JOHN GRAVES/GREAVES
OF
NORTHAMPTONSHIRE, ENGLAND & VIRGINIA
COMMENTS
John
Graves, presently shown as the earliest known ancestor in this genealogy, may
have been a son of William Graves and Ann, who were named as headrights in 1658
in New Kent Co., Virginia. The
background and evidence for this is discussed in a research
study.
It has
been shown by DNA testing of descendants in the United States, England, and
Australia, that this Graves/Greaves family is from the Northamptonshire and
Buckinghamshire area of England.
The various parts of this family and their probable connections are
shown on the Charts page of the Graves Family Association
website. It is expected that
future research and improved DNA testing capabilities will provide a more
complete and precise picture of this family.
GENERATION 1
John
Graves (1) was born about 1665 and died after 1737. His wife's name is not known. It is believed that he was an immigrant to Virginia from
Northamptonshire, England (based on DNA testing, and the Bible record of
Solomon Graves in the Appendix), and his surname may have been spelled
Greaves in England (since all other proven relatives of his in England spelled
their name as Greaves). It was
previously thought that this John was a son of Thomas and Elizabeth Graves
(descended from Capt. Thomas Graves of VA, genealogy 169), since the ages were
right, and there were no other known Graves of the right age to be the father
of this John. He is obviously too
old to be one of the Johns of the Abingdon Parish Register. Francis (genealogy 220, previously
thought to be youngest son of Capt. Thomas Graves of gen. 169) may possibly
have had a son John by a first marriage, but this John died in Essex Co. in
1720. He was also in Essex Co. at
the same time that John Sr. (1) was in King and Queen and King William
Counties. Two John Graves are in
the 1704 Quit Rent Rolls, one in King and Queen Co. and one in King William
Co. The one in King and Queen Co.
might be the John bapt. 1677, Abingdon Parish, but it is also quite possible
that both Johns are one and the same person. As deeds show, John Sr. (1) was of King and Queen Co. in
1704 when he purchased land in King William Co. Therefore, it is quite possible that he is listed for both
areas. The Quit Rent Rolls are
obviously incomplete, as only seven Graves appear on them: Thomas and John in King William Co.,
John and Robert in King and Queen Co., Thomas and Jeffery of Gloucester Co.,
and James of James City Co. There
should be many more.
There are
several deeds that are crucial to establishing this line. They substantiate the birth dates of
John Sr. (1) and his son John Jr., and show that this is the same family that
later settled in Spotsylvania Co.
King William Co., Deed Book 1, pp. 195-7: John Clayton (or Clayborne) of
St. John's Parish, King William Co., sells 100 acres on the north side of the
Pamunkey River to John Graves of Stratton Major (Manor) Parish, King and Queen
Co., 6 May 1704.
King
William Co., Deed Book 1, p. 342: John Graves assigns over all rights, etc., to
the above 100 acres on the Pamunkey to his son John, 20 March 1706/7.
Spotsylvania
Co. Deed Book A, May 24, 1729.
Thomas Gambrill of St. Margaret's Parish, King William Co. In consideration of 100 acres of land,
a tract of land containing 200 acres in Spotsylvania Co. (one of the witnesses
to this deed was Thomas Graves).
This deed
does not describe the bounds of the 100 acres which John Jr. traded off in King
William Co., but inasmuch as he was described as being of King and Queen and
owning 100 acres in King William, it must be the same 100 acres assigned to him
as a Deed of Gift by his father John Graves Sr. There are no other records showing the disposal of the 100
acres or of any other John Graves owning 100 acres in this section.
Spotsylvania
Co. Deed Book F, p. 563, May 31, 1765. John and Frances Graves made a Deed of
Gift to their son, Joseph Graves, specifically mentioning the 200 acres content
and that it was purchased by them in 1729 from Thomas Gambrill.
Journal
of the House of Burgess, 1717-1726, p. 56: William Smith of King William Co. petitions for a bill to
make good the title on entailed land he sold to John Graves Jr., 16 Nov. 1713.
It is
obvious John Graves Jr. was of age by 1713 and most likely either of age or
very close in 1706/7 when given the land on Pamunkey by his father. Therefore, John Jr. was probably born
1685-90 and was the oldest of John Sr.'s known sons. By this same reasoning, John Sr. must have been born by 1670
and more likely by 1665.
Although
there is no record of John Sr. moving to Spotsylvania Co., Va., it is likely
that he moved with his sons. In
Spotsylvania Co. Order Book, 1735-38, p. 501, 7 June 1737, John Graves is set
free of any county levies, he being very ancient and unable to labor. There is no other John in the area to
whom this description would apply.
It is also more appropriate for a man born 1665 than the John who was
probably baptized 1677. John
Graves Sr. died sometime after 1737.
Thomas
Graves, in his will of 1768, specifically mentions Joseph Graves (son of John
Graves, Jr. of Spotsylvania Co.) as his nephew and makes him executor of his
will. This proves beyond
contention that John Graves, Jr. and Thomas Graves, both of Spotsylvania Co.,
were brothers and the sons of John Graves Sr. of King and Queen Co.
The
evidence for Joseph Graves as a son is discussed in the section on Joseph and
his family.
Miss
Louise Graves, in her book referenced at the end of this paragraph, has an
excellent discussion of the ancestry of this John Graves. On pages 47-50 of her book, she points
out the errors in the lineage of this line in the publications of Mrs. Hiden
and John Card Graves. She quotes
Mr. John Frederick Dorman as stating, "The John Graves of King and Queen
Co. who deeded 100 acres in King William Co. to his son is the only logical
John Graves to be the father of Thomas and John Jr. The deed of 1706/7 appears to be an adult John Jr., and if
that is so we must put his birth as ca. 1685 and the father's birth back before
1665. This would make the father a
contemporary of John Graves of St. Ann's Parish, Essex Co. (will 1719-20) who
was of age when he purchased 200 acres there. Neither of these John Graves is identified in Adventurers of Purse and Person although
they fall within the generations covered in that book. They must be either sons of Thomas
Graves, Jr., or Francis Graves, or grandsons of John Graves, the eldest son of
old Captain Thomas."
We now
know (as a result of DNA testing) that this John Graves was not descended from
Capt. Thomas Graves of VA. That
conclusion is also supported by the Bible record of Solomon Graves in the Appendix
to this genealogy. (R‑14, R‑901)

GENERATION 2
CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (1)
John
Graves, Jr. (2) was born about 1685-90, and most likely about 1685, as shown in
the deed discussed in the section on his father. He was probably born in either York Co. or New Kent Co.,
VA. He died after 1772. He married Frances ‑‑‑‑‑‑
about 1715. The first record of
John's arrival in Spotsylvania Co., VA is found in Deed Book A, p. 405: John
Graves, Jr. of St. Stephens Parish, King and Queen Co., VA purchases 200 acres
of land in Spotsylvania Co. for 100 acres of land in King William Co., VA from
Thomas Gambrill of St. Margaret's Parish, King William Co., 24 May 1729; wit:
Thomas Graves. This deed is the
key to the relationships of the Graves of King William Co. and King and Queen
Co. to those who were later in Spotsylvania Co. It proves that John Jr. of Spotsylvania Co. is the same John
Jr. who received the 100 acres from his father in King William Co. in
1706. It also proves that Thomas
Graves (#3) was a brother of John Jr., and therefore also a son of John Graves
Sr. In 1765, John and Frances
deeded this very same land to their son Joseph, reserving a lifetime tenancy
for themselves (Spotsylvania Co., Deed Book F, p. 563). This Joseph is named by Thomas Graves
as his nephew and an executor of his will, confirming that John Jr. and Thomas
were brothers.
John
Graves Jr. owned land in several counties, which he gave as gifts to his sons
over the years, but he maintained his original Spotsylvania Co. residency as
witnessed by the above deed.
Frances died between 1765 and 1772. John died sometime after 1772 when he made a final gift to
his son Joseph. (R‑14, R‑911,
R‑915)

Thomas
Graves (3) was born in 1691 (based on a deposition, Caroline O.B. 1746-54, p.
362), and died in 1768 in Spotsylvania Co., VA. Mrs. Hiden states: "in the absence of documentary
proof, we can still feel confident that Thomas Graves was the son of a John
Graves who had lived in King and Queen Co. but was of the Gloucester Co.
family, born about 1670, son of Thomas and Mary Graves, son of Thomas, son of
Capt. Thomas."
Thomas
Graves consistently maintained his residence on the Pamunkey in Spotsylvania
Co., VA. His wife Ann (or Anne or
Sarah Ann) has generally been thought to be a Davenport, daughter of William
Davenport and Anne Woodruff, but Mrs. Hiden thought she was more likely a
Clark, or of that family connection.
Mrs. Taylor says she was born before 1696. She lived until 1782, and during the Revolution she
furnished supplies to the Continental troops.
It now
appears that the wife of Thomas Graves was definitely Ann Davenport, and that
she was a daughter of Davis Davenport of Pamunkey Neck, Virginia. For further information, see the
website at http://www.pamunkeydavenport.com.
It
appears that Thomas Graves first married Mary Perkins by 1715, and had by this
marriage only three children, two daughters and one son. His wife then died and he remarried by
no later than 1721. The son was
John Graves and one of the daughters was Eleanor Graves, based on Thomas
Kimbrough’s will dated 20 Sept. 1777 in Caswell Co., NC[1]. The source for the former statement is
a record from the Bible of Solomon Graves, son of Rev. Barzillai Graves (who
died 1827). A copy of the Bible
record was made by the NC Archives in 1971. A detailed discussion of this is in the Appendix
of this book. A discussion of the
research for determining the ancestry of Thomas and his brothers is also in the
Appendix,
but it has now been determined that the conclusions were wrong, since all
researchers had made the incorrect assumption that this family was descended
from Capt. Thomas Graves (genealogy 169).
The third child by Mary Perkins may have been Louisa Graves, although
the proof of her date of birth is not good.
The will
of Thomas Graves (Spotsylvania Co. Rec. Will Book D, p. 318) was dated 17 Oct.
1767, probated 6 June 1768, but final settlement was not until July 1802. Thomas is credited with a total of 16
children. However, the estate
settlement plainly states there were only 15 legatees. There were probably other children who
died before reaching adulthood.
There is some question about some of the following children, and
additional proof is needed. Mrs.
Ethel Taylor suggests that there may also have been another child named Sarah.

