us and our children and return me again in safety. I would have you remember that we must commit ourselves into the hands of God to do as He sees fit.

It is a time of health in camp. Our enemy left Boston the 11^th of March and our men took possession immediately. The ninth day of March there was killed at Dorchester Point four men; there was continued a smart firing. I was there at the same time. There is talk of our moving, where I know not. No more at present but I remain, your loving husband,

Roswell Graves”

He then moved to New York with the Army, where he was a sergeant in Captain Jewett's Company, Colonel Huntington's 17th Regt., Connecticut Continentals, and took part in the battle of Long Island 27 Aug. 1776. He was officially reported as missing after that battle. He was taken prisoner and was confined in the "Old Sugar House Prison" where the City Hall building now stands in New York City, and died there of starvation. Tradition has it he was found with a piece of brick in his mouth. (R‑76, R‑500)

She was born in 1748, and died 22 Oct. 1825 in Rupert, VT, aged 78 years. Both were buried in a family cemetery outside of Rupert. Allen and his brother Stephen were members of the Fourth Company, under Captain Thomas Hobby of the Third Regiment of Greenwich, CT, in the French and Indian War. Allen served from 3 April to 5 December; Stephen served from 5 April to 5 Dec. 1759. They were also in the expedition against Crown Point and Ticonderoga.[18] Allen was in Captain Johannis Hogeboom's Co. of Militia with his brother Jonah in 1767. He served in the Rev.

He was in the battle of the taking of Burgoyne, and was a U.S. pensioner on rolls at Bennington, VT. In Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors, the following description of Allen’s service is found:

Graves, Allen, Egremont. List of men mustered between Jan. 20, 1777 and June 1, 1778 by Trueman Wheler, Muster Master for Berkshire Co.; term 3 yrs; also, Private 6^th Co. Col.

On December 29, 1819, Allen made a sworn statement of his service before Nathan Burton in Bennington Co. VT. He swore that he took part in the capture of Burgoyne’s army. The purpose of the statement was to establish pension eligibility through military service and personal need. His pension was eight dollars a month.

He lived for many years in the "Claverack District" from which Hillsdale, Columbia Co., NY was taken off in 1782, and owned and conveyed land there. In the New York census of 1790, Allen lived in Hillsdale Twp., Columbia Co. with the following family: 2 white males 16 years and older; 2 white males under 16 years; and 4 white free females. The Vermont census for 1800 has Allen living in Rupert with the following: 2 white males 16-26 years; 1 male 45 years and older; and 1 white female 45 years and older. Allen spent his last years living with his son Azariah in Rupert, VT. (R‑500, R‑9[19], R‑45, R‑124)

Ezra Graves (141) was born 13 June 1760 in Sherman, Fairfield Co., CT, and died 6 July 1834. He married Joanna Northrup on 7 Nov. 1779. She died 2 Dec. 1832, aged 68 years. He was in the Rev. War and present at the surrender of Burgoyne. He represented New Fairfield Co. in the Conn. General Assembly for several sessions. The Sentinel Houses, Sherman, CT, gives the following account of Ezra’s house:

“Ezra Graves built this house in 1806 and the land may well have been in the Graves family for more than 100 years. In a deed in which Ezra conveyed the property to his son Jedediah in 1810, he notes that his father, also Jedediah, gave him the property in 1783. Thus, the property was in the hands of a member of the Graves family from 1783 until Jedediah’s death in 1872, when George Graves, executor for Jedediah’s estate, sold the property to Frank Hungerford.

This publication also gives the following description, possibly of the same house, called the Jedediah Graves House:

The Frederick Waller home, standing at the fork of Anderson Road and Route 39 North, has at least three claims to distinction: It was the builder and owner of this house, Jedediah Graves, who suggested naming the town Sherman in honor of its distinguished citizen, Roger Sherman. That happened when this community was split off from New Fairfield in the early 1800's. The place is also marked by having had 18 owners in its approximate 137 years of existence. If this is not a record for transfer of property in Sherman, it is close to it. Finally, the house is architecturally distinguished by a fine Palladian window above the front door.

The house was built some time between 1810 and 1837 by Jedediah Graves. Prior to that time the Graves family lived in another house hard by and long since disappeared. Thus, ownership of the property by a Graves goes back to 1783 and possibly further.

The property remained in Graves’ hands until 1862, passing from father to son. Listen to this: from Jedediah Graves to his son Ezra Graves; from Ezra Graves to his son Jedediah Graves; from Jedediah Graves to his son Jedediah J. Graves; from Jedediah J. Graves to David Graves. If this is not evidence of a strong family affection for the land, it certainly speaks for a love of the name Jedediah.” (R‑7, R‑80, R‑500)

CHILDREN OF JOSHUA GRAVES (60) AND RHODA BRONSON

Simeon Graves (200) was born 20 Sept. 1752 in New Cambridge (now Bristol, Hartford Co., CT) or Waterbury, New Haven Co., CT, and died after 1840. He married Mary Jennings[25]. She was born about 1765. He was a soldier in the Rev. War. He enlisted at Waterbury, CT on 4 March 1777 in Capt. David Smith's Co., Colonel John Chandler's Regiment. He was of Litchfield, CT 29 Dec. 1788, and of Rupert, Bennington Co., VT in 1790 when the first U.S. census was taken. At that time he had 5 sons under 16 years of age and probably 2 daughters. Simeon and his wife were in the 1800 census for Essex, Chittenden Co., VT, living near Chauncey and Bennett Graves, with no children listed. This change in number of children from the 1790 census could indicate that he had remarried and his children by his first wife were living elsewhere or had died, or that the children in the 1790 census weren’t his. He was in the 1810 census for Underhill, Chittenden Co., VT, with 3 sons under 10, 1 daughter under 10, and 1 daughter 10-15. In 1818 he was living in Constable, Franklin Co., NY and was on the U.S. pension roll. He and Mary were in the 1820 census for Constable, Franklin Co., NY, with 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-18, 1 female 10-16. He and Mary were in the 1830 census for Malone, Franklin Co., NY, with 2 males 20-30, and 1 female 20-30, living near his son Truman Graves. He and Mary were in the 1840 census for Malone, Franklin Co., NY, with no children in their household, identified as an 87-year-old veteran, living near Norman Graves (possibly another son listed in the 1830 census but not in the pension application) and Truman Graves.

Jesse Graves (201) was born 30 Jan. 1755 in New Cambridge (now Bristol, Hartford Co., CT) or Waterbury, New Haven Co., CT, died 12 (or 20) Oct. 1820 in Salisbury, Addison Co., VT, and was buried in Manchester, Bennington Co., VT. He married Ruth Remington of Cummington, Hampshire Co., MA on 16 Feb. 1780. She died 29 April 1839 in her 82nd year. He was in the Rev. War (see vol. 19, p. 112, D.A.R. Lineage Book). Jesse built the first cider mill in Salisbury in 1803.

The following is from a copy of a handwritten deposition to court by Chauncey Graves (#204), filed in National Archives Pension File S.21231 for Jesse Graves of VT:

Deposition to obtain a pension for Ruth, widow of Jesse Graves.

“I, Chauncey Graves, of Underhill in the county of Chittenden & State of Vermont, being duly sworn depose and say that my father, Joshua Graves, in the first year of the Revolutionary War, 1775, then living in New Lebanon, in the state of New York, came to the town of Salisbury in the county of Addison, Vermont and began to clear a farm, which he had purchased and in the spring following, his family moved in to the town of Salisbury aforesaid. I was then with the family and was sixteen years old. In the month of June of that year, 1776, we were ordered by the government to remove from that place on account of the exposure of the settlers to the invasions of the Indians. Our family removed, at that time to Shaftsbury in Bennington County. In the fall of the same year, my brother, Jesse Graves, being then I think, twenty two year old, returned to Salisbury to take care of the crops & other property left in Salisbury; here he was taken sick & continued sick until the following spring, 1777 - and about the time of his recovery was taken by the Indians & carried away and detained several weeks in captivity, with my father, who was taken with him. The year following & the next year after the capture of Burgoyne my brother, the said Jesse Graves, enlisted into the service at Arlington in the County of Bennington, and went to Castleton as I understood, and the troops were there employed in erecting a fort at that place. He entered the service and served as a Sergeant. Having a horse of his own he was [next two words illegible]…much of the time as an [illegible], and on scouts under his command. He continued there in the service from early in the spring until late in the fall, but I do not know for what time he enlisted nor exactly how long he served. Not being myself in the service I have no knowledge of the above facts except from information at the time - and from the fact that my brother was absent during the above period. In the spring following 1779, he enlisted again and went to Rutland where a fort was built that season; - in April of that year, I also went into the service, & was in the service at Rutland during the summer until the month of December. I there saw my said brother Jesse Graves in the service and was frequently on scouts with him, and once in the last part of October went with him and others under the command of So [?] Blanchard [?] to New Haven & Weybridge to bring off the women & children who had been left there by the Indians after they had burnt out all the houses & taken the men prisoners. In this above mentioned service, the said Jesse Graves served as Sergeant, and except as above mentioned, commanded the scouting parties. He being chiefly employed in scout, & I in the fort, I am not able to recollect how long he served but suppose he served through the summer. - The said Jesse Graves went into the service also in the spring following 1780, and served at Pittsford, in the frontier, in the neighborhood of Rutland & Castleton. In the course of the summer of that year, I was ordered out with the militia on an alarm and went to the fort at Pittsford and served there three months. There I saw the said Jesse Graves in the service, and I am confident he served there during the whole season from early in the spring until late in the fall. The whole of the above mentioned service he performed as a Sergeant. After he was driven from his farm in Salisbury he was not able to find any other employment; and was, according to my present recollection, in the service, on the frontier in Vermont, almost the whole of the three years above mentioned…” (Note: rest of transcript had to do merely with service dates, etc.) (R‑48, R‑55, R‑59, R‑500)

He married Olive Sprague (?) of Huntington, Chittenden Co., VT. She died 15 June 1793 in Salisbury, Addison Co., VT. He married second Rachel Adams[30] on 8 June 1794 (or 1795) in Poultney, Rutland Co., VT. He moved from Salisbury to Waterbury and afterwards to Underhill. He was a soldier in the Rev. War and on the U.S. pension roll at Underhill. The VT vital records list all the following children by the first marriage except Lucy. John Card Graves (R‑500) listed Lucy, but did not list Susan, Simeon, Asinetta, or Olive. (It is likely that the R‑500 information was from family sources, so it is possible that at least some of those he did not list died young).

Chauncey served in the Revolutionary War under Captain Allen’s Company Vermont Militia. Private Graves is on the payroll of Captain Samuel Allen’s Company of volunteers. Raised by the order of Brigadier General Allen, the company commenced 13 Oct. 1780, and ended 4 Nov. 1780, with twenty three days of service. Chauncey received a pension for his service in the war under S.15869. (R‑25, R‑48, R‑55, R‑500)

CHILDREN OF ABNER GRAVES (65)

Asahel Graves (223) was born 23 Aug. 1746 in Farmington, Hartford Co., CT (Farmington Vital Records, vol. LR7, p. 71), and probably died between 1830 and 1840. He married Sarah (or Sara) ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He was in the 1810 census for Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY, living next to his son, Remington Graves, and his household included a male age 10-15, a female 10-15, a female 16-25, and a female 45 or older (his wife). The 1820 and 1830 censuses for Choconut, Susquehanna Co., PA, showed a male in the household of Asahel Graves who could have been this Asahel; however, the household could have been headed by Asahel, born about 1798, and the older male might have been Remington Graves.

Because Asahel (born 1746) apparently lived with Asahel (born about 1798), and the older Asahel had a male of the right age in his household in 1810, Asahel (born about 1978) is being shown as a son of the older Asahel. It could be argued that a spread of about 28 years is a long time between the oldest and the youngest child, but it is certainly not impossible, and it is also possible that Asahel married a second time. Documentation such as wills, deeds, land sales, etc., could help to shed more light on the details of this family. (R‑500)

He was a Rev. soldier having enlisted from Litchfield Co., CT in April or May 1775 as a private in Captain Beebe's Co., which was stationed at Ticonderoga, under Major Welch. He was also in Captain Alexander Waugh's Co., 17th Conn. Militia in 1779. He was said to have been with Washington at the crossing of the Delaware River. He was a blacksmith. He lived in Delaware and Chemung counties, NY and in Bradford and Potter counties, PA. He spent the last years of his life with his son John at Shongo. He was a U.S. pensioner, having made application while living at Scio, NY on 27 March 1846, when he was about 95 years old.

The town of Willing is located in southeastern Allegany County, bordering on the Pennsylvania state line. It is an average rural town with a normal history of common, hardworking people. Its beginnings were mainly in agriculture and lumber as were most towns in western New York.

According to Allegany and its People – 1895, which states: “As near as can be ascertained the wilderness was first broken by one John Ford from Connecticut, who came to Willing in 1819. He was a Revolutionary hero and was said to be in every way qualified to battle with the forest and its denizens.”[34]

About ten years later, Bela Graves, with his son John, located on lot 33 in the little hamlet of Shongo (then, town of Scio). The following year they took up lot 15, where they remained the rest of their lives. Sons Seth and Jeremiah settled on lot 32 in 1830. The Graves family has always maintained its place in the town, and there are hundreds of descendants of Bela and Sarah Griswold Graves, many of them carrying the Graves name.

Willing was formed from the towns of Scio and Independence, on 19 Nov. 1851. The first town meeting was held 4 March 1852. An historical marker commemorating that meeting is located next to the highway on Route 19 at Yorks Corners. (R‑20, R-32, R‑163, R‑500)

CHILDREN OF LYDIA GRAVES (68) AND PETER FARNHAM

Eber Farnham (238) was born 29 April 1748 in Killingworth, Middlesex, CT, was baptized 5 June 1748, died 8 Feb. 1837 in Darien, Genesee Co., NY, and was buried in the Darien Cem. on Rt. 20 in Darien, NY. He married Eunice ‑‑‑‑‑‑ about 1774 in Vermont (?). She was born about 1759, died 14 June 1824 in Darien, NY, and was also buried in the Darien Cem. Eber served in the military during the Revolutionary War for Vermont from 1780 through 1782. He owned land in Clarendon, Rutland Co., VT which he purchased from Elihu Smith and then sold to Demetrius Crampton in 1781. Clarendon was in an area of NH Grants which was disputed by NY and VT. After the Battle of Hubbardstown in the Revolutionary War, Clarendon was mostly deserted by its inhabitants. By 1790 Eber had moved to Walpole, Cheshire Co., NH. The History of Walpole, N.H. says that Eber had two wives, Eunice and Harriet, but it is believed that there was an error in the records and that Harriet was actually the wife of his son, Luther. The 1800 and 1810 census has Eber listed as a resident of Pompey, Onondaga Co., NY and in 1820 he is listed as a resident of Genesee Co. In 1805 Eber was listed as a member of a church in Oran, Onondaga Co., NY which is now known as the Pompey Presbyterian Church. (R‑102)

CHILDREN OF RUSSELL GRAVES (139) AND ANNA ‑‑‑‑‑‑

Hon. John Graves (467) was born 22 (or 27) Dec. 1778 in what was then Albany County in the state of NY, and died 17 Feb. 1855. He married Abigail Munn, daughter of David Munn and Lois Osborn, on 30 Sept. 1800. She was born 27 Dec. 1780 and died 27 Dec. 1816. He married second Esther Smith, a native of Rhode Island, on 15 Jan. 1818. She was born 19 Dec. 1784 and died 10 Oct. 1860.

He moved to Herkimer County, NY in 1795 and purchased a farm in that part of the town of Norway now known as Russia, near Gravesville. He was a very prominent and useful citizen, ensign in Militia Co. in 1805, drummer in the War of 1812, supervisor of the town, justice of the peace, member of the Assembly of the state of New York in 1813 and 1824, and high sheriff of Herkimer County in 1829, 1830, and 1831. He was a tall, sandy-complexioned man, dignified but approachable. His residence was still standing on the main road from Newport to Trenton Falls in the early 1900's. John, Abigail and Esther were buried in the cemetery at Gravesville, town of Russia, NY.

According to History of Herkimer County by Nathaniel S. Benton, Albany, 1856, pages 320-321: “John Graves was a native of Dutchess county in this state and removed into the town of Russia in 1795, where he selected and purchased by contract a lot in the ‘wild woods’ which he designed to convert into a farm, and make it his abiding place and home. John arrived at the age of sixteen with his only possession, an axe. At the age of 19 years he had paid the contract price for the land, when calling for his deed the seller could not make him a title, and he was compelled to find the true owner and again bargain and pay for the lot, which he did. This was a hard and discouraging beginning in life to be encountered by one so young and in a new and wilderness county, but he no doubt believed it better for him to combat the adversities which had overtaken him, where he then was, than to try any new locality or other expedient. The sequel of life with him proved he acted wisely and prudently. He first purchased one hundred six acres, and then later added one hundred forty-four for a total of two hundred fifty acres.

He was elected member of assembly in this county in 1812, on a ticket with Rudolph I. Shoemaker and Hosea Nelson. His majority, although he had the largest vote of any candidate on his ticket, was only 40; and the average majority of the successful candidates was fifty-three. This was at the eve of the eventful period of the war with Great Britain when political party lines were stringently drawn. Mr. Graves supported the war policy of the then national government. He was again chosen member of assembly at the November election in 1823, with Christopher P. Bellinger and Caleb Budlong, and was consequently a member of the house during the stormy session in the winter of 1824, and at the extra session in the following November. The subjects which engrossed public attention at this time are noticed in another portion of this work. He favored the claims of William H. Crawford to the presidency and acted throughout with the republican party of this state in the fruitless effort of securing his election.

Having been chosen sheriff of the county, he entered upon the duties of the office on the 1st day of January, 1829, which he discharged with great fidelity and satisfaction to the public. At the end of his official term he retired from public life to the enjoyments of a domestic home, surrounded by competence and the society of friends who knew and appreciated his worth. He died at Gravesville in the town of Russia on the 16th of February, 1855, aged 76 years, leaving a widow and two sons, one of whom is the Hon. Ezra Graves of Herkimer.

The obituary notice of his death disclosed the fact that he died of consumption after a protracted and painful sickness. Mr. Graves was among the first of the hardy and resolute pioneers who penetrated the wilderness to the northwesterly portion of the Royal grant, where for sixty years he marked the times and seasons as they came and went, and noticed the exit of his compeers as they passed life’s threshold to their long rest and silent home. But few remain of those who, before the year 1800, emigrated into the county for the purpose of settlement, and the sod of the valley shall soon mark the place where that few must rest.” (R‑21, R‑158, R‑500)

He became a physician and lived near his brother John in what is now the town of Russia in Herkimer Co., NY. He and his first wife deeded lands there, part of no. 47 in the 3rd allotment of the Royal Grant, on 2 June 1804, and shortly afterwards moved to Cleveland, OH where he became a pioneer physician. He owned three or four acres now contained in college grounds opposite Wade Park.

