Rev. 6 March 2016, Gen. 169
1608 Settler of Jamestown, Virginia,
and His Descendants (ca. 1580-2016)
This genealogy is gradually being revised as a result of the findings of the Graves/Greaves DNA Study. In this version, one section that is not descended from Capt. Thomas Graves has been removed and put in a separate genealogy (gen. 145, John Graves of Halifax Co., VA). Another portion of the genealogy has been shown to be descended from Thomas2 Graves rather than from Francis2 Graves, and has been moved as a result of that finding.
Francis Graves, long believed to be the youngest son of Capt. Thomas Graves, has now been shown by DNA analysis to not be his son. Therefore, Francis and all his descendants have been removed and put in a separate genealogy (gen. 220).
Two other branches of the family have been shown to not be descended from Capt. Thomas Graves and have been put in separate genealogies (gen. 152, Thomas Graves of Lunenburg Co. & Mecklenburg Co., VA, and gen. 94, Thomas Sims Graves of Culpeper Co., VA and Fayette Co. & Nelson Co., KY).
Most recently, the descendants of John Graves (born about 1665), previously thought to be a son of John2, Thomas3 (#10), have been removed from this genealogy. As discussed in genealogy 270 for that family, it has been shown by DNA testing and by the will of descendant Solomon Graves that genealogy 270 was not related to Capt. Thomas Graves but was descended from a Greaves family of Northamptonshire, England, arriving in Virginia probably about 1700 or in the late 1600's.
In addition, the connections for several genealogies have been shown by DNA analysis and have been added to this genealogy. Some of these results can be seen in the master table of DNA results. Other changes will be made as further evidence is obtained.
Thomas Graves (1), gentleman, arrived in Virginia in October of 1608, coming from England in the ship "Mary and Margaret" with Captain Christopher Newport's second supply. Although John Card Graves (R‑915) states that Thomas was accompanied by his wife Katherine, sons John and Thomas, and eight others, including Henry Singleton and Thomas Edge, most other historians agree that he did not bring his wife and children over until later. It is likely that he did not even marry Katherine until 1610, and his first child was born about 1611.
Thomas Graves was one of the original Adventurers (stockholders) of the Virginia Company of London, and one of the very early Planters (settlers) who founded Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in North America. He was also the first known person named Graves in North America. Captain Thomas Graves is listed as one of the original Adventurers as "Thomas Grave" on page 364, Records of the Virginia Company of London, vol. IV. Although the Records of the Virginia Company state that in 1622 was granted "a patent to Thomas Graves of Doublin in the Realm of Ireland, gent.", this may be a clerical error. As stated in the original charter of the Virginia Co. of London, the first Adventurers to Virginia were to be from the city of London.
King James I of England, on April 10, 1606, granted letters patent (charter) to Sir Thomas Gates, Sir George Somers, Richard Hakluyt, Edward-Maria Winfield, Thomas Hanham, Raleigh Gilbert, William Parker, and George Popham, in whose names the petition for the charter to the Virginia Company of London had been made, for the founding of two colonies in Virginia.
In 1606 the name Virginia designated the North American coast north of Spanish Florida. The First Colony was to "begin their first plantation and place of their first sojourning and dwelling in any place along the aforesaid coast of Virginia or America where they thought it suitable and convenient, between the aforesaid thirty-four and forty-one degrees of the aforesaid latitude." The Second Colony was to locate at some point between thirty-eight degrees and forty-five degrees of northern latitude. (Rec. Va. Co., vol. IV, p. 368)
The First Colony (consisting of knights, gentlemen, merchants and others of the city of London) made a settlement at Jamestown on May 13, 1607, which became permanent. The Plymouth grantees (from the English cities of Bristol and Exeter, the town of Plymouth, and other places) established the Second Colony at Sagadagic (on the coast of what became Maine) in August 1607, but abandoned it in the spring of 1608.
On May 13, 1607, Captain Christopher Newport's fleet of three small ships, the Susan Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery, with 105 colonists, reached the site of this first permanent English settlement, and called it James Towne. Captain Newport returned to Jamestown on Jan. 8, 1608 with the first supply in the John and Francis. The Phoenix, commanded by Captain Francis Nelson, which had sailed as part of the first supply, finally arrived on 20 April 1608. More than half the settlers died that first winter.
Captain Newport sailed again for England and arrived at Blackwell May 21, 1608. Capt. Nelson returned to England in the Phoenix early in July 1608, with requests from Virginia to be sent by the second supply. Capt. Newport left England in the Mary and Margaret, a ship of about 150 tons, with the second supply, probably in August of 1608. Many sources give the arrival date of this second supply as being early in October 1608. We do know that it was after Sept. 10, 1608.
A comparatively complete record, with the names, of the little band of first planters who came in 1607 and the two supplies of 1608 is given by Captain John Smith in his Historie. These three expeditions brought a total of about 295 people -- the first settlers numbering about 105, the first supply 120, and the second supply about 70. Of the whole number, 92 are described as "gentlemen."
Regarding the title of "Captain" which is attached to Thomas Graves in Virginia historical records, he had no such designation in the Charter of 1609 wherein all the Adventurers (stockholders) of the Virginia Company are listed, and is shown by Captain John Smith on his arrival in Virginia simply as "Thomas Graves, Gent." Thus it appears that he acquired the title of Captain after arriving in Virginia.
Thomas Graves early became active in the affairs of the infant colony. On an exploring expedition he was captured by the Indians and taken to Opechancanough. Thomas Savage, who had come to Virginia with the first supply on the John and Francis in 1608, was sent to rescue him, in which he was successful.
The winter of 1608-09 was much better than the previous winter, but soon after Capt. John Smith returned to England for medical treatment in October 1609, the "Starving Time" reduced the population of about 500 to no more than sixty men, women, and children. In June of 1610, the survivors were in the process of abandoning the settlement, when Lord Delaware arrived as governor of the colony. From that time on, there was apparently no further serious thought of abandoning the town. However, even by 1616, the colony had a total population of only 351, of whom 81 were farmers or tenants.
In 1617 the Virginia Company, hoping to expand population and agricultural production in the colony, encouraged private or voluntary associations organized on a joint stock basis to establish settlements in the area of the Company's patent. The Society of Smith's (or Smythe's) Hundred (later called Southampton Hundred) was organized in 1617. In addition to Captain Thomas Graves, the Adventurers included Sir Thomas Smith, Sir Edwin Sandys, and the Earl of Southampton. Soon after April 29, 1619, Governor Yeardley wrote to Sir Edwin Sandys: "I have entreated Capt. Graves, an antient officer of this company, to take charge of the people and workes."
Capt. Thomas Graves was a member of the First Legislative Assembly in America, and, with Mr. Walter Shelley, sat for Smythe's Hundred when they met at Jamestown on July 30, 1619. The time of Capt. Thomas Graves' removal to the Eastern Shore is not known. It was, however, after August 1619, since he was then a representative from Smythe's Hundred to the first meeting of the House of Burgesses. It was also prior to Feb. 16, 1623, for "A List of Names: of the Living in Virginia, Feb. 16, 1623" shows Thomas Graves "at the Eastern Shore". His patent for 200 acres on the Eastern Shore is of record 14 March 1628 (Patent Book No. 1, p. 72, Land Registrar's Office, Richmond, Va.). This land was in what was then known as Accomack, now a part of Northampton Co. It was granted by Dr. Thomas Pott, Governor of Virginia, and was on the eastern side of the Bay of Chesapeake, westerly of the lands of Capt. Henry Flute, an explorer of the Bay, "by virtue of the adventure of five and twenty pounds paid by the said Capt. Thomas Graves to Sir Thomas Smyth, Treasurer of the Virginia Company." He paid a "quit rent" of one shilling for fifty acres, payable at the feast of St. Michael the Archangel (Sept. 29) each year on a part of his land.
In the census of February 1625, Capt. Thomas Graves was one of only 51 people then living on the Eastern Shore. He was put in charge of the direction of local affairs later in 1625. In Sept. 1632 he, with others, was appointed a Commissioner "for the Plantacon of Acchawmacke". He was one of the Burgesses to the Assembly, representing Accomack, for the 1629-30 session and the 1632 session. He attended many of the meetings of the Commissioners, but he was absent from Dec. 30, 1632/3 until Oct. 23, 1633/4. It appears that he was out of the country.
The old Hungars Episcopal Church is located about seven miles north of Eastville, on the north side of Hungars Creek. Hungars Parish was made soon after the county was established, and the first minister was Rev. Francis Bolton, who was succeeded by Rev. William Cotton. The first vestry was appointed in 1635. The first vestry meeting was on Sept. 29, 1635, at which Capt. Thomas Graves headed the list of those present. The first church edifice was erected in 1690-95 and was still standing around 1900, one of the oldest churches in the country. In addition to Capt. Thomas Graves, the other persons named by the court as vestrymen of Hungars Church were William Cotton, minister, Obedience Robins, John Howe, William Stone (first Protestant Governor of Maryland), William Burdett, William Andrews, John Wilkins, Alexander Mountray, Edward Drews, William Beniman and Stephen Charlton.
Captain Thomas Graves died between November 1635 when he was witness to a deed and 5 Jan. 1636 when suit was entered against a servant to Mrs. Graves (Adventurers of Purse and Person, pp. 188-189). His birth date is not known, but is believed to be about 1580. That would have made him only about 55 years of age at his death.
Very little is known about Katherine, wife of Capt. Thomas Graves. Her maiden name may have been Croshaw. (There was a Raleigh Chroshaw, Gent., who arrived with the second supply with Thomas Graves.) Just when she came to Virginia is not recorded. She and her children are not included in the 1625 census of the Eastern Shore, although Capt. Thomas Graves is. The patent granted to John Graves (son of Capt. Thomas Graves) on Aug. 9, 1637 states that the 600 acres granted to him in Elizabeth City was "due in right of descent from his father Thomas Graves, who transported at his own cost himself, Katherine Graves his wife, John Graves the patentee, and Thomas Graves, Jr., and 8 persons." (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Nugent.) The 50 acres assigned for each person transported shows they came after 1616. The other 8 persons transported did not include any members of Capt. Graves' family. The girls, Ann, Verlinda, and Katherine obviously came later, and Francis was born in Virginia. The last reference to Mrs. Graves shows her living at the Old Plantation, Accomack, as of May 20, 1636.
Since Captain Thomas Graves had been active in the affairs of Virginia from his arrival, the absence of any mention of him during certain periods indicate he had returned to England. This is also confirmed by patents issued to him and to others in which he is mentioned. Mrs. Hiden stated: "Even a cursory reading of Northampton (formerly Accomack) records reveals how frequent were the trips to England, Ireland, Holland, and New England" of those living on the Eastern Shore. Mrs. Hiden also stated (R‑909, p. 34): "We know from the land patents that Capt. Thomas Graves made several trips out of the country, to England presumably, and on one of his return voyages his family accompanied him."
Thomas Graves was probably unmarried when he arrived in Virginia in 1608. He was young, and adventure was probably the reason for his coming to Virginia. He was obviously educated, of some "social status" and financial means, and a leader.
It is likely that he returned to England, possibly in Oct. 1609, either on the same ship with Captain John Smith (who left Virginia for England for treatment of his wounds resulting from an explosion), or on one of the other seven ships which arrived in Virginia in August 1609. In that way he would have missed the "Starving Time" of the winter of 1609-10, which so few survived.
He may have then married in England in about 1610, fathered John Graves and Thomas Graves, remained in England for several years, and returned to Virginia prior to the formation of Smythe's Hundred in 1617, or possibly a little later. It is known that he was "entreated to take charge of the people and workes" at Smythe's Hundred in April 1619, and was there then.
Also, there is no record of his being in Virginia after the meeting of the Burgesses in July-August of 1619 until he is shown as living on the Eastern Shore in 1623. It seems reasonable that he was in England at the time of the Indian Massacre of March 1622, and upon returning to Virginia settled on the Eastern Shore where it was less perilous to live. The fact that he fathered three children, the first three girls, during this period certainly lends support to his being in England.
One of the most disputed issues regarding his children is the last one, Fra. Graves, who has been believed by some to be a son Francis and by others to be a daughter Frances. This child was originally said by genealogist William Montgomery Sweeny in a published article in 1935 (R‑906) to be a son of Capt. Thomas Graves. This was repeated by Mrs. P. W. Hiden in 1936 (R‑907). However, others provided evidence that the last child of Capt. Thomas Graves was a daughter, and that the male Francis Graves was a son of someone else unknown. After a thorough search and examination of the documentary evidence, it was decided that this last child of Thomas probably was a son, as explained in the Appendix at the end of this book. However, the results of the Graves DNA Study indicate that Francis was a son of another Graves immigrant, and the child of Capt. Thomas Graves was a daughter. Since the documentary evidence is ambiguous and the DNA evidence is conclusive, there is now no question that the youngest child of Capt. Thomas Graves was a daughter. As a result, the male Francis Graves and his descendants have been removed from this genealogy and placed in a separate genealogy 220. (R‑14, R‑901, R‑915)