26. Mary Graves, m. ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Campbell (?). John Bostick signed
receipts for her in all disbursements from her father's estate.
Joseph
Graves (4) migrated from Orange Co., VA to Rowan Co. or Surry Co., NC prior to
1771, probably 1763-1769. (Surry
Co. was formed from Rowan Co. in 1770.)
He married Sarah ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He may only have had the one child
listed below, since she is the only one mentioned in his will. His will in Surry Co., NC was dated 12
July 1774 and proved in August Court 1774. In it he mentioned his wife Sarah, his daughter Mary, and
his son-in-law Benjamin Cleveland.
It leaves portions of his estate to his daughter's two sons, Absalom and
John Cleveland, and states that Benjamin Cleveland, husband of his daughter, be
executor of his estate.
Joseph
lived in Orange Co., VA, and later on Roaring Creek, Rowan (later Surry, now
Wilkes) Co., NC. (Wilkes Co. was
formed from Surry Co. in 1777.)
Mrs. P.
W. Hiden found a 1752 Orange Co. land sale by a Joseph Graves with the consent
of his wife Sarah. Mrs. Hiden
thought this was Joseph6, son of John5 and Frances, and
nephew of Thomas5 who married Ann Davenport, descended from Capt.
Thomas Graves of VA. That Joseph
Graves was born by 1725 in Spotsylvania Co., VA, died 12 May 1785 in Orange
Co., VA, m(1) Sarah ‑‑‑‑‑‑, m(2) Frances
Coleman. However, that is not
possible, since that Joseph died 1785 in Orange Co., VA, whereas the Joseph
Graves of interest died 1774 in Surry Co., NC. The Joseph Graves who died 1785 was also too young to be the
father of Mary, since she was born about 1738.
A
discussion of the evidence for Joseph Graves as a son of John Graves is in the Appendix
to this genealogy.
[Prior to
determining the ancestry of this Joseph Graves, the following speculation was
being pursued: It does appear possible, however, that the Joseph Graves of this
genealogy was related to the Joseph Graves who married Frances Coleman. David Graves, son of Thomas Graves and
Ann Davenport, was in Surry Co., NC by 1762, before moving to Shelby Co., KY,
and it is likely that other members of this family also lived in Surry Co., NC
for a few years. Maybe the John4
Graves who was the father of John and Thomas had another son who had a son, Joseph6
Graves. Perhaps, also, there were
two men named Joseph Graves in Orange Co., VA, one who married Sarah, and the
other who married Frances Coleman (with no first marriage to a Sarah). These possibilities need to be
explored. There was also another
John Graves (genealogy 56) who died about 1764-68 in Orange Co., NC, may have
had a wife Frances, and could have been the father of Joseph Graves.] (R‑205, R‑210, R‑211)

GENERATION 3
CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (2) AND FRANCES ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Elizabeth
("Betty") Graves (5) was born 14 Feb. 1720 in Spotsylvania Co., VA,
and died 6 Jan. 1826 in Green Co., KY.
She married William Sandidge (or Sandridge), son of William Sandidge and
Anne Pulliam. He died testate in
Albemarle Co., VA, probated July 1777.
His will was dated 16 Jan. 1776, and mentioned all his children.
A note of
interest concerning the Sandridge name is that the original spelling is
Sandwich, pronounced Sandage or Sandige.
The letter "r" was added to the spelling of the name during
the Revolutionary War period, reason unknown.
In the
Green Co., KY Circuit Case number 5593, dated 1826, John Hall and wife, Milly
vs. John Sandidge, Elizabeth and William’s children were recorded. The document stated that Mary, William,
Ann, and Susannah were deceased.
According to R‑256, there was another child named Nancy Sandidge,
born 1762, however she was not listed in the 1826 case. (R‑14, R‑138, R‑169,
R‑256, R‑304, R‑911)

him.

35. Susannah Sandidge, b.c. 1764, m. William
Thurman, d. before 1826.
Thomas
Graves (6) was born by 1724, as his father, John Jr., gave him 200 acres on Muddy
Run in 1745 (Orange Co., VA Deed Book 10, p. 24, 1745), and he would have had
to have been at least 21 to own land.
Thomas and his wife Elizabeth sold this land on 22 April 1757. By then it had become part of Culpeper
Co., VA (Culpeper Deed Book C, p. 3).
It is possible that Elizabeth was the widow Elizabeth Simms. In commenting on this, Mrs. Sue Davis
said: "Mrs. Hiden thought it possible that Elizabeth was also called Ann
and a daughter of Thomas Sims who died testate 1785 in Culpeper Co., Va., naming
a daughter Ann Graves. This seems
unlikely, as Thomas and Elizabeth's daughter married Zachariah Sims, son of
Thomas Sims, who died 1785. If Ann
were her mother, she would have married her uncle." However, the fact that one of their
grandchildren was named Thomas Sims Graves raises the question of whether he
may have been named after his great-grandfather.
Thomas
Graves died in 1792 (before 18 June 1792, the date his will was proved),
testate, in Culpeper Co., VA.
Elizabeth had died before this date, since she was not named in the
will.
According
to tradition, Thomas and Elizabeth had 13 or 14 children. The first 9 children listed below are
named in the will of Thomas, and the will gives no implication of other
children. Although Mrs. Hiden
credits Thomas with several other children, Mrs. Sue Davis (R‑14) knew of
no evidence to support this.
(See
correspondence of June 6, 1982 from Gerald Born for more information on this
part of the family.) (R‑12,

bequeathed to the following: son
John; daughter Mary, wife of Richard Parks; daughter Jael, wife of William Jones. Also mentioned was James Parks as
executor, and son John who married Lucy Farquson 10 May 1772 (Genealogical Notes, by Slaughter). (R‑38, R‑911)

Graves (8) was born by 1725 in Spotsylvania Co., Va., and died 12 May 1785 in
Orange Co., VA. He was working in
an iron foundry in Orange Co., VA. when he died. His will was probated in 1786. He first married Sarah ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He married second Frances
("Frankey") Coleman, daughter of John Coleman (b. 1728, d. 1764), who
supposedly served three years in the Revolutionary Army, but, if so, his death
date must have been later) and Eunice ("Nicie") Hawes (b. 1730, d.
1807), daughter of Samuel Hawes and ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Spencer). Frances was born Dec.
1744, and died Dec. 1843 in Fayette Co., KY. Joseph received from his parents deeds of land and chattels
on 2 June 1762 and 31 May 1765.
After he died, his wife and children except Joseph, moved to KY. All the following children are
supposedly by Joseph's marriage to Frances. Frances’ will was written 22 April 1840 and probated in June
1845. (R‑57, R‑911, R‑915)

John
Graves (9) was born about 1725 and died 17 Nov. 1798 in Spotsylvania Co.,
VA. He married Mary McGehee,
daughter of Samuel McGehee of Louisa Co., VA, by 1761. He was living in St.
Martin's Parish, Louisa Co., VA on 31 Oct. 1761. He afterwards lived in Spotsylvania Co., VA. He received several gifts of land in
St. George Parish from his parents in 1761 and 1766, and he made many gifts to
his children in 1794 and 1797. (R‑911)

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (3)
Eleanor
Graves (12) was probably born by 1712 in VA, and died after Sept. 1781 when her
late husband’s will was divided in Caswell Co., NC[4]. She married Thomas Kimbrough, son of
John Kimbrough and his second wife Sarah Elizabeth Bradley. He was born in 1690 (is this date
correct?), and died in 1777 in Caswell Co., NC. The probate of his will in 1777 is recorded in Book A, p.
25. They moved from Spotsylvania
Co., VA in 1764 to Orange Co., NC.
When Caswell Co., NC was formed from Orange Co. in 1777, the family was living
in the new county. (R‑127, R‑195,

John
Graves (13) was born about 1715, and died 18 Jan. 1792 in Caswell Co., NC. Mrs. Hiden believed that John may have
married twice and that his first wife may have been a Herndon. All authorities agree that John married
Isabella (or Isabel) Lea. John
Card Graves states that Isabella was related to the Herndon family of VA. Mrs. Louis Balthasar states that Isabella
was a daughter of James Lea and Ann Herndon (which would provide the Herndon
connection and make the idea of a previous marriage less likely), and that she
was married to John in 1752 or 1753.
If this marriage date is correct, then there must have been a previous
marriage for John Herndon Graves to have been born in 1749.
According
to a genealogy compiled by Charles T. Stamps, father of William T. Stamps (R‑179),
John's first wife was Catherine Herndon.
John and
Isabella moved from James City Co., VA, where most of their children were born,
to what is now Caswell Co., NC., and settled on County Line Creek in the
vicinity of what is now Yanceyville.
Deeds to John of property there, dated 4 Oct. 1771 and 2 April 1772, are
on record. (R‑910, R‑915)

never married, d.c. Jan. 1790 (Caswell Co., NC). He died without heirs.
It was previously mistakenly believed that this was the James Graves
(#527) who was a son of his brother Thomas Graves (#100). Katherine Kerr Kendall, Caswell
County North Carolina Will Books 1777-1814, copyright 1979 by author, 29,
will filed in Book B, p. 311, Caswell County, dated April 14, 1781, names
sister Ann Yancey, brother Thomas Graves (also named executor); witnessed by
Barzillai Graves and John Graves, Sr.; proved by oath of Barzillai Graves and
Azariah Graves who made oath that he believed John Graves, Sr. was a
‘concurring evidence to the said will at the time of execution of same.’

Thomas
Graves (15) was born by 1721 in St. George Parish, Spotsylvania Co., VA, and
died 18 Nov. 1801 in Fayette Co., KY.
He married Isabella (or Isabel or Arabella) Susan Bartlett, sometimes
called Susan, by 1751 in VA probably Louisa Co.
The
marriage date is indicated by an Orange Co., VA deed dated 24 Oct. 1751, Thomas
Graves and wife Isabella of Orange Co. sell to William Warren 150 acres on
Negro Run of Northanna River, signed by Thomas Graves Jr. and Isabella (X)
Graves. Thomas had purchased this
land in May 1751 from William and Ann Lea of Louisa Co., VA.
Isabella
was a daughter of William Bartlett (d. 1775) and Susanna (or Susannah) ‑‑‑‑‑‑. William Bartlett was a son of Thomas
Bartlett of Spotsylvania Co., Va.
Isabella was born about 1737 or earlier in Spotsylvania Co., and died
April 1818 in Fayette Co., KY.
Thomas
Graves lived in Spotsylvania Co., then in Orange Co., VA, where he was
Constable in 1754, and later he is found in the records of Louisa Co., VA. In Louisa in 1777, his name appears on a
tax list being charged with 7 tithables (History
of Louisa Co., by Harris, p. 169).
About 1784 or 1785 he moved to Fayette Co., Kentucky, where he bought
and settled on a 700 acre tract of land (bought from Gen. William Christian of
the Revolutionary Army) situated about five miles north of Lexington, Ky. He was a cooper. He was a Revolutionary soldier, and
also contributed to the cause by furnishing food and supplies to the
Continental troops. He was at the
battle of Yorktown, and later stated that he had witnessed the surrender of
Cornwallis there (History of Kentucky,
by Collins). At one time his home
was headquarters for General Lafayette (History
of Fayette Co., Ky., by Perrin).
In a suit
filed in Fayette Co., Ky., Oct. 1788, "Henderson vs. Graves", Thomas
deposed that "sometime before I moved to Kentucky, my son William
purchased for me, from John Henderson of Orange Co., 10 bbls. of corn which was
sent to Fredericksburg for salt."
Although Thomas Graves died in 1801, his estate was not settled until
1819, and settlement is recorded in Fayette Co. Will Book E, p. 40. A brief abstract of his will, made in
Fayette Co., is as follows:
I desire my just debts be paid, to my son William Graves 500 acres
situate on Licking in the co. of Campbell, the title to me made by Lewis Craig,
Sr., also the money he has collected from my father's estate by virtue of a
power of attorney from me to him, the said William for that purpose. To my son Bartlett, a negro man named
Charles, also the one half of 700 acres on Green River, part of 1000 acres
purchased of Hubbard Taylor. To my
son John, the tract whereon I live at the death of my wife Isabel Graves, also
all my lands on the south side of Ky. river except 300 acres to James Randolph
and Rosannah his wife, and the one half of 700 acres to Bartlett Graves. To daughter Rosannah Randolph 300
acres. To daughter Isabel Hall
150-1/2 acres land situate in Campbell Co. and on the Ohio adjacent Wood and
Ware. To my daughter Ann Hancock a
negro named Rachel. To my daughter Sally Graves a negro named Dinah. To my daughter Mary Beeler a negro
named Jane. To my daughter Liddy
Graves a negro named Eve. To my
loving wife Isabel half of land whereon I live with the mansion house and
certain personality. Sons John and

Susanna
(or Susannah) Graves (19) was born by 1740 and died by 1802. She married William Pettus, son of
Dabney Pettus and Ann Overton, in 1759.
He was born about 1729, and died 18 Sept. 1795 according to his will
filed in Spotsylvania Co., VA (Virginia County Records, 1721-1800, WB F, p.
53), bond dated 18 Sept. 1795.
According
to The Pettus Family, compiled and
edited by A. Buhmer Rudd, 1957, pp. 22ff, it is more reasonable that William
Pettus was the father of William Pettus who married Susanna Graves. This is based on the connection with
the Hart name and family, and other evidence.
William
Pettus (who married Susanna) moved to Louisa Co., VA, where his father's
brother John lived. In 1751,
William Pettus witnessed a deed (Book A, p. 444) when his uncle bought 214
acres on Elk and Little Rocky creeks.
In 1756, John Pettus sold this 214 acres to William Pettus (Book B, p.
96). This was in St. Martin's
parish. Valentine calls him
"of Trinity" in 1773 (Trinity was made from St. Martin's) and
"of Spotsylvania" in 1788 (Valentine, pp. 103, 426). He was known as Col. William Pettus of
Louisa, this because he served in the militia of Louisa Co. before the
Revolution and was a militia Colonel after the war. He was on the Committee of Safety in 17‑‑ in
Louisa Co. He finally settled in
Spotsylvania Co., Va., probably because his wife's people were there.
In 1772,
Ann Graves, mother of Susanna (Graves) Pettus, gave a negro girl to her
granddaughter Barbara Pettus (Crozier, pp. 153, 296). Col. William Pettus's will, dated 18 Sept. 1795 and proved 4
Dec. 1798, listed children: Barbara, Anne, Susan, Louisa, William, Joseph,
James, and Hart. The last child
was called "Hart" in will and deeds, but Hart always signed as
Overton Hart and married as Overton Hart.