He was a devoted freemason and lieutenant of the militia in Herkimer County in 1803 and 1804 and, while a resident of Cleveland, participated in the War of 1812, was lieutenant in the 48th Regiment of Ohio Infantry, and was brevetted captain by the Commander in Chief at Buffalo, NY on 27 Oct. 1812, where his regiment was in service. He was a good husband and kind father, persevering and undaunted by difficulties. He built a mill on Doan Creek a short way above the old Crawford Mill. (R‑500)

She married third ‑‑‑‑‑‑ Seeley. He lived at Elizabethtown, Canada, about 10 miles from Brockville, where he was imprisoned. Brockville is situated on the north side of the St. Lawrence River, 12 to 15 miles southwest of Ogdensburg. He was an engineer and was imprisoned twice for drawing maps for the Americans and for serving with the American Army against the British in the War of 1812. He gave his brother Dr. Ezra Graves of Cleveland, OH a power of attorney authorizing him to convey property in Virginia. This document was dated 26 April 1819 at Cleveland and acknowledged the same day before Horace Perry, Recorder at Cleveland. He had no children.

A letter from William to his brother John was printed in the Herkimer American Statesman on June 21, 1821 and is included in the Appendix of this book. (R‑500)

CHILDREN OF SIMEON GRAVES (200) AND MARY JENNINGS

Norman Graves (620) was born 1 Dec. 1803 in Fairfield, Franklin Co., VT. He married Roxanna ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born about 1808 in VT. This Norman may be the same as the one in genealogy 296 who married Roxy Sholes. However, the children listed for that Norman and Roxy were not listed in the 1850 and 1860 censuses for this Norman Graves as they should have been.

The Civil War enlistment records from the town of Duane, Franklin Co., NY, give the birthdate of Norman Graves, his parents’ names, and state: “98^th NY Co. G, Pvt., Nov. 1861. Farmer discharged for disability June 6, 1862 at Washington, DC.”

They were in the 1850 census for Bangor, Franklin Co., NY. They were in the 1860 census for Brandon, Franklin Co., NY. He was a farmer. Jane was born in VT, and the other two were born in NY. (R‑212)

CHILDREN OF ASA GRAVES (202) AND DESIRE ‑‑‑‑‑‑

Ruth Graves (628) was born 11 March 1782 (or 1780[54]) in Arlington, Bennington Co., VT[55], and died 4 (or 11) April 1866 in Gustavus, Trumbull Co., OH. She married Levi Lane, son of Jedediah Lane and Phebe Stevens of Jericho, VT, before 1805, probably in VT. He was born 24 June 1784 in Salisbury, Litchfield Co., CT, was raised in Jericho, Chittenden Co., VT, and died 25 Jan. 1868[56] in Trumbull Co., OH. After their marriage, they moved to NY state, and then to Gustavus Twp., OH. They were both buried in Old Center Cem., Gustavus Twp., OH.

Levi was a soldier in the War of 1812. He enlisted at Burlington, VT on 19 Feb. 1813 as a private in Captain Goodrich’s Company of the Eleventh Regiment, commanded by Col. Isaac Clark, U.S. Infantry (regular army). At the time of his enlistment, he was described as five feet nine inches tall, with grey eyes, black hair and a light complexion. Levi was injured by a falling tree while chopping wood for the use of the troops, then quartered at Burlington, on or about 18 Dec. 1814. He suffered fractures of his shoulder blade, collar bone, and a bone of his left arm which left his left arm and hand totally useless. He was discharged due to medical disability on 27 May or 20 June 1815.

Levi took the freeman’s oath at Jericho, VT in 1812[57]. He was inscribed on the pension roll of the State of Vermont on 21 June 1815. On 1 March 1826, he appeared before a justice of the peace in Jamestown, NY, seeking to transfer his pension payments to that place. According to statements he gave in 1831 and 1832, Levi was living in Jericho, VT in Sept. 1830, after which time he removed to the town of Naples, Ontario Co., NY. On 16 Sept. 1836, he appeared before a justice of the peace in Gustavus Twp., OH, stating that he had moved to that place one year before.

Levi was a farmer at the time of his enlistment in the army, but later records, including the 1850 and 1860 federal censuses for Trumbull Co., OH as well as the History of Jericho, show his occupation as physician.

Sylvia Graves, Ruth’s younger sister, was in the household of Levi and Ruth in Gustavus, OH at the time of the 1850 federal census, age 61. Papers in the probate file of Levi Lane include a receipt saying: “$6.00 Received Gustavus Feby 12, 1868 of Levi S. Lane [son & executor of the estate] the sum of six dollars for diging graves of Sylvia Graves & Ruth Lane wife of Levi Lane the said Sylvia being a relic of said Levi Lane. [signed] ‑‑?‑‑ Bailey.” Thus, Sylvia Graves appears to have died in Trumbull Co., OH, unmarried, prior to 12 Feb. 1868. (R‑25, R‑26, R‑48)

Si Remington Graves (692) was born 12 July (or 7 Dec.) 1770 (Litchfield, Litchfield Co., CT). His first name may have been Josiah, and Si may have just been a nickname. He married ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He and his father, Asahel, were living next to each other in the 1810 census for Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY. Remington was not found in the 1820 or 1830 censuses, and he could have been the older male in the household of his son Asahel in Choconut, Susquehanna Co., PA, or that older male could have been Remington’s father. The older male was 45 or older in 1820 (could have been either Remington or Asahel), and 70-80 in 1830 (Asahel would have been 84, and Remington would have been 60, so it was more likely Asahel).

They were in the 1860 and 1870 censuses for Apolacon, Susquehanna Co., PA. In 1880 he was 82, widowed, in the household of his son, Asahel, and Hannah was not listed. The 3 older daughters in the list of children were in the 1840 census but had probably married by 1850, since they were no longer in the household. All their children were born in PA.

The parentage of Asahel Graves is supported not only by census records but also by analysis of the given names in this family, especially the name Asahel, the places lived, and DNA test results.

The main evidence for the marriages of sons Chester and Asahel is a series of photographs of all the children and grandchildren of Zilpha (Gould) Tallmadge which were passed on to R‑194 by Elmer Ellsworth Devol, grandson of Anna C. (Gould) Devol, who was a sister of Zilpha Gould. (R‑194)

CHILDREN OF BELA GRAVES (225)

John Graves (705) was born 17 (or 14) Oct. 1784, and died 16 Sept. (or Oct.) 1862 at Shongo, Allegany Co., NY. He married Jerusha Campbell, daughter of Nathaniel Campbell and Beulah Fuller, on 13 Jan. 1808. She was born 19 June 1791 in Orange Co., NY, and died 5 Nov. 1862. (Nathaniel came to America from England and his wife came from Scotland). Jerusha was a half-sister of Charity Campbell, who married Abner Graves (#708), John’s brother. Census records list John’s occupation as farmer. They moved in 1829 from Potter Co., PA to Shongo, NY.

This John may have been a veteran of the War of 1812. Some have passed down the story of him being an “old soldier,” since he was born during the Revolutionary War, and died at the beginning of the Civil War. John accompanied his father Bela, with his wife and family, to Willing, NY, around 1828-1830, from Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY. They settled on Lot 33, and two years later, he moved across the Genesee River to Lot 15, where he remained until his death.

The following is taken from a photocopy of a presumed-original letter, obtained from the National Archives:

“State of New York

Allegany County John Graves being duly sworn

Deposeth and saith that he is a son of Bela Graves that his mothers name was Sarah and that his Grandfathers name on his mothers side was Jeramiah Griswold and that he was born in the Town of Litchfield State of Connecticut that his father Bela Graves lived in said town of Litchfield and in sight of and nearby Major David Welch who had an Iron forge there and for whom his Father worked. That his Father had a Brother by the name of Asahel Graves who this deponent well knew and that they resided there until this deponent was about 12 years of age and then removed to Deleware [sic] County State of New York that his father Bela Graves has in his possession a Bound Book which he has used for an account book ever since this deponent can remember until it was filled with accounts. That there is several accounts upon said book against men who resided in Litchfield having dates as early as 1784 and that the accounts of said David Welch and Asahel Graves and others are in said book and settled and the names of David Welch and Asahel Graves and others who resided there signed to the settlements in said book. That most of the accounts are in regular form day and date and for work as a blacksmith which was the business of his Father followed that among the accounts credited to said Welch is one of 6 penies for taking acknowledgement of deed dated 17 Nov. 1788 that the other credits are for store goods mostly and that said Welch was a merchant. And this deponent further saith that he has always understood that his father Bela Graves was a soldier in the Revolution that he has understood it for 45 or 50 years which time [page ends] this deponent can Distinctly recall it and that this deponent is now over 60 years of age. That this deponent has heard his father talk of the war and give recollections of his service when his Fathers Memory was good and when he could name his officers and messmates that he has often told this deponent and others that he was entitled to a pension and could get it if he lived in Connecticut or if he knew where the witnesses lived but that he was too poor and too old and could not look them up. And that said Bela Graves is now 94 years old according to this deponents family record and that this deponent has seen his fathers family record but does not know where it is. All of which this deponent verily believes to be true – Sworn and subscribed this 23 day of Febry 1846 Before me [signed] Geo B. Jones Judge Allegany County Court [signed] John Graves

Text Box: Polly Bostwick Graves Text Box: Samuel Graves Samuel Graves (718) was born 4 June 1794 in Cooperstown, Otsego Co., NY, was baptized 14 Dec. 1800 in the Presbyterian Church, Cooperstown, NY, and died 30 July 1880 in San Francisco, San Francisco Co., CA. He married Polly Bostwick, daughter of William Bostwick and Hannah Warner, on 23 May 1819 in Auburn, Cayuga Co., NY. She was born 28 Sept. 1798 at Whitestown, Oneida Co., NY, and died 9 Feb. 1876 in San Francisco, CA. Samuel and Polly celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary with a large party in San Francisco. They both were buried in Laurel Hill Cem. in San Francisco. When that cemetery was demolished in the 1940’s, they were reburied in Cypress Hill Cem., Colma, CA, plot 681, in what is known as Laurel Hill Mound. Those buried there were, for the most part, early pioneers and leaders in the San Francisco and northern California areas.

He was a devoted member of the Masonic fraternity and lived in Batavia, NY at the time of the Great Anti-Masonic crusade in this country. The family returned to Auburn, NY about 1829 and lived in the large house purchased at 10 Orchard St. (name now changed) where the ten living children were raised. He then moved to California and was prelate of the Grand Commandery in that state. He was a man of great strength and purity of character and much respected.

He was an inventor, a gold/silver/platinum-smith, and a watchmaker. Polly and Samuel were staunch Episcopalians, as were their children. Samuel supposedly made a silver altar vessel for Benicia’s Episcopal Church. In Benicia, the capital of California at the time, both Samuel and his son were instrumental in the establishment of that parish as well as the two academies, one for boys and the other for girls, associated with it. The two men were also instrumental in establishing St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in San Francisco and were lay leaders there for many years.

When Samuel and Polly moved from New York to San Francisco in 1863, the ship carrying all their household furnishings and possessions was captured by Raphael Semmes, the notorious Civil War-era “Confederate pirate”, captain of “The Alabama.”

The Memoirs and Masonic History of the late Samuel Graves[68], compiled at the time of his death, gives the following accounts of his life:

“For three or four years, — from eight until nearly twelve years of age, — he attended the village school, taught by Mr. Orlando R. Cory…These few years in the public school, to which may be added about six months after he had arrived at the age of twenty-one years, comprise all the educational advantages which Bro. Graves ever enjoyed: he was emphatically a self-taught man. At the age of fourteen years he was bound as an apprentice to the firm of Graves & Nichols, the senior partner being his elder brother, Jesse Graves. This firm carried on the business of watch-making and manufacturing jewelry, and here Bro. Graves had the benefit of instruction in the art of working the precious metals by skilled workmen from the older cities of the United States and Europe…

Of the exhilarating amusement of skating, Master Samuel was particularly fond; and, in the winter season, the glassy surface of Lake Otsego in Cooperstown, NY, nine miles in length by about two in breadth, afforded him and his young companions ample scope for indulgence in their favorite pastime. Among those who often joined the merry throng upon these skating frolics was the since celebrated novelist, James Fennimore Cooper, from whose family Cooperstown derived its name. Of him Bro. Graves says: ‘He was the most graceful skater I ever saw; being tall and slender in form, he was exceedingly active, and, while skating, would cut the initials of his name in the ice with the greatest ease.’

The longest vacation taken by Samuel during his apprenticeship was occupied in escorting his mother on a visit to her mother, whom she had not seen for more than twenty-five years. This journey from Cooperstown, New York, to Peterboro, New Hampshire, a distance of more than two hundred miles, was no light undertaking for a lady, whose only escort was a boy of fifteen years. As the details of the journey are interesting, we will give his own graphic description of them. “We left Cooperstown in August, 1809, in a one-horse carriage and arrived in Albany at noon of the third day, having traveled about sixty-six miles. From there we proceeded to Lansingburg, where my youngest brother was living, and also my mother’s youngest brother, Walter, who was minister in charge of the First Presbyterian Church in that city. We remained there over Sunday, and on Monday morning we left for Walpole, passing through Hoosac and Bennington, at the base of the Green Mountains, where a decisive battle had once been fought, and we felt great interest in viewing the grounds, as my father and two uncles had taken an active part in that battle.

“After a short visit to this place, we departed for the town of Brattleboro. Our road led over the mountain by a steep grade, three miles in length. The weather being very warm, we were obliged to stop several times to rest our wearied horse, and when about half the distance was accomplished, we stopped to examine a very large birch tree, under which, we were informed, a man, who many years ago attempted to cross the mountain in the winter time, was found frozen to death. In consequence of this fatal incident, the tree had become an object of interest, and the names of several hundreds of travelers who had passed that way had been cut into the bark of the tree, some of them as high as a man could reach by standing erect upon a horse’s back. Several other trees in the vicinity had been covered with names in the like manner, and I was about to add my name to the number when my mother discovered a man approaching us, and hurrying me down, I lost an opportunity of immortalizing my name, and our equine motor received a sudden impetus on the road to Brattleboro, where we arrived about sunset, having accomplished only about twenty miles during the day; and a hard day’s work it was. Here we rested during the night.

“On the following day, we traveled for several miles near the banks of the Connecticut river, and were much amused at the different styles of fences presented to our view. Some fields were entirely surrounded by pine stumps, whose formidable roots, all turned outward, formed an impenetrable barrier to the predatory incursions of trespassing cattle; others were enclosed by stone walls, the material for which had been gathered from the land to make room for the seed, and had been erected by hands which perhaps, but a few years since, had been engaged in doing battle to secure the independence of our Nation.

“Near the close of that day, we crossed the Connecticut River near Bellows’ Falls, in the village of Walpole, where we passed the night with some of our relatives, and gladly availed ourselves of the opportunity for rest afforded us, after a long and tedious journey of about two hundred miles. In those days, a journey of that length was attended by more hardship and annoyance, and occupied more time, than is now experienced in a trip across the continent.

“On the following morning we found our way to the well known ‘Graves’ Farm,’ situated about one and a half miles east from Bellows’ Falls, on an eminence overlooking the village of Walpole. This farm, consisting of one hundred and sixty acres, was purchased by my grandfather in its wild and uncultivated state; but now, how striking the difference! The virgin forest had given way to cultivated fields and orchards abounding in various kinds of fruit trees, while the rude cabins of the pioneers were replaced with substantial farm-houses, barns, cider-mills, etc.

“My grandfather’s name was Aaron Graves, and at the time of our visit he was ninety years of age, and apparently in the enjoyment of good health. His son Samuel carried on the farm, and, I believe, continued to do so during his lifetime.

“After a visit of about ten days to our relatives at the old homestead, refreshed and recuperated by rest and the hospitable fare characteristic of the ‘Old Granite State,’ we again proceeded on our journey to Peterboro, a town about thirty miles distant, on the direct road to Boston. On our way we passed through the town of Keene, a lively little village, where we tarried a short time to refresh ourselves and give needed rest to the faithful horse, who had thus far borne us securely on our way. While looking about the town a little, we encountered a gentleman of an inquiring turn of mind, who, with a laudable (?) ambition for the acquisition of knowledge, proceeded to interview us after the traditional Yankee method. ‘Where did you come from? Where are you going? What kind of folks are living away out there in the wilderness? A’int the Injuns very troublesome? and, what d’ye call that kind of carriage way out there in York State?’ were questions propounded in rapid succession, and which I answered to the best of my ability, and, bidding our inquisitive friend good-bye, we resumed our journey, and after about two hours of travel we arrived at the farm where my mother was born. Here we found my mother’s mother—a lady whose hair was bleached by the snows of eighty-eight winters—seated at the loom, busily engaged in plying the weaver’s shuttle in the manufacture of a coarse hempen fabric, used for the purpose of covering the kilns in drying hops. My uncle, who was many years younger than my mother, had charge of the farm, and was largely engaged in raising hops for the Boston market…

“My maternal grandfather I know little of; he died several years before the Revolution. We remained a few days at the old homestead, after which, rested and refreshed, we set out upon our return. We stopped at Walpole and Lansingburg, where most of our relatives resided, and at the latter place we were joined by my youngest brother, who had been spending some time with an uncle who resided there. After remaining a few days at this place, we diligently prosecuted our journey home, and arrived safely in Cooperstown, after an absence of six weeks. We found our friends all well, and glad to welcome us back after our long and tedious journey.’

Text Box: Home of Samuel and Polly Bostwick Graves, 10 Orchard St., Auburn, NY After a few days’ rest, Master Graves again took his place in the workshop, and was employed in the manufacture of gold beads, an article of jewelry which the superstition of the time had invested with a particular charm, as they were believed to be the only effectual remedy for the “goitre,” an unsightly swelling of the throat, now seldom seen in this country, but still common in the mountains of Switzerland. The fear of disfigurement by the repulsive “goitre,” and the faith reposed in gold beads as a preventative, created a brisk demand for the shining spheres, and the jewelers were very careful not to discourage the belief in their efficacy as a remedial agent.

When Master Graves had served some three years of his apprenticeship, he had made such progress in the jewelers’ art that he was enabled to earn considerable amounts by over-work; that is to say, after the usual day’s work required of a journeyman was accomplished, he would be paid journeyman’s wages for all work over the required task. For instance, to make one set of silver tea-spoons was accounted as one day’s work, while two days were allotted to a set of table-spoons; one string of gold beads occupied one day in their manufacture, and other articles were considered in like proportion. When our apprentice had performed his allotted task he was at liberty to dispose of the remainder of his time as he pleased, and, being industrious and frugal, he chose to remain in the factory and earn what he could by extra labor, rather than spend his time in profitless amusement. The price at that time for making a set of tea-spoons was one dollar, table-spoons two dollars, etc…

It was his invariable custom, during his apprenticeship, to rise early in the morning and proceed to the workshop, where he would employ himself for about an hour and a half before breakfast, walking nearly a mile to obtain that meal, which act of pedestrianism, being repeated twice daily, gave him considerable out of door exercise. At six o’clock, P.M., his day’s work proper was ended, but it was his custom to return to the workshop after partaking of the evening meal, where he would labor until eleven o’clock on extra work. He would then retire to his much-needed rest, usually carrying home with him a box in which were packed some seventy-five or one hundred watches, having no fear of being robbed or molested. Only six hours of the twenty-four were devoted by him to sleep, the remaining eighteen being spent in active labor or in the improvement of his mind by reading and study. In this way he faithfully served his apprenticeship of seven years, terminating on the fourth day of June 1815. Upon a final settlement with his employers, he found himself in possession of something over three hundred dollars, and with this capital he commanded business for himself in Cooperstown, where he was born, and the boundaries of which he had seldom crossed. In this business he continued for one year, at the expiration of which a friend of his, Roger Haskell by name, a saddle and harness maker by trade, having decided to remove his business to Auburn, a growing vilage [sic] situated about one hundred miles west of Cooperstown, proposed to Mr. Graves to close up his business in the latter place and seek, with him, in the former, a more extended field of enterprise. After consulting with a young man named James Fitch, between whom and Mr. Graves a partnership had been negotiated, they decided to accept Mr. Haskell’s proposition, he offering to let them have a part of his store, which would cost but little to fit up for their business.