John Graves (2) was the oldest son of Captain Thomas Graves. In the absence of documentation, Mrs. Hiden estimated his birth in one instance to be "by 1605" and "not later than 1616" in another. Based on all available evidence, it seems likely that he was born about 1611. He was almost certainly born in England, since he did not receive land as an "Ancient Planter." All persons in Virginia prior to 1616 received an additional 50 acres. He was "of age" (age 21 or older) before 19 Feb. 1634/5, for he had sued John Parramore (Accawmacke 1, p. 26), proving he was born at least by 1614, and on that date the Acchawmacke Court's decision was "John Parramore ordered to pay a debt of 100 lb. tobacco to John Graves".
(Note: On p. 48 of Louise Graves' book (R‑901) is a comment that should be taken into consideration, since it indicates the possibility that he was not yet 21 in 1634/5. "It was the custom for the boys in Virginia to be married anywhere from 16 to 21 and the girls from 15 or 16 to 18 years of age. It is sad to relate, but life expectancy and the average age at death was around age 35 in those days, although many lived to be very old, even as in the present. It is noted that in almost all the wills of the period, while the testator's property did not usually come into the control of the male heir until he was 21 years old, yet sometimes the testator would declare that his son was to be considered 'of age' when he reached 16.")
John Graves died intestate in Elizabeth City County, possibly in April 1640. His death was between 29 May 1639, when he patented land, and 30 April 1640, when William Parry was named his administrator and bond was made (Northampton Co., Book 2, p. 281). Capt. Roper, William Cotton and Capt. Stone, brothers-in-law of John Graves and administrators of the estate of Capt. Thomas Graves, were originally appointed administrators of John Graves' estate, but in April 1640 they resigned and William Parry was appointed.
John Graves seems to have been the only one of his name in the county. Because most of the early records were destroyed, very little information is available about him, but land records and patents do reveal some facts.
On 9 Aug. 1637, John Graves patented 600 acres in Elizabeth City County near the upper end of the Back River, "due in right of descent upon his father Thomas Graves who transported at his own costs himself, Katherine Graves, his wife, sons John Graves, the patentee, and Thomas Graves, Jr., and 8 persons, Henry Singleton, Thomas Edge, Robert Phillips, Thomas Griggs, Thomas Phillips, Francis White, William Symber, Jone Packett." This patent is proof that Capt. Thomas Graves did not bring his family until after 1616, for had they come earlier they would all have been "Ancient Planters" and entitled to 100 acres each instead of 50 acres. This patent was near the lands of Capt. Adam Thoroughgood and east of the dwelling of Ohner Van Kirk. In 1638 and 1639 he received additional patents.
The holdings of John Graves were near the York County line and almost directly opposite Hungar's Creek in Northampton Co. (formerly Accawmacke) on the Eastern Shore, where his father had lived and where his sisters were still living at that time.
The wife of John Graves is not known, but John Card Graves stated (R‑915): "He married a daughter of the illustrious Perrin family, large property owners, and prominent in Virginia history." He gave no basis for this statement. (R‑915)

In August 1695, Thomas and Elizabeth Graves witnessed a deed (York Co., Book 1665-1701, p. 26). The Virginia Quit Rent Rolls of 1704 show a Thomas Graves in King William Co. with 100 acres. King William was a new county, having been formed from King and Queen Co. in 1702. It was previously believed that he might have been the father of John Graves, b.c. 1665, but it is now believed that was genealogy 270. (R‑14)

Thomas Graves (3) by some accounts was born about 1617, probably in England. He died about 1675 in Gloucester Co., Va., and left his land to his sons Thomas, Jeffrey and William. He settled in Gloucester Co., Va., and acquired large tracts of land there, part of which was granted in 1657. He patented 53 acres and later 240 acres in Gloucester Co., also 300 acres in Lancaster Co., Va. He was known as "Thomas Graves, Sr. of Timberneck Creek, Gloucester Co., planter." The name of his wife is not known, although it is believed to be Elizabeth (or Katherine). (R‑915)

He was born about 1603 in Lancaster, Lancashire, England (or Somerset, England), and died 21 Dec. 1660 in Charles Co., MD. He was governor of Maryland, the first Protestant governor, Capt. of Colonial Service, and the third Colonial Governor appointed by Lord Baltimore 6 Aug. 1648. After his retirement from public life, he resided on his estate "Poynton Manor." In addition to the 6 children listed below, R‑327 also listed Matthew Stone. (R‑120, R‑141, R‑168, R‑327)