Rice
Graves (20) was born about 1729 in St. George Parish, Spotsylvania Co., VA, and
died in 1814 in Louisa Co., VA. In
Spotsylvania Records, O. Book 1738-49, p. 466, June 7, 1748, he is called
"Rice Graves, son of Thos. Graves Sr." and would hardly have been so
designated had he then been 21 years of age.
He married
Jane Young, daughter of John Young and Christian Bruce, about 1751-2. (John Card Graves said this was his
second marriage.) Jane died in
1812.
We next
find Rice as defendant in a chancery suit brought by Thomas Graves on Feb. 6,
1752 (Spots. Rec., O. Book 1749-55, p. 166). In 1759, he was appointed to serve under John Robinson,
surveyor of roads (Spots. Rec., O. Book 1755-65, p. 140). In 1760, as Rice Graves of Spotsylvania
Co., he bought from William and Mary Macon of New Kent Co. 190 acres "on North
Anna River of Pamunkey" (Louisa Rec., Deed Book D, p. 31), and probably
moved at once into Louisa Co.
Parenthetically, it might be remarked that all the members of this
Graves family had their habitat, so far as can be determined, either on the
north side of the Northanna River in Spotsylvania Co., or on the south side in
Louisa Co. Not until John ventured
into North Carolina did any of them stray far from this river. In 1772, Rice added more land to his
holdings (Louisa Records, Deed Book D-1/2, p. 375), and in 1777 we find him
listed with five tithables (Harris' History
of Louisa Co., p. 169). Rice
was a soldier in the Revolutionary War.
He was administrator of his mother's estate, 15 Aug. 1782. He was on the first U.S. census in 1783
in Essex Co., VA, and his family then consisted of four whites and three
blacks. In 1806 (Louisa Rec., Deed
Book K, p. 253), describing himself as old and infirm, he appointed his son
John to act as trustee in an equal division of his property among his children.
Louisa Co., Deed Book L, p. 225,
July 11, 1809, begins: “This Deed
entered into betwixt John Tate executor of Elizabeth Tate, dec’d. of the first
part and William Arnett attorney in fact for Richard Graves of the second part,
James Arnett, Thomas Arnett, William Arnett and Susan Arnett who intermarried
with John Long of the fourth part, Lawrence Young attorney in fact for Thomas
Graves of the fifth part, William Graves of the sixth part Joseph Pettus of the
seventh part Benjn Graves of the eighth part, Nancy Graves of the ninth part
Catharine Graves of the tenth part and John Graves of the eleventh part”. It is not known if this is the exact
birth order, but the order is consistent with the list of children recorded in
Book K. .In the settlement of the
estate as returned by John Graves (Will Book 5, p. 572, July 10, 1815) occur
these entries: "Aug. 1812, to pd. Absalom Waller for preaching Mother's
funeral", and "Aug. 1814, to pd. Wm. G. Hiter for preaching Father's
funeral."
Other
sources believe Rice and Jane had two other daughters, Mildred or Amelia,
nicknamed Millie, and Judith.
Millie married William Abney in 1785 in Amherst Co., VA, and died about
1810 in Rockcastle Co., KY.
William married second Judith (Graves) Clark, widow of Joseph Clark, on
29 July 1811 in Estill Co., KY.
She died 10 Feb. 1853 in Rockcastle Co., KY. On the marriage record for ‘Milley’ Graves and William
Abney, her mother ‘Gean’ Graves gave consent for the marriage. However, Rice Graves was still alive
and would have been the likely person to give his consent. Neither of these daughters has been
added to this family.
Based on
the newly acquired deed information, Mildred/Amelia and Judith are not
daughters of Rice Graves. (R‑21,

Long, to James O. Pettus a negro man and some furniture; to her sister
Catherine Graves a negro man, all of her household and kitchen furniture, stock
of horses, cattle and hogs, and her land; and appointed her nephew James O.
Pettus executor. It is likely that
her sister Lucy Pettus and family, Thomas Arnett, and her sister Catherine
Graves, were then living in Madison Co., AL, instead of KY.
165. Catherine ("Kate")

David
Graves (21) was born about 1730 in Louisa Co. (or Spotsylvania Co.), VA, and
died in Jan. (or Feb.) 1808 in Shelby Co., KY. He married Agnes Holloway. She outlived David.
By the settlement of his estate, they had two sons and four daughters.
Agnes was
a daughter of Charles Holloway and his wife Hannah ‑‑‑‑‑‑. Charles died by Jan. 17, 1803, in
KY. In his will, witnessed by John
Graves, he did not name his children.
He mentioned his brother George Holloway in Virginia. In Spotsylvania Co., VA, William
Holloday/Holloway left a will dated 4 May 1746, and mentioned his sons Charles
and George, along with other children.
Also in Spotsylvania Co., VA, John Graves, Jr., left a will dated 2 June
1747. Witnesses to that will were
Joseph and Benjamin Hollowday.
David
Graves was in Surry Co., NC by 1762, when his son Edmund was born, and moved to
Shelby Co., KY as one of the early settlers. He is said to have served in the Revolutionary War.
In the
Louisa Co., VA Loose Papers, there is a bond dated Oct. 22, 1766 from John Day
to David Graves. On Sept. 20, 1779
in Surry Co., NC, David witnessed a deed.
In Fayette Co., KY, a David Graves is listed with 2 tithables, and in
the first tax list of Shelby Co., KY, David is listed with 220 acres on Beech
Creek.
The
Shelby Co., KY Grantor Deeds, 1789-1838, records that David gave a "deed
of Gift" to Thomas Martin, his son-in-law, on May 25, 1807, 196 acres on
Guist. Then on Feb. 8, 1808 there
is an agreement from Thomas Martin marked "division."
David's
will, on record in Shelby Co., was written 9 Jan. 1808, and was produced in
court on 8 Feb. 1808. His children
are not listed in the will by name, but his granddaughter, Agnes Conely, is
given a "two-year old mare and saddle and a bed and furniture such as his
wife Agnes shall give her."
David
also states that his wife, Agnes, shall have the possession of his estate
during her natural lifetime. He
wills that his daughter, Elizabeth Leatherman, shall receive an equal portion
but it is to be lodged in the hands of Richard Graves for her use and under his
direction. His son Richard is to
be the executor.
On June
18, 1819 the heirs of David are mentioned in a court order about a certain
tract of land in Shelby Co. on Beech Creek containing 248 acres. (R‑70, R‑148, R‑910)

Nancy
Graves (22) was born about 1735, and died by 1809 in Wilkes Co., GA. (Mrs. Hiden had suggested the
possibility that this was Catherine or Katherine Graves.) She married William Lea, brother of
Isabella Lea. They moved to and
lived in Caswell Co., N.C. William
died testate May-July 1794 in Wilkes Co., Ga.
Nancy is
not documented as a daughter of Thomas and Ann, but there is circumstantial
evidence. A daughter did marry a
William Lea, and this William was a brother of Isabella Lea who married John
Graves. The names used in this
family are names used by this Graves line. (R‑14)

John Spencer, perhaps 1757 in Spotsylvania Co., VA. He was born about 1732 in Hanover Co., VA, and died in 1789
in Albemarle Co., VA. They lived
in Albemarle Co., VA. (R‑14,

Robert
Graves (24) was born before 1755, based on the 1800 census for Chesterfield
Co., SC, showing him in the 45 and over age category. Based on the birth dates of his children, his birth date may
have been 1735-1740. His wife may
have been Jean ‑‑‑‑‑‑, since she was
cosigner with him on one deed.
Most of the following evidence is from Mrs. Sue Davis (R‑14).
Although
most of the evidence is circumstantial, it appears that Robert is the father of
at least the following three children.
He is the only Graves in SC land records to be in the right place at the
right time. The probability that he is a son of Thomas and Ann (Davenport)
Graves also explains the Davenport name for many of his descendants.
Robert
Graves was the only Graves in Chesterfield Co. records during at least 1770-80,
as evidenced by the deeds listed below.
Chesterfield Co. was created from Craven District. Both Lewis and Richard Graves owned
land on Thompson Creek in Anson Co., N., just across the state line.

Family
papers or oral tradition in the Sholars family say Lewis Graves had brothers
Richard and John. Records seem to
bear this out. Richard Graves gave
testimony to Lewis' service in pension application. He witnessed an Anson Co., NC deed of Lewis Graves. He signed a receipt for Lewis on SC
Stub Indent. John Graves also
witnessed an Anson Co. deed. John
lived in the same district in Hancock Co., GA and in Jasper Co., GA as
Lewis. He was also a codefendant
in a law suit with Lewis in Hancock Co.
(R‑14)

CHILDREN OF JOSEPH GRAVES (4) AND SARAH ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Mary
Graves (27) was born about 1738, and died in 1800 at Fort Madison, Pickens Co.,
SC. She married Benjamin Cleveland
about 1758-60. He was born 26 May 1738 in Blue Run, Orange Co., VA, and died 15
Oct. 1806 in Fort Madison, Pickens Co., SC. They were buried on the Cleveland Plantation, Fort Madison.
Col.
Benjamin Cleveland moved from VA to Yadkin, Rowan Co., NC about 1763 (Rowan
became Surry Co. in 1770 and Wilkes Co. in 1777), and lived there until after
the Revolution. Benjamin lost his
home in Wilkes Co., NC through a faulty title, and then moved to Pendleton
District, SC, on the Tugaloo River, where he was a judge, as he had been in NC.
Col.
Benjamin Cleveland was "the famous Colonel of Indian Wars in NC and of the
Revolution at the Battle of King's Mountain, and the terror of Tories whom he
hanged without ceremony."
Cleveland Co., NC and the town of Cleveland, TN are named for him.
It has
been incorrectly believed by some that Benjamin Cleveland had Graves ancestry,
descended from Jane Graves, a great-granddaughter of Capt. Thomas Graves of VA
through Thomas's son Francis[5]. It was believed that Jane Graves and
John Coffey had a daughter, Martha Elizabeth Coffey, who married John
Cleveland. However, that is not
correct. Elizabeth Coffey,
daughter of Edward Coffey and sister of John Coffey, is the one who married
John Cleveland. This couple lived
most of their lives at Blue Run, Orange Co., VA, and had several famous sons,
most notably Col. Benjamin Cleveland of Revolutionary War fame. This ancestry is discussed by George A.
Martin in "Virginia Cleveland Ancestor Discovered", Nat. Gen. Soc. Quarterly, vol. 46, no.
3, Sept. 1958, p. 152.
One
account says: Col. Ben's only daughter married General Wyly of Iredell Co., NC,
and their son, General James Rutherford Wyly, was a distinguished officer of
the War of 1812. He married Sarah
Hawkins Clark, granddaughter of Gov. John Sevier of TN, who was a General at
King's Mountain. It is possible
that Col. Ben’s daughter, Jemima, was adopted; that would explain why she was
left out of his will.
According
to R‑501, Jemima was the illegitimate daughter of Col. Cleveland by Mary
Elizabeth Meyers. ‘Jemima had two
children out of wedlock with James Wyly’ in 1782 and 1784. After the Revolutionary War, Wyly
married another woman. Jemima had
four children by Evangelist (Evan) Edwards; although they did not marry, they
lived together the required seven years for a common-law marriage. After the death of Edwards in 1794,
Jemima’s father instructed William Martin to come to Oconee, Tugaloo Co., SC
where he gave her a plantation house, cattle, etc. and slaves. She married Daniel Cleveland, son of
David Cleveland. He was the
overseer for her father. He was
born about 1776 in VA, and died after 1860. He was recorded on the 1850 and 1860 censuses in East
Feliciana Parish, LA.
At least
the two sons were born in Albemarle Co., VA. (R‑20, R‑204, R‑205, R‑208, R‑209,