Before going to Auburn, Mr. Graves proceeded to Albany to replenish his stock of goods, and on his return, bidding good-bye to his friends and neighbors, he took his departure to seek his fortune among strangers.

The description of his journey to Albany and afterwards to the scene of his future labors, and his struggles to obtain a foothold in business there, will be given in his own words.

“He says:—“We left Cooperstown for Albany on the nineteenth day of June 1816, in an open wagon, that being the only mode of conveyance available, and for fellow-passengers we had the pleasure (?) of the company of the sheriff and four guests of the commonwealth, who, having involuntarily accepted the hospitalities of the State, were being escorted to the institution in such cases provided for their future (dis)comfort, and to secure them against the attacks of Indians and wild animals which at that time abounded in its more unsettled localities. This institution was called the New York State Prison, and was, at that time, the only penitentiary in the State, and was located in the city of New York, near where Canal Street now terminates on the North River side.

“I well remember the morning we left Cooperstown, for, although we had reached the middle of the first month of summer, the ground was covered with snow six inches deep, and when the sun rose and melted the snow, the corn, which had grown to the height of from two to six inches, was blackened and withered as if swept by a storm of fire. Forest and fruit trees shared the same fate throughout a large extent of the country and on the evening of that memorable day, fires in the houses were as necessary to comfort as if the season had been mid-winter. This phenomenal weather prevailed during the entire summer season, and extended throughout the United States. Frost appeared in the Northern States to a greater or less extent in every month of the year, and crops, in many instances, were entirely destroyed by it. Corn was a total failure in all the Northern States, and throughout the Eastern States but little ripened sufficiently to serve for seed. A few farmers were fortunate enough to have kept over a portion of the previous crop, but the bulk of seed had to be obtained from the Southern States at the price of two dollars and fifty cents per bushel of sixty pounds, and even at that price it was difficult to obtain.

Text Box: Samuel Graves in Masonic Regalia “The potato crop also failed, and many cargoes were imported from Ireland, and upon their distribution through the country, the people would cut out the eyes for seed and would use the remaining portion of the tubers for food.

“The year 1816 will long be remembered as the year without a summer; and this abnormal condition of things was attributed by scientists to the spots upon the sun, which in that year were so distinct that they could readily be discovered with the naked eye, and by using a piece of smoked glass their sizes, shapes, and number could without difficulty be traced and determined. The air had a chilly feeling, similar to that experienced during the total eclipse of the sun in 1806, when, at eleven o’clock in the morning, the fowls went to roost and the cattle sought shelter as at night.

“The weather gradually improved as the spots disappeared from the sun, and the time of scarcity was succeeded by a season of abundance. So great was the yield in cereals during the three years immediately succeeding the scarcity of 1816-17, that wheat, which in those years readily commanded $2.50 per bushel, was sold in any quantity at thirty cents per bushel. I remember a reply made to my partner by a Mr. Underwood, in 1819, who asked if he was not buying too much wheat. He answered: ‘I will buy wheat as long as I can find thirty cents to pay for a bushel.

“The principal reason for this great decline in prices was, that every farmer exerted himself to raise the largest possible quantity of grain, believing that high prices would continue to rule. This was a great mistake, for the quantity produced was far more than sufficient to supply the local demand, and as no facilities by canal or railroad at that time existed to convey the surplus to market, ‑ to use a California expression ‑ grain naturally ‘tumbled to bed-rock prices.’

Text Box: Lucius Smith Graves, son of Samuel Graves “The means of transportation, however, were not long delayed. By the energy, enterprise, and perseverance of De Witt Clinton, then Governor of New York, aided by the efforts of Humphrey Howland, of Scipio, a canal was projected to connect the waters of Lake Erie with those of the Hudson River. The proposed canal was to be three hundred and sixty-three miles in length, and by its means a direct channel for freight and passenger traffic would be opened between Buffalo and Albany. The first advocate of this stupendous project was Jesse Hawley, who, in a series of articles published in 1807-8, under the nom de plume of ‘Hercules,’ set forth the feasibility and great importance of the enterprise. The work was not commenced, however, until 1817, when it was pushed with great energy until its completion in 1825, and on the second day of November of that year the consummation of this great work was celebrated by the firing of cannon along the whole line. I was at that time Superintendent of the Arsenal at Batavia ‑ having been appointed to that position several months previously ‑ and received orders to fire a salute of one hundred guns on that day, commencing at meridian. It is needless to say that the order was cheerfully obeyed.

“At the time of Mr. Graves’s arrival in Auburn, accompanied by his partner…he was twenty-two years of age… In figure he was somewhat slender, but well and firmly knit, straight as an arrow, measuring five feet and ten inches in height, and weighing one hundred and thirty-two pounds. He was industrious and frugal in his habits, and, to use his own words, “had neither time nor inclination to cultivate idle or vicious practices.”

There were two persons in Auburn at the time of Mr. Graves’s advent, engaged in the business of manufacturing and repairing watches and jewelry. Upon these artisans our young adventurers called, and, introducing themselves, made known their intention of establishing themselves in the same line. The first upon whom they called expressed his willingness somewhat sneeringly, to have them try the experiment; but the second, an aged Quaker, said: “Wal, boys, I think thee has driven thy pigs to a poor market.” Two years afterwards jeweler No. 1 had sold out his business and gone to farming, and the venerable Friend who had so tersely expressed his lack of confidence in the pig market was glad to find employment with the new firm.

Text Box: Hannah Sophia Graves and Elizabeth Graves Vail, daughters of Samuel and Polly The aforesaid Quaker claimed to have made the first watch manufactured in America, and Mr. Graves said he had reason to believe the statement was correct. The name of this ancient horologer was Peter Fields.

Mr. Graves continued to do a successful business in Auburn until 1824, when he was induced to close out and remove to the town of Batavia ‑ a change which he subsequently had reason to regret as a financial failure.

In the summer of 1825 General La Fayette, accompanied by his son, passed through Rochester, on his way to New York. The municipality of Rochester gave a public entertainment in honor of the distinguished visitors, to which Mr. Graves was invited, and was introduced to La Fayette as a brother Mason. He was also introduced to the younger La Fayette and a companion who traveled with them but whose name is not given. Of this entertainment Mr. Graves says:-

“The Mayor of Rochester presided at the head table, and on his right sat General La Fayette, his son, and traveling companion. The tables were loaded with the luxuries of the season, and after the cloth was removed speeches were made by the Mayor, General La Fayette, and others, and the utmost good feeling prevailed.”

Mr. Graves was married on the twenty-third day of May, 1819, to Miss Polly Bostwick, daughter of the late William and Hannah Bostwick, of Auburn. The marriage was solemnized in St. Peter’s Church at that place, the Rector, Rev. Lucius Smith, formerly of Litchfield, Connecticut, officiating on the occasion. They were the first couple ever married in that Church, and also the first couple ever united in the bonds of wedlock by the Rector. The ceremony was performed during divine service in the afternoon, and attracted much attention, as marriages in churches at that day were something of a novelty. The other churches were closed on that afternoon, and St. Peter’s was crowded to its utmost capacity. The bridesmaids were Misses Hannah Terry and Philura Bostwick, and the groomsmen were William W. Bostwick and John Porter. The marriage proved to be a most happy one, and for fifty-seven years this model couple rejoiced in each other’s joys and aided each other in bearing the burdens of life. Ten children were born to them: three died in infancy, two died at a later period, and five – three sons and two daughters – are now living.” (R‑13, R‑500)

From Sylvia Dodson Novak’s A History of The Grangers in Minnesota, the following Granger history is included. According to their son William’s and their granddaughter Mary Perry White’s obituaries, Mary and Irwin moved in 1854 from Pike, NY to a farm near Oberlin, Lorain Co., OH. They remained on this farm for seven years. Son Hiram and daughter Orilla left Ohio to homestead in Minnesota in 1859, the year it became a state. They built log homes in “the deep woods”[69] of Le Sueur County. Dissatisfied to be so far away from part of their family, Mary and Irwin left Ohio, along with daughters, Sabra and Sarah, son, William, and Sabra’s 3-year old son, Frank, and traveled 31 days by covered wagon to join Hiram and Orilla in Minnesota. It was said they brought the first team of horses to be driven in Le Sueur County and later built the first frame house in Le Sueur County. “It was said that Irwin could not tolerate the hard work of the settler’s life. He died of pneumonia on March 4, 1864, twelve days short of his 59^th birthday. Mary died Aug. 15, 1900, one month shy of her 89^th birthday.” (R‑148)

Joel Spencer (or Spenser) Graves (1205) was born 15 June 1812 in Rupert, Bennington Co., VT, and died 11 May 1887 in TyTy, Tift Co., GA. He married Eunice Whedon, daughter of Robert Whedon, on 6 Sept. 1836 in Hebron, Washington Co., NY. She was born 25 April 1813 in Hebron, NY and died 25 Aug. 1878. She was a sister of Naomi Whedon who married Joel's brother Eli. After Eunice died, Joel married second Amanda ‑‑‑‑‑‑. Joel and Eunice were buried in the Greenfield Cem., Greenfield, Colquitt Co., GA.[77]

Joel's family moved to Fair Haven, Rutland Co., VT in April 1825. He studied at Middlebury College (VT), where he graduated in 1833. They had moved to Florida by Jan. 1837, when he became headmaster of the Jefferson County Academy (History of Jefferson Co., Fla., p. 49). In 1839 the Presbyterians and the Episcopalians in Monticello had decided to form separate congregations. Although Joel had seemed to be the most probable candidate to be called, several potential members were opposed to him, wanting "a more interesting preacher" (History of Jefferson Co., Fla., p. 56). Eunice was one of the original members of the Monticello Presbyterian Church (ibid.). According to family accounts, Joel had originally gone to Florida for his health. Based on the 1840 census for Monticello, Jefferson Co., FL, Joel had become a slave owner with eight slaves: five males and three females. He had begun a woolen mill, and some of his slaves were working in there. His mill was known as Messrs. Graves, Moore, and Co. Based on family correspondence, the mill appears to have reworked wool rugs. He also seems to have held part interest in a northern firm.

By 1849 he had moved to Thomas Co., GA, where he followed Eli as pastor of Old Boston Church. In 1851 he moved farther north in then-Thomas Co. (later Colquitt Co.) to a point near Moultrie. There he built a grist mill, a set of wool cards, and a barrel factory. All three were housed in a three-story frame building and were steam powered. He also built a dam to supply water. The town was called Greenfield. At its height, the mill employed between fifty and sixty men. Using the 1857 Colquitt Co. tax digest, we find that Joel owned 8,700 acres valued at $16,000. His other property was valued at $19,000. His sister Ruth owned 490 acres valued at $2,000. On the eve of the Civil War, he was a very prosperous man.

Joel founded a Presbyterian church. Based on the social schedule of the 1860 census, the Greenfield church was the most valuable building used by any denomination. Part of the building was used as a school by his sister Ruth and his daughter Roxana. Joel had been received into the Florida Presbytery in 1842 "without charge;" he was stated supply for Monticello from 1843 to 1848. In 1849 he became stated supply for Old Boston. The Greenfield church was received into the Florida Presbytery in 1851. He served as pastor of Greenfield until 1865. The following entry is made regarding Joel in April of 1865 in the minutes of the presbytery, "to have left the country and gone over to the enemy; name dropped." His later relationship to other presbyteries is not known, but he was known as a Presbyterian minister in the various Georgia Gazetteers during the 1880's. His son, Charles, wrote of Joel's later ministerial career as helping to found the Worth Co. Sunday School Association. At that time he was the pastor of the Hillsdale Presbyterian Church.

For Joel, the Civil War was costly in terms of wealth and potential danger. He lost control of his factory to the Confederate Navy, which was concerned about the availability of barrels for naval stores. He was made manager of his own factory. His sons were enrolled as members of the Confederate Navy. As members of the Navy, they were able to avoid active duty as soldiers. After Sherman invaded Georgia, Gov. Brown called up every available man to protect the home front. On 27 Aug. 1864, Joel's sons Nathan, Spencer, and Charles, and his son-in-law Oliver Hays were drafted. Upon appeal of Maj. Hickman, supervisor of the naval depot in Albany, they were deferred. The governor's personal correspondence confirms this event. Between the letters of Aug. 1864 and the action of the Presbytery on 7 April 1865, Joel had fled to New York and thence to Illinois. These events are confirmed by family tradition and a contemporary account in the Fair Haven History. Using the same sources, Joel was noted as being threatened with lynching and was robbed during his flight to New York. Joel eventually returned to Georgia and settled in Worth Co. as a mill owner. His last home was at Hillsdale, GA. There he and Spencer owned several grist and lumber mills. While at Hillsdale, Joel and Maj. Peter Pelham founded the first Sunday School Association in 1881. This union program was a dynamic institution for many years. After Joel died, the town of Hillsdale faded away. It joined the fate of Old Greenfield by becoming only a memory of an older generation.

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (467)

Ezra Graves (1340) was born 1 Dec. 1803 in Russia, Herkimer Co., NY, and died 8 Jan. 1883 in Herkimer, NY. He married Maria Card, daughter of Jonathan Card and Sally Holmes, on 13 Oct. 1825. She was born 31 Aug. 1803 in what was formerly known as “Card City” on Black Creek, now Newport, Herkimer Co., NY, and died 23 Aug. 1884.

He taught school for several years and was teaching in a select school in Newport, NY when he married. He learned the trade of tanner and currier and established a tannery in Florence, Oneida Co., NY, but returned to Herkimer Co. in 1829 to fill the office of under sheriff under his father, Hon. John Graves, who was high sheriff of Herkimer Co. from 1829-1831.

Until he returned to Herkimer Co., the office of under sheriff was filled by the Hon. F. E. Spinner, U.S. Treasurer under President Lincoln. While serving as under sheriff, Ezra read law in the office of Judge Charles Gray and, after he was admitted to the bar, practiced his profession at Herkimer, NY and was pronounced by Judge Hiram Denis to be one of the best equity lawyers in the state. He was appointed by the governor of the state of New York to the position of county judge and surrogate of Herkimer Co. and held that position for fifteen years. He was subsequently state prison inspector of New York State from 1873 to 1875 and introduced many reforms in prison management. He continued the practice of his profession until the time of his death and was frequently a referee in important cases.

He was a member of the State Constitutional Convention of 1867 and favored giving suffrage to women just as soon as a majority of them desired it. In his History of Herkimer County, Judge George A. Hardin of the Appellate Court of the State of New York says of Judge Graves, "As a lawyer he was a good speaker, a conscientious advisor, and an upright practitioner. During all the years of his judicial life he was honored alike for his ability, his fairness, and good judgement. He was a strong man and a good man. Strong in his determined will to achieve what he set out to do, good in all that goes to make up true manhood." Rev. J. J. Brayton in the address at the funeral of Judge Graves said, "His name, so long a household word spoken with respect and honor, will be held henceforth in that veneration with which gratitude clothes the memory of those who have been the exemplars and benefactors of mankind."

Judge Graves in early manhood took a great interest in military affairs and was captain in the 68th Regt. of light infantry in 1827 under Gov. DeWitt Clinton. He was commissioned as judge advocate in the Fourth Brigade of Riflemen by Governor Silas Wright and held the same office in the Fourth Division of Rifles under Governor William C. Bouck.

He was a staunch member of the Universalist Church, an active and devoted Free Mason for nearly sixty years, and served for eight years as the first Master of Herkimer Lodge, No. 423. He belonged to the Democratic party until the question of introducing slavery into new territories came up, when he took part in organizing the Republican party and was chairman of the first Republican State Convention in New York State.

He and his wife were buried in the family lot in Oak Hill Cemetery at Herkimer, NY. After his first child, who was born in Florence, Oneida Co., NY, his next seven children were born in Herkimer, NY. (R‑119, R‑500)

He married Margaret Smith, daughter of Oziel Smith and Phebe Norton, on 21 April 1842 in Williamsville, Erie Co., NY. She was born 27 Feb. 1821 in Williamsville, NY, and died 14 March 1903 in Union Springs, NY.

He graduated from Union College in 1841. He was a member of the Assembly of the state of New York in 1859 and supervisor of the town of Russia during the Civil War, and materially assisted in furnishing troops and caring for their families. He was a man of broad culture and good judgement and was universally respected.

According to the History of Herkimer County, Solomon taught school for a short time, and then engaged in farming on his homestead until 1850. He next purchased property in Geneva and lived there only a short time before returning to his old home where he remained until 1873. Solomon sold his farm and in 1876 went to Washington, DC and engaged in the manufacture of ornamental and architectural terra cotta work and sewer pipe for four years. In 1889, he bought back his farm. Solomon was a Republican and was school commissioner for many years. In 1859, he represented the first district of Herkimer County in the Assembly.

He was buried in the family lot at Gravesville in the town of Russia in Herkimer Co., where his parents and other members of the family had been buried. His wife was cremated 17 March 1903 at Buffalo, NY and the ashes deposited in the grave with her mother's at Williamsville. Their children were born in Herkimer Co., NY. (R‑121, R‑500)

Text Box: Norman Alonzo Graves & Family Mary Ann Graves, Lewis O. Graves (standing), Charles Graves, Dell Graves An 1882 History of Holt Twp. (Fillmore Co., MN) notes that Norman “procured the establishment of a Post-office in 1857 and was the first Postmaster. The office was at his residence up to 1861, when the place was given to Mr. Shattuck. After one year it went to the store of Jones & Onstine, and it has since been kept there, Mr. A. D. Elliot is the present Postmaster. When first established, the mail was brought by different persons for some time until a route was opened from LaCresent by the way of Hokah, Houston, Dedham or Yucatan, Highland, and Preston, the carrier making the trip weekly, and not unfrequently on foot when the roads were impassable for teams. Since the railroads the service has been daily” (p. 387). This history also notes that Norman bought 160 acres of “school land in section thirty-six,” where he lived, and that he “secured the organization of the school district,” carrying “the petition for the establishment of the district to Preston on snowshoes.” (pp. 383-384)

Mary Ann and Norman’s obituaries are as follows:

“Another Old Pioneer Gone.

DIED: At her home in Highland, MN, Dec. 19^th, 1902, of uremic poisoning, probably due to fatty degeneration of the kidneys, Mrs. Mary Ann Graves, wife of N. A. Graves.

Deceased was born in Dutchess county, N.Y., May 23d, 1826. When five years of age her parents moved to Cuyahoga county, Ohio. There she grew to womanhood and on Dec. 31^st, 1847, was united in marriage to N. A. Graves. After a few years spent on an unproductive Ohio farm, the young couple became impressed with the possibilities of the “land beyond the Mississippi,” and reached the old Russell farm, now owned by T. T. Johnson, Nov. 7^th, 1856. Remaining sheltered with these neighbors only long enough to get a load of household goods from Brownsville they moved into their new home, a little log cabin built under the shelter of the grove just north of Highland.

Here they began at the very bottom of the ladder, the struggle for a home and competence.

Ever ready to do more than her full duty deceased bore all the trials and burdens incident to pioneer life, and triumphing over disease, she was a life long sufferer from bronchial asthma, lived to see grandchildren grown to manhood and womanhood. Well may her children rise up and call her blessed for surely there never was a better mother. She was known far and wide as an efficient aid in times of trouble, and many were the sick beds to which “Aunt Mary Ann” was called with her gentle ministrations and cheery words of hope.