Ann (or Anne) Graves (5) was born about 1620, and died 2 March 1683/4 in Charles Co., Md. Her will was proved 18 July 1683 in Charles Co., Md. She first married Rev. William Cotton, son of Andrew Cotton and Joane ‑‑‑‑‑‑, before 10 July 1637 in Hungar's Parish, Accawmack (or Accomac) Co., Va. He died in 1640. There is a tradition in the family that he was a son of widow Joan Cotton of Bunbury, Cheshire Co., England, and was granted 350 acres of land on the main branches of Hungar's Creek, adjoining the lands of his brother-in-law, Capt. William Stone. This consisted of 100 acres for personal adventure of himself and wife and 250 acres for the transportation of five persons to Virginia, viz. Eleanor Hill, Richard Hill, Edward Eason, and Domingo and Sambo, negroes. William Cotton was succeeded by Rev. John Rozier.
Ann married second Nathaniel Eaton, son of Richard Eaton, about 1641 (by 1642). Nathaniel was assistant to Rev. Rozier, and was previously the first head of Harvard College. He went to Virginia after his dismissal from Harvard. He fled from his creditors in Virginia about 1647, deserting his family, and died in 1674.
Ann married third Francis Doughty, son of Francis Doughtie, on 8 June 1657. He died about 1683. He, like Ann's first two husbands, was Rector of Hungar's Parish. She later went with him to Rappahannock Co., where he was Rector of Sittenbourne and South Farnham Parishes in 1665. (R‑114, R‑915)

Katherine (or Catherine) Graves (6) was born about 1622, and died on or before 1668 at Resurrection Manor, Calvert, Prince George's Co., MD. She first married Lt. (later Capt.) William Roper about 1636. He was also a resident of Accawmack (Northampton Co.) on Virginia's Eastern Shore, and a burgess representing that county. His plantation was on a small neck of land with a waterfront location. Here he carried on a profitable trade. He died about 1650 in VA.
After Capt. Roper's death, Katherine married another neighbor, Lt. Thomas Sprigg, son of Thomas Sprigg and Katherine Griffin, on 3 March 1650/51. They were both living in Northampton Co., VA at the time. Thomas Sprigg was born in 1630 in Kettering, Northamptonshire, England, and died in 1704 at Resurrection Manor, Calvert, Prince George's Co., MD. His will was probated 29 Dec. 1704. After Katherine died, he married Eleanor Nuthall in 1668.
Shortly after Katherine's marriage to Thomas Sprigg, they moved to the new colony of Maryland, where her brother-in-law, William Stone, had gone as governor. Thomas Sprigg's land certificate in Maryland shows that he transported himself, his wife Katherine, Verlinda Roper, Nathaniel Sprigg, and several others. Verlinda Roper was Thomas's young stepdaughter; Nathaniel may have been an infant son -- no other record of him has been found.
Sarah Sprigg is listed by some writers as a daughter of Katherine Sprigg and by some as a daughter of Thomas Sprigg's second wife. In 1670, Thomas Sprigg executed a deed of gift which identified Sarah as his oldest daughter. Sarah was already married and even had a married daughter, Sarah Pearce Beall, who was also mentioned in the deed. When we consider ages and dates, it seems likely that Sarah was from her father's marriage to Katherine Graves Roper. (See Md. Hist. Mag., VIII:75.)
Thomas Sprigg, Jr. is shown as the son of Katherine Sprigg in Adventurers of Purse and Person, Third Edition, pp. 190, 192. His birth date is uncertain, but was probably about 1665. One possibility is that his mother died at or soon after his birth, and he was brought up by his stepmother, Eleanor Nuthall Sprigg.
In Maryland, Katherine and her family settled first in Kent Co., and then across the bay in Calvert Co. (R‑11, R‑116, R‑150)

Ralph Graves (8) was born at least by 1629 (probably about 1625), as he witnessed a deed in 1650 in York Co., VA, and died testate 9 May 1667 in York Co., VA (according to the Bruton Parish Register). He married Rachel Croshaw (or Crosher), daughter of Major Joseph Croshaw, about 1652. Joseph Croshaw was a son of Raleigh Croshaw who arrived in Jamestown in 1608 on the ship "Mary and Margaret" with Capt. Thomas Graves. Ralph Graves made a trip to England in 1652 for his father-in-law, Major Joseph Croshaw.
After Ralph died, his widow married Richard Barnes, and died 20 April 1669. Richard died in Jan. 1674/5. Joseph Croshaw deeded to Ralph and Rachel 2000 acres of land in New Kent Co., VA on 23 Dec. 1654. Joseph was Justice of the Peace in York Co. in 1655, member of the House of Burgesses in 1659-60, and died 10 April 1667. The will of Ralph Graves, dated 5 May 1667, proved 29 July 1667 in York Co., Va., names oldest son Ralph, youngest son William, eldest daughter Anne, youngest daughter Mary, wife Rachel, and uncle Richard Croshaw, executor. In his will, he mentioned that he was in the prime of life, but feeble in body. His will bequeathed his 1000 acre homeplace in York Co. to his wife and then to his son, Ralph Graves, Jr. In 1675, Ralph, Jr. petitioned to be appointed guardian of brother William, denied.

William Graves (9) was born by 1631, since he patented land in York Co., VA in 1652. The name of this wife is not known. He died before 1668 (York Co., Book 4, p. 178), when Rachel Graves, wife or widow of his brother Ralph, appeared on behalf of her son Ralph as next of kin to Ann Graves, daughter of William Graves, deceased. This proves William had no other surviving children, since they would have been Ann's heirs. It also proves that Ralph (#8) was the older brother of William, and Ralph (#35) was the oldest son of Ralph (#8). This follows the English inheritance laws of that time, primogeniture, where the eldest son succeeds to a parent's real estate to the absolute exclusion of the younger sons and daughters. William received a grant of 80 acres in York Co. on 13 Oct. 1656. (R‑14)

40. William Grenther, d. by 7 Sept. 1667.
Thomas Graves (13) was born about 1639. His death date is unknown. He was still living in 1707 when he had lot no. 1 in the new town of Gloucester. He first married Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑ before 1677 (possibly about 1669). They lived in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va.
He and his brother Jeffrey inherited large tracts of land which their father had patented. This land was beyond the head of Timberneck Creek, and between Severn and the Indian Road. As part of their inheritance, they also received a tract of 400 acres in Abingdon Parish on 6 March 1675/6. Thomas had other large grants in Westmoreland and Gloucester counties.
He married second Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑. The christening of all the children listed below was recorded in the records of St. Peter's Church, Abingdon Parish. (R‑915)

The baptisms of all the following children were recorded in the records of St. Peter's Church, Abingdon Parish.

Ralph Graves (35) was born 24 July 1653 (or about 1658) in York Co., Va., and died in 1694 (by Feb. 1694) in York Co. without a will. He married his cousin Unity White, daughter of Henry White of York Co., Va. and Mary Croshaw, and granddaughter of Major Joseph Croshaw. They lived in York Co., VA. After Ralph died, Unity married Thomas Cripps sometime after 25 June 1694. She died about Feb. 1695.
From his uncle, William Graves, Ralph inherited Skimino plantation, land given to his deceased sisters by their father, and also land inherited directly from his father. On 25 June 1694, Unity Graves, with William Jackson and her brother Henry White, secured administration of Ralph Graves' estate by filing a bond for 40,000 lbs. of tobacco.
The inventory of his estate mentions four horses, harness, cart, saddle, etc. It mentions his sons Ralph, Elijah, and Henry White Graves. A daughter Mary is also documented (how?). It is also likely that he had sons Joseph and John. Joseph was the one in the 1704 quit rent rolls of James City Co., and John who had children Susannah and Matthew, both born St. Peter's Parish, New Kent Co., later lived in Goochland Co. (However, according to Mrs. Sue Davis, the inventory of the estate did not list his children.)
In addition to the children listed, there were probably others, including one girl who married a Daniel. All the children were supposedly born in York Co., Va. (R‑179, R‑915)
Children - Graves
+98. Ralph Graves, m(1) Mary Pinkethman, m(2) Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑, d. Feb. 1748/9.