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (6) AND ELIZABETH ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Thomas
Graves (36) was born Sept. 1747 in Culpeper Co., VA, and died 12 March 1834 in
Lincoln Co., MO. He married Martha
Ryan, and possibly Mary Mason.
[His son Thomas married Mary Mason on 20 Nov. 1795, so this appears to
be incorrect.] He moved to Bourbon
Co., KY, and was in Warren Co., MO in 1820. He was judge of the county court for Warren and Montgomery
Co’s., MO. According to Mrs. P. W.
Hiden, Martha Ryan may have been Thomas' second wife. She was first married to William Sims, who died in
1769. (R‑12, R‑310, R‑911)

252. Waller Graves, b.c. 1782, m. Mary
("Polly") Rucker, d. 1833 (in prison). She was dau. of John Rucker (b. Caroline Co., VA, d. 1794,
Orange Co., VA) and Mary Burton (d. 1823). This is probably the Waller Graves who was insane when he
killed William Kent (husband of Mary Ann Zumwalt) at Newton Howell's home on
Oct. 2, 1830 in Montgomery, MO.
Other sources identify the victim as ‘the father-in-law of Henry B.
Graves, his nephew’.
Lewis
Graves (37) was born about 1750 in Culpeper Co., VA, and died 11 May 1810 in
Laurens, Laurens Co., SC[6]. Various deeds place his parents in
Culpeper from the 1740’s on. He
first married Ann Sims, daughter of Thomas Sims, before 1782 in Culpeper Co.,
VA. He married second Rebecca
(Starnes) Sims, daughter of Ebenezer Starnes and Anna Fields, after 10 Sept.
1805, when the will of her first husband, William Sims, was proved. She was born about 1760 in SC, and died
after 1850, probably in TN. She
apparently remarried after Lewis’ death to an unknown McWhorley, whom she
outlived. She was recorded with
Martin Graves on the 1850 census in Hardin Co., KY as Rebecca McWhorley. She would have been both mother-in-law
and stepmother to Martin Graves.
Lewis is
listed in the 1790 U.S. census of Laurens Co., SC as Lewis Greaves. He is found with this spelling
elsewhere as well. In reading the
will of his father, Thomas Graves of Culpeper Co., VA, one might interpret some
of the wording in the codicil to mean a family tift had developed between
father and son. Perhaps this was
the reason for his adoption of an alternative spelling. Lewis is listed in this census as
having one free white male over 16 (himself), 3 free white males under 16, 5
free white females, and 3 slaves.
Based on this data, we can conclude he probably had 3 young sons, a
wife, and 4 daughters.
On the
same page of the census are found Elizabeth Simms, probably his sister who was
widowed in 1789 and yet to marry Dr. John Creecy. She is listed with 1 male over 16, 4 males 16 and under, 5
females (including herself), and 4 slaves. Also on the same page is Aaron Stern (Starnes), the father
of Rebecca Starnes, wife of his son Lewis.
The 1800
census for Laurens Co., SC listed Lewis Graves with 1 male 0-10, 2 males 10-16,
1 male 26-45, 1 male over 45 (Lewis), 1 female 0-10, 2 females 16-26, 1 female
26-45, 6 slaves.
Even
though Lewis Graves was a justice of the peace and probated many wills, he
apparently died intestate. There
is an estate sale in the records of Laurens Co., SC. His heirs are listed as George C. Madden, Fanny Graves, John
Addams, and Lewis Graves.
Administrators are William and Martin Graves. Purchasers were Rebecca and Fanny Graves. This estate sale occurred on 31 May
1810 (bundle 29, package 7, Laurens Co., SC). The doctor bill was paid to Dr. John Creecy. John Wait was appointed to appraise the
estate. Another source has
slightly different data. No date is
given, but the administrators are the same William and Martin Graves. Heirs are not listed as such, but the
following purchasers are named: Rebecah Graves, Wm. Graves, Lewis Graves,
Fanney Graves, Martin Graves, Moses Madden, George Madden, Jacob Niswanger,
John Adams, John Williard (?), Richard Golden, John Newman, William Crocker,
John Creecy, John Boyce, Martin Shaw, James Sims, Martin Sims, George Morgan,
John Wait, Joseph Bolton, William McFerson, Isaac Mosely, Larkin Gaines, Samuel
Anderson, Thomas Brock, and Ebeneezer Harris. (Notice some of the spellings differ, but they were copied
exactly as written.)
From
another source, purchasers at the estate sale were: James Sims, John Sims, Joel
Sims, John Wait, Phillip Wait, Dr. John Creecy.
Lewis had
a sister Elizabeth (will of Thomas Graves, 1792; will of Dr. John Creecy; 1790
Laurens Co., SC census). Lewis
also had a sister Frances Wait (will of Thomas Graves, 1792; will of Dr. John
Creecy). Lewis was listed in the
Culpeper Co. personal property tax roll for 1782 and 1783; 1 slave,
Winnie. He was in SC in 1792,
according to the will of Thomas Graves.
Pension
application of John Wait, no. 7812, filed 1834, from Laurens Co., S.C., states
he served from Culpeper Co., VA.
Elizabeth Creecy gave testimony that she had known Wait for 62
years. (Elizabeth was widow of Dr.
Creecy and widow of Zachariah Sims; see will of Creecy.) Witnessed by William Graves (son of Lewis
Graves who died 1810).
The first
2 children listed below were probably born in VA, the third one definitely was,
and the others were born in Laurens Co., SC. (R‑196, R‑202, R‑585, R‑920)

of 7 May 1820.
Elizabeth
Graves (38) was born about 1752 in Culpeper Co., VA, and died between July 1829
and 4 Nov. 1831 in Laurens Co., SC.
She first married Zachariah Simms (or Sims), son of Thomas Simms and
Rebecca Petty, in Culpeper Co., VA.
He was born about 1748 in Culpeper Co., and died about 24 Aug. 1790 or
before in Laurens Co., SC. After
the death of Zachariah, Elizabeth married second Dr. John Creecy in Laurens
Co., SC. He died before 15 Jan.
1812 in Laurens Co.

From Abstracts of Early Records of Laurens Co.,

Lydia to John Creecy for 75 acres on Black Cr. of Reedy R. bordering on Ezekiel
Andrews, John Wait & John Sims, Geo. Wharton. D. Anderson, JQ. D.R. (Dower Rights) of Lyda Pugh. In Deed Book J: 6/9/1810-2/5/1812, John
Creecy and wife Elizabeth (former widow of Zachariah Sims) marriage settlement
to equalize division of slaves among legatees: John Sims, Thomas Sims, Jesse
Pugh and wife Lyda, James Wait and Sarah, James Sims. Wit.: D. Anderson, John Wait, William Fulton, J.P.
There is
a question as to whom the children of Elizabeth Graves were. The will of John Creecy lists as
children of Elizabeth’s first marriage James, Joel, Zachariah S., and
Fanny. The marriage settlement of
John Creecy and Elizabeth lists as legatees John Sims, Thomas Sims, James Sims,
Lydia (Pugh), and James Wait.
Since James Wait was probably a nephew (son of Elizabeth’s sister
Frances), how can we be sure that John, Thomas and Lydia were also
children? Perhaps John and Thomas
were children of Joel or Zachariah, since neither of them were listed in the
settlement, or perhaps the people not mentioned in the settlement had already
been provided for separately. (R‑140,

William
Graves (40) was born about 1755 in Culpeper Co., VA, and died in 1833 at the
old home place in Mackville, Washington Co., KY. It is possible that his full name was William Thomas Graves,
but there is no proof of that. He
married Sarah Fisher of Culpeper Co., VA, possibly on 22 Dec. 1790 (although
there is some belief that that is the marriage date to a second wife).
It was
previously believed that the son Thomas was Thomas Sims Graves, born 13 July
1794 in Culpeper Co., VA, died 6 May 1859 in Nelson Co., KY, who first married
Harriet R. Gist and married second Mary E. Graves. Through DNA analysis, it has been conclusively proven that
Thomas Sims Graves was not a descendant of Capt. Thomas Graves (genealogy 169)
nor of genealogy 270. Uriah Noah
Graves was also confirmed by DNA testing to be a brother of Thomas Sims Graves,
and both have been put in genealogy 94.
Both these men were sons of a William Graves. The birth date of William
Graves has been given as about 1755 by some researchers and about 1776 by
others, and he has been listed with different wives and different
children. The most likely answer
to this confusion is that there are two different men named William
Graves. We need to separate the two
families and perform DNA testing on any lines that are still questionable. It is likely that some of the other
children listed below also belong in genealogy 94. (R‑190, R‑276, R‑911, R‑912)

Buckler, descended from John Graves and Sarah Noble of MD & KY (genealogy
96). That William Graves was b.c.
1780-1790, so he couldn’t possibly have been Ony’s father.

in 1804 and appeared in Madison Co., VA in 1810. After 1820 he left Madison Co. They supposedly had at least 10 children. The following

James F.
Graves (43) was born about 1765, and died in Dec. 1811. He was described as being 16-21 in 1783
in Culpeper Co., Va. He was out of
the county in 1784-85 and there in 1786.
He first married Elizabeth Pratt of Culpeper Co., daughter of Thomas
Pratt and Maryann ‑‑‑‑‑‑, about 1782. He married second Elizabeth Parnell on
8 Sept. 1809. In 1810 he moved to
New Madrid, MO, where he died in Dec. 1811.
There is
some question regarding the following children, since one source lists the
first three, then lists Mary E. Graves who married her first cousin Thomas S.
Graves, and then does not show any of the other children. (R‑179, R‑911, R‑912)

might be descended from Johann Sebastian Graff, an immigrant from the German
Palatinate, who lived in PA, NC and TN.
There is
no proof that Horace Graves was a son of this Joseph Graves. However, the 1850 census for Gallatin
Co., KY showed him living very close to Lorenzo D. Graves, and the 1820 and
1830 Boone Co., KY censuses for Joseph Graves showed 3 sons of the right ages

Colonel
John Graves (52) was born 4 Sept. 1745 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va.,
and died 24 June 1824. He served
as Ensign and Lieutenant in the company commanded by Maj. George Slaughter in
the 8th Va. Regt. commanded by Col. Abraham Bowman in the Revolutionary
War. The company was designated at
various times as "Capt. George Slaughter's Co." and as "Lieut.
John Graves' Co." He was
commissioned 26 Jan. 1776 and resigned 22 April 1778 (Record and Pension
Office, War Dept.). He was in the
battles of Brandywine, Germantown, Monmouth and Yorktown. He was a trusted officer of Gen.
Nathaniel Greene in N.C. and was detailed by him to oppose the passage of part
of Cornwallis' force across the Yadkin, which he did with conspicuous and
distinguished gallantry.
After the
war, probably in 1781, he moved to Wilkes Co., Ga., and in 1786 was Colonel
commanding a Georgia regiment against the Creek Indians. Another source stated that he moved to
Ga. in 1823, and that his nephew, William Francis Strother, went with him. William was a son of Anne Fargeson,
sister of John Graves' first wife.
John
Graves first married Lucy Farquson (or Fargeson), daughter of Samuel Fargeson
of Culpeper Co., Va., on 10 May 1772.
He married second Catherine West in 1795. She was born 1763 in Holland,
and died in 1841. (R‑160, R‑915)