She was the mother of five children, two of whom survive her, C. O. [sic] Graves, the first born, formerly of Artesian, S.D., at present located at Buffalo, MO, and C. A. Graves, the third son, of Highland, Minn. Of those who have “gone on before” the second and fourth born, a son, and daughter died in infancy, and the youngest child, Mrs. R.N. Nunnemaker, died six years ago.

Her aged husband after almost fifty-five years of companionship is left at the age of eighty three to tread the few remaining steps of life’s journey alone. May loving hearts attend and loving hands care for him.”

“The Grand Old Man of Highland.

Norman Alonzo Graves was born in Oneida county, N.Y., May 15^th, 1819. With his parents he moved to Genesee county, N.Y., in 1822, and from there to Cuyahoga county, Ohio, in 1833.

Being of an active, enterprising disposition he followed different lines of work as a young man. Pushing ahead with the van guard he visited Indiana in an early day, being at one time together with another young man the only ones in an entire neighborhood not stricken down with ague, and obliged by the necessities of the case to travel and work night and day to care for the sick.

Following the “Westward ho!” instinct he pushed on through Michigan into Wisconsin, reaching the latter state in 1843. After many and varied experiences in these new territories he was himself stricken down with the pioneers’ enemy, malarial fever, and after a long sickness which reduced him to a shadow of his former self he recovered sufficiently to be able to return to his childhood’s home in Ohio for rest and recuperation. Here he became acquainted with Mary Ann Johnson to whom he was marriage [married] December 31^st, 1857 [sic]. After almost fifty years of companionship (her obituary says fifty five years) she preceded him into the valley of death by only a few short weeks.

After a few years on the worn out fields of an Ohio farm he determined to try his fortune in the then far off Minnesota. Coming to this state in October 1856 he chose as his location the farm he purchased when it came into the market where he resided until his death. Returning to Ohio he brought his wife and little son Lewis to their new home, reaching Highland, Fillmore county, November 7^th, 1856.

A man of ability and sterling common sense he was soon chosen to serve his neighbors as postmaster and justice of the peace which office he held for many years. He was also chosen county commissioner for one term. In many cases he proved himself a justice of the peace indeed, persuading angry litigants to settle their difficulties instead of invoking the law. In every way a model citizen he held the respect and esteem of all his neighbors and acquaintances and leaves a large circle of friends to mourn his death.” (R‑40, R‑500)

Julia Amarilla Graves (1397) was born 16 Feb. 1829 in Genesee Co., NY, and died 25 Aug. 1877. She married Andrew Shattuck, son of Nathaniel Shattuck and Sarah Briggs, on 28 June 1853 in Oberlin, Lorain Co., OH. He was born 4 July 1823 in Grafton, town of Orange, Grafton Co., NH, and died 27 May 1908 in Highland, Fillmore Co., MN.

“When she was four years old, the family moved to Cuyahaga [sic], Lorain Co., Ohio. Upon the death of her father, in her twelfth year, she became the close companion of her widowed mother, with whom she lived a sheltered life.

Local schools provided Julia with an excellent education and a scholarship to nearby Oberlin College, which she attended in 1851-1852. She studied Greek, English, elocution, mathematics, and subjects related to religion.

For a time (from 1852 through 1853), she taught in the rural schools of Lorain County, “boarding around,” and received $8.00 a month for her services.

On 28 June 1853, she married Andrew Shattuck in Russia, Lorain County, Ohio, joining the Methodist Church of which Andrew and his parents were members. (Julia and her parents were Congregationalists.) They began housekeeping on Andrew’s farm near Brownhelm, Ohio. The area was still rather wild, and life must have seemed rugged to this little brunette teacher. (She was less than five feet tall.)

One day, following a chicken dinner Julia tossed the bones out the back door. After dark, hearing a crunching sound, she threw open the kitchen door and saw a full-grown panther leap over the woodpile.

The two older children, “Ellen” and George, were born on this Ohio farm. In 1859 Andrew sold the farm and moved to Highland, Fillmore County, Minnesota. The six younger children were born in Highland.

Besides the primary interest in her family, Julia assisted her husband with the work of the Highland Post Office, located in the living room of their house. During these years (the 1860’s) a stage carried the mail from the railroad at Rushford, through Highland. The older children could later recall how the stage driver’s horn sounded from a distance, announcing the spirited arrival of the mail. After a few minutes for sorting and loading mail the stage dashed on in a cloud of dust.

During the Civil War, Julia Shattuck was often called upon to read letters and government notices to local Norweigan [sic] immigrants who had relatives in the Union Army.

The two older children, “Ellen” and George, attended school at Rushford for a “term,” living with the family of the Congregational pastor, Mr. William W. Snell. The six younger children attended the rural school north of Highland. “Bert” spent a winter at school in Wisconsin, and Abbie prepared for teaching by attending the Lanesboro Public School. Several of these children were avid readers. Thus they furthered the educational and religious training which their mother had so earnestly wished them to have, but which was not available in the pioneer community.

In August, 1877, when her youngest child, Abbie, was six years old, Julia suddenly became desperately ill with what may have been peritonitis, lingered to suffer for three days, and died. She was buried in the old cemetery a half mile north of Highland.

Life was very difficult for the motherless family. The religious training given by this teacher-mother left an indelible impression on her children. They all became self-respecting, high-minded men and women, loyal to the ethics they had learned early in life. It was a matter of pride to them that, in their generation of the Andrew Shattuck family, there were no users of alcohol nor tobacco. Although none were naturally especially aggressive, all were interested in various forms of social progress and in new and better ways of doing things.” (R‑40, R‑500)

CHILDREN OF LUCY GRAVES (517) AND ASA ALLEN

Daniel Jones Allen (1528) was born 17 Aug. 1836 and died in March 1928. He married Ruth A. Buck on 28 Dec. 1856. She died 3 Jan. 1913.

A summary of his life stated: “In Daniel J. Allen’s early life he was a farmer and taught school winters. He felt a “call” to preach – he was a Baptist – but did not follow “the call” til later in life when living in Elmira, NY. Then he was asked to do some evangelistic work by the Rev. Henry, a famous preacher of the Baptist denomination, and followed that by preaching. He preached at Howard, NY for fifteen years. They thought enough of him so that years after he left, in repairing the church, put in a window in his memory. He is still living, but has recently given up preaching.”

Their children were born in East Smithfield, PA. (R‑178)

John Thurman Graves (1534) was born 24 June 1838 in Lockport, Niagara Co., NY, and died 22 Jan. 1920 in Seville, Medina Co., OH. He was an attorney-at-law in Medina, Ohio and had been mayor of Seville. He was prosecuting attorney and probate judge of Medina Co. and city solicitor.

His obituary reads:

“Judge Graves undoubtedly died on Thursday, Jan. 22, although his death was not known until the following day. He has been living alone, by his own volition and insistance [sic], although in feeble health, in his home on South Broadway, taking his meals at the White Front restaurant. The last meal he appeared there was for breakfast on Thursday morning. Friday morning, Mrs. George Shane, who lived next door, became alarmed because she had not seen him for 24 hours, and asked Mail Carrier Tanner, when he appeared on the morning delivery, to investigate. Tanner entered the house and found the dead body of Judge Graves in a chair before a gas stove. The judge had evidently sat down immediately on entering the house on the morning before, for he had not removed his hat or overcoat, and had suffered a stroke. The gas was turned on full and so close had the judge drawn up his chair that his body was severely burned in many places and the chair itself was blazing, so that it would have been only a short time before the house would have caught fire.

John Thurman Graves was born June 24, 1838, on the banks of the Erie canal, near Lockport, Niagara county., N.Y., the son of Ansel and Sophia (Leland) Graves. His father was a practical farmer and in 1846, moved to Medina county, Ohio, locating on a farm in the southern part of Guilford Twp., moving to Seville nearly 35 years later. The son received a common school education and also attended the old academy at Seville and S. G. Brainard’s normal school at Medina. When 18 years of age, he commenced teaching school, which he followed for many years during the winter season. In 1864, he was in his country’s service as a member of Co. F, 166^th O.N.G. He commenced reading law in 1861, although he had no idea of practicing. His health would not admit of close application to study, and he came to the conclusion that he had best forego the completion of his studies. However, he was admitted to the bar in 1871, and in 1875 entered Judge J. C. Johnson’s office at Seville. The same day he received, unsolicited, the Republican’s nomination for prosecuting attorney, and was twice elected to that office. He was elected member of the town council of Seville. In 187‑, and in the following spring was elected mayor of Seville, being re-elected in 1884. In 1884, he was elected on the Republican ticket, probate judge and re-elected in 1887. When he entered upon that office he removed to Medina and has kept his home here since being elected solicitor of the town in 1894, but declining a second term in 1896. When the infirmities of age came upon him, he gradually withdrew from practice.” (R‑96, R‑500)

Harriet Sophie Graves (1536) was born 28 March 1843 in Lockport, Niagara Co., NY, died 27 May 1927 in Seville, Medina Co. OH, and was buried 30 May 1927 in the Mound Hill Cem., Guilford Twp., Medina Co., OH. She married George R. McDowell on 2 July 1863 (or 1862 per R‑500). Her obituary reads:

“Mrs. Harriet McDowell was born March 28, 1843 in or near Lockport, N.Y., and was one of seven children. She died at the home of Mrs. Edwin Miller, her daughter, on May 27, 1927 in Seville, Ohio, at the advanced age of 84 years. She was married to Geo. McDowell on July 2, 1863 and to the union were born four children. With the exception of a few years residence in Chicago her entire life was lived in or about Seville.

Her young and middle life were contemperaneous [sic] and prominent with those who made history in Medina county 40 to 60 years ago, and who made it possible for the following generations to reap the reward today of privation, virtue and toil for which her generation was known.

Mrs. McDowell was of a domestic nature and found her greatest joy in the home and among her children, and to the last her advice and counsel was sought and heeded by all those near her.

She was spared to a ripe but useful old age, passing away peacefully and willingly in the full belief that somewhere beyond a place awaited her where pain and sorrow had no place.

Her general outlook upon life was optimistic and that of a faithful, modest, willing mother, and her children on Sunday, May 30^th, with loving hands performed the last sad rites possible for a child to give, laying her away in Mound Hill cemetery beside the father who had gone before.

Mrs. McDowell leaves four children to mourn her passing, Mrs. E. J. Miller of Seville, Mrs. Guy Fox of Chicago, Miss Georgia McDowell of Seattle and Dr. Edward B. McDowell of Pasadena, Calif.

Her place can never be filled in this life. We loved her and we miss her...” (R‑96, R‑500)

Like her father, James Graves, she botanized out in the woods and did pencil drawings of plants. From family hearsay and Skinner's book, the impression is that she was a lovely and talented person. Mary was in the 1920 census for Susquehanna Depot, Susquehanna Co., PA, single, working as a school teacher, with her widowed mother living with her. She couldn’t be found in the 1930 census.

CHILDREN OF ARIEL GRAVES (521) AND CAROLINE STEWART

Dudley Graves (1542) was born 19 Nov. 1790 (calculated) in Colchester, New London Co., CT, and died 4 (or 14) Nov. 1867 (age 76 yr., 11m. 15 d.) in Appleton, Outagamie Co., WI. His death notice in the Appleton Crescent (Nov. 23, 1867, p. 2) states that he died “after a painful illness.” He was listed in the 1820 and 1830 censuses for Cortland Co., NY, the 1850 census for Racine Co., WI, and the 1860 census for Appleton, WI. He was a trustee of the Methodist Episcopal Church in West Lincklaen, Chenango Co., NY in 1841. He is also said to have enlisted in the War of 1812 but saw no service. He married Esther Marble, daughter of Ephraim Marble and Hannah Davis, on 4 July 1810, probably in Onondaga or Otsego Co., NY. She was born 1 Jan. 1791 in Vermont (probably Pittsford), and died 25 July 1872 in Appleton, WI. She was listed in the 1870 census for Appleton. Dudley and Esther were buried in Riverside Cem. in Appleton (lot 9, block T).

The First Society of the M.E. Church in West Lincklaen, NY was organized 27 April 1841 at a meeting “of the male persons of full age belonging to the M.E. church in the Town of Lincklaen." Dudley Graves was elected one of the trustees.[89]

By October 1850, Dudley Graves had moved to Racine Co., WI and was living with his wife Esther, both age 59, in the town of Rochester where Dudley was a farmer. They were living in Appleton, WI by 1855 where they were listed in the state census. Esther Graves in a letter to her son Harvey who had recently moved to Illinois, revealed some of the daily life and concerns of the time. (Written Appleton, May 1856, the original is now in the possession of a descendant of William Ralph) (paragraphs, punctuation, and capitalization added).

“To Eh and Maria Graves:

Dear children, we have received a letter from you since we rote to you. Intended to have answered yours long before now but tis better late than never. I am thankful that I am able to say that we are about as well as usual and hope this may reach you and find you all well. We want to see you verry much. It seems hard to be seperated from you, but I hope it is for the best for you. We hope you and your br Nathan and sister Caroline are taking comfort in each other’s society.

O, how I should like to see you all and your dear children but tis not much likely that I ever shall. My health is poor and has been all winter. I did not expect much to see this time. I had some verry sick spells last winter.

It was verry cold. I suppose we have had the hardiest winter here that has been since we lived in Wisconsin. Hay from 15 to 20 dollars per ton, pork 30 dollars per barrell, flour 6 dollars barrell, butter 25 to 33, maple sugar one shilling, coffee sugar 18 (?) on sale, sugar fifteen cts, dried fruit very scarce and high, corn one dollar, potatoe 5 shillings, and so on. Money quite scarce. The season is verry backward. We have cool nights, not verry warm days. March was a pleasant month. We had a cold snowy cold April. Tis quite warm today. People are just beginning to plant now. The weather is verry dry.

Miss Webly died about the 11^th of March. The two Miss Whartons have got babys. I cannot tell you about the rest, but there is quite a number of little folks come to town since you went away, most all girls. John Marble’s wife has a girl, and Frederick Border [Lorder?] wife a girl. They are your Uncle Nathan’s children.

Now I must tell you about your brother Wm and sister Rachel. They [were] well a few days ago. We had two letters from Lakeport since we have rote to them.

Wealthy rote some to us but was not able to rite much. Lucy does most all the riting letters to us.

Mary and Wm live in the house you left. We git along quite plesantly.

We think of you daily and almost hourly. And that is all. You must rite to us often as you can, because we are thankful for the letters we receive from you. Tell me, my children, have you sought the Lord and seed an interest in the Saviour? If I could hear that my children in that place was walking in the paths of wisdom and righteousness, o, it would be the happyist news I could hear. Do make up your minds to be the Lord’s own dear children. I want to meet you all in heaven. It seems to me I cannot give up my children to sin and satan. The thought is too much to bear. You may remember this: your poor old mother will pray for you while I have praying breath, but I will hope you have found the pearl of great price.

Please rite often as you can. Your father sends his best love to you all. His health is not good but he keeps to work. He has had a hard time to get his cattle wintered but they look well now. He gets three dollars a day for plowing. Now Harvy and Maria, I must bid you good by. I hope you will excuse mistakes, and remember this comes from your aged affectionate mother, Esther Graves.

Now, Vetty [Sylvester], what shall Granma say to you? Have you almost forgotten me and Granpa? We have not forgotten you. No, you are dear to our own harts. We think of you much of the time and hope you are a good boy. Don’t play with wicked children. They be learn you to be wicked and then you will not be happy. Sylvester, I want you to pray to the Lord and love him and he will love you.

To Nathan and Caroline I think I will rite a few lines to you, altho you do not take the pains to rite to us. But if you don’t care to rite to us I cannot give you up. You are dear to my heart and I shall remember you with love and affection while the powers of my mind are retained. I fondly hope that you and family are well and doing well for souls and bodys. It would do me more good to hear that you are laying up treasures in heaven than any news aside from this. What are they? Things of this world, we must leve all in a short time at the most and then this world cannot afford any consolation. Don’t forget that you are mortals born to die. Seek first the kingdom of god and its righteousness and all things necessary shall be added to you. May it be so is the sincere desire and prayer of your aged mother. My children, what can I say? The affairs of your souls lies heavy on my mind. I want to meet you in heaven. I do not expect to meet you again in this world.

And now I must give up scribbling soon. It hurts me to rite. Besides, I don’t no as you can read this. I would say we have a letter from Wealthy and Lucy lately. They are well as usual. Lucy says tell Uncle Nathan I shall answer his letter soon. Tell his girl I should be glad to have a letter from her. She thinks we live near each other.

Lucia E., why don’t you rite to your granparents? We should be glad of a letter from you and David and Maria. How glad I would be to see you all!

Don’t forget that you must die. We no not how soon. May [you] shun vice and folly, and walk in wisdom’s ways, and be happy in this world, and in the world to come.

E. Graves. Your father sends love to you.

All your husband’s sisters are well. They send their love to you. All want you to rite and they will answer your letters. Just heard from Lydia and family. All well.

I began this about a week ago. The weather seems more favorable than hereto fore. Flour seven dollars per barrel. My love to all. Farewell, E. Graves.

May 27^th [1856] Dear children,

We received your (?) heavy letter last night. We was glad to hear from you all. Now, my children, we hope you can time to rite to us and may the Lord bless you all. EG

Mr. Kendrick has let your father have a note of fifty dollars against Mr. Stewart. He has paid 25 dollars of it, but it took that and much more to get our cattle through the winter. It has been hard times to get money and everything we buy but we hope to be able to [get] some for hay. We will cut as soon as we can.”

Sylvester Graves described his boyhood memories of Dudley and Esther Graves:

“My grandparents were very strong Methodists and there were a great many devout Methodists among the Indians. Appleton was the headquarters, as it still is, of the Methodist Church. At every quarterly meeting the old chieftains of the United Tribe would come from the Indian Reservation to attend those meetings, and many of them were quartered with my grandparents. Each Indian was given a blanket in which he rolled himself up on the floor of their house. To me it was very interesting. Every night they held a sort of prayer meeting.”[90] (R‑6, R‑25, R‑500)

Children - Graves

3171. Elbert Graves, b. 2 Sept. 1813 (NY). This name is from the Bible record, and some who have seen the Bible have interpreted the name to be “Eldest.” Since there is no further mention of him in the Bible, it is likely that he was stillborn or died very young. An Albert Graves was m. 10 May 1868 (Racine Co. marriage records 01-0444), but this reference has not been checked.

CHILDREN OF LEWIS GRAVES (602) AND C. ELIZABETH NEWTON

David Anthony Graves (1635) was born 9 Nov. 1821 in East Burke, Franklin Co., NY, and died 12 March 1883 in East Burke, NY. He married Susan Ann Lanctot, daughter of Edourd Lanctot and Evadney Hall, on 3 Aug. 1842. She was born 3 Nov. 1822 in St. Martens, Quebec, Canada, and died 15 April 1891 in Burke, NY.