101. Joseph Graves
+102. John Graves, b.c. 1677, m. Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑.
John Graves (41) was christened 1677 in St. Peter's Church, Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va. The most likely death date for John is by 1716, since a Rebecca Graves appears in the Essex Co., Va. estate settlement of Richard Brecknell in 1716 (not as an heir). No other Rebecca is known to fit this circumstance other than the wife of John. The payment to her for some debt indicates she was either single or a widow.
[The death date of 1747 given by John Card Graves is for John's son, John Graves (#104). A death date of 1737 (from Mrs. Ethel Taylor) is from Spotsylvania Co. records, where a John Graves, very ancient, was exempt from taxes in 1737. This was John Graves (genealogy 270).]
John married Rebecca ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She probably survived her husband, as indicated in the first paragraph. The children listed below plus a daughter Elizabeth were named by John Card Graves (R‑915). Charles Hughes Hamlin (The Graves Newsletter, vol. 1, no. 4, pp. 4-6, and vol. 2, no. 1, pp. 2-5) agreed with John Card Graves, except that he did not list Elizabeth. (R‑915)

107. Robert Graves, bapt. 14 Jan. 1717.
108. James Graves, bapt. 4 Oct. 1724. It was previously thought that this might be the James Graves who married Mary Copeland and died in Lincoln Co., Ga. However, there is no known documentation for this, and this has been proven not possible as a result of DNA testing.
Jeffrey Graves (47) was born 24 May 1683. He married Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑. In 1748, his lands in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., Va. adjoined those of Ellis, Robert, and Joseph Coleman. Both of the children listed below were baptized in St. Peter's Church, Abingdon Parish. (R‑915)

(His wife's name is given as Elizabeth in a Chesterfield Co., Va. deed.) They settled in Chesterfield Co., Va. His will, probated Oct. 1756, names his son William and Henry Marshall as executors, and mentions his grandsons Pliny and Arthur. (R‑915)
Children - Graves
+111. William Graves, b. 4 July 1725, m. Sarah Cox, d. 24 Jan. 1776.
Edmund Graves (56) was baptized 4 Jan. 1709. An Edmund Graves appeared in Caroline Co., Va. records in the 1730's as a carpenter. In 1752 a John Graves appeared there and was involved in several lawsuits over the next several years. Although there is no documentation, it has been believed that John was a son of Edmund. Also, descendants had believed that this was the line of Reuben, Esom, etc., of Halifax Co., VA, but DNA testing proved that was not correct and Reuben and Esom were part of the same family as Beverly Graves of Caroline Co., VA, and Archibald Pratt Graves of SC. (R‑14)

Ralph Graves (98) first married Mary Pinkethman, daughter of William Pinkethman. He married second Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He died in Feb. 1748/9.
Ralph increased his holdings by purchasing 825 acres in Charles Parish known as "Boar Quarters"; also three plantations from George Baskerville; and 130 acres from John Hillyard. His will dated Feb. 11, 1748/9, was proved May 15, 1749, and in his will he described himself as "of Bruton Parish." (R‑179, R‑915)

Henry White Graves (99) was born about 1692 in York Co., VA, and died about 1745 (between 1743 and 1746) in Virginia. He first married Mary Jones, probably a daughter of Rice Jones and Elizabeth Croshaw. He married second Mary Williams. She was a daughter of Lieut. Col. John Williams and his wife Mary Keeling of York Co., VA, who later moved to Hanover Co., VA.
According to Delbert Cox, Henry White Graves and family moved to Granville Co., NC, in the 1750's with a relative, Samuel Henderson, and Henry White Graves died in Granville Co. (This seems to contradict the information given above.)
Much of the information about Henry White Graves and his descendants is from Barbara Graves Billings, although she does not make any claims for a first marriage to Mary Jones. For additional information, see The Graves Newsletter, vol. 1, no. 3, pp. 10-16. The information from the John Card Graves manuscripts is very confusing and does not agree with this.
According to Mrs. Hiden (R‑924), "Henry5 Graves of Hanover Co., Va. patented land there in 1731 (S.L.O., Book 13, p. 173). When he sold this land three years later with consent of his wife Mary, it is described as adjoining Major Leigh, John Saunders, Capt. Crawford and other lands of Henry5 Graves (Hanover Rec., 1730-35, p. 128). In 1730 (Goochland D.B. 3, p. 90) John Williams, Sr. of Hanover, had sold to his son, John Williams, Jr., 425 acres on the north side of James River on the branches or meanders of Tuckahoe, part of a patent granted him on Oct. 31, 1716. This was witnessed by Henry5 and Ralph6 Graves. On 10 Sept. 1737, John Williams, who had now moved to Goochland, sold 293 acres more of the same patent to Henry5 Graves of Hanover (ibid, p. 92). In 1743 (Car. O.B., 1741-46, p. 204), John Daniel of the York Co. family and who owned land in Hanover, paid Henry5 Graves 145 lbs. tobacco for one day's attendance at court as a witness for him, coming and going 40 miles. He died between this date and 1746, for in the latter year, Ralph6 Graves appeared as a tithable for Mary Graves (Goochland Loose Papers, Archives Div., VA State Library). He seems to have been married twice, first to a daughter of Rice Jones and Elizabeth Croshaw, probably Mary. By this marriage there was at least one child, Ralph6, born probably about 1710."
In addition to the proven children of Henry5 Graves of Hanover Co., Mrs. Hiden believed he had yet another son whose widow, Elizabeth, was the grantor in the following deed (see p. 264, R‑924).
In Mecklenberg D.B. 2, p. 4, on May 10, 1767, Elizabeth Graves of St. James Parish of said county, for love and affection, bound herself in the penalty of double the amount to give to her son Thomas Graves when he should attain the age of 21 years the sum of 30 pounds current VA money; the witnesses were Henry6 and Elijah6 Graves, whose ancestry was previously discussed. This bond of Elizabeth was probably given preparatory to a second marriage. In 1779 (Lunenburg D.B. 13, p. 206), Andrew Gregory of Mecklenburg for 30 pounds current money sold to Thomas Graves of Lunenburg 100 acres lying on Juniper Creek adjoining Samuel Jordan, Edward Slaughter and Joseph Johnson. In 1798 (ibid, D.B. 18, p. 44), Thomas Graves and Sarah his wife of Mecklenburg and William Townsend and Elizabeth his wife of Lunenburg to Samuel Jordan of Lunenburg for 100 pounds current money convey 100 acres on the branches of Juniper Creek adjoining James Shelbourne, David Wood, Jeremiah Slaughter, Young Slaughter and Edward Slaughter. From the above, it would seem Thomas's mother married second William Townsend and had some rights in this 100 acres, else she would not have joined in the deed. We do not know the date of Thomas's removal to Mecklenburg, but it must have been after 1790, at which time he was residing in Cumberland Parish, Lunenburg Co., with 3 tithables (Sunlight on the Southside, p. 240).

Although Henry White Graves named a daughter Mary in his first marriage, it would not be unusual for him to repeat the name in his second group of children. The statement by Worth Ray in his book about Granville Co., NC that John Christmas married Mary's sister Rachel is not correct.
210. son, m. Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑. This son may have been Barzillia Graves, according to R‑257. He had apparently died by 1767 and Elizabeth probably married again soon after that to William Townsend (see the discussion for his father). A William and Elizabeth Townsend cosigned a deed with Thomas and Sarah Graves. It was previously thought that this unknown son was the father of Thomas Graves, b.c. 1746-66, m(1) Sarah ‑‑‑‑‑‑, m(2) Henrietta Greenwood, 6 March 1828, d. 1838 or 1839. However, DNA analysis of 3 descendants of this Thomas Graves have shown that to be wrong. Thomas Graves was apparently not a descendant of Capt. Thomas Graves of VA. (R‑77, R‑924)
John Graves (102) was born about 1677. He married Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑. Because of the formation of new counties and acquiring new land, records of this family are found in Albemarle, Caroline, Goochland and Spotsylvania counties, VA.
Lucy Adams, wife of John Graves, Jr., and Susannah Adams, wife of Matthew Graves, were sisters and both daughters of Robert Adams and Mourning Lewis of Henrico Co. (later Goochland Co.), VA. (R‑14, R‑45, R‑230)

John Graves (104) was born in 1706 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., VA[1], was baptized 9 March 1706 in Abingdon Parish, and died between 30 March 1747 (date of his will) and 2 June 1747 (date of probate in Spotsylvania Co., VA). He married Susannah Dicken on 22 Nov. 1732. She was probably a daughter of Isaac Dicken. She was born 14 June 1714, and died in 1784 in Culpeper Co., VA. After John died, she married Henry Chiles. Henry had first been married to Mercy Webb.
In an article by Mrs. P. W. Hiden, "The Graves Family of Essex Co.", William & Mary Quarterly, vol. 16, second series, 1936, pages 650-668, she wrote on page 657: "About 1922, the late Gen. John Card Graves, of Buffalo, N.Y., gave the writer dates of birth and marriage of John4 Graves and his wife, Susanna Dicken, with names and dates of birth of their children. This data had been secured for him by the late Mr. R. A. Brock about 1894 and its source was not given. Since, however, these dates have been corroborated by different branches of the family, it is assumed they are from John4 Graves's own Bible and they will be used in this article."
"According to this, John4 Graves, b. in St. George's Par., Spotsylvania Co., Dec. 10, 1712, d. Mar. 30, 1747, married on Nov. 22, 1732, Susanna Dicken, b. June 14, 1714. A patent error is seen in speaking of St. George's Par. some nine years before its creation, but most likely the meaning of the statement is that he was born in St. Ann's from which St. Mary's was formed, St. Mary's including that part of Essex which later lay in Spotsylvania and became St. George's Parish." If the 1712 date were correct, then John would be descended from Thomas1, Francis2, Thomas3, John4. However, in an article by Charles Hughes Hamlin, The Virginia Gazette, Williamsburg, VA, 28 Aug. 1959 and 4 Sept. 1959, Mr. Hamlin disagreed with Mrs. Hiden's conclusions and gave a very reasoned argument for the lineage given here. Mr. Hamlin's article can be seen in the Appendix. In addition, DNA testing has shown that John Graves is not descended from Francis Graves, but has instead confirmed the descent given here.