Maj.
Benjamin Franklin Graves (56) was born 9 April 1773 (or in 1771) in
Spotsylvania Co., VA and died 22 (or 23) Jan. 1813. He was killed at the battle of River Raisin in Michigan when
Gen. Winchester was defeated Jan. 22, 1813, and when his brother, Col. Thomas
Coleman Graves was also killed. He
first married Mary Boxley. She
died in 1803 in Spotsylvania Co.
In the year of her death he and Mary sold a house lot, which she had
inherited from her father, to her brother George Boxley. They had no children.
He
married second Polly Dudley, daughter of Rev. and Capt. Ambrose Dudley and Ann
Parker. Polly was born 6 Sept.
1783 in Fayette Co., KY, and died 15 Aug. 1868 in St. Louis, MO where she had
resided for 40 years. In 1858, she
applied for an extension of the pension she had been receiving based on Benjamin’s
War of 1812 service. This was
signed on 30 Nov. 1858 in Pike Co., KY.
Ann
Parker was a daughter of William Parker and Susanna Winslow of Spotsylvania
Co., Va., where the Dudleys were also seated. Ambrose Dudley was a son of Robert Dudley and Joyce
Gale/Gayle, and was an officer in the Revolution.
In 1805
Benjamin and Polly Graves sold to his brother Joseph Graves 80 acres in
Spotsylvania Co. bequeathed to Coleman Graves by their father. The will of Benjamin Graves mentions
his wife Polly Graves, his mother, and brother Thomas C. Graves. His mother, brothers John C. Graves and
George Graves, and brother-in-law James Dudley, were executors of his will.
Benjamin
was a member of the Kentucky Legislature from Fayette Co. from 1801 to
1806. He engaged in agricultural
pursuits and was an amiable, shrewd, and vigorous man. He was among the first to volunteer
after war was declared against the British in 1812. He was made Major of the 5th Ky. Regt. commanded by Col.
Lewis, and proved to be a vigilant and gallant officer. He and his brother Coleman Graves were
killed in Jan. 1813 at the Battle of River Raisin. Graves Co., KY was named for him in 1823. According to the family Bible, six
children were born to Benjamin and Polly, all in Fayette Co., Ky.
Even
though it is said that Benjamin and his first wife Mary had no children, and
that Benjamin and Polly only had 6 children, James Dudley Graves is listed as a
child. The rationale for this is
that descendants believe this is the proper placement, it seems reasonable
based on name, date and place of birth, and there is no better place to put
him. It is also possible that he
could be the same as Ambrose Dudley Graves, or that Benjamin and Polly actually
had 7 children but only 6 lived.

CHILDREN OF ANN GRAVES (10) AND JOHN McGEHEE

Levina) Smith, daughter of David Smith and Elizabeth Ragland, on 30 Oct.
1783. The children listed below
are questionable except for Augustine S. McGehee. R‑918 has Thompson and Mary McGehee marrying brother
and sister Mary and Richard Thompson in 1799; if the marriage date of William
and Lavinia is correct, Thompson and Mary would have been quite young. It is probable that they are the
children of William’s brother Augustine and his second wife Sarah (Wyatt)
Thompson. (R‑179, R‑282,

Ann
("Nancy") Graves (116) was born 22 July 1756 in Spotsylvania Co., VA,
and died 6 March 1846 in Butler Co., OH.
She married John Hancock, son of Benjamin Hancock and Mary (“Polly”)
Beadles of Hanover Co., VA, on 7 May 1774 in Louisa Co., VA[20]. He was born 4 March 1753 in Hanover
Co., VA, and died before 27 Oct. 1827 in Butler Co., OH, when an appraisal of
his estate was recorded..
The
family lived in Louisa Co., VA during the Revolutionary War, where John served
and was appointed Captain in the Militia on April 13, 1779. For this service, he received a land
warrant for bounty land. The
family moved to Kentucky about 1788, where they settled in Woodford Co. for a
short time, then moved to Franklin Co.
Sometime between 1805 and 1812, they moved to Butler Co., OH, where it
is said John Hancock built the first cabin on what is now the town square of
Oxford. This location was at the
crossing of two Indian trails and because of the scarcity of water, he
abandoned it and moved closer to what is now Hamilton, OH. He died there in Hanover Twp. before
Oct. 27, 1827, when an appraisal of his estate was recorded.
Nancy
died in Reily Twp., Butler Co., OH, and both were buried on a part of their
property which they set aside as a burial ground. A few years ago, a committee was appointed in Butler Co. to
locate the graves of the early pioneers who died there before 1860. The graves of John and Nancy Hancock
were located and their remains were moved to Oxford Cem. at Oxford, OH (Butler Co. Graveyard Records by Jane
Knox Skinner). (R‑13, R‑16,

Sarah
("Sally") Graves (142) was born sometime after May in 1775 in
Pittsylvania Co., VA (in what later became Henry Co.), died 4 Jan. 1866, most
likely at her son Joseph's home in Savannah, Hardin Co., TN, and was buried in
Savannah Cem. She married Thomas
East on 12 Aug. 1790. He was born
in 1765 in VA, probably Halifax Co., since his father owned land there from
1764 to 1777 (in what later became Henry Co.), and died 4 Oct. 1844 in
Waynesboro, TN, probably at the home of his son Joseph, who had moved there
soon before 1840 from the Lynnville area.
Thomas
and Sarah moved to Giles Co., TN in 1823 or 1824, and settled at old Lynnville
(the present site of Lynnville is about five miles from the site of the
1830's), along with many of their children. Thomas bought 80 acres in Giles Co. in 1826, and he and
Sarah lived there in the 1830's near their son Barzley. Many of their children were members of
the Roberson Fork Church of Christ at Linnville, so there is good reason to
assume that Thomas and Sarah were members also.
By May of
1849 (after Thomas had died) Sarah was living in McNairy Co. with or near her
son Barzley. On that date she gave
him power of attorney to collect a debt owed her from someone in Hardin Co.,
and gave her place of residence as McNairy Co. She could not write. In the early 1800's it was not uncommon
for the women to be illiterate, since there were few public schools and there
was little need for the women to work outside the home.
In the
early 1850's Sarah moved to Savannah, TN, in nearby Hardin Co., where she died.
Their children were born in Henry
Co., VA. (R‑85)

CHILDREN OF RICHARD GRAVES (18) AND LUCY DAVENPORT
Col. John
Graves (143) was born 18 Dec. 1757 in Louisa Co., VA, and died 31 (or 10[24])
Oct. 1843 in Fayette Co., KY. He
married Lydia Graves (#122), daughter of Thomas Graves and Isabella Bartlett
(his uncle and aunt), on 23 Dec. 1784 in Louisa Co., VA. She was born 2 Oct. 1769 in VA, and
died 7 Sept. 1856. She was
recorded on the 1850 census in the household of her son Jefferson in Scott Co.,
KY.
The
consent of her father to the marriage is filed with the marriage bonds of the
county. The pension record of John
Graves (Bounty Land Warrant 26 574-160-55) shows that he was born in Louisa Co.
Dec. 18, 1757, that he resided for a while in Spotsylvania Co. and later in Orange
Co., VA, enlisting in Spotsylvania Co. in 1776. After his death, on April 8, 1844, his son John applied for
his pension to be continued to Lydia, the widow. Lydia made oath that she was 74 years old on Oct. 2, 1843,
and had married John Graves on Dec. 23, 1784, thus proving that she was the
daughter of Thomas Graves and Isabella Bartlett.
John
stated that he went to KY Dec. 5 or 6, 1786, that his brother, now living 8
miles this side of Cincinnati on the turnpike road, went out the year before
and “purchased the place of John and Elijah Craig for my Father; Father, Mother
and myself came out with 30 blacks.
My brother who had remained came by water.”[25]
The Bible
record of John and Lydia’s children was included in the pension papers, and
provided the data for all of the children listed below. (R‑910)

CHILDREN OF SUSANNAH GRAVES (19) AND WILLIAM PETTUS
Barbara
Pettus (148) may have been born about 1752 in Louisa Co., VA. However, since her parents were
supposedly married about 1759, that date for her birth is questionable. She died in Abbeville Co., SC. She married John Arnold. He was born about 1758 in Louisa Co.,
VA. They moved to SC. (R‑476)
Children - Arnold
739. William Pettus Arnold
740. Mildred (“Milly”) Arnold, b.c. 1786

741. Hart Pettus Arnold, b.c. 1791
(Spotsylvania Co., VA).
742. John Pettus Arnold, b. 1790-1810
(SC).
William
Pettus (149) was born in 1764 in Louisa Co., VA, and died in Feb. 1813 in
KY. He married Lucy Waters Pettus,
daughter of John Pettus and Mary Waters, on 9 Feb. (or 10 April) 1784 in Louisa
Co., VA. She was his first cousin
once removed.
His
father gave him land in Spotsylvania Co., VA in 1788 (Crozier 1, p. 451) and
calls him "of Spotsylvania" in 1792, but he seems to have owned land
in Louisa Co., Va. in 1811 (Valentine, p. 1143). As executor of his father's will, he sold 376 acres in
Spotsylvania Co. in 1799 (Crozier 1, p. 509). In 1808, he followed the Arnolds to Ky. The names of the following children and
their dates are from a Bible record.

Susannah
Pettus (150) may have been born about 1758 in Louisa Co., VA. However, since her parents were
supposedly born about 1759, that birth date may not be correct. She died in Abbeville District,
SC. She married John Davenport
about 1778 (or 1789) in Louisa Co., VA.
He was born about 1748 in Spotsylvania Co., VA. (R‑477)

Joseph
Pettus (151) was born 6 June 1773 in VA, and died 2 Jan. 1853. He married his first cousin, Lucy
Graves (#163), daughter of Rice Graves and Jane Young, on 9 Feb. 1784 in
Spotsylvania Co., VA. (These dates
don't look correct, since Joseph would have only been 11 years of age in
1784. The Pettus Family says Lucy was a daughter of Richard Graves (#18),
and married in 1796. Either the
1784 marriage date is wrong or the parentage is wrong. Although Richard Graves is not known to
have had a daughter named Lucy, it is a possibility.) They moved to Crab Orchard, Lincoln Co., KY in 1804. Joseph, Lucy, and Nancy were recorded
on the 1850 census in Lincoln Co., KY.

Louisa
Maria Pettus (152) was born 15 Sept. 1780 in Louisa Co., VA, and died 12 Sept.
1870 in Shipman, Macoupin Co., IL.
She married Aaron Arnold on 13 Dec. 1803 in Louisa Co., VA. He was born 24 May 1778 in Spotsylvania
Co., VA, and died 16 July 1844 in Trenton, Todd Co., KY. They went to Christian Co., KY, and
later to Illinois because they didn't approve of slavery. Their first four children were born in
Pottsville, Louisa Co., VA and the last three in Todd Co., KY. Louisa was recorded on the 1850 and
1860 censuses in Macoupin Co., IL.