The following paragraphs are from letters from son W. E. Graves in 1936: “Susan’s father was a judge in French Canada and was of Huguenot descent. Her mother was of an English family. They had a large farm at the junction of the Chateaugay and Black rivers. The house and farm buildings were of the rambling old type of the French chateaus and it was a very lovely place to go. Grandpa would take the children in his lap and sing French songs to them in a very good voice. Grandma always had brown bread and ginger cookies in the tall old cupboard in the corner. My mother was a handsome woman, with dark hair, blue gray eyes, and a fine complexion. She loved music, good books, and nature, and tried to instill the same love in her children. Her daughter Frances had a fine contralto voice, sang in church choirs and in local concerts. Mother was known as Aunt Susan to her nephews and nieces as well as to the neighbors’ children. At the same time, she could rise to an emergency with great vigor. As a child, I can well remember her with a broom handle, chasing a burly drunkard off the premises, whose meek little wife had sought refuge with “Aunt Susan”. She was a hard worker, endowed with splendid health, and she had the faculty of making the most out of little until it seemed almost like an art. She was a member of the Methodist Church, a consistent working Christian, and was loved and respected by all who came in contact with her.

My father, David Anthony Graves, lived on the farm in Burke with his parents, his three brothers, Norman, Charles, and John, and his two sisters, Caroline and Eunice. When he was seventeen years of age, he was apprenticed to a shoemaker in Gouverneur, NY, and his first work was to saw and split cord wood to keep the shop warm. He got very tired of this. One day the master came along and father said, “Watch me saw”. He tore into it real hard. Then he asked the master if he thought that anyone could have done better or faster, and the master said that he did not think that anyone could have done better. Father then threw the saw on top of the wood pile, saying, “I have got that trade learned. Now put me in the shop.” The master was so pleased that he gave him a bench at once. At the age of”… (the remainder of the page is missing). (R‑24, R‑46, R‑500)

CHILDREN OF POLLY GRAVES (623) AND JOSEPH SMITH

Text Box: Columbus Smith Columbus Smith (1686) was born 6 Jan. 1819 in Salisbury, Addison Co., VT, and died 20 Nov. 1909 at Shard Villa in West Salisbury, Addison Co., VT. He married Harriet P. Jones on 27 Feb. 1866. The following account of Columbus’ life was taken from a book (title unknown):

“Columbus Smith received a common school education, and entered Middlebury college from which he was graduated in 1842. After his graduation he made with a friend, Henry Merrill, the son of Rev. Dr. Merrill of Middlebury, a long tour of the southern states, spending some time in Virginia and Louisiana. Travel in those days was of rare occurrence and fraught with much greater difficulty than in this generation, and they made their entire journey by stagecoach, canals and river steamboats, which must have been an extremely interesting and valuable excursion for these two young college graduates. Some time was spent in teaching school and studying law. After being admitted to the Vermont bar he followed for many years the profession of law, making a specialty of obtaining inheritances in Great Britain and the colonies for heirs in this country. He was engaged for fifteen years consecutively in the British Court of Claims. Although he never opened a law office in Vermont, as he went to London soon after being admitted to the bar, yet he continued to make English collections from this State for many years.

Mr. Smith was married Feb. 27, 1866, to Harriet P. Jones of Claremont, N. H. They were married at Trinity church, Claremont, by Bishop Carlton Chase assisted by Rev. J. M. Peck. Two children, William Joseph C. and Mary Elizabeth Mann (Mrs. Alexander E. McDowell), were born to them. Mrs. Smith, as well as Mr. Smith, was of Connecticut origin, being connected with the Beechers and Manns of that state.

It would be a hard task for one to write an adequate biography of the life of Mr. Smith. So varied were his interests, his achievements so great, and his life as a man so interesting, that it would seem as if it required different hands to deal with his many capacities. He was a lawyer of exceptional ability, an educator, real estate dealer, genealogist and always a great student. His interests were world wide. Whether his mind was occupied with the hieroglyphics of Egypt, conditions in England, or, perhaps in our own country, his grasp and understanding of the subject was nothing short of marvelous. A remarkable memory occupied with equally good judgement, keen penetration and industrious and regular habits of thinking, filled his mind until it was a richly stored treasure house of valuable knowledge. From it he was ever ready to draw and he was a talented raconteur. People would sit as in a spell to hear him relate experiences of travel in various countries, while he seemed to have the ability to clothe each trivial incident with such interest that one afterward found it fast rooted in his memory.

The first piece of marble taken from the United States to Europe was taken by Mr. Smith in 1850 from Brandon, VT, to London. He was the author of Report to the Innis Association of the United States, and other works.

Through the study of many old records in connection with his law business, he developed an interest in chirography, becoming, as he seemed to become upon every subject to which he turned his attention, an expert.

Mr. Smith’s example of keeping his family place in Vermont, buying and adding to it many farms, making it into a large estate similar to the fine old English places, is now being followed by many wealthy Americans. By buying and preserving tracts of woodland, that would doubtless otherwise have been completely destroyed, he has been a benefactor to the country. His interest in the subject of Forestry is shown by a clause in his will which exempts from cutting the swamp lands owned by him in Cornwall. In these and many other ways we may truly say that he was in advance of his time. We feel that especially was he foresighted in regard to his views upon the politics of this country. Already to our mind do these political views of his appear to be justified and are becoming more and more common to the men of great mental ability. On account of his views he never accepted political office, although he had an unusual insight into the affairs of this country through which he had travelled so much.

He crossed the ocean twelve times, which was considered in the early days quite remarkable. His first journey to England in the interests of the Shard case was made in a sailing vessel, and they were three months in crossing. On his return to Trenton, N. J., for evidence, he came on the first Cunarder that crossed the ocean.

It is frequently noted in biographical sketches that a man’s surroundings are considered almost to the exclusion of the man himself. This could not possibly be so in the case of Mr. Smith. So strong was his personality that everything about him partook of his nature. We have never known a man more just than he. He was honorable and just in all his dealings and in all his relationships of life. In his home his quiet nature found peace and happiness and it truly was an ideal home. To those who knew and loved him best his memory is as one almost perfect for which words are all inadequate.

For about seven years before his death he was deprived of the power to walk by an accident. During the long period of his illness he was constantly attended by his faithful and loving wife.”

Mr. Smith was the last surviving member of the class of ’42 of Middlebury College. The following extract is from an article published in the 1907 July number of “The Middlebury Campus:”

“The lives of but few of our graduates have been led into labors touching so much of romance, and the complete story of his professional experience would be a fascinating one. He was admitted to the bar six years after his graduation from college, and has made a specialty of obtaining inheritances in Great Britain and the colonies for heirs in this country. One of the properties thus secured for the rightful heirs was the Shard estate of $300,000, and the beautiful home of Mr. Smith gets its name from that circumstance. The Shard contest was a remarkable one. Mr. Smith was obliged to fight the crown and several sets of claimants using forgery for their weapon, and Governor Slade told him that not another man in Vermont could have won the case. It occupied the court forty days. His success brought other cases to him, and for many years he was occupied in labors of a similar nature. He found a property for the Astors, also a large property for a poor shoemaker in Wisconsin, and several properties for Philadelphians, where the next of kin had found homes in America. The story of some of these cases, especially the very romantic one of Frances Mary Shard, was written several years ago from the diary of Mr. Smith, but after the sudden death of the author, Robert Morris Copeland, both diary and manuscript disappeared and have never been recovered. It is much to be hoped that the Copeland papers may eventually come to light, in which event their publication in book form will follow.”

The following description of Columbus’ home, Shard Villa, is taken from the same book:

“There is no more beautiful spot in Vermont than that chosen by Columbus Smith in the town of Salisbury for his home. It is located on a rising piece of ground from which the broad acres of Otter Creek valley slope away, and across which the eye travels until arrested on the east by the softly rolling Green Mountains of Vermont and on the west by the imposing Adirondacks of New York. Many small farms have been united to form this large estate, while the immediate grounds about Shard Villa, including several acres, are enclosed by a massive stone wall with an impressive gateway at the main entrance. The landscape gardener, Robert Morris Copeland, assisted Mr. Smith in the arrangement of the grounds and a large variety of trees are effectively grouped on the sloping lawn. The house itself, built of two shades of grey stone, is an imposing foreign looking structure and will stand for ages, so well is it built. By climbing the high tower one can look for miles in all directions, on a clear day sighting Lake Champlain, 30 miles away. The woods used in finishing the interior of the house are very beautiful, while mural decorations done by an Italian artist and largely copied from an old Italian villa, made the house, until quit recent years, an unusual one in this country. People are apt not to understand or appreciate it until after traveling in foreign lands when they become accustomed to this style found in the castles and villas of older countries.

A panel in the front tower bears the words “Shard Villa.” The story of how the house came to be so named is an interesting one and closely connected with Mr. Smith’s remarkable business career. In 1844, although so young a lawyer, he was urged by James Cook, a descendant of Frances Mary Shard, to go to England to look up some papers that he had some time before sent to Hon. Edward Everett, then consul to England. He was equipped with but little information excepting that the property of Frances Mary Shard, who had died in 1820 at Torbay House in the Parish of Paynton, Exeter county, had been taken possession of by the Crown since there were supposed to be no next of kin. The case was a very hard one, there were many claimants to fight, and it is little wonder during the 40 days in court the great mental strain should turn this young lawyer’s hair from brown to white. To undertake a case against the Crown was a daring undertaking, yet he won his case, retaining the best counsel against such men as Sir F. Thessenger, of the Queen’s Council, was rewarded with a verdict of £80,000 and also established a precedent so that other people could get their rights. While searching for records he found facts concerning many other cases which he collected, and after the “Shard” case he won many other becoming, in fact, as Irving Bacheller puts it, a “solver of mysteries, bestower of new fortunes, witness of romantic heart-stirring incidents beyond the imagination of the story-teller, and one of the most successful lawyers that ever won a verdict in the Court of Claims.”

The story of Frances Mary Shard, which Mr. Smith uncovered from the “litter of a hundred years,” is a most romantic one and has been published in story form by Irving Bacheller. It was for her that the handsome villa is named. Mr. Smith has willed this property, after the death of his wife, to be used for the purpose of founding a home for old Christian men and women not addicted to drink. Residents of Vermont are to have preference as inmates of this home and residents of Addison county are to have preference over those from other parts of the state.” (R‑48)

George’s granddaughter, Miss Lena Maye Graves, wrote:

“When Grandfather George Graves came to Willing Twp. with his young fourteen year old wife, they bought a tract of land which loosely surveyed was about a square mile. Their first task was the building of a log cabin and other buildings to house stock. They cleared the land by cutting trees and pulled the stumps with an ox team. As oxen were the draft animals of the time, my grandfather, assisted by my father [Roswell Graves #3669] started a blacksmith shop to make the shoes for them. This shop soon became the meeting place for the whole settlement as people from miles around came to have their horses and more often their oxen shod. During the pre-Civil War days, politics and slavery were often discussed. About this time the great [Abraham] Lincoln emerged from obscurity and became my father’s hero. Grandfather, who was ardent in his support of Lincoln had disagreements with a brother who did not share in his admiration of this great man. Those discussions in the shop were usually carried to the dinner table. Grandmother never knew how many extra guests she would have for a meal, but I think she enjoyed the talk as she read, whenever time permitted, and in the evening by the light from burning pine shavings.

It was a very eventful day in the life of my grandmother when she moved from the log cabin into a big new house, the lumber having been cut on their own land, with butternut trees used for woodwork. I think some of our modern generations are losing the pioneer spirit and it seems sad to no [sic] in a way because this spirit gave them such a zest for life and accomplishment.” (R‑32, R‑185, R‑500)

Jeremiah (“Jerry”) Benjamin Graves (1872) was born 19 Nov. 1816, and died 27 June 1886 in Eau Claire, Eau Claire Co., WI. He married Ann (or Anne) Mariah Hunter, daughter of William Hunter and Anne ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 16 Oct. 1840. She was born 16 Sept. 1820 in New York City, and died 17 Aug. 1897. Her father was born in Germany and her mother was born on a ship en route to America. The 1850 census indicates that this family was located in the town of Scio, Allegany Co., NY; and the 1855 census finds them in the town of Alma, NY, where Jeremiah owned and operated a farm. According to family legend, the family moved to Wisconsin in 1859, the journey being made in two wagons, via the Erie Canal to Buffalo, NY, then on a steamship across Lake Erie to Monroe, MI. In the 1860 census, they are found in Half Moon Village, Eau Claire Co., WI, but by the summer of 1862 at the time of the “great Indian scare,” the family was living on their farm in Spring Brook Twp., Dunn County, WI. It was here that Jeremiah remained for the rest of his life, according to the censuses from 1870 through 1885. Legend also states that Jeremiah did not allow his sons to enter the Civil War, keeping them on the farm until the war was over. Jeremiah and Ann were buried in Lake View Cemetery, Eau Claire, WI.

Both Hiram and Augusta belonged to the Episcopal Church and were extremely dedicated and active volunteers and participants in its many aspects and duties. All his children were born in San Francisco. Hiram was a member, along with seventy-nine other young men, of the Cayuga Joint Stock Co., which purchased the barque “Belvidere.” The barque, or bark, left New York on 24 Feb. 1849, sailed around Cape Horn, and arrived in San Francisco, CA on 12 Oct. 1849. Hiram, upon disembarking, went to the mining country for a short time but soon returned to San Francisco and entered the business world in several ways for the rest of his life.

The following information concerning the Berkeley Ferry & Railroad Company was found in a small newspaper, probably from the Society of California Pioneers:

“Out in Berkeley, the site of the new State University, transportation to and from San Francisco remained a problem until the early 1870’s. Up to that time, the only way to get from Berkeley to San Francisco was to take the steam dummy and horse car down Telegraph Road to the 7^th and Broadway Station, in Oakland, and then catch the local to the City.

It was felt by more than just a few that Berkeley, like Oakland and Alameda, should also have a direct rail-ferry line across the bay.

Text Box: Ferryboat “Lizzie” of Berkeley Ferry & Railroad Co. Hiram T. Graves was President. To attain this, Hiram T. Graves, Henry Durant, [the first president of the University of California at Berkeley] and other citizens of Berkeley, formed the Berkeley Ferry and Railroad Company in July 1874.

Their plan was to build a railroad down Shattuck Ave. to the bay at Ocean View. Here, at a place called Jacob’s Landing, a wharf would be built, and a fast steamer service across the bay would be provided.

With a capitalization of $1,000,000, construction of the wharf got under way immediately. By Oct. 1874, the pier was completed, but neither the railroad nor a ferry had been built. To provide interim service, the new company leased the ferry “Clinton” from the Contra Costa Steam Navigation Company.

Service was started with this boat on Friday, Oct. 2, 1874, with two crossings in each direction, daily. The ferry connected at Jacob’s Landing Wharf with a stage for University and Shattuck Aves.

On the following Thursday afternoon, the “Clinton” made a special trip across the bay with guests of both the railroad and the Berkeley Land and Improvement Association.

The occasion was the formal opening of the new transbay line.

It had been hoped to use the company steamer “Mare Island” but because the boat was not yet ready for service, the “Clinton” had to be used.

On the trip across the bay, the guests were treated to music by Alper’s Band, which on arrival at Jacob’s Landing struck up a quick step for the disembarking passengers. After the “Clinton” had tied up, the guests were invited to a nearby grove of willows where tables loaded with all forms of delicious food had been set up in the form of a Greek Cross.

After the food and champagne had been consumed, H. T. Graves, President of the railroad, welcomed everyone, and speeches were presented by Henry Durant and J. W. Winand, a Regent of the University.

Text Box: Hiram Throop Graves as a younger man The guests then attended an outdoor dance in an adjacent area that had been cleared and covered by a large tarpaulin.

Construction of the Berkeley Railroad began in 1875 and proceeded slowly down Shattuck Avenue.

Ultimately, the shore of the bay was reached, and with it the tracks of the Northern Railway, a Central Pacific subsidiary then a-building toward Martinez. So as to avoid building and maintaining a railroad crossing, and also to make use of superior wharf and ferry facilities, the Berkeley road concluded an agreement with the Central Pacific which allowed the latter road to take over their operations. This was done on Aug. 16, 1876, on which date ferry service to Jacob’s Landing ceased.”

The following obituary for Hiram appeared in the San Francisco Chronicle on 25 Sept. 1902:

“Hiram Throop Graves, affectionately termed “Uncle Hiram” by his many friends, and known to all pioneers and Masons of California as a ‘49er and prominent Knight Templar, died of pneumonia at the ranch of Henry B. Ream near Sissons, yesterday morning. He leaves a wife, two sons and two daughters, all the children with the exception of one daughter being married.

He left his home at 1406 High street, Alameda, on Saturday, in the best of health and spirits, intending to spend a few days at the ranch. He took a slight cold on the train, which was augmented during the stage ride that followed, and within twenty-four hours pneumonia had set in. The body will be brought here for interment under Masonic rites.

Text Box: Hiram Throop Graves as 8th Potentate of Islam (Masons) Born in Batavia, NY, nearly seventy-eight years ago, he came West in 1849, reaching San Francisco on October 12^th of that year. In company with a party of acquaintances from the East he went to Auburn and engaged in mining for some time, but the party finally disbanded and he returned East in 1853. Satisfied that the Pacific Coast held out inducements which the Atlantic slope could not offer, he returned in 1856 and established a wire-working business [California Wire Works] on Clay street in this city, which he conducted until 1870. At different times John Eckfeldt and the late A. S. Hallidie were associated with him as partners. He was secretary of the Masonic Savings and Loan Bank for a number of years, and from 1884 to 1887 was Secretary of the Society of California Pioneers. He was one of the founders of the Mount Olivet Cemetery Association and was its Secretary from 1895 until April 15^th of this year. He was also one of the wardens of St. Peter’s Episcopal church at Stockton and Filbert streets, and one of its founders as was his father, Samuel. Previously, the families were parishioners of Grace Cathedral on Nob Hill in San Francisco.

From March 4, 1881, until his death he was recorder of California Commandery No. 1, Knights Templar. In addition, he held the office of Recorder of Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine, of which order he was the oldest member in the State. He had been high priest of California Chapter Royal Arch Masons, No. 5, subsequently its Treasurer, and served as Commander of California Commandery for two terms. He had also been grand commander of the Grand Commandery of California for three years. In addition to his activity in Masonry he was one of the oldest Odd Fellows in the State and took great interest in that order.

When Islam Temple of the Mystic Shrine visited San Jose in the middle of last April, Graves was taken ill in that city, his condition, according to the attending physicians, being due to acute dyspepsia, which nearly caused temporary paralysis of the heart. From this attack he made a rapid and complete recovery and laughed over it as the only sickness within his recollection. He was one of the leading spirits in the Shriners’ pilgrimage to this city in June and was looking forward to the Knights Templar triennial conclave in 1904, when he expected to meet again many of the Sir Knights whom he welcomed here nineteen years ago, at the conclave so well remembered by San Franciscans, and in which he took a prominent part.