She married Dr. Gustavus Brown of "Rich Hill", Charles Co., MD, son of Gustavus Brown and Jane Mitchelson, in 1710 in Port Tobacco, Charles Co., MD. He was born 10 April 1689 in Dalkeith, Midlothian, Scotland, and died of apoplexy in April 1762 at "Rich Hill". His will was dated 9 Dec. 1755 and was probated 12 May 1762 in Charles Co., MD. After Frances died, he married Margaret (Black) Boyd, widow of an Irish gentlemen and merchant of Port Tobacco, Md., in 1746-7.

By her he had twelve children of whom one son and seven daughters survive her. She was a daughter of Mr. Gerard Fowke, late of Maryland, and descended from the Fowkes of Gunston Hall, in Staffordshire, England. She was born February the 2nd, 1691, and died much lamented on the 8th of November, 1774, in the fifty-fourth year of her age." (R‑10, R‑114, R‑174)

Margaret Beall (149) was born in 1694 in Prince George's Co., MD, and died after 1755, probably in SC. She first married John Brewer, Jr. After his death, she married second Thomas Odell, son of Thomas Odell and Sarah Ridgely, about 1714 (or 1722?). He was born 7 Jan. 1692/3 at Darnells Grove Plantation, Prince George's Co., MD (or South River Hundred, Anne Arundel Co., MD), and died after 1763 in Newberry District, SC. He and Margaret inherited an estate from the Bealls called "Baldi Christi". Later the family moved to Newberry, SC, where Margaret and Thomas died.
It should be noted that the late Sharon J. Doliante (R‑150) believed that only the last 4 children listed below were those of Margaret and Thomas. An online genealogy titled "The Odell/Odle Family of Maryland, Virginia, Ohio, and Indiana," by Jack E. MacDonald of Powell, Wyoming, dated 2013, he included the following in the Introduction:
"In researching the Odell / Odle family, literally every individual I corresponded with, and every published genealogy I read, indicated that the William Odell / Odle of Baltimore County, Maryland who was married to Elizabeth (Talbot ?), was a descendant of the immigrant, Thomas Odell, through his son, Thomas Odell, Jr. and his wife, Margaret Beall. As a consequence, but without any tangible evidence to support or refute it, I also accepted this relationship as being valid and presented it as such in my Odell / Odle family WEB page.
However, I recently received information about a DNA sample submitted by an individual who claims to trace back to William Odell / Odle and Elizabeth (Talbot ?). I personally rechecked this individuals lineage and was able to substantiate to my satisfaction that it is as they claim. This DNA sample indicates that there is no relationship between the William Odell / Odle who married Elizabeth (Talbot ?) and the Thomas Odell, Jr. and Margaret Beall that most everyone had accepted, including me, as being his parents. Unfortunately, however, only one DNA sample has been submitted from anyone who traces down from this William Odell/Odle.
In looking back, however, I remember a conversation I once had with the late Sharon Doliante, the author of "Maryland and Virginia Colonials," in which she stated that she did not believe this William was the son of Thomas Odell, Jr. and Margaret Beall. In addition, in reading the immigrant, Thomas Odell, Sr's will of 1717, I noticed that he specifically stated in his will: "bott in case my son Thomas Odell dye without issue the land to descend ..." If William Odell / Odle was born in about 1714, as everyone claims, I would think that Thomas, Sr. would know his son Thomas, Jr. had a three year old child when he wrote his will since they were living near each other. The 1717 will, however, suggests that Thomas, Jr. did not have any children as yet. The fact that the name Rignall is used by both Odell lines is suspicious, however, and suggests there may very well be a connection between both lines England.
In light of the above, or until some evidence can be found to substantiate that William truly is the son of Thomas Odell, Jr. and Margaret Beall, this genealogy will show that William Odell / Odle is the earliest progenitor of our Odell / Odle family to have been uncovered to date."
Is it possible that the first 3 children listed below were by Margaret's first marriage to John Brewer and changed their name to that of her second husband? (R‑116, R‑117, R‑121, R‑150)

In 1779 he was appointed sheriff.
His will was dated 19 Aug. 1781 and proved 17 June 1782 in York Co. His plantation home was in James City Co. His son Ralph Graves and brother Richard Croshaw Graves were appointed executors of his estate.

Thomas Graves (215) was born 14 Nov. 1733, and died in 1810 in Wolftown, Madison Co., Va. He married Sarah Delaney, daughter of John Delaney (or Dulaney) and Frances Stanton, about 1752. Frances Stanton was a daughter of Thomas and Sarah Stanton. The will of Thomas Stanton, dated 2 Oct. 1741 (Orange Co. Rec., W.B. 1, p. 177), mentions daughter Frances Delaney, and the will of John Delaney, dated 28 April 1800 (Madison Rec., W.B. 1, p. 409), mentions daughter Sarah Graves. This will also mentions Thomas Graves, proving that he was alive in 1800, and could not possibly be the Thomas who died in 1792, as stated by Hamlin.
Sarah died before 1810. They lived in what is now Wolftown, Madison Co., Va. It was known as Culpeper Co. when he settled there on the Rapidan River. The mill of Thomas Graves, built 1780-1790, is still standing at Graves Mill, Madison Co., Va. The following children are all listed in the will of Thomas Graves, dated 28 April 1809, probated 22 March 1810 (Madison Rec., W.B. 2, p. 240). Their children were born in Culpeper Co., Va.

378. Elizabeth Graves, b. 14 Feb. 1771, m. James Clark, 2 Feb. 1807 (Madison Co., Va.). He was a son of Reuben Clark and Bathsheba Sampson. They lived in Richmond, Ind. There is some confusion with a Liza Graves, b. 1 Dec. 1787, who supposedly m. James Clark and may or may not be the same as Elizabeth.
+379. Elijah Graves, b. 3 Sept. 1773, m. Sarah Gaines, 1 March 1797, d. 1800.

381. Ann ("Nancy") Graves, b. 20 Oct. 1779, m. George H. Allen, 18 March 1806 (Madison Co., Va.). He was the first High Sherriff of Madison Co., Va. Either Ann's birth date or that of her brother Asa must be wrong, since they are too close together.

John Graves (217) was born 19 Dec. 1737, and died 8 Dec. 1825 in Boone Co., Ky. He married Ann Rice, daughter of William Rice and Sarah Helms of Culpeper Co., Va., on 30 Nov. 1760. The will of William Rice, probated 17 April 1780, gives property to his daughters, Ann and Sarah, wives of John Graves and his brother Edward. Ann Rice was born 21 Nov. 1741, and died 12 Nov. 1826 in Boone Co., Ky. They moved from Culpeper Co. (now Madison Co.), Va. to Boone Co., Ky. in 1797. Their entire family of children and grandchildren went with them or moved soon afterwards.
They went down the Ohio River in small boats and landed on the Kentucky side at North Bend opposite the place where President William Henry Harrison later made his home. The whole country through which they went was one vast wilderness. Cincinnati at the time was only a military post.

Arthur Graves (230) was born 19 Nov. 1752 (or 23 Nov. 1750[8]) in Chesterfield Co., VA, and died 28 April 1831. They lived in Chesterfield Co., VA. He may have been living with one of his daughters in 1830, since he was not in the household of any Graves families in Chesterfield Co., VA in 1830.
It has been said that this Arthur Graves married Frances Eanes in 1803, but it is almost certain that it was his son, or possibly a nephew, who married Frances. The marriage date of 1803 is very late for a first marriage. Arthur would have been over 50 at that date. The children of Arthur listed below were getting married themselves by 1800 or soon after. It seems much more likely that if Arthur Graves married Frances Eanes in 1803, he was either a son of this Arthur or of one of the brothers. Until more evidence is provided, he will be shown as a son of this Arthur Graves, even though this compiler believes he is more apt to be a son of one of Arthur's brothers, since a fairly long list of the children of this Arthur is shown below.

His brother Matthew was probably not living with him, since there was a Matthew Graves of the right age on page 433 of the same census.