CHILDREN OF RICE GRAVES (20) AND JANE YOUNG
Capt.
John Graves (155) may have been born in 1766, and died in 1843 in Louisa Co.,
VA. He left a will there. He married Mary Ragland, daughter of
William Ragland and Agnes ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 24
Aug. 1795 in Louisa Co., VA. He
lived in Ellisville, Louisa Co., VA.
He served in the militia in the Rev. War, and received a pension of $40
per month.
John was
the only son of Rice and Jane Graves to remain in Louisa Co. In his will (Louisa Rec. W.B. 11, p.
33) he leaves to his daughter Elizabeth, wife of John Poindexter, of Christian
Co., KY, ... and land gifts to his grandson John Poindexter, Jr. and grandson
Richard M. Graves, son of John R., also to Richard a prize "given to me by
the Fredericksburg Agricultural Society with a stallion engraved on it,
together with my money scales". (In 1936 this prize given to John Graves
was in the possession of a descendant, Mr. John Payton McGuire, 1510 Grove
Ave., Richmond, VA.) (R‑910,
R‑930)

Thomas
Graves (156) was born Oct. 1763 in Louisa Co., VA, died in May 1847 at the home
of F. V. Winfrey in Cumberland Co., KY, and was buried in the family cemetery,
Cumberland River, KY below Well’s Island, KY. F. V. Winfrey is probably Francis H. Winfrey, the husband of
his daughter Catherine. He moved to
KY, probably Fayette Co., in 1783.
He first married Mary Chilton, daughter of Thomas Chilton and Ann Bayne
Owsley, on 25 Aug. 1785 in Lincoln Co., KY. She was born about 1765 in Loudon Co., VA, and died about
1842 in Cumberland Co., KY. Mary
Chilton was a half sister of Lydia Ann Williams, who married Thomas’s brother
William Graves.
He
married second Marley Pleasant (Bowman) Walthall, daughter of Pleasant Bowman
and widow of William A. Walthall, on 19 Oct. 1842 in Cumberland Co., KY. She was born about 1804 in VA, and died
after 1860. There were no children
by Thomas's second marriage.
Thomas Graves enlisted in the Revolutionary War in 1780 under Capt.
Phillips and Capt. Yancy and served to the end of the war. See his pension record.
In the
following list of children there are two Elizabeths. It seems unlikely that this is correct. It is more likely that one of them is
not a child of Thomas Graves, or was not named Elizabeth. (R‑262, R‑910)

Benjamin
Taylor Graves (157) was born about 1765 in Louisa Co., VA, and died about 1846
in Midway, Woodford Co., KY. He
married Sallie Cole of Virginia, daughter of Richard Cole and Ann Hubbard. She was born about 1765 in VA, and died
in 183- in Midway, KY.
Richard
Cole (b. 1729, d. 1814) was from Culpeper Co., VA, and was a son of John and
Susanna Cole. In 1782, Richard
Cole moved to Woodford Co. and eventually settled at what is now Midway, KY. Located on the old Frankfort and
Lexington Road, he was the proprietor of the Black Horse Tavern. The tavern was continued by his son,
Richard, Jr., and was a stopping place for historical figures of the day such
as Henry Clay. Richard Cole, Jr.
was a greatgrandfather of Frank and Jesse James.
Probably
all the children of Benjamin and Sallie were born in Woodford Co., KY, or in
that part of Fayette Co. which became Woodford in 1788. (R‑105)

VA marriage records, Elizabeth Tate married Enos Tate on 13 July 1772 in Louisa
Co., VA[28],
and Elizabeth Graves married Uriah Tate on 12 Oct. 1772 in Louisa Co., VA[29]. They may be the same person, but no
definitive proof has been presented.
Uriah Tate was born about 1746 in VA, and died about 1803 in Louisa Co.,
VA. According to Louisa Co., VA

Nancy Proctor,
Mary Ann and Williamson Mullins are buried in the old Drakes Camp Creek
Churchyard. What happened to the
old church is lost at present in antiquity, but a new church was built on the
road. This church burned and a
modern church building was built in 1950.
It is known today as Drakes Creek Baptist Church.
On a
trace going north from Crab Orchard, KY was the site of Lewis Craig's church
located on Gilbert's Creek in 1781.
This is said to be the first church in KY. The site is now in Garrard Co. On this trace is a village called Preacherville, which has
the distinction of being the only town of that name in the U.S. This section of KY was the destination
of many preachers who visited the territory in pioneer days. Lewis Craig's people were what was
known as "The Traveling Church". His entire congregation in Virginia moved with him to
Kentucky. (R‑21, R‑114)

CHILDREN OF DAVID GRAVES (21) AND AGNES HOLLOWAY
Edmund
Graves (166) was born about 1762 in Surry Co., NC, and died 12 July 1834 in
Shelby Co., KY. In 1785, Edmund
moved with his father to Shelby Co., where he lived until his death. He was married twice. He first married Nancy (or Jane) ‑‑‑‑‑‑. In The
Kentucky Gazette, Vol. X, No. 491, dated 25 Jan. 1797 was the following
article: “Whereas my wife Nancy
Graves, has eloped from my bed and board without just cause, this is therefore
to forwarn all persons from crediting her on my account, as I am determined to
pay no debts of her contracting.
Signed Emund Graves”. He
married second widow Judith (or Judah) Holloway on 21 Aug. 1823 in Shelby Co.,
KY.
According
to family legend, Edmund was known as Roman, his mother's name was Pendleton,
and he was a descendant of one of three Graves brothers who came to Virginia
from England in the 1600's.
Edmund is
listed in the first tax list of Shelby Co., KY. Jane (apparently Edmund's first wife) and Edmund Graves with
their two children, Betsy and John, are listed in 1811 with 19 charter members
of the Salem (Beech Creek) Baptist Church, which is near Mt. Eden, Ky.
Edmund served
as a private with the North Carolina troops in the Rev. War. He was drafted for two 6-month terms
and volunteered for two 3-month terms.
He fought in an engagement against the British near Charleston, S.C.,
and was in the battles of Camden, Cowan's Ford, and Guilford Court House in
N.C. This was between the years of
1779 and 1781.
One of
Edmund's daughters, Susan Ferguson, applied for his pension for him in New
Castle, KY in 1834, application executed May 10, 1834. In order to qualify, she stated that
"he was born in 1762 in Surry Co., N.C., and was residing there when he
entered the service in March 1779 under the command of Capt Scott, who was
attached to Col. Cleveland's Regiment.
By order of General Nash, they marched to join General Lincoln in
S.C." He further stated that
he lived in Surry until he came to Shelby Co., KY in 1785.
At the
time Susan made application for his pension, they applied to a lawyer, William
I. (or J.) Graves of New Castle, KY. (relationship not known). The daughter stated that Edmund had
married twice and had spent nearly all his property, and to add to this, the
second Mrs. Graves had not used her influence to contribute to the wishes of
the Fergusons. Susan further said
that Edmund was not in his right mind at the time of the application. From the
Pensioners List, Edmund Graves, Private, N.C. Line, was paid $42.00, 27 May
1834, at which time he was listed as 72 years old. Apparently, Edmund died shortly after this, as in July 1834,
the Court House Records of Shelby Co., KY, reveal that the estate of Edmund
Graves was ordered to be settled.
It lists his widow as Judith Graves (Edmund's second wife), and heirs as
David Graves, Richard Graves, William H. Graves, William Ferguson, Joshua
Jennings, William Figg, John Graves, and Ben Figg.
There is
no will on record, but there is a division of land and settlement of personal
property (mentioned above), and a division of slaves and release of the dower
right of Judith Graves.
The
division of slaves is interesting because the slaves were monetarily valued,
then lots were drawn by the heirs and the money was adjusted accordingly.
Daughters names were not mentioned but the names of sons-in-law were
listed. The widow, Judith Graves,
sold her dower right of the slaves to the heirs, which would bind them to pay
to her the legal interest annually on the one-third part of the value of said
slaves. (R‑70, R‑72, R‑301)

Richard
("Dickey") Graves (169) was born about 1768[33]
in Surry Co., NC, and died 13 Sept. 1847 in Howard Co., MO[34]. He married Nellie (or Nelly) Tilley,
daughter of Lazarus Tilley, on 26 (or 20 or 10) Dec. 1797 in Shelby Co.,
KY. She was born about 1780 in KY,
and died after 1860, probably in Howard Co., MO.
There was
some belief that Richard was a son of Edmund Graves (b. 1762), but this seems
very unlikely, considering that Edmund would have been only about 14 years old
when Richard was born. It was also
stated that Edmund gave his consent for Richard's marriage. It appears that both these statements
are referring to Richard's nephew who was also named Richard, and who married
Nancy Holloway.
Richard
was in Shelby Co., KY by 1800, and was listed in both the 1810 and 1820
censuses. In 1820 the listing is:
males, 1(0-10), 1(16-25), 1(45+); females, 1(0-10), 2(10-15), 1(26-44).
In 1818,
Richard sold 51 acres on Guist, and in 1819 and 1820 bought property on
Beech. The family moved to
Missouri in 1824. Richard left a
will in Howard Co., MO naming heirs: wife Nelly Tilley Graves, and the nine
children listed below. The first 8
children were born in Shelby Co., KY, and the last one in Howard Co., MO. (R‑70, R‑301)

("Suky") Graves (170) was born about 10 May 1780[35]
in NC, died 19 Sept. 1851, and was buried in Cloverdale Cem., Cloverdale,
Putnam Co., IN. She married Thomas
E. Martin on 22 (or 28) Aug. 1801 in Shelby Co., KY. He was born about 1774-79 in NC, died about 1837, and was
also buried in Cloverdale Cem.
They
moved to Indiana, Owen or Putnam Co., about 1827, probably from Breckinridge Co.,
KY, or another nearby county. They
moved with the Sinclair family; two Martin daughters married two Sinclair sons
in Putnam Co., IN. Thomas was
postmaster of Cloverdale, Putnam Co., IN.
He is said to have fought under Gen. Harrison, 1810-12. (R‑193, R‑301, R‑457)

Samuel
Graves (171) was born 10 July 1791, died 7 March 1840, and was buried in Salem
Baptist Church Cem., Shelby Co., KY.
He married Priscilla Hedden (or Heddon) on 11 Jan. 1813 (or 8 Jan. 1814)
in Shelby Co., KY.
In the
1820 census for Shelby Co., KY his age is listed as 26-44. The rest of the family is listed:
males, 3(0-10), 1(16-18), 1(16-25); females, 2(10-16), 1(26-44). Considering the age of the older males
in the family, Samuel might have had some of his younger brothers with him at
that time.
The 1830
Shelby Co., Ky. census shows Samuel as 30-40 years, and the others as: males, 2
males, 0-5, 2 males, 5-10, 2 males, 10-15, 1 male, 15-20; 2 females, 10-15, 1
female, 30-40.
Samuel
bought land, as recorded in the grantor records of Shelby Co., from 1824 to
1840, on Jephta, Beech, 6 mile, and Guist. He was living most of the time in the same area as the rest
of the Graves family. He also
witnessed the release of Judith Graves' (widow of Edmund Graves) dower right in
1834.
Samuel
died in March 1840 and the 1840 Shelby Co. census listed Priscilla, age 40-50,
as head of the household. There
were still six children at home: 1 male, 10-15, 2 males, 15-20, 2 males, 20-30;
1 female, 20-30.
By 1850,
Priscilla had moved to Spencer Co., KY.
She was 62 years of age, and with her were three sons and a grandson:
Edmund, age 33, David S., age 24, Thomas W., age 23, and William Clayton
(grandson), age 10.
Samuel's
will was written in 1834 and mentions Edmund as his oldest son, Jacob, Francis
Clayton (daughter), and Elizabeth Stearn (daughter), as his children of age.
Samuel probably had 7 sons and 4 daughters. The approximate dates of birth are from the I.G.I. (R‑70)