Arrangements for the funeral have not been completed, but it undoubtedly will be held from Masonic Temple.” (R‑13)

Augustus was a California ‘49er, a pioneer in the state as were his brother, Hiram Throop Graves, and John and Chauncey Taylor, brothers of Augusta (Taylor) Graves. As did many ‘49ers, the four men brought saleable goods with them, explored the mining areas briefly, and then returned to a city and went into business of some sort, usually on his own. That is the pattern followed by almost all successful California pioneers; rarely did anyone “strike it rich,” or hold on to it if he did. These men were highly successful. John Taylor had the first glass factory on the Pacific Coast, and his brother Chauncey was the first lumber dealer in Oakland, CA. Augustus Graves had a lumber business, and Hiram had many “irons in the fire.” They were among the civic leaders of their day. All Augustus’ children were born in San Francisco. (R‑13, R‑44, R‑500)

Abner Graves (1976) was born 27 Feb. 1834 in Westford, Otsego Co., NY. He married Chloe Alma Dow on 28 May 1868 in Dow City, Crawford Co., IA. They lived in Denver, CO where Abner was a mining engineer. According to a detailed statement written by Abner on 3 April 1905, he attributed the invention of the game of baseball to Abner Doubleday. Although “sports historians have largely discredited Abner Graves account as the ramblings of an old man in his dotage”[107], Abner claimed that in “either the spring prior, or following the ‘log cabin and hard cider’ campaign of General Harrison for President” (Harrison was elected in 1840), Abner Doubleday, then a pupil at Green’s Select School in Cooperstown, NY, invented the game of baseball. In his statement, Abner mentions some of the players in Cooperstown as Abner Doubleday, Elihu Phinney, John C. Graves, Nels C. Brewer, Joseph Chafee, John Starkweather, John Doubleday (a cousin of Abner’s), and Tom Bingham. They played on the Otsego Academy campus and on the “Phinney Farm” on the west shore of Otsego Lake. He also noted that baseball “was played at least three years before April, 1844, when I started for Leyden, Mass., to live that summer with my uncle, Joseph Green; the last prominent thing that I remember before starting being a big game of base ball on the Phinney Farm, half a mile up the west side of Otsego Lake, between the Otsego Academy boys (Doubleday then being in the Academy), and Prof. Green and his Select School boys.” Abner Graves “left Cooperstown and New York early in the winter of 1848-49 for the gold fields of California, and [I] have lived in the West ever since.” (R‑151, R‑500)

Anna M. Peck (2010) was born 3 April 1816 and died 29 Dec. 1877, both in Camillus, Onondaga Co., NY. She married Ira Hinsdale, son of David Hinsdale and Mary W. McCracken, on 28 Dec. 1835 in a ceremony performed by Rev. Harrington in Camillus, NY. Ira was born 21 July 1810, and died 26 June 1849 in Camillus, NY. The Onondaga Standard Newspaper reported on 13 Jan. 1836 that the couple was married on 30 Dec. 1835, but the Hinsdale family bible records the marriage date as 28 Dec. 1835. Ira was a farmer with a six hundred acre homestead six miles from Syracuse, NY. Ira and Anna donated Lot 68 to the Amboy Presbyterian Church Society for one dollar in a transaction received by Anson Hopkins and Jonathan White for the Amboy Meeting House Yard. Howard Snyder’s family history states that all of the lumber to build the church came from the Hinsdale’s woods. Ira’s home and the church were both built in 1845. Ira had one hundred sixty acres of woodland. The 1850 census listed Anna as the head of the household with twenty thousand dollars worth of real estate. In 1855, Anna was listed with Aaron, Ira Junior, and Alfred in the household, but Mary was not included. Anna married second Justus Townsend on 22 Oct. 1867 in Onondaga Co., NY. When Justus died in 1878, he was buried with his first wife, Susan, in Lysander Cem. Anna and Ira were both buried in the Belle Isle Cem. in Amboy, Onondaga Co., NY. (R‑102)

The family bible, as well as a typed cemetery record, states David’s date of death as 1850, although another reference says his death occurred in 1859. His name appears with the family in the 1850 census but not in the 1855 census.

He was a Standard Oil distributor and owned an ice plant and the Hinsdale National Mule Yard. He was a horse and mule seller in Sedalia, MO in 1890 according to nephew Rev. James M. Baker.

3828. Alfred L. Hinsdale, b. 5 Oct. 1845 (Onondaga, NY), m. Jennie Ellis, 23 Jan. 1873 (Onondaga, NY), d. 27 Feb. 1927 (Amboy, NY). Bur. Oakwood Cem. (Syracuse, NY). Alfred owned the land on which the first Syracuse airport was built in 1928, but died of a stroke before it was completed. At the age of 21, he claimed to have bought out his siblings for the family homestead. He was a farmer of sheep, potatoes, tobacco, willows, and cattle. His hobbies were boxing and wrestling. Alfred was also a real estate speculator. The 1870 census show that Alfred lived on the farm with Mrs. Sarah E. Brown, housekeeper, 43 years, Patrick Conway, farm laborer, 25 years, Elizabeth Jacobsen, domestic servant working for Anson Hopkins, 20 years, and Everett Jacobsen, farm laborer, 17 years. The 1880 census showed that living with Alfred was his grandmother, Mary (McCracken) Hinsdale, age 90, and his father in law, Albert Ellis, age 65. Albert died at home in Amboy as did his wife Jennie.

She married Horace Augustus Wells, son of Royal Wells and Betsey Larkin, on 24 Nov. 1870 in Aurora, Kane Co., IL. He was born 26 April 1831 in Pittsfield, Berkshire Co., MA, died 25 March 1890 in Kaneville, and was buried there. Royal Wells was born 6 July 1793 and died 6 Jan. 1867. His wife Betsey was born 9 July 1793 and died 4 Feb. 1879. Harriet and Horace lived in Kaneville, IL, and all their children were born there.

An 1888 article or passage from a book concerning Kane County, IL reads:

“Horace A. Wells, a prominent farmer of Kaneville Twp., is located on a fine tract of 122 acres of land on Section 22. He is a native of Massachusetts, born at Pittsfield, April 26, 1831, a son of Royal and Betty (Larkins) Wells, the former also a native of Pittsfield, the latter a native of Hartford, CT. When our subject was but two years old they moved to New York State, and here Horace A. resided until 1866, and then settled in Kane County, Ill.

November 24, 1870, he married Harriet E. Graves, a native of New York, who came with her parents, Hiram and Lucinda Graves, both natives of Vermont, to Kane County, in 1867. Mr. and Mrs. Horace A. Wells have had a family of eight children: Harlow R., Emma L., Martha M., Lettie H., Blanche I., Nellie M., Elna M., and Pearl K., all living except Harlow R. In politics Mr. Wells votes with the Republican party, and by his voice and vote encourages every enterprise which tends to the benefit and advancement of his community. Mr. Wells has served his township in some local offices.”

Possibly from the same book, Horace is listed as owning “122 ½ acres of land, valued at $60 per acre,” and as having “held the office of Highway Overseer for several terms.” (R‑14, R‑500)

“GRAVES, Nathan Fitch, financier, was born in Oneida county, NY, Feb. 17, 1813, son of Benjamin and Molly (Stark) Graves, and great-grandson of Benjamin Graves, who was one of the defenders of Fort Griswold in New London harbor, and was slain at the massacre by the British. Young Graves was brought up on his father’s farm, and was educated in the public schools and the local academy. At the age of sixteen he began to teach, at the same time studying law. He was admitted to the bar in 1840, and began to practice in partnership with Timothy Jenkins at Oneida Castle. He practiced in New York for about one year, and then settled in Syracuse, forming a partnership with Daniel P. Wood (q.v.), which continued for fifteen years. His financial career began as president of the newly organized Burnet Bank, which was started in Syracuse in 1852, and whose teller was John Knox, afterward comptroller of the currency at Washington. As a state bank it ceased to exist after the passage of the national act, but it was reorganized as the Fourth National Bank and later became the New York State Banking Co. Mr. Graves remained its president during these changes. He was mayor of Syracuse during 1874-76; served as school commissioner, and as president of the board of education. He was also president of the Syracuse Savings Bank, and one of the trustees of the State Idiot Asylum, and a director of the United States Life Insurance Co. He was one of the founders of the Syracuse Civil Service Reform Association in 1882, of which he was also president. He founded a lectureship on missions at the seminary in New Brunswick, NJ. He was married June 1, 1842, to Helen P., daughter of S. Sidney Breese of New Jersey, and after her death in 1844 he was married to her sister, Catherine H. Breese, Nov. [sic] 23, 1845. He died in Syracuse, NY, July 21, 1896.” (R‑13, R‑73)

Roswell Graves (2396) was born 4 March 1837 in Jamestown, Mercer Co., PA, died 9 Nov. 1883 in San Francisco, CA, and was buried in Sebastopol, Sonoma Co., CA. He married Eujane Clapp, daughter of Hiram Clapp and Rhoda Stricker, on 18 Aug. 1857 in Wyocena, Columbia Co., WI. She was born 27 Sept. 1833 in Milton, Canada, died 10 April 1912 in Buckley, King Co., WA, and was buried in Spokane, Spokane Co., WA. She made her home with her son, Roswell, during her last years.

Roswell Graves served as pastor in churches in Wisconsin and Iowa, before moving to California in 1863-64, where he was a circuit-riding preacher among several mining camps in north central California.

The following is an oration made at his funeral by Dr. Warren. "In this city (San Francisco), November 9, 1883, the Reverend Roswell Graves peacefully breathed his last and fell asleep.

During his trying sickness of seven weeks or more, there never rested or flitted the shadow of a doubt in his mind as to his acceptance in the sight of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, his Lord. He looked upon death calmly. He saw beyond it the Father's house of many, many mansions, and was prepared to enter it.

The story of his life is a simple one, but it was a full and busy life. Roswell Graves was the son of Puritan parents. His grandfather, Reverend Benjamin Graves, was for years pastor of Old South Church, Middletown, CT. His father, Roswell Graves, moved from New England and settled near Jamestown, PA. There, March 4, 1837, our brother was born. His father served the church with which he was connected -- the Methodist Protestant -- as local preacher. His training was in a Christian household and early education in the school of Christ. At the age of fifteen, he united with the church. In his 19th year, the family emigrated to Wisconsin.

Recognizing his gifts and his piety, he was called by the authorities of the church to preach, which in answer to a call from within, he obeyed, and took charge of a circuit. He was known as "The Boy Preacher". Revival characterized the very beginning of his ministry. His second circuit was in Columbia County, where his preaching was accompanied by a powerful revival, and hundreds gathered into the church. From Wisconsin, he moved with his wife to Iowa, where again his labors were blessed.

In 1864, he came to California, with such men as the late Rev. M. Harker, Rev. Dr. Bagley, the president of the University of Washington Territory, and others. He assisted in the organization of the first Conference of the Methodist Protestant Church in California, and was chosen its first President. About this time, he wrote and published a pamphlet on church policy, which attracted no little notice in certain quarters. The object of the tractate was to show that Episcopacy, as it related to some of the leading denominations of the day, was not only contrary to the teachings of the New Testament, but opposed in its spirit to the genius of our Republican institutions.

Three years later he joined the Congregationalists from principle and convictions, and to them he remained true and loyal to the last. As a minister of our fellowship, he labored principally in the out-lying and difficult fields. After he left Eden Plain and Antioch, he pushed out to the front in the northern part of the state, where he labored till his work was done. He never hesitated for a moment, to go to the hardest work when it was suggested. He seemed never satisfied unless he could see and gather in a harvest. Revival work was his constant aim. The result of a five years' service in Little Shasta Valley will always stand as a monument of his zeal, courage, faith, and ability. No less so the three years' ministry in Susanville, and Merrillsville in Lassen County. Last June, he took a vacation trip into Modoc Co., and spent his time holding meetings, week after week, while he was gone. His visit to Alturas eventuated in the organization of a Congregational Church, and the building of a neat, commodious house of worship, which is nearly completed.

Seven weeks ago he came to this city for medical treatment, and to go to the General Association, which he had not attended for eleven years. His complaint was more serious than he knew. It had taken such hold of his life and system that the surgeon's skill was baffled, and though all was done that could be by generous friends, death claimed him as its prize.

Much of the time he suffered intensely, but never a word of complaint escaped his lips.

His desire to preach strengthened as he drew near the end, but when hope was gone, he rejoiced in the will of God.

His consciousness was undimmed to the last. To his attendants, his surgeon, and the brethren who watched night after night by his couch, he seemed inexpressibly thankful.

His testimony to the hope and joy of the Gospel, as he walked in the Valley, was frequent and decided. Seeing the manner of his passing away, the prayer could not be kept back: "Let me die the death of the righteous, and let my last end be like his."

The last words he uttered were significant as if in sight of the city with the gate of pearl, and the river between him and it. He said, "Let me pass over," and in an hour he was there. He "passed over" without a struggle, pain, or fear.

His funeral was held in the Third Church on Monday, and the order was just as he had requested. The Scripture he selected was the 5th chapter of 2nd Cor., and was read by Dr. W. C. Pond. Remarks on his life and labors by Dr. Warren and Dr. C. D. Barrows who preached the last sermon he ever heard. Prayer was offered by Dr. Bechwith. The bearers were "devout men" -- Deacons Smith and Chapin, with McLean, Benton, Monar, and Rankin. He rests in Laurel Hill, in full sight of the boundless sea -- symbol of that eternity to which he has gone.

As a preacher, he was thoroughly Biblical, direct, interesting, and impressive. There was that earnestness and simplicity that gave him power over men. Everywhere he had the courage of his convictions and men learned to trust him. He seemed fearless in view of hardship, and never hesitated to take his place where the most difficult work was to be done. He hardly knew what it was to be tired when in revival work he saw the harvest ripe for the sickle.

Controversy was not to his taste; but when duty called, he had keen weapons for the fray. He laid no claim to scholarship, and owned not many books; but this lack was supplied by possession of the Book, and the wonderful ability at all times to bring out of it treasures new and old.

He has gone to his reward. Many will be the stars in the crown of his rejoicing.

To have been with him so much, to have known him so well, is both a benediction and an inspiration, and it cannot be but that his works will follow after him." (R‑3)

Julia Ann Kinne (2481) was born 31 Oct. 1819 in Brutus, Onondaga Co., NY, and died 10 June 1873 of apoplexy in Clarksfield, Huron, Co., OH. She married Ephraim A. Gridley, son of Jared Gridley and Cynthia Tremain, on 10 June 1838. Ephraim was born 24 March 1811 in Rodman, Jefferson Co., NY, and died 6 June 1899 in Clarksfield, OH. He married second Armenta (or Arminta) Kinne (#2488), Julia's sister, in 1884.

When he was about six years old, Ephraim suffered from a fever sore on his leg that, for a while, threatened his life. Though he recovered, that leg thereafter was bowed and somewhat shorter. After the death of his father, and remarriage of his mother, he made his home with an Uncle Silas Gates. In early manhood, he drove a stagecoach in the vicinity of Auburn, NY, for Isaac Sherwood. In 1835, he came to Clarksfield, OH to visit his cousins, Parley and Isiah Post. He remained for a year, and then returned to stage driving in NY, where he became acquainted with Julia Kinne, a waitress at one of the taverns at which he stopped. In 1838, they were married and came to OH to make their future home. Ephraim bought a piece of land in section 1 of Clarksfield and erected a log house in the bend of a creek, on the west side of the road. Later, as he purchased additional land, the family lived in two other log houses before a frame house was built in 1856, which was his home until his second marriage. After that he lived in New London until the death of his second wife from cancer, when he lived with his son Andrew. At the age of eighty eight, he passed away from old age. Their oldest daughter drowned in childhood, while playing near the creek next to their home. They were buried in Barrett’s Chapel Cem. [111] (R‑35)

James Rowland Cook bought land in Indiana in 1852. He and his family journeyed to Kansas in 1857 by ox train. By way of mule team, he ventured to the Pikes Peak region of Colorado in 1860 and mined for gold. Later, he was a trader and merchant. In 1867, Cook fitted out an expedition in which he, Harriet and his family crossed the plains in a 3-months’ journey to reach Santa Cruz via Goose Lake in northern California and possibly southern Oregon. In 1868 he began farming at Salinas, CA. Years later, the lure of the south took the family to San Juan Capistrano in what is now Orange County, an area James helped develop. In 1882 he moved to Long Beach.

CHILDREN OF ABRAM GRAVES (1201) AND ZILPHA ROSE

Cyrus Spencer Graves (2577) was born 12 Dec. 1830, and died 5 Sept. 1863 (or 1862) in Calhoun, Gordon Co., GA serving in Confederate service during the Civil War. He married Jennie Louise McDonald of Stoney Creek, Warren Co., NY on 10 June 1857. She died 7 Oct. 1920 in Cortland, Cortland Co., NY. He moved to Old Greenfield, GA in 1857 with his father, and settled at Thomasville, GA in 1859. After Cyrus’ death, Jennie moved to Cortland, NY with her two children and lived at 43 Groton Ave. Their children were born in Thomasville, Thomas Co., GA.

Cyrus and Jennie typified the lot of many Northerners trapped in the South during the Civil War. In 1861 the state of Georgia began to nationalize all factories, tanneries, and mills. In response to this action, Cyrus wrote the following letter to Gov. Brown:

“Homerville, Clinch Co., GA

6th Jan. 1862

Dear Sir:

Your subscriber is in trouble about the "sequestration act" & begs your consideration of the following statement. I am indebted to parties north in sums amounting to $638 20/100. But have some demands against persons living there and some 6 hundred dollar shares in a Northern Rail Road & a little personal property (an iron safe) which if I could ever get it would balance my indebtedness to them.

Further I am dependent solely upon the lumber business for the means to pay with and also support my family, and at present there is scarce any market for lumber.

Am I not under the circumstances exempt from the "Sequestration Act"--

Most truly & obediently yours,

Cyrus S. Graves

P.S. The demands against people North amount to upwards of 1000.00 due me -- but I must conscientiously add that before our trouble with the North began, that I did not expect much if any of it would ever be paid to me -- CSG

On 26 Nov. 1862, Jennie wrote Gov. Brown from Thomasville:

Dear Sir,

Knowing your sympathies for those in distress and your willingness to assist the needy, I appeal to your Excellency for advise. You may recollect the name of Cyrus S. Graves who applied to you for a situation as a scribe or bookkeeper -- but you had no vacancy for him. He obtained a situation as Recording Secretary for Maj. Dunwoody, but was an invalid & had been for years & only lived fourteen days after reaching Calhoun. This is a sad affliction to me and to my Fatherless child & I beg your wise counsel how to proceed.

My people are all in New York & I want very much to go to my widowed mother's care, now that my husband has been taken away.

My Husband was engaged in the lumber business and SA&GRR [Savannah-Albany & Ga. RR] but the mill has not been in operation for more than a year-- & it is not practicable to try to resume the business until the times shall be better.--

Could I give some person the power of attorney & go home & stay until my property or business here would give me support? Should the property be confiscated when I am a citizen here and of course would take the oath of allegiance & return as soon as the lumber trade revives.

Dear Governor, Give my petition your attention & advise your servant & the Widow's prayers & the orphan's praise shall be yours forever.

Very respectfully yours,

Jennie Louise Graves

Please, Address Box 10, Thomasville, GA.

PS Please advise me as to getting a passport.

Respectfully yours, JLG”

Jennie eventually reached Cortland Co., NY, where she was living in 1870. (R‑9[116], R‑500)

CHILDREN OF ELI GRAVES (1203) AND NAOMI WHEDON

Samuel Allen Graves (2584) was born 30 Nov. 1840 in Thomas Co., GA, and died 1 March 1885 in Quitman, Brooks Co., GA. He married Fannie Ella Purdue, only child of John Thomas Purdue and Eliza Fletcher Smith, on 15 July 1869. She was born 21 Sept. 1849 in Greene Co., GA, died 4 Jan. 1934, and was buried beside Samuel in West End Cem. in Quitman. Fannie moved with her parents to a farm five miles west of Quitman in 1861. Later, her father purchased a 600 acre plantation about one mile from Quitman. She was sent by train from Quitman to Savannah to Macon during the Civil War to be educated by her uncles at Wesleyan. She graduated from Wesleyan Female College in 1867. Samuel served in the Confederate Army during the Civil War. Fannie married second Isaac Mabbett on 20 Dec. 1888.