Graves, Ralph, Cor., served in the Continental Line. Information from Pension Application R.14569, Land Bounty Warrant Application.
"Apparently a resident of York County at the time of the war and perhaps for all of his life, but his heirs filed claims from Charles City; Cornet of Cavalry in the Virginia State Line; Lt. Col. Cha. DABNEY certified that Cornet GRAVES was in the service of the state from AUG 1779 to the date hereof; J. NELSON, late commandant, State Cavalry, certified that Ralph GRAVES was appointed an officer in the corps of state cavalry under his command in 1776 and served until a little before the Siege of Yorktown in 1781. William SOUTHALL of Williamsburg stated that he saw GRAVES while in service bearing colors; that when TARLETON was in this part of the country he made frequent efforts to catch Ralph GRAVES who was said to be the best horseman in this part of the world and would ride in sight of the British troops when he pleased. He rode an excellent horse that ran very fast and was called Black and All Black. GRAVES died in 1795 and his daughter Letitia married John M. GREGORY and had children John M. GREGORY, Letitia P. GREGORY (wife of William P. WARE) and William R. GREGORY." (R‑179)

They moved from Virginia about 1790, and settled in Rutherford Co., NC, near Green River.
The following tribute to the memory of Henry Montague is from the pen of his grandson, Major Henry M. Earle. It was written to the compiler in 1890. (This is taken from History and Genealogy of Peter Montague of Nansemond and Lancaster Counties, Virginia, and His Descendants, 1621-1894, compiled and published by George William Montague.) Major Earle said, "I remember my grandfather, Henry Montague, well. He was an earnest and interesting man and prided himself upon his independence; he was just in his dealings, saved his money, and never went into debt. He always paid cash for what he bought and gave his offspring lessons in economy and industry. He was a regular communicant of the Baptist Church; was never known to use profane language and lived a well governed life. He attained his majority during the Revolutionary War and served in a cavalry company." (R‑99)

Nathaniel Graves (344), referred to as Nathan by John Card Graves, was born 11 Nov. 1767 in Granville Co., NC, and died after 1850 in AR. He married Frances Montague, daughter of Latane (or Lattany) Montague and Catherine Young, in 1798 in Granville Co., NC. She was born 4 Oct. 1779, and died 21 Sept. 1838 in Fayette Co., TN. She was a sister of Henry Montague who married Nathaniel's sister Elizabeth.
The family moved to Giles Co., TN about 1814, and later lived in Fayette Co., TN. After his wife's death, Nathaniel lived with his son, Addison and family, and moved with them to Sevier Co., AR in 1852. Nathaniel died sometime after 1850 and is believed to be buried in an unmarked grave in the old Graves Cem. in Howard Co., AR. All the children of Nathaniel and Frances were born in Granville Co., NC.
In researching this part of the Graves family, it was noted that several members of the family either married cousins or did not marry at all. According to tradition, one reason for this was that because of the large number of Graves families, they actually made up all or most of the community. As a result, no one except relatives lived in the area. Another reason was that the family was quite "well-to-do", owned large plantations and many slaves, and desired to keep the wealth in the family.

Ralph Graves (354) was born about 1769 in Mecklenburg Co., VA. He married Elizabeth Hart in 1795. R‑258 had also included Nathaniel Graves, born about 1798 in Granville Co., NC who married Martha ‑‑‑‑‑, and James Graves, born about 1800 as children of Ralph Graves. However, this Nathaniel Graves is #643, son of William Graves and Ann Neal. (R‑258, R‑496)

William Graves (355) was born about 1771 in Granville Co., NC, and died after Dec. 1802 (listed in Granville Co., NC Will Book 5, p. 304). He married Mary ("Polly") Hester (#625), daughter of Mary Graves and Henry Hester, on 21 Dec. 1798 in Granville Co., NC.
In the 1830 census for Carroll Co., TN, there were three Graves households. One was a William Graves (believed to be this one but the connection not proven) with 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 2 males 20-30, 1 male 50-60 (probably William), 1 female 20-30, and 1 female 40-50 (probably his wife). The second was Henry Graves: 1 male under 5, 1 male 20-30, 2 females 5-10, and 1 female 20-30. The third was John W. Graves: 1 male 20-30.
A story passed down in the family from Henry Graves is that three brothers came from VA or NC to TN. One went north to KY, one went south to MS, and one stayed in Carroll Co., TN. Together, the three weighed over 750 pounds. A grandson (grandfather of R‑512) of William Graves said that his grandfather was called "Buck" Graves, and that he was buried on the old farm in Carroll Co. but location is not known.
William must have died between 1830 and 1840. From 1825 to 1830, William Graves is listed several times in the Carroll Co. Court minutes as a jurist and road builder. The 1836 tax list mentions the "Widow Graves". From 1830 to 1849, Henry Graves is mentioned many times as a member of the grand jury and overseer of roads.
In addition, it appears that Walter C. Graves who married Elizabeth Jane Black (previously genealogy 9) was part of this family, possibly an older son of Henry C. Graves, but more likely a brother of Henry. There was also a Howell Franklin Graves who might have been another son of William Graves. (R‑512)

Mary Graves (359) was probably born about 1760, and died about 1820 in NC. She married Lewis Yancey about 1775 (or in 1786). He was probably born about 1750 in VA, and died about 1819 in Granville Co., NC.
One source said he was son of Richard Yancey of Mecklenburg Co., VA. However Dennis J. Yancey (R‑228) gave his ancestry as: (1) Mr. Yancey of Wales, (2) Charles Yancey of Hanover Co., VA, d. VA, m. Mary Leighton, (3) Charles Yancey, b. before 1684 (?), VA, d. after 1745, VA (?), m. Mary Bartlett, (4) James Yancey, b. early 1700's, VA, d. 1779, Granville Co., NC, m. Ann or Elizabeth Thornton (?), (5) Lewis Yancey.
In April 1996, Dennis Yancey wrote: "Out of various sources which make reference to Lewis Yancey and Mary Graves, only one gave birth and marriage dates for Lewis, and that was a 1927 DAR submission paper of a descendant of Lewis Yancey (gave birth as 1736 and marriage date as 1758, and 1739 for wife Mary). But it seems evident that the dates were estimates and broad ones at that, apparently almost 20 years too early. I have very little information which would allow me to nail down a specific birth and marriage date. The only things I can go by are the following:
(1) Jane Yancey, Lewis's daughter, was married 28 July 1790. She had various children and in all probability she was married very young (about age 15?), putting her birth date at about 1775.
(2) The son, Henry Graves Yancey, whose birth date (on DAR records, of 1758) is also an estimate from the DAR form. Since Lewis and Mary only seem to have had two children, one would assume that Lewis and Mary are very close in age. Henry was first married in 1805. According to the 1810 census, he would have been born after 1765; the 1820 census shows him to be born after 1775. But it couldn't have been very much after 1775.
(3) The 1800 census of Granville Co., NC, shows that the oldest male in Lewis Yancey's household (assumed to be Lewis himself) was born before 1755; the female in the family (Mary) was born after 1755.
From the above information, my guess is that Jane Yancey was born about 1775 and her brother Henry Graves Yancey was born a few years later, and that Lewis and Mary were married about 1775. This could have put Mary's birth date about 1760. From the wills of Henry and Rachel Graves it would seem that Mary was the oldest child of Henry Graves, then Ralph, David, and Betsy, in that order. Her next brother Ralph Graves was born 26 Oct. 1764, according to Ken Graves.
My current guess is that Rachel (Lewis) Graves and daughter Mary (Graves) Yancey and daughter Jane (Yancey) Christmas were all married very young, but that all of them were the mothers of all the children of their husbands". (R‑228)

He owned more than 2600 acres in the Graves Mill section of Madison Co., VA, and was considered one of the aristocrats. He owned several large brandy and whiskey distilleries. Mint julep was his favorite drink. His guests were awakened with a glass of old cream toddy served by slaves. His house is still standing in Wolftown. Their children were born in Wolftown.

Absalom (or Absolom) Graves (388) was born 28 Nov. 1768 in Culpeper Co. (now Madison Co.), VA, and died 17 Aug. 1826. He married Felicia White, daughter of John White and Polly ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 18 Dec. 1789 in Orange Co., VA. She was born 20 Nov. 1771, and died 19 Feb. 1851 at their home in Boone Co., KY. She is said to have led a very devout and charitable life. They moved from Virginia to Kentucky with the rest of his parents' family. He was prominent in civil life before 1810, when he was ordained a minister in the Baptist Church. He became distinguished throughout Kentucky, Ohio, and Indiana.
The following is extracted from a sketch of this remarkable man (as quoted by John Card Graves), "written by Rev. A. C. Graves of Lebanon, Ky., who had studied and become perfectly familiar with his character." "In early life, there was about Absolom Graves a manliness and fascination which won the respect of all classes and foreshadowed the patriarchal position he was to occupy in the world. He was studious, devoting his leisure hours to self-improvement, and became the best educated young man in his community. His fitness for civil responsibilities was soon recognized and he was made Clerk of the Quarter Sessions in 1779, the year after Boone Co., Ky. was formed. He held that position until 1805, when the Circuit Court was formed and he was made clerk, which office he held until just before his death in 1826. He was ordained to the Christian ministry in 1812, and was Pastor of the Bullittsburg Baptist Church for many years, and the author of the hymn book entitled "Graves Hymns". He was known as an exemplary man and his life was a blessing to the world."
Speaking of him, Rev. John Taylor says, "Perhaps the Gospel of the Saviour never came better recommended by human character." It was said of him by one who knew him well, "He was a model for any man. He was the most upright, perfect man I have ever known in my life." He was a prosperous man and accumulated a comfortable property. He erected the first two-story brick house built in Boone Co., Ky., which, somewhat remodeled, was still standing back from the bluffs which overlook the Ohio River opposite the mouth of the Miami River which divides Ohio and Indiana around 1900.