CHILDREN OF ROBERT GRAVES (24)
Lewis
Graves (193) was born 17 July 1760 in Spotsylvania Co., VA (according to his
Revolutionary War pension application R4207), and died in 1839 in Newton Co.,
GA (pension application statement by grandson John Sholars). The records cited
in the following paragraphs show that he lived in Chesterfield Co. (Cheraw
District), SC and Anson Co., NC before enlisting in 1776. He apparently lived in Wilkes Co. and
Washington Co., GA about 1782-1786, was in Anson Co., NC, 1786-1791, and was in
Washington Co. (later Hancock Co.), GA, 1791-1809. He moved to Jasper Co., GA in 1809, and to Newton Co., GA in
1823. There is a Lewis Graves
recorded on the 1790 and 1800 censuses in Laurens Co., SC, the 1820 census in
Monticello, Jasper Co., GA, and the 1830 census in Newton Co., GA. In 1830, one male and one female ages
70-79 were recorded in this household.
He
married Ann (or Amy) Worthen (or Worthy or Worthington) in 1781, about the
close of the Rev. War. A wife Amy
signed a Hancock Co. deed in 1808.
Since Lewis was closely associated with a William and Richard Worthan in
NC, and later in GA, the last name of his wife may have been Worthan. The 1800 NC census shows the surnames
Worthy, Worthington, Wortham (the most common form), and Wartham, but no
Worthan, Worthen, or other similar spellings. The 1805 Georgia Land Lottery listing shows surnames spelled
Wortham, Worthen (including a Richard and William in Washington Co., GA),
Worthey, and Worthy.
Lewis
entered Revolutionary War service in 1776, while a resident of Chesterfield Co.
(Cheraw District), SC (pension app.).
He lived very close to the state line (pension app. of Richard
Graves). He enlisted for a tour of
duty in 1781 from Wake Co., NC, and moved to Georgia one year after the war
(pension app.).
He was in
Wilkes Co., GA in 1785 (Land Grant FFF, p. 444, 100 acres, Early Records of Georgia, by Davidson, vol. 2, p. 65; 1 poll, 100
acres, Ledbetter's district). He was in Washington Co., GA in 1786. He returned to Anson Co., NC in 1786
(Anson Co. adjoins Chesterfield Co., SC).
Deeds in Anson Co. show that Lewis Graves was there from 1786 to 1791.
Anson Co.
Deed Book H, p. 38: William
Worthan sells 200 acres to Lewis Graves.
Both are listed as of Washington Co., GA. The land was located on Taltons Creek, off Thompson
Creek. William had purchased the
land from Richard Worthan in 1784.
The deed was witnessed by Richard and John Graves, as shown in the copy
below.

John L.
Graves (194) was born about 1763, according to Varney Graves, although the
1820-1840 GA censuses indicate a birth date of 1770-1775. According to History of Chattahoochee County, Georgia, he died 1851 in Fayette
Co., GA. The grave of John Graves,
Revolutionary soldier, was marked by the DAR in Oct. 1933, and is south of Ga.
highway 54, just east of Flint River in Clayton Co., Ga., once Fayette Co., but
originally Henry Co., near Mundy's Mill, in the Ward Cem. John Graves was living with the family
of one of his daughters, Elizabeth ("Betsy") Ward at the time of his
death. It seems very likely that
he died before 1850, since he was not listed in the Ward household in 1850, and
he cannot be found anywhere else in that census.
John
married Rebecca Harris about 1792 in SC.
Rebecca died in their home and was also buried in the Ward Cem. It may be that John had a previous
marriage. Note the birth date of
oldest daughter Mary Jane in 1783 (before the marriage date of 1792) and the
long period of time between her birth and that of Minton about 1795. One of the descendants of Mary Jane
believed the mother of Mary Jane was a Rutland, but wasn’t positive.
John and
his family lived in NC and SC before 1804, and moved to Hancock Co., GA by
1804. The 1850 census gives the
birthplace of John's sons as follows:
David, NC, John Jr., SC, Minton, SC, James, GA. They were in Capt. Thomas' District,
Hancock Co., GA in 1806, along with John's brother Lewis. They moved to Jasper Co. between 1810
and 1818. In 1820, when a treaty
with the Creek Indians was being negotiated, John Graves, Lewis Graves and
John's son David were in Jasper Co., GA.
In the spring of 1821, when this treaty was finalized and Fayette Co.
was formed, lands west of Flint River became available for settlers, and John
Graves, David Graves, and the rest of John's family moved there. Family legend is that this move was
made by loading all the family possessions in an ox cart. All of John's children who had not yet
married, except for Minton, married in Fayette Co.
By
tradition, John Graves and Lewis Graves were brothers. John witnessed an Anson Co., N.C. deed,
William Worthan to Lewis Graves, 15 Oct. 1786. Other evidence of their connection is shown in the following
paragraphs.

Richard
Graves (195) was born 30 Dec. 1765, according to his pension application. He lived in S.C. and N.C., and served
in the Revolution (pension app. S-8598).
Richard declared in the pension application of Lewis Graves that they
served together. Richard signed
the stub indent of Lewis Graves in S.C. (S.C. Archives).
Richard
married Nancy ‑‑‑‑‑‑. (The last name of his wife is not
known.)
The
pension application of Richard Graves states: Resident of Anson Co., N.C. in
1832, and had been for many years.
He entered the service from Chesterfield Co., S.C., and said he lived
very close to the N.C. line at that time.
His father told him he entered the service when he was 15 years, 2
months of age, around 1779 or 1780.
His service was witnessed by Thomas Davis, who also was a witness for
the application of Lewis Graves.
Joel
Gullage, a minister, stated he had known Richard Graves for 48 years, and he
was a faithful member of the church.
Reuben Phillips and James Gordon also stated they were well acquainted
with Richard.
Included
in Richard's pension file is a letter from Levi Adams, attorney, saying a
granddaughter of Richard asked him to write and see whether Richard ever
received a pension. The letter was
dated Sept. 30, 1860, Henderson Co., Tenn.
Richard
Graves was a "messenger" in 1803 from Deep Creek Baptist Church,
Chesterfield Co., S.C.
The
following are the census records for Richard Graves:
1790
Chesterfield Co., S.C.: 1 male,
16+; 1 male, 0-16; 3 females.
1810
Anson Co., N.C.: 2 males, 0-10; 2
males, 10-16; 1 male, 45+; 2 females, 0-10; 1 female, 10-16; 1 female, 16-26; 1
female, 26-45; 4 slaves.
1820
Anson Co., N.C.: 1 male, 16-18; 2
males, 18-26; 1 male, 45+; 1 female, 0-10; 1 female, 10-16; 1 female, 26-45; 13
slaves.
1830
Anson Co., N.C.: 1 male, 0-5; 1
male, 15-20; 1 male, 50-60; 2 females, 0-5; 1 female, 5-10; 1 female, 10-15; 1
female, 20-30; 15 slaves.
Although
there is no proof from these census records of relationship between members of
Richard's household, the following summary is one possible interpretation.
Richard,
b. 1765, d. 1830-1840 wife, b. 1775-1784 (perhaps about 1775), d. 1820-1830
male 1, b. 1785-1790
(perhaps about 1790)
2,
b. 1794-1800

b. 1820-1825

b. 1825-1830

Even if
the last two males and the last three or four females were grandchildren rather
than children of Richard, it seems likely that he had more than the one son,
Lewis, who is presently proven.

John Cleveland (197), called "Devil John", was born in 1760 (or about
1769) in Culpeper Co., VA, and died in 1810 (or 1805) in Tugaloo, near
Jerrett's Bridge, Oconee Co., SC.
He married a widow, Catherine (“Caty”) (Sloan) Montgomery, daughter of
William Sloan and Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 9
June 1781 in Wilkes Co., NC. She
was born about 1769 in Co. Antrim, Ireland, and died 31 July 1841 in Pendleton,
Anderson Co., SC. They died and
their 4 daughters and 2 sons were raised by their grandparents, Ben and Mary
Cleveland, although if Caty didn’t die until 1841, that may not be accurate.
Other
than Mary Graves Cleveland, there is some uncertainty about their
children. One of their daughters
could have been Catherine Cleveland (b.c. 1788) who married General Rush
(perhaps the Thomas Jefferson Rusk or Rush mentioned in connection with John
Cleveland's sister, Mary). (R‑20,

CHILDREN OF THOMAS GRAVES (36)
Elizabeth

in Clark Co., KY. She married
Thomas Wright on 6 Sept. 1788 in Culpeper Co., VA. He was born 19 Sept. 1765 in Staunton, Augusta Co., VA (or
29 Sept. 1765 in Culpeper Co., VA), died 16 Sept. 1852 in Winchester, Clark
Co., KY, and was buried in Winchester City Cem. He was said to have been a captain in the Revolutionary War,
but that seems unlikely since he would have been only ten at the start of the
war and 16 at its conclusion.
Their first 5 children were born in VA, and the last 3 in Clark Co., KY.
After
Elizabeth’s death, Thomas married second Mary Rice about 1807. According to the 1850 census for Clark
Co., KY, she was born about 1780.
She died 18 May 1864 in Clark Co., KY, and was also buried in Winchester
Cem. Some have stated that she was
the Mary Rice who was born 1 Feb. 1776 in Bedford Co., VA, daughter of David
Rice and Mary Blair. Others claim
that person died in 1832 and never married. Children by the second marriage of Thomas Wright, all born
in Clark Co., KY, were Eliza, b.c. 1808, m. Robert W. Smith; Permelia, b.c.
1810, m. Harvey Wilson; William Henry Harrison, b. 21 June 1812, m(1) Sarah Ann

He went
to Kentucky with his father in 1806, and to Warren Co., MO in 1820. He was in the 1810 census for Stoner

William
Graves (256) was born about 1788 in Laurens Co., SC, and died between 1856 and
1860 in Laurens Co., SC. He
married his cousin, Mary ("Polly") Wait, (#382), daughter of John
Wait and Frances Graves. She was
born about 1793 in Laurens Co., SC, and had died by 10 June 1844 according to
the following information.
Litigation dated 10 June 1844 in Laurens Co., SC regarding the dispersal
of lands of John Wait, father of Polly and father-in-law of William,
specifically names his children and states "the testator's daughter
(Polly) who was intermarried with William Graves has also died…Nancy S. Graves,
Elizabeth M. Graves, Joseph F. Graves, and Obed Wait Graves, also William
Graves, Jr., Polly F. Graves, James T. Graves, Philip H. Graves, and Peachy K.
Graves, her children, nine in number, the last five being minors..." The matching of the first 5 children's
names with the census dates may have some errors. This family was recorded on the 1850 census in Laurens Co.,
SC. A Peachy Graves, age 48, was
recorded with this family; it is not known who she is. In William’s will dated 11 Jan. 1854,
only children Elizabeth, Joseph, and William are listed; presumably the other
six children have died. (R‑202)

Graves (257) was born about 1789 in Laurens Co., SC, and died in 1857 in
Illinois. He married Rebecca
Starnes, daughter of Aaron Starnes and Mary Ann ‑‑‑‑‑‑,
about 1810 in Laurens Co., SC. She

and to Illinois in 1851, where they lived the rest of their lives. They belonged to the Baptist

CHILDREN OF WILLIAM GRAVES (40) AND SARAH FISHER
John
Graves (274) was born 19 Aug. 1775, probably in VA, died 16 May 1839 (or 9 Nov.
1838) in Washington Co., KY, and was buried on what is now Jim Powell farm on
Wesley Miller Road, near Mackville, KY..
He first married Margaret Stinnett, daughter of John Stinnett, on 2 Feb.
1795 in Mercer Co., KY. She was
born in Aug. 1775 in Amherst Co., VA, died 20 June 1836 in Washington Co., KY,
and was also buried in the cemetery in what is now Jim Powell farm. After Margaret died, John married
second Delilah (Smith) Bailey. The
children listed below were all named in the will of John Graves in Washington
Co.
It was
previously thought that this John Graves was a son of Leonard Graves of Mercer
Co., KY, who first married Mariah Gordon and married second Sarah Brown, but
that does not appear to be so.
Matilda
Graves and William C. Graves are recorded as being born seven days apart;
apparently one of those dates is incorrect. However, those dates do appear on their tombstones. (R‑224, R‑286)