The following is a record of the “Service of Samuel A. Graves in the Army of the Confederate States of America,” by Oscar M. Smith.

“Detailed information about the service of individual soldiers in the Confederate Army during the Civil War is hard to come by. Most of the records and histories deal with the actions of the larger fighting formations, such as brigades, divisions, corps and armies, and to a lesser extent, to those of individual regiments. It may be said, in general, that during the War, the smallest fighting unit in the Confederate infantry was the company, consisting of about 100 men. A regiment usually contained about 10 or 11 companies and a brigade contained five or six regiments. A division contained two or more brigades; a corps, two or more divisions; and an army, two or more corps. The Army of Northern Virginia commanded by General Robert E. Lee contained three corps in June 1863.

Only two personal letters written by Samuel A. Graves are known to exist. Therefore, the primary source of information about this Civil War service is found in the books and articles published about the Confederate Army units in which he served.

The book entitled History of Brooks County, Georgia, 1858-1948, by Folks Huxford, published by the Hannah Clarke Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution, discloses that Samuel A. Graves enlisted in “The Piscola Volunteers” at Quitman, Georgia on July 23, 1861. “The Piscola Volunteers” was a company size organization. On July 30, 1861, this organization was ordered to Brunswick where it was inducted into Confederate service and attached to the 13^th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry. On October 7, 1861, it was ordered to St. Simons Island where it did coastal duty until May, 1862, when there was a re-organization following the original six months term of enlistment. Thereafter, the 13^th Regiment, and what had been “The Piscola Volunteers” became Company C of the 26^th Georgia Regiment. Samuel A. Graves re-enlisted on May 1, 1862.

A book entitled South Georgia Rebels was published by author Alton J. Murray in 1976. It is a history of the 26^th Georgia Infantry Regiment during the Civil War. This work shows that Company C of the 26^th Georgia was originally the Piscola Volunteers organized at Quitman, Georgia on July 23, 1861. At this time Samuel A. Graves was 20 years of age. The book lists him as one of 133 men who served in Company C at some time during the war. The 26^th Regiment became a part of the brigade commanded by Alexander R. Lawton of South Carolina who was a graduate of West Point and Harvard Law School. This brigade consisted of six Georgia Regiments (about 6,000 men) and was known as Lawton’s Brigade.

Lawton’s Brigade left the Savannah area in late May 1862 for Virginia where the Brigade, including the 26^th Georgia Regiment, served as a part of the Army of Northern Virginia until General Robert E. Lee surrendered it and the rest of the army at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865.

Lawton’s Brigade was at one time the largest brigade (total of 3,500 men) in the entire Army of Northern Virginia.[117] The Brigade was involved in very heavy fighting at Sharpsburg, Maryland (Antietam) in September, 1862. In that battle, General Lawton was wounded and never returned to the Brigade. Temporary command of the Brigade went first to Colonel E. N. Atkinson who was wounded and captured at the Battle of Fredricksburg and then to Colonel Clement A. Evans.[118] Temporary command of the Lawton Brigade went to Brigadier General John B. Gordon in the spring, 1863. Shortly afterward, the officers of the Brigade unanimously petitioned that Gordon be made permanent commander of the Lawton Brigade and General Lee honored the request.[119] It then became known as Gordon’s Brigade.

In May, 1864, General Gordon became commander of Early’s Division and command of the Gordon Brigade passed to Colonel Clement A. Evans.[120]

During its service in Virginia, the 26^th Georgia Regiment was engaged in many of the war’s most famous battles. These included the following battles which occurred during the period Samuel A. Graves served in Company C.[121]

Gaines Mill (near Richmond) June 27, 1862

Malvern Hill (near Richmond) June 30, 1862

Cedar Mountain August 7, 1862

Second Manassas August 28-31, 1862

Sharpsburg (also called Antietam) September 17, 1862

Fredericksburg December 13, 1862[122]

Chancellorsville May 5, 1863[123]

Gettysburg July 1-4, 1863[124]

Wilderness May 5-6, 1864

Spotsylvania Court House May 10-20, 1864

Cold Harbor June 1-3, 1864[125]

Monocacy June 9, 1864[126]

Winchester September 19, 1864

Fisher’s Hill September 22, 1864[127]

Samuel A. Graves was captured following the Battle of Fisher’s Hill in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia along with the Regimental Commander of the 26^th, Colonel Edmund N. Atkinson, and about 1,000 others as a result of an attack by General Sheridan’s forces. At the time the 26^th Georgia formed a art of the forces fighting in the Shenandoah Valley under the command of General Sarly.

Microfilm at the Georgia Department of Archives and History, Atlanta, Georgia, of “Compiled Service Records of Confederate Soldiers from Georgia” apparently contains all available records of Samuel A. Graves’ service in the Confederate army. These records show him as being a member of Company C, 26^th Georgia Regiment. A report, dated November 5, 1864, shows him as “missing since 22 September 1864.” A later record shows him as listed on a “roll of prisoners of war at Harper’s Ferry, West Va., captured by General Sheridan’s Forces and sent to Point Lookout, Md. September 30, 1864.” This record also shows him as having been captured at Strausburg on September 23, 1864. These records show that Samuel A. Graves was released at Point Lookout, Md. on June 27, 1865.

In the battles of Gaines Mill, Malvern Hill, Cedar Mountain, Second Manassas, Sharpsburg, Fredricksburg and Chancellorsville, the 6^th Georgia served as a part of General Stonewall Jackson’s Second Corps. Jackson was mortally wounded at Chancellorsville. Afterward General Richard S. Ewell commanded the Second Corps.

The 26^th Georgia fought in numerous other battles after Fisher’s Hill, including Cedar Creek and Petersburg, and was surrendered by General Lee with the rest of the army at Appomattox Court House on April 9, 1865. However, Samuel A. Graves was at that time imprisoned in the notorious Camp for Confederate Prisoners at Point Lookout Maryland. Many of the prisoners died and Samuel A. Graves was lucky to have survived. No photograph or portrait of Samuel A. Graves is known to exist.

The tattered battle flag of the 26^th Georgia Regiment which was surrendered at Appomattox is today on display in one of the corridors of the State Capitol, Atlanta.”

The following two letters from Samuel to his sister Mary are in the possession of Susan Smith Golden. She also has his Oath of Allegiance to the United States.

“Dear Sister

I leave you to go to the field of Battle and may never return I go to defend you and other much loved Friends I go my Country’s Call and I trust obey but I leave you with kind friends to enjoy the comforts of a Peaceful home. Should I fall on the field of Battle I go in glorious cause trusting that if we are not permitted to meet again on Earth that we may meet in Heaven.

Quitman July 29 1861 S A Graves

Point Lookout Feb 22 1865”

“Dearest Sister

I am Just in receit of your note of the 22^nd of Jan. and was truly glad to hear from you once more and know that you were all well and thanks to a kind providence My health continues go yes much better than I could expect and I am getting along very well for a prisoner I received five Dollars from Uncle James not long ago in a letter At that time they were all well and Libbie writes me that all are well in Fla do not let my being here trouble you as God can care for us as easy as ever Love to all I am as ever your Brother S A Graves” (R‑50[128], R‑500)

Charles Whedon Graves (2594) was born 8 March 1848 (or 1847) near Moultrie, Colquitt Co., GA, and died 22 Aug. 1919. He married Margaret E. ("Maggie") Roberts, daughter of John Walker Roberts and Judith Bathia Blacksheare, on 15 (or 16) Dec. 1874. She died 29 April 1887 (or 30 Oct. 1884, three days after the birth of their third daughter). He married second Lola Ford.

Charles obtained a deferment during the Civil War to work at his father's confiscated factory. Upon his family's flight from Georgia, he lived first in New York and second in Illinois. The Graves family eventually settled at Hillsdale, Worth Co., GA.

He worked for his father as a clerk and bookkeeper. After Joel's death he turned to farming. On 18 Jan. 1893 he was elected to the post of tax receiver for Worth Co. and served for six years. Upon the formation of Tift Co. from Worth Co., he was elected Judge of the Ordinary in 1908, serving until his death.

Admiration is not always shared by all, and Charles was no exception. His second wife, Lola Ford, came from a prominent Southern family which strongly disapproved of him. There are two probable reasons. First, he was the son of an unrepentant Yankee. As his daughter Maymie was fond of saying, "There is a Green Mountain boy in our family." This was a bold statement to make in Georgia up until recent years. The second factor was the elopement of Lola and Charles.

While Charles came from a long line of Congregationalists, he became a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. He served for many years as Sunday School Superintendent.

The following obituary and editorial are from the Tifton Gazette, 23 Aug. 1919, pages 1 and 2.

"Ordinary Graves Gone To His Reward

Death of Christian Gentleman Closes Long Life

Of Usefulness to His Country and Fellowman

TyTy, Aug. 23. Though daily expected for several weeks and though his many friends in this vicinity realized that to him it was a blessed relief and a happy release, the death of Judge C. W. Graves brought sadness to the town he called home for many years. He died Friday, August 22, and was buried on the following day.

Charles W. Graves was born near Moultrie (Thomas Co. then, now Colquitt Co.) on the 8 of March 1848. He was the son of Joel S. Graves of Vermont, later of New York, who came as a young man to Georgia in the days when Indians were plentiful here.

Judge Graves was one of nine children, five brothers and four sisters, only two of whom, Mr. Spenser Graves of Poulan and Mr. H. C. Graves of Colquitt, are now living.

His first wife was Miss Maggie Roberts whom he married in Smithville when he was a young man. She died in Hillsdale many years ago and was buried there.

They had three children who are now Mrs. W. C. Hays of Macon, Mrs. Rosa Harris of Waycross, and Mrs. C. O. Hays of Macon. His second wife was Miss Lola Ford of TyTy who survives him. Judge Graves was ordinary of Tift County at the time of his death and he held that office except for the first term every year since Tift became a county. When he was first elected, he moved to Tifton, but after a residence of several years there family matters recalled him to TyTy. Since his return here he has gone to Tifton every morning on an early train that left TyTy certain seasons when day light had not fairly come and he returned home on a very uncertain train in the evening sometimes reaching home hours behind time. Some of his friends think this constant and irregular traveling hastened his death but this seems improbable. He was always a frail looking man but his vitality was something wonderful. Occasionally he had an attack of illness but in a little while he rallied and went back to work. He suffered considerably from indigestion and was troubled with catarrh of the head for several years.

About nine weeks ago Judge Graves took to his bed and he never left his room after that; most of the time he was conscious, occasionally delirious and gradually wasted away until death came. Through all his illness his devoted wife was his constant attendant. Her health has never been very good but for him her strength seemed superhuman.

Judge Graves was a devoted consistent member of the Methodist Church for many years, Sunday School Superintendent -- a Christian for whom nobody had anything but praise. He was a good citizen, a devoted husband and father and a loyal friend. He came to this section when most of Tift Co. was an unbroken forest. His father's mill at Hillsdale was one of the first if not the first ever operated in this locality, and he has lived here all of his life. Every good movement -- and this part of the country was sadly in need of good movements in those days -- had his hearty endorsement and financial help, and it is sad to realize that those who knew him shall know him no more.

The funeral was held at 4:30, conducted by Rev. W. H. Bud, assisted by Rev. C. W. Durden.

The pallbearers at his request were J. M. Shaw, W. B. Parks, Dr. W. T. Smith, Henry D. Webb, E. L. Webb, T. S. Rigdon."

The following is an excerpt from an editorial on Charles Whedon Graves:

"Uncle Charley was clerk and book-keeper for his father at the latter's pioneer saw mill at Hillsdale...Uncle Charley remained closer to the home base. After the mills at Hillsdale closed he went to TyTy where he was in business for many years. For two terms he served Worth County as tax receiver and in many other ways he served his people. At the second election in the new county of Tift he was chosen Ordinary and this office he filled until his death, never having opposition after the first election. Always he was in this office as the friend of the widow and the guardian of the orphan; his big heart and generous mind peculiarly fitting him for its rather exacting duties. He was truly a father to the people of his county. Recently as months passed with sinking heart we saw his gradual decline; noted his efforts to remain at his post despite failing strength; at last we saw that he sat in the familiar chair no more, and well knew that in the flesh he would never return...."

Text Box: John Card Graves

Dr. George Graves (2818) was born 20 May 1848, died 24 Jan. 1925, both in Herkimer, Herkimer Co., NY, and was buried 27 Jan. 1925 in the Oak Hill Cem. in Herkimer, with Masonic honors. He married Harriet Wetherwax (or Weatherwax), daughter of Hon. James H. Wetherwax and Adelia Feeter of Manheim, NY, on 8 Dec. 1874. She was born 24 Nov. 1854, died 29 March 1889 in Herkimer, NY, and was also buried in Oak Hill. He married second Margaret Hering, daughter of Conrad Hering and Anna Maria Wilhelm, on 19 June 1907. She was born 17 June 1880 in Jersey City, Hudson Co., NJ, and died 22 Oct. 1962. George received his education at the Fairfield Academy and Clinton Institute, from which he graduated in 1867. He graduated as a physician and surgeon from the Medical Department of the University of Buffalo in 1870. After graduation, he practiced his profession in Herkimer, where he had always resided. The History of Herkimer County contradicts this, however, by stating on page 49 that George first practiced medicine in Ilion, NY before returning to Herkimer two years later. At various times, Dr. Graves had been the treasurer of the Herkimer County Medical Society, assistant surgeon in the National Guard for the state of NY, U.S. examining surgeon, and surgeon for the Adirondack & St. Lawrence Railway Co. Dr. Graves was also associated with several fraternal and benevolent institutions such as the Masons, A. O. U. W., and the fire department. He was a charter member of the first emergency hospital and a member of the Herkimer Memorial Hospital. He met President Lincoln with his father. (R‑89, R‑121, R‑152, R‑158, R‑500)

CHILDREN OF SOLOMON GRAVES (1342) AND MARGARET SMITH

Edward Oziel Graves (2823) was born 3 Aug. 1843 in Russia, Herkimer Co., NY, and died 9 Feb. 1909 in Seattle, King Co., WA. He married Cecilia A. Schell on 13 April 1864 in Geneva, Ontario Co., NY. She died 4 Feb. 1867. He married second Clara Augusta Gale, daughter of Leonard D. Gale and Ann Eliza ‑‑‑‑‑‑ of Washington, DC, on 1 Dec. 1868. She died 8 Jan. 1912 in Washington, DC.

He graduated from Hobart College, Geneva, NY and soon after was called by the Hon. F. E. Spinner, U.S. Treasurer, to fill a confidential position under him in the Treasury Department in Washington. In 1868 he was made chief clerk in the office of the U.S. Treasurer. In 1874 he organized the National Bank Redemption Agency and became its superintendent. In 1881 he was made assistant treasurer of the U.S., and, in 1885, superintendent of the important Bureau of Engraving and Printing. He resigned the position in 1889 and moved to Seattle and organized, as president, The Washington National Bank of Seattle.

To quote the words of the eminent reformer, Silas W. Burt, "But however honorable was his career as a public officer and private banker, it was transcended by his work of reform in the United States Service. He was a member and frequently the chairman of important boards engaged in the reformation of business methods and the establishment of great economies in the Treasury Department. In 1872 he was a member of the Examining Board under the Civil Service rules promulgated by President Grant. In 1873 he was Chief Examiner for the whole service until the suspension of the rules by the President in March 1875. After the passage of the Civil Service Law in Jan. 1883, he was proffered the position of Chief Examiner, but declined for good reasons. He was a member of the National Civil Service Reform League from its organization in Aug. 1881 to his death. His attractive personality, pure character, and high aims brought him a multitude of close friends who mourned his death."

His remains were brought east and interred in the family lot at Gravesville in the town of Russia, NY. His last three children were born in Washington, DC. (R‑500)

She was born 18 June 1839 in Adams Co., IL, died 4 April 1927 in Barnsdall, Osage Co., OK, and was buried 6 April 1927 in Javine Cem., Barnsdall. Her first husband, ‑‑‑‑‑‑ McKinney supposedly died in the Civil War, and they had one child who died in infancy. In 1915, Sarah filed suit for divorce in Miami, OK. She states in her petition that she and the defendant were married in Macon Co., MO in 1871. In 1907, in Miami, she said Franklin abandoned her. She stated that there were six children born to this union and all had reached maturity. Only five children are listed here; she may have inadvertently included the child of her first marriage who died in infancy. In her petition, she states that Franklin Graves was living in St. James, MO and was planning to leave there for the National Soldiers’ Home in Kansas. On 30 Oct. 1915, she was granted a divorce.

On 8 Aug. 1862 at Salisbury, CT, Franklin enlisted in the Union Army, stating that he was born in Gaylordsville, CT, and was a clerk by occupation. He agreed to serve for three years or for the duration of the war. On 12 Aug. 1862, his father, J .J. Graves, signed a document stating that he was the father of Franklin S. Graves and gave his consent to the enlistment. J. J. Graves’ signature on this declaration was witnessed by Minnie Graves, who is probably Franklin’s sister, Mary Amelia, nicknamed Minnie.

Franklin was mustered on 11 Sept. 1862 and was assigned as a private to Co. B, 2 Reg. Conn., Heavy Art’y. On 25 Jan. 1863, he was promoted to corporal; on 19 June 1863, reduced to private; and on 13 Feb. 1864, again promoted to corporal.

In Oct. 1864, he was reported missing in action at the Battle of Cedar Creek, VA, and presumed to be a prisoner of war. On the company muster roll of March and April 1865, he was reported sick in General Hospital at Annapolis, MD and listed as a paroled prisoner of war.

On 17 March, he was given a thirty day furlough to go to Gaylord Bridge, Litchfield Co., CT. Beginning 15 April, Dr. William H. Graves (Franklin’s brother), started writing letters to “Headquarters East, New York City,” stating that Franklin’s physical condition was such that he could not make the trip back to his unit. Some of his letters were accompanied by a statement from the justice of the peace, attesting to the good standing of the doctor in the community and the truth of his statements. Some had notations that they were submitted in triplicate. One of his letters included the following:

“Corporal Graves was for several months a prisoner of war at Salisbury, North Carolina, and came home in a much reduced condition, suffering from chronic diarrhea. He has since had a severe typhoid fever from which he is now slowly recovering, but as stated in the enclosed certificate, is unable to travel so as to report in person at any military authority.”

The answers to Dr. Graves’ letters always insisted that Franklin must report at once. The good doctor’s patience was growing thin. In each letter he became more adamant. In the late summer Franklin traveled to Washington, D. C., and was mustered out 18 Aug. 1865. He was described as having a light complexion, brown hair, hazel eyes (although one report stated he had black eyes), and was 5’6” tall. Frank was a farmer. All their children were born in MO, probably Macon Co. (R‑7)

Gamaliel Hunt St. John Graves (2887) was born 14 Jan. 1847 in Gaylordsville, Litchfield Co., CT, died 13 March 1912 in La Plata, Macon Co., MO, and was buried in La Plata. He married Cleopatra Sherwood, daughter of Lewis Band Sherwood and Laura Clark of Gaylordsville, CT, on 21 Dec. 1870 in New Milford, CT. She was born 17 Dec. 1851 in Connecticut, and died about 1900 in Chicago(?), IL. They were divorced 19 Feb. 1887. Gamaliel married second Mary Sherman Moncrief, daughter of Wilson Moncrief and Matilda Young, on 23 Feb. 1890 in Macon Co., MO. She was born 2 April 1865 in La Plata, MO, died 6 Sept. 1904 in Warrenton, Warren Co., MO, and was buried in La Plata. Gamaliel and Mary were in a train wreck on 6 Sept. 1904 on the Wabash Railroad in which she was killed and he was injured. They were traveling to the St. Louis World’s Fair. The following is from an account in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, 7 Sept. 1904:

“…The train wrecked was the eastbound fast train, running, passengers say, at a rate of 65 miles an hour, as told in the late editions of Tuesday’s Post-Dispatch. A special coach containing citizens of La Plata, Macon and Kirksville, MO., and the dining car, the last two coaches to the train, were derailed, rolling down an embankment 6 feet. Both cars were totally demolished, hardly a one of the occupants escaping injury, and ten [incorrect total, final count was 7] were dead before other passengers could reach them.