Joseph Graves (390) was born 20 (or 2) June 1773 in Culpeper Co. (now Madison Co.), VA, and died 22 April 1836 in Boone Co., KY. He moved from VA to KY with his family, probably in 1797, and lived the remainder of his life in Boone Co. He married Malinda Watts, daughter of Johnson Watts and Susan Davis of Boone Co., KY, on 4 May 1812. She was born 31 Oct. 1791, died 11 Oct. 1860, and was buried in Graves Cem. They lived in Boone Co., KY.
From "A Watts Family History" (R‑340): "Johnson Watts was born about 1762 in Orange County, Virginia. He was a farmer who grew tobacco mostly. He moved to Bullitsville, Boone County, Kentucky, circa 1800 and had many children. His last will and testament reveals that he owned considerable amounts of land in the county and gave generously to his children. It also reveals, not surprisingly, that he was a slave owner. This is nothing to be proud of, but it is a part of the family history. For the most part, the family was devoutly religious. This is evident in the many remarks mentioning them in the minutes of the Sand Run Baptist Church, which is located near present day Hebron, Kentucky. One of Johnson Watt's sons married the preacher's daughter, Mary Ann Whitaker. These people lived through some tumultuous times, the Civil War not the least of these. Although Kentucky was officially neutral, there is little doubt that the Watts family loyalty was to the CSA." Johnson Watts died 8 Jan. 1813, and was buried in Watts Cem., Bullitsville, KY. He married Susannah Davis (?) about 1785 in Orange Co., VA. Their children were: Benjamin Watts, b. 1787, d. 26 Feb. 1859; Malinda Watts, b. 31 Oct. 1791, m. Joseph Graves; Maria Watts, b. 1793, d. 29 May 1817, buried Watts Cem., Bullitsville, KY; Virginia Watts, b. 9 Nov. 1797, d. 24 Feb. 1868, m. James Gaines; Janetta Watts, b. 17 June 1798, d. 1 Nov. 1862, m. William Gaines, 15 Jan. 1818; Washington Watts, b. 1800, d. 31 Oct. 1870, m. Nancy Kendal; Nancy Watts, b. 1806, d. 5 Jan. 1869, bur. Watts Cem., Bullitsville, KY, m. Robert Sanford; William Watts, b. 13 March 1808, d. 23 Nov. 1879, bur. Watts Cem., m(1) Almedia Kirtley, m(2) Mary Ann Whitaker, 16 April 1849.
The reconstructed census (consisting of tax lists, etc.) for KY in 1800 showed only one Joseph Graves in Boone Co., as well as his father and three of his brothers (Absalom, Edward and William Graves). Joseph Graves was in the 1820 census for Boone Co., KY, page 16, with the families of uncles and cousins living nearby. He was in the 1830 census for Boone Co., KY, page 246. In his household was 1 male, born 1800-1810 (probably James C.), 2 males, born 1810-1815, 1 female, born 1790-1800 (probably his wife), and 1 female, born 1810-1815. Since he didn't marry Malinda until 1812 (when he was 39 years of age), he almost certainly had an earlier marriage. Since some of the family were born in Orange Co., VA, the first marriage could either have been there or in Boone Co., KY. There are three marriages for Joseph Graves recorded in VA: 1) Mary Goodwin on 23 Oct. 1790 in Louisa Co., VA, 2) Susannah Dyer, 17 Jan. 1793 in Frederick Co., VA, and Nelly Branham, 1 Jan. 1800 in Culpeper Co., VA. R‑172 shows four sons born to Joseph and Nellie Branham and three children born to Joseph and Malinda. (R‑172, R‑340, R‑915)

Jonathan Graves (397) was born 17 Nov. 1774 in Orange Co., VA, and died 4 Aug. 1849 at his home in Orange Co., VA. He was four years old when his father took him to the camp of Revolutionary soldiers under Gen. LaFayette, near his father's home, and he always remembered the appearance of the camp and of Gen. LaFayette, who took him by the hand and spoke to him.
He married Margaret Long in 1799. She died 4 July 1853. They lived on a portion of his father's estate which was divided between him and his brother Jacob. He built a two-story frame home there in 1800. He named his place "Pleasant View" and afterwards added six or seven hundred acres to it.
The inventory of Jonathan's estate was recorded Nov. 1, 1849. Among other items, it lists by name and value 53 slaves. The total value of the estate not including land was $21,338.17. A brief sample: "half (of a) still owned jointly with J. Graves - $5.00; eight beds and bedsteads - $240.00." (R‑907, R‑915)

On March 24, 1839, Richard H. Graves conveyed to Robert P. Waller, both parties of Williamsburg, for $75.00 said Graves's undivided one-sixth part of a certain parcel of land in the upper part of York Co. known by the name of Graves's, it being the land possessed by William P. Graves, Charles Graves and Mary Graves afterwards Bell as heirs of their father containing 190 acres more or less (York D.B. 13, p. 493). On the same day (York D.B. 12, p. 389), Robert I Barlow and Sarah T. his wife conveyed to Robert P. Waller their 1/6 interest in the above tract "which was held and possessed by William P. Graves father of the said Sarah T. Barlow." By 1852, Sarah T. Barlow was dead, leaving children William Henry and Robert Barlow, who with their uncle, Richard H. Graves, are certified as "the only heirs of Lt. William of the Va. State Navy in the Revolution" (York Rec.). Mrs. Hiden (R‑924) believed it likely they were certified as being the only heirs in the county. The Lt. William must have been the William born 2 Aug. 1756, son of Richard and Dionysia Graves.
It is not proven that the Richard H. Graves listed as a child of William was his, but if not, then he was a son of Richard's brother Charles Henry Graves. (R‑924)

Addison Graves (666) was born in 1809 in Granville Co., NC, died in 1860 in Sevier Co., AR, and is believed to be buried in an unmarked grave in the old Graves Cem., Howard Co., AR. He was five years old when his family moved to Giles Co., TN. He married Elizabeth ("Bettie") Amis Graves (#1291), daughter of William C. Graves and Elizabeth Amis, in 1835 in Fayette Co., TN. She was born in 1813 in TN. Their children were born in Fayette Co., TN.
Addison Graves and other members of the Graves family left Fayette Co., Tenn. in 1852, planning to relocate in southwest Arkansas. Unable to cross the Mississippi River because of high water, the group camped on the east bank for several days. A disagreement occurred, some unwilling to wait for the waters to recede changed their minds and settled in Mississippi, while Addison and others crossed the river several days later and settled in Sevier Co., AR. Some members of the family who went to Miss. eventually went to Howard Co., AR, and settled near Center Point.
The will of Addison Graves lists his children's names as William, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Martha and Fanney, while the 1850 census of Fayette Co., Tenn. shows their names as William, Elizabeth, Rebecca, Manitta and Lachlin. Another source mentions children Marietta and Latch.
While living in Sevier Co., Ark. (that part that later became Howard Co. in 1873), the Graves family attended the Center Methodist Church. At that time there were three rows of pews inside the church; men sat on one side, women on the opposite side, and their slaves occupied the center section.
According to the book Methodism in Arkansas, 1816-1976, by Walter N. Vernon, Center Church, organized in 1841, was the second oldest church in the county. The oldest Methodist Church in present day Sevier Co. is Green's Chapel Methodist Church in Lebanon, AR, organized in 1840. (R‑110)

He first married Elizabeth Rose of Madison Co., MS, daughter of Enoch Rose and Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑ of Madison Co., MS, about 18 Sept. 1835. The license was issued Sept. 16, 1835, and the surety was Thomas O. McDonald. The exact place of marriage is not known, since there was no return of the license. Enoch Rose named his wife and children in his will dated 1 July 1843. Elizabeth died in Oct. 1849, leaving 3 children. The 1850 Mississippi Mortality Schedule states that Elizabeth Graves, 28 years of age, died in October of consumption. The 1850 census for Madison Co., MS shows, John W., 42, Pascal, 12, Margaret, 9, and Virginia, 6, all children born in MS.
He married second Martha Ann Lee about 25 May 1853. He obtained the license to marry her on 23 May 1853. There was no return on the license for the exact date of marriage. Sometime between 1853 and 1860, John W. and Martha moved to Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish, LA. The 1860 census of East Carroll Parish shows John W., 54, Martha A., 23, Margaret C., 17, Virginia E., 14, Elizabeth, 1, and Mary E. Graves, 11, niece (TN). (Mary E. Graves was a daughter of Walter C. Graves, brother of John, according to her death certificate.) Martha, wife of John Graves, died on or about 31 Oct. 1865, after the birth of her son, John W. Graves, Jr., and a twin. The twin died also.
He married third Sarah Rebecca Lee, sister of Martha Ann Lee, on 3 May 1866 in East Carroll Parish, LA. Witnesses included Thomas G. Lee, father of Martha and Sarah Lee. There were no known children from this marriage. A family story is that Martha Lee Graves was traveling on a boat on the Mississippi River and met General Robert E. Lee. During the conversation, they discovered that they were kinfolks.
According to the 1870 census of East Carroll Parish, the family consisted of John W., 65 (NC), Rebecca, 25 (MS), Elizabeth, 11 (LA), Ida, 8 (LA), J. W. Jr., 4 (LA), Mary, 67 (NC), Linder, 17 (TN), Walter, 15 (TN), and Stella, 13 (TN). It is believed that the three children born in TN were the children of Walter C. and Jane Graves who died in 1859 and 1860 respectively. There was a lawsuit in Carroll Co., TN, involving some land formerly owned by Walter and Jane Graves. It seems their land had been sold without regard for the children. The lawsuit states that the children of Walter and Jane were stated to have been residents of Tennessee, when in fact they were residents of Louisiana. (The oldest child, Mary E., had already married and left the home of her uncle John when the 1870 census was taken.) The census does not show a relationship of the three children born in TN to the head of the household.
The first 3 children below were born in MS and the next 3 in LA. (R‑512)