Co., KY, age 30-40 (b. 1800-1810), with 1 male under 5, 1 male 5-10, 1 female
under 5, 1 female 10-15, 1 female 15-20, and 1 female 20-30 (perhaps his
wife). In 1840 he was living next

William
Graves, Jr. (276) was born about 1781 in Washington Co., KY, and died 24 Dec.
1850 (or in 1852). He married
Elizabeth (“Betsy”) Sweeney, daughter of Moses Sweeney (b. 1734 (near Belfast,
Antrim, Ireland), d. 27 June 1813 (Lincoln Co., KY) and Elizabeth Johnson (d.
1832), on 4 Aug. 1805 in Lincoln Co., KY.
Moses Sweeney was the witness.
Betsy was born about 1785 in Amherst Co., VA and died in Washington Co.,
KY, probably 18 June 1843. In
settlement of Elizabeth Sweeney's estate, a William Graves helped. William Graves also signed a receipt in
settlement of Moses Sweeney's estate, 4 Feb. 1815, Lincoln Co., Ky.
According
to Lincoln Co. Marriages & Tombstone
Inscriptions, by S. Dunn, 1780-1850, Old Drake Cem.: William Graves, 30
Jan. 1768-14 Dec. 1852, a soldier under Anthony Wayne.
According
to Virginia Genealogist, p. 120, Henry
Co. Wills: Will of William Graves of Henry Co., dated 12 May 1790, To my son
William Graves at his mother's death one Negro. Lists other children and is by William Graves, Sr.
According
to some people (R‑541, R‑542), William Graves married Peggy Graham
on 11 July 1812 (or before 1810) in Harrodsburg, Mercer Co., KY, and had
daughter Sydney (Lyseney) Graves, b. 20 Aug. 1809 (or 1810) in Mercer Co., KY,
and married Michael Yankee (or Yankey) on 4 June 1827 in Mercer Co., KY. This seems to be in conflict with some
of the other information presented here, and it is not known which is
correct. It appears that there may
be two different men named William Graves who married different wives in
different counties, but that is not clear. (R‑225, R‑562)

CHILDREN OF JAMES F. GRAVES (43)
William
(or Williamson) Graves (297) was born about 1785, supposedly near olod
Richmond, VA, and died about 1843 in Rockcastle Co., KY. The place of his birth and the date of
his death are according to his youngest daughter Martha, who left some notes in
the family Bible. He served in the
War of 1812 in Byrne’s Regiment, Virginia Militia as a private. His name has been given in records both
as William and as Williamson.
Williamson
married Sarah Evans[42] in KY,
either Garrard or Madison Co. No
record of the marriage has been found.
She was born 15 April 1804 in VA[43],
was taken sick with paralysis 5 May 1853, and died 26 June 1867. She was a daughter of Edward Evans and ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Vaughn of Lancaster, Garrard Co., KY.
Sarah's
daughter Martha wrote in the family Bible: "It was 1853 that my dear ma
was taken sick with paralysis and lived til 1867, 26 day of June, 45 years ago
today and my heart overflows with grief to think of her. I wonder if my children will think of
me when I have been gone 45 years."
"April 5, 1914 - 61 years today my dear Mother was stricken with
paralysis and never spoke a word for four weeks. I was 15 the Dec. before and I thought I could not live if
ma died. I loved her better than
all else on earth. She was the
best mother ever lived. My father
died when I was 6 and ma raised us alone.
Never would let us tease her about remarrying. She was so good..."
They
lived in Rockcastle Co., KY in 1810, and in Madison Co., KY until about
1841. Williamson is believed to
have died shortly after they moved.

Edmund
Pendleton Graves (388) was born 25 Jan. 1824 in Fayette Co., KY, and died 23
Jan. 1905 in Whites Creek, Davidson Co., TN. He married Helen Clarissa Streck, daughter of Ferdinand
Moritz Streck (b. 1792 (Danzig, Prussia), d. 1854 (LA) and Elizabeth Gingery
(b. 1791 (PA), d. 1862 (LA), on 14 June 1845 in Ascension Parish, LA. She was born 20 Feb. 1822 in Ascension
Parish, LA, and died 13 Dec. 1918 in Whites Creek, TN. They were buried in Mt. Olivet Cem.,
Nashville, TN. He was a farmer,
and she was a homemaker and seamstress.
Edmund’s
mother, Ann B. White Graves, died 1830 in Montgomery Co., KY. The will of John White, Ann’s father,
mentions that Hawes Graves owed him a sum of money, and that the children of
Hawes and Ann were not to receive their inheritance from him until payment of
that debt. Sometime after Ann’s
death, Hawes moved to Davidson Co., TN, and had William B. Ewing appointed
trustee for his children Edmund and Louisa. It is possible that Hawes was unable to pay the debt he owed
to John White, and this may have been his motive for moving to Tennessee. He appears in the 1850 census, age 68,
living in the household of William and Martha G. Ewing. Since their sister Martha was married
to Ewing, it is likely that Edmund and Louisa were raised in that
household. After coming of age,
Edmund received the money due him from his trustee Ewing, and shortly
thereafter he married Helen Streck.
Helen’s
aunt was Catherine Gingry Stump.
Evidently Helen spent a lot of time with aunt Catherine in
Tennessee. Catherine had married
Frederick Stump when he was 93 and she was 27. She obviously had no children. He left her well off financially. To keep Helen and Edmund in White’s Creek once they married,
she gave them 200 acres and $4000.
They built the Graves/Thompson house around 1855.
Edmund
and Helen were in the 1880 census for Dist. 24, Davidson Co., TN, page 355B,
with children John H., Ferdinand S., Frederick, and Bettie, all single and all
born in TN. The birth information for
the children was recorded in the family bible. Edmund was a farmer.

CHILDREN OF MARY GRAVES (68) AND LEWIS PARTLOW
John
Graves Partlow (395) was born 17 Feb. 1793 in Spotsylvania Co., Va., died 19
Jan. 1870 in Lee Co., Miss., and was buried in Center Hill Cem., Lee Co. The name of his first wife is not
known. She may possibly have been
a Graves.
He
married second Malinda (or Melinda) Grimes of Ky. on 3 Oct. 1822 in Fayette
Co., Ky. She was born 20 Dec.
1802, possibly in Fayette Co., Ky., died 9 Feb. 1867 in Lee Co., Miss., and was
also buried in Center Hill Cem., Lee Co.
Melinda was a daughter of James Grimes and wife Sarah Bryan,
granddaughter of Philip Grimes and wife Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑,
and of William Bryan and wife Mary Boone (sister of Daniel Boone).
They
moved to Lawrence Co., Ala. (near Courland) about 1823, and remained there
until 1857, when they moved to Itawamba Co., Miss. (a part that is now in Lee
Co., Miss.). They transferred from
Liberty Baptist Church, Lawrence Co., Ala. to Center Hill Baptist Church,
Itawamba Co., now Lee Co., Miss. in Feb. 1858
According
to descendant Thomas Wayne Whitehead, all living descendants of John Graves
Partlow and Melinda Grimes are descended from Albert M. Partlow and Dorotha Ann
Ruff, although this statement probably just refers to descendants named
Partlow.
Their
children were born in Lawrence Co., AL.

Hon.
Calvin Graves (564) was born 3 Jan. 1804 in Caswell Co., NC, and died 11 Feb.
1877. He first married Elizabeth
Lea of Caswell Co., NC, daughter of John C. Lea, on 2 June 1830 in Caswell Co.,
NC. She was born 28 Aug. 1804 in
NC, and died 13 June 1858. They
were buried in Trinity Baptist Church Cem. (old), Caswell Co., NC. He married second Mary (Wilson) Lea of
Petersburg, VA, on 4 Feb. 1859.
She was the widow of William Lea who died in 1856. She died 22 March 1892.
His
biographer says, "When eminent abilities, valuable public services, an
unblemished political integrity, and a stern private virtue contribute to adorn
the character of an individual, then it is most proper to set it forth
prominently as an example to those who would make themselves useful to their
fellow men." Hon. Calvin
Graves was preeminently a man of sterling worth and ability, well educated,
thoroughly equipped as a lawyer, a wise counselor and statesman. He served his state in the
Constitutional Convention of 1835, as a member of the House of Commons in 1840,
as Speaker of the House in 1842, as a member of the State Senate in 1846 and
1848, and on the Board of Internal Improvements in 1849 and 1850. He was without personal ambition and
declined more prominent positions than he accepted, preferring to be a useful
rather than a conspicuous citizen.
He gained for himself, by a conscientious discharge of every duty, the
confidence and esteem of everyone who knew him. (R‑915)

Frances
Lea Graves (565) was born 2 Sept. 1807 in Caswell Co., NC, and died 7 Oct.
1829. She married Josiah Thomas
Settle, son of David Settle and Rhoda Mullins, on 8 June 1826 in Caswell Co.,
NC. He was born 24 Aug. 1799 in
Rockingham Co., NC, died 13 May 1869 in Hamilton, Butler Co., OH, and was
buried in Greenwood Cem., Hamilton, OH.
After Frances died, Josiah became
involved with Nancy Graves (one of his slaves), started having children with
her, moved from Rockingham, NC to Mississippi, then to Ohio. They finally
married in 1858. Josiah and Nancy
continued their journey and settled in Tishomingo Co., Mississippi. Josiah
purchased land Oct. 7, 1850 from Samuel & Fatinea Flake in Sec. 12 Twp. --,
Range 6, where in 1853 their youngest daughter Josephine was born. Josiah being devoted to his children
and their mother, he manumitted them several years after arriving in
Mississippi. After being informed that the laws of the State forbade free
Negroes residing therein, Settle left in March 1856 for Hamilton, Ohio, where
he relocated and purchased a home for them. He spent summer vacations with his family in Ohio and
maintained his Southern plantation the latter part of the year. Josiah sold his last parcel of land in
Corinth, Mississippi to C. P. Polk.
(All land records were destroyed when the Court House burnt in Luka,
Tishomingo Co. several years ago and the only records to be found were in
Corinth, Alcorn Co., Mississippi so he could have sold land later). We know that his will was written in
the fall of 1860 in Tishomingo Co., Mississippi. Another problem arose concerning his relations with his
slave family. His northern
neighbor informed him that he had to discontinue the relations with the neighbor's
family unless he married the mother.
He immediately replied: "That is what I have always desired to
do." In 1858 his slave
mistress, Nancy, became his lawful wife in a ceremony witnessed by their
children, who became his legitimate heirs. The advent of the Civil War in 1861 brought Settle northward
where he remained until he died in 1869.
At no time do you find Nancy and Josiah living in the same house; Nancy
lived with the younger children and Josiah lived with the older children. On June 8, 1860 Nancy was living next
door to Josiah in Hanover Twp., Butler Co., OH. After Josiah died, Nancy was recorded on the 1870 census,
dated July 19, 1870, in Fourth Ward, Hamilton, Ohio and on the 1880 census,
dated June 9, 1880, in Hanover Twp., Butler Co., OH. In 1883, she lived at 510 S. 9th St., Richmond, Indiana.

("Polly") Pettus (#754), a second cousin, on 14 Jan. 1813 in

Davenport of the Union Army. There

to Mrs. Mallinckrodt, Bettie (Smoot) Graves has a very interesting
ancestry. It was one of her family
connections who helped J. J. Audubon out financially when he was turned down as
a poor risk by banks. They had
been friends since childhood. To
show his appreciation, Audubon did a portrait of "his friend" and it
now hangs in the home of Mrs. Robert Cooke of Clarksville, Tenn. (R‑9,, R‑274, R‑915)