The wreck, it is stated by passengers, was caused by a defective place in the track. They say a section gang was at work spiking down a new rail, which had not been fastened securely. The engine and six cars passed over the new rail, but the seventh coach, the La Plata special, left the track, followed by the dining car. The latter crashed down the embankment after the passenger coach, alighting upon the wreckage and probably killing several who would otherwise have been only numbered among the injured.

The train was stopped immediately and the crew and passengers immediately began assisting in the work of rescue, although they could do little after the arrival of assistance with tools. Every available physician and surgeon for two miles on each side of Warrenton was summoned to the scene. The accident occurred not far from the Warrenton station, into which the first of the dead and injured were carried, but this proved entirely too small to accommodate the crowd, and the courthouse and private residences were converted into temporary hospitals. The dead were sent to their homes.

Late in the afternoon trains started for St. Louis, bringing many of the injured to this city. The first arrived shortly after 8 o’clock last night, and trains throughout the night continued to add to the number in the St. Louis hospitals. Many of the injured were found to be too seriously hurt to be moved.

A Methodist, he was also a member of Whitmore, Nichols and Graves, of Holyoke, MA and New York City, manufacturers and marketers of Russia leather and fine stationary. The cemetery records of Macon Co., MO, Vol. 7 give the following information of his early life:

“G. H. Graves grew to manhood on his father’s farm in Connecticut and obtained his education in the public schools of his native township, finishing with a course of special commercial training at a first-rate business college in Bridgeport, Connecticut. In 1887 Mr. Graves took up his residence in Macon county, Missouri, and became an extensive purchaser of land and a farmer and stockman on a large scale.” (R‑7, R‑500)

The following is from an article that appeared in the Richmond Daily Independent on Thursday, 11 Dec. 1913:

“Two Men Die in Big Refinery Fire”

“Heroic attempt to rescue fatal for the rescuer”

“W. Graves, a foreman in the cooperage department of the Union Oil Company’s refinery at Oleum could have escaped with his life with other employees from the large two story asphalt packing and barrel house, which was destroyed by fire Tuesday afternoon and evening with a loss approximating $100,000. Instead he gave his life, in trying to rescue Charles H. Hallawell, his cousin, who was employed as a carpenter in the cooperage department and who also perished in the disastrous conflagration.”

The above opening paragraph of this long newspaper article provides a rough outline of the manner in which Warren Graves, and his cousin, Charles Hallawell died. The workplace was a two story wooden structure, about 100 x 400 feet. A few feet beneath the lower floor was a pool of water, from recent rains, on which was floating years of accumulated petroleum spills. An explosion in a nearby asphalt melting and pumping station directed the flame and hot tar to the roof and side of the wooden building, and the pool of oil beneath ignited in short order. An alert witness sounded the alarm. All but three of the fifty or so employees got out of the burning building. Three volunteers returned to the flaming building. Two men were found unconscious near the exit and were pulled to safety. The third missing man, Hallawell, worked on the upper floor. The third volunteer, Warren Graves, ran up the stairs to find his kinsman. (R‑39)

The following is the Last Will and Testament of Laura A. Graves:

I, LAURA A. GRAVES, of lawf…[covered over] resident of Ferndale Farm, near Hayward, California, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, and not acting under fraud, duress, menace or undue influence of any person whomsoever, do hereby make, publish and declare this to be my Last Will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by me made.

I have one adopted daughter, to-wit, __________, also one grandchild, to-wit, LEONTINE L. LINEER; I leave TWENTY-FIVE ($25.00) DOLLARS to my said adopted daughter.

II.

I give, devise and bequeath all my property, of every kind and nature, and wheresoever situate, to my daughter-in-law, ETHEL L. GRAVES, and to her daughter (my said granddaughter) LEONTINE L. LINEER, share and share alike; I remember my said daughter-in-law in this my will partly for the reason that she has given me love and affection. (There had been question of whether the “adopted daughter” refers to Bessie, although there is no record of her being adopted. There is also a second document which states that this refers to one Mildred Raine (Bessie), and that she predeceased her mother, and therefore could not have collected what her mother, Laura, intended to leave her.)

Lorenzo Corydon Graves (3031) was born 21 Aug. 1835 in Strykersville, Wyoming Co., NY, died 23 June 1918[136] in Huntington Park, Los Angeles, Los Angeles Co., CA, and was buried 25 June 1918 Inglewood Park Cem., Inglewood, Los Angeles Co., CA. He married Louisa C. Hooker (supposedly a cousin of Gen. Joe Hooker[137]) on 4 Jan. 1859 in French Creek, Chautauqua Co., NY in a ceremony performed by Rev. Losee. She was born in New York, possibly French Creek, died 6 Jan. 1869 in Corry, Erie Co., PA and was buried there in the Pine Grove Cem.

He married second Katherine (or Catherine) (“Kate”) Arthur Gill, daughter of Richard Gill and Mary Glanville, on 2 March 1872 in Jackson Co., MO. She was born in May 1846 in Weston, Jo Daviess Co., IL, and died of breast cancer 19 Sept. 1892 in Oakland, Alameda Co., CA, at the home of her sister, Mrs. C. W. Adams. Kate may have been previously married to William B. Harris. Her obituary states that she had six children, but only five can be accounted for. She was buried in Mt. View Cem., Oakland, CA. She had been ill with cancer and had traveled east with Lorenzo to find relief. They were on their way home with a stop in Oakland to see her sister. She was a talented poet and artist. Kate and Lorenzo lived in Spokane, WA. The family was listed in the 1880 Washington territorial census in Spokane, WA (Dist. 1, p. 18). Both Kate’s parents were born in England. They moved to Douglas Co., KS after the Civil War. The 1860, 1870[138], and 1880 censuses gives Lorenzo’s occupation as blacksmith, but the birth certificate of his son Walter states he was a lawyer, and Walter’s son Robert always thought he was a horse trader. The census gives the place of birth of the first child as NY, the second as PA, the next as KS, the next two as MI, and the sixth as W.T. (Washington Territory).

Lorenzo married third Nellie Lake in 1904. According to the 1910 US census, Nellie was 55 years of age and had been married to Lorenzo for five years. The census also stated that this was his third marriage and her first. Living with them in Los Angeles, CA was a niece by the name of Margret Echons who was 23 years old.

Lorenzo lived with his family in Lowell, MI where he practiced law in the office of Judge Whitelsey. The family was suffering from malaria, so he decided to go west where he could take up land for his boys and make a fresh start. They took the train to San Francisco, then a boat to Portland, OR, a sidewheeler named the “City of Chester”. Diphtheria broke out on board and the vessel had to hoist the yellow flag, indicating pestilence on board. Many young children died, but the Graves children survived.

They then went by rail to the end of the railroad which was Wallula, and from there to Colfax to spend the winter and prepare for the trip in the spring to Spokane in a covered wagon. Melvin and Glenville were not born yet. They met old Chief Garry with his band of Indians all in paint and feathers. He halted right in front of them, dismounted from his pony, and came near Lola who had red curly hair. He asked Lorenzo if he could touch her hair, which he did saying in a sing-song Indian accent, “Oh, Oh”. Lola was not afraid, as he had such a kind face. She said later, “I must be sort of an Indian as I have always loved them.”

Lorenzo took up a piece of land toward Reardon. He was never a farmer, so gave up and moved to Medical Lake where he raised blooded horses. He then moved the family to Spokane. They belonged to the First Baptist Church, where Lola was organist for 8 years. Lorenzo was also a judge. (R‑23, R‑142, R‑500)

My grandmother was Josephine Hammond Brown, an identical twin of Isabel Hebbard Brown, who later married Howard Fries in Tacoma, WA, and stayed in the West when her family returned to the East.

Ephraim Harvey Graves (3180) was born 25 April 1829 in Cortland Co., NY (probably in Truxton), and died 29 Nov. 1914 in Green Bay, Brown Co., WI in the Odd Fellows Home where he had lived for about nine months. His obituary (Nov. 30, 1914) states that he had fractured his hip in a fall four years earlier and had never fully recovered. He was buried in Riverside Cem. (lot 54, block E), Appleton, Outagamie Co., WI. Harvey married Maria Avis Pulford, daughter of Samuel Pulford and Avis Maxson, on 12 May 1849 in Hartford, Washington Co., WI. She was born 9 June 1833 in Lincklaen, Chenango Co., NY, died 24 Feb. 1858 in La Harpe, Hancock Co., IL, and was buried in La Harpe, IL, with her infant daughter. Ephraim married second Elizabeth (“Libby”) Campbell, daughter of John Campbell and Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 26 Dec. 1858 in the La Harpe Congregational Church. She was born 9 April 1830 in Ohio, died 16 April 1891 in Appleton, WI of a cerebral hemorrhage, and was buried in Riverside Cem. Harvey married third Mary E. Burk on 17 Oct. 1891 in Portage Co., WI . She was born in 1853 in Plover, Portage Co., WI.

According to his obituary, Harvey and Maria Graves arrived in Appleton in Nov. 1852. He was listed in the 1855 state census of Appleton. He apparently moved to La Harpe, IL in 1856. Harvey’s son, Sylvester, tells of moving with his family to La Harpe:

“From Burlington, Iowa, we hired a team to take us down the river 18 or 20 miles…to a little town called Pontousek. There we found my uncle’s family all down with fever and ague, and without money. This uncle was my father’s own brother, and my aunt, his wife, was my mother’s own sister [Nathan and Caroline Graves]. As soon as he could do so he…took us to La Harpe [both families].”[143]

There is a strong family tradition that Harvey Graves, while living in Illinois, was a friend of Abraham Lincoln’s, and that he drove both Lincoln and Stephen A. Douglas from place to place for their debates. Research at the La Harpe Historical and Genealogical Society failed to turn up the mention of Harvey Graves, although there was a long article about Lincoln in one of the county histories. Lincoln spoke at La Harpe in 1858, and was driven there from Dallas City by a man named Daniel Bainter.

In the 1870 federal census, Harvey Graves, age forty one, was living in the 2^nd ward, Appleton, with his wife Elizabeth, and his mother Esther. His occupation was given as carpenter. The 1874 Appleton City Directory and his obituary list him as a veterinary surgeon. The Appleton paper for 23 Jan. 1901 reported that “Dr. E.H. Graves, 656 Morrison St., regarded as one of the oldest active veterinary practitioners in the state is confined to . . . St. Elizabeth’s Hospital” as a result of a fall. (R‑6)

“Major Samuel Edson Graves died Saturday evening, March 7, 1925 aged 86 years at his home 235 South Main Street, after an illness continuing since last October 6^th.

He was born Oct. 23, 1838, and, except for a few years in Chicago, he was a resident of Adrian all his life. He entered the Civil War as a lieutenant of the 12^th Michigan Infantry, spent five years in the service and returned at the close of the war with the rank of Major.

On Feb. 20, 1865, he was united in marriage with Helen M. Bennett, oldest daughter of the late Joseph R. Bennett and for many years was the managing partner of the drug firm of J. R. Bennett & Company. Twenty-five years ago he accepted a position of cashier and financial secretary of the Michael Cudahy interests in Alaska and the far northwest. This position he filled until 1913, when at the age of seventy-five he returned to Adrian to pass his remaining years in quiet among familiar surroundings and with his old friends.

Major Graves was for a number of years a member of the local school board and had also held the office of city treasurer. He was active in the organization of Woodbury Post G.A.R. and was instrumental in obtaining permanent markers for the graves of the heroes of the Civil War. He was a promoter of the Adrian Grand Lakes Club, and the last to retain an interest in the properties of the club.

While yet a young man he united with the First Baptist Church and remained an earnest and faithful member to the last. He was for many years a trustee of the church and also its treasurer.

Major Graves is survived by his son Walter J. Graves and three grand children, Helen, Joseph, and Elizabeth Graves of Detroit, and his sister-in-law, Miss Dora E. Bennett.

Funeral services will be conducted from Dorcas Chapel of the First Baptist Church, Tuesday afternoon at 2:30 o’clock and the burial will be in the family lot in Oakwood Cemetery.” (R‑63, R‑500)

Lucretia D. Graves (3451) was born 16 Aug. 1835 in Sheldon, Franklin Co., VT, and died 18 May 1891. She married William DeForrest Wilson, son of William Campbell Wilson and Clarissa A. ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 28 May 1855. He was born 5 Oct. 1836 in Bakersfield, Franklin Co., VT, and died in 1904. William’s father, William C. Wilson, was a judge on Vermont’s Supreme Court.

The book Biography of the Bar of Orleans County, Vermont by Frederick W. Baldwin, published in 1866, contains the following biographical sketch of William DeForrest Wilson:

“William DeForrest Wilson, only son of the late Hon. W. C. and Clarissa A. Wilson, was born at Bakersfield, VT, October 5, 1836.

He received his education at the Bakersfield Academy and University of Vermont; read law with his father, whose reputation as a legal preceptor was unsurpassed, and with his natural aptitude for the profession and the thorough drill received from Judge Wilson, came to the bar well equipped, and was admitted in Franklin County at the June term, 1857. Admission to the supreme court and the United States district and circuit courts followed in order.

He was married in 1855 to Lucretia D. Graves, and by this union three children have been born to them, two of whom, William DeForrest, Jr., and Marion L., are now living to make his pleasant home, where generous hospitality is dispensed, pleasanter, and to add to the domestic happiness which is one of the chief delights of his life.

Soon after his admission to the bar he opened an office at South Troy, VT, and by his industry and ability established a remunerative practice, remaining there until February 1867.

In 1860 he was Deputy United States Marshal, and assisted in taking the census of that year. In 1867 he removed to St. Albans, where he formed a law partnership with Col. R. C. Benton, which continued until November, 1869, when it was dissolved by reason of Mr. Wilson’s intentions of going West, but which were finally reconsidered, and he remained in practice alone until January 1, 1874, when he formed a partnership with Alfred A. Hall, which has since continued under the name of Wilson & Hall.

His practice has been large for a country town, having been engaged in many of the most important cases in that county during the last decade, and the business of the firm extending into adjoining counties, in which he has had marked success.

Untrammeled by political ambition or other business interests, he has faithfully and studiously devoted himself to his profession.

Of pleasing address, he excels as a jury advocate. He is aggressive, industrious, sanguine and fearless, and may well congratulate himself upon having chosen a profession for which he was so well adapted by nature, and in which he has labored singly for success, winning himself the best possible encomium, ‘a good lawyer.’”

There is a discrepancy in the above where it states that one of Lucretia and William’s children was Marion L. Wilson. The family Bible shows that Marion Louisa was the daughter of William C. Wilson. The author probably meant Minnie Lucretia Wilson. (R‑137)

His death was deeply mourned by the whole community, where he was held in high esteem as a physician, citizen, comrade of the G.A.R., and Free Mason. (R‑58, R‑500)

CHILDREN OF EMILY GRAVES (1824) AND NATHAN BROWN

Kate Ellen Brown (3529) married Rev. Thomas Thompson in 1877. Kate died 10 Sept. 1945, and Thomas died 16 Jan. 1907, both in Lexington, Middlesex Co., MA. They were both buried in the Munroe Cem., Lexington, MA. Kate started teaching school at the age of fourteen. She wrote that she had students aged three to twenty-three. She had a number of boys who worked on their families’ farms in the summer, and went to school in the winter. Kate never had any trouble with the boys and they showed her the greatest respect. She taught school in the summer and winter, and went to a private school in the spring and fall. Thomas and Kate moved to Lexington, MA in 1887 and built a house there in 1888. Between 1877 when they were married and 1887, they had lived in Rochester, Chester, and Windsor, VT and Andover, NH. Thomas wanted to move to Lexington, MA because of its proximity to Boston. He wanted to raise his children near an educational and cultural center. In Lexington, his church was called the Follen Community Church. It was named for Dr. Charles Follen through whose inspiration and leadership the church was formed. This church was also called the “Emerson” church as Ralph Waldo Emerson had preached to the congregation for two years before the church was built. Emerson was followed by Dr. Follen, who designed the church which was built in 1839. In 1890, Thomas was called to preach at the Unitarian Church in Norwell, MA, where the family then lived for ten years. When Thomas became ill with Parkinson’s disease, the family moved back to their Lexington, MA home.[152] (R‑58)

She married Stephen Struble, son of Joseph Struble and Ann Elizabeth Stout, on 17 March 1853 in Bartholomew Co., IN. They were married by George W. Grason, Justice of the Peace. Stephen was born 14 Aug. 1828 in Colerain Twp., Hamilton Co., OH, and died 23 July 1895 in Plainview, Wabasha Co., MN. His occupation at the time of his death was listed as farmer. According to the 1860 census, Stephen owned $7,000 worth of real estate. In 1867, he moved his family to Plainview, MN. Emily moved to Genesee, ID in 1905 to be near her daughter, Xenia. Emily and Stephen were buried in Greenwood Cem. in Plainview, MN, her burial service being held from the Congregational Church in Plainview.

From the Latah County Genealogical Society, Moscow, ID:

“Mrs. Emily J. Struble passed away Thursday afternoon, June 8, at 4 o’clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. P. Michaelson near Genesee. Death was due to cancer of the liver from which she had been a sufferer for the past several months.

Mrs. Emily Joanna Struble was born in Delaware Co., New York state, Dec. 21 1836, being 79 years, five months and 17 days old at the time of her death.

When a small child she moved with her parents to Taylorsville, Ind. where she was united in marriage to Stephen Struble on Mar. 17, 1853. In 1867 they removed to Plainview, Minn. being among the early settlers of the then new state. To this union were born 10 children, four boys and six girls, eight of whom are left to cherish the memory and mourn the death of a faithful and devoted mother. They are Mrs. Alice French, Ortonville, Minn.; Edward Struble, Mora, Minn.; Mrs. Adelia French, St. Paul, Minn.; George Struble, Warvola (??), Saskatchewan, Can., Orlando Struble, Forest Lake, Minn., Mrs. Grace Russel, Bliss, Idaho; Wayne Struble, Bliss, Idaho; and Mrs. Zenia Michaelson, Genesee, Idaho. Besides the sons and daughters there are 30 grandchildren and 18 great grandchildren.

Mr. Struble’s death occurred in 1895, but Mrs. Struble continued to make her home in Plainview, Minn. until 1905, keeping house and taking part in all the activities around her. Since that time she has made her home with her children, dividing her time among them, spending perhaps more time with her daughter near Genesee. Unobtrusive and quiet in manner but always cheerful and forgetful of self, Grandma Struble endeared herself to all whom she came in contact and her beautiful personality helped to make better the lives of all who knew her.

Short funeral services were conducted at the home of Mrs. Michaelson, Sat. morning. The body was shipped to Plainview, Minn. for burial, accompanied by two daughters of the deceased, Mrs. J. P. Michaelson of Genesee and Mrs. Alice French of Ortonville, Minn.” (R‑51, R‑111)