1421. Elizabeth Rose Graves, b.c. 1859 (East Carroll Parish, Lake Providence, LA). The 1860 census of East Carroll Parish shows Elizabeth, age 1, as daughter of John W. Graves and Martha Ann (Lee) Graves. Elizabeth's mother, Martha A. Graves, died in Oct. 1865, and in 1866 John W. Graves married Martha's sister, Sarah Rebecca Lee. Elizabeth is shown as daughter, age 11, in their household in the 1870 census of East Carroll Parish. After the death of her father in 1876, Elizabeth went to live with her older sister, Virginia E. Dorsey and family who had moved across the Mississippi River to Issaquena Co., MS. The 1880 census of Beat 4, Issaquena Co. shows Lizzie R. Graves, age 16, in the household of Greenberry and Virginia Dorsey listed as sister. No further record has been found of Elizabeth.

Henry C. Graves (701) was born 20 Nov. 1801 (tombstone) or about 1805 (census) in VA, and died 4 Oct. 1876 in Carroll Co., TN. He was in the 1830, 1840 and 1850 censuses of Carroll Co., TN. He first married ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She probably died between 1830 and 1840. He married secondly Harriet Emily Jolly, daughter of John Jolly and Elizabeth Montgomery of SC and TN, on 5 July 1840 in Carroll Co., TN. He married third Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born 1 July 1823 and died 4 July 1868. (Dates are from her tombstone.)
All the children of Henry Graves were named in documents produced for the probate of Henry's will. The will was proved in open court during the May term, 1877, and was ordered to be recorded. The court clerk lost the will, and when it had not been probated by Feb. 1884, David Graves, a son, sued to have the will probated. Enough witnesses who had seen the will were brought into court, including witnesses and the writer of the will. All witnesses testified that Henry had left his property and personal belongings to his three youngest children, (David W., Ledora Elizabeth, and John W. Graves), and $1.00 to each of the other children. Robert Benton Graves, a son of Henry, was the administrator. There were thirteen children born to Henry and his three wives.
The 1830 census for Carroll Co., TN lists Henry Graves with 1 male under 5, 1 male 20-30, 2 females 5-10, and 1 female 20-30. The 1840 census for Carroll Co., TN lists Henry with 1 male under 5, 1 male 10-15, 1 male 15-20, 1 male 30-40, 1 female 5-10, 2 females 10-15, and 1 female 20-30. The 1850 census for Carroll Co., TN lists Henry C., 45, Narcissa, 24, Mary C., 22, George W., 20, McDonald, 18, Emmaritta, 16, Robert B., 9, Marcus G., 6, and Paneecy J., 4.
According to R‑513 and R‑512, Henry's tombstone gives his name as James H. (or James Henry) Graves. This is the only place where the name James is used. The 1850 census lists him as Henry C. Graves, and all other documents give his name as simply Henry Graves.
The father of Henry is believed to have been William Graves, who was in Carroll Co. by 1825, where he served as a juror and road overseer and is on the 1830 census. However, there is no proof of this as yet. According to family stories, Henry's father was called "Buck". The family story also says that three brothers came from Virginia or NC to TN. One stayed in Carroll Co., one went north, possibly to KY, and one went south.
It is also possible (but less likely) that Henry is the one who was a son of Joseph Croshaw Graves (#311) and Angelica ‑‑‑‑‑‑, probably of New Kent Co., VA. (R‑511, R‑512)

Howell Franklin Graves (703) was born 9 Dec. 1819. His tombstone gives this as his date of birth, which agrees with the dates for the unnamed son of William Graves in the 1830 census of Carroll Co., TN. However, the 1850 census indicated he was born in 1824, the 1880 census for Hickman, Fulton Co., KY indicated a birth date of about 1822, and his age of 45 when he was married for the third time in 1867 indicated a birth date of 1822. He is a probable son of William Graves, but this is not proven. He first married ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He married second ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He married third Margaret C. ‑‑‑‑‑‑ in 1867. He lived in Hickman, Fulton Co., KY, which is on the TN-KY border in the southwest corner of the state. (R‑512)

Walter C. Graves (704) was born about 1822 in NC, and probably died in late 1859 during a pneumonia outbreak. He married Elizabeth Jane Black on 1 Jan. 1846 in Carroll Co., TN (Carroll Co. Marriage Records). She was born about 1825, and died in early 1860 of pneumonia.
Walter was in the 1840 census for Carroll Co., TN. He was mentioned many times in the Carroll Co. Coiurt Minutes beginning Jan. 1845 through the late 1850's as road worker, road overseer, and bridge builder. They were in the 1850 census for Carroll Co., TN, as Walton C., 28, Jane, 25, Mary E., 4, William N., 2, William, 18, Eliza J. Croft, 12, Mary C., 32, and Mary Graves, 71 (probably Walter's mother and the widow of William Graves). Walter and Jane are both on the Carroll Co. Mortality Schedule for 1860, with his age given as 48 (should have been 38 according to the census).
Since Walter and Elizabeth Jane died in late 1859 and early 1860, they did not appear on the 1860 census which was taken in August 1860. However, a court document listed five children: Mary E. Graves, Madison Graves, Melinda Graves, Jacob Graves, and Matilda Graves. Three of these children were listed in the 1860 census of Carroll Co. in the home of Mary Graves who may have been an aunt. These were Melinda S., 9, Madison, 7, and Matilda, 6. Mary E. and Melinda A. lived with John W. Graves in LA. (R‑512, R‑514)

Jane Yancey (705) was probably born about 1775[35] in NC. On some records of the marriage of Jane, her name appears as Quincy or Jincey (possibly Janie or Janey). She first married William Christmas on 28 July 1790 in Granville Co., NC. He was born after 1764 and died 11 April 1804, both in Warren Co., NC. His parents were Thomas Christmas (son of John, son of Thomas) and Sarah Duke (daughter of William Duke). She married second John Green on 12 Oct. 1805 in Warren Co., NC. All her children were born in NC. (R‑228)

Henry Graves Yancey (706) was probably born about 1777[36] in NC, and died about 1848[37] in Granville Co., NC. He left a will in 1848 in Granville Co. He first married Elizabeth Royster, daughter of William Royster (son of William Royster) and Sarah Puryear, on 15 Jan. 1805 in Granville Co., NC. He married second Sarah Green, daughter of John Green and Polly Christmas, on 10 April 1813 in Warren Co., NC. Henry and family were listed in the 1810 and 1820 censuses for Granville Co., NC, and his wife was in the 1850 census for Warrenton Dist., Warren Co., NC. All his children were born in NC, at least the last 2 in Granville Co. (R‑228)

Rev. Elijah Graves (707) was born 23 Jan. 1791 at Grassy Creek, Granville Co., NC, and died 7 May 1869 in Houston, TX. He married Areanna (or Ariana) Stanford, daughter of Hon. Richard Stanford and granddaughter of Hon. Alexander Mebane (both members of Congress), on 5 May 1812 in Orange Co., NC. She died in 1864 at Clinton (now Cuero), TX.
They settled on a farm given him by his father, located about two miles from the latter's home in Granville Co. Their parents also gave them 20 negroes and a supply of horses and cattle. In addition to farming, he had a large private school.
They must have moved to Orange Co., NC about 1817 (unless the county boundaries changed), since their first 3 children were born in Granville Co., NC, but the others were born in Orange Co., NC, with the 5th through the 9th child born at Longmeadow, NC. (R‑80, R‑915)

Richard Graves (716) was born about 1773, apparently in VA. He was always called "Dickey", according to Mrs. Murriel L. Smith. According to tradition, he "originated near Richmond, VA", possibly Amherst Co., VA. The Graves and Murrell families were found in Dinwiddie Co., VA also. He died 11 Jan. 1849 in White Co., IL, and was buried in Phillipstown Cem., White Co., IL.
Amherst Co. is much too far west to be considered "near Richmond." David Graves, the father of the Richard ("Dickie") Graves who married Nellie Tilley was born near Richmond in Louisa or Spotsylvania Co. This David was in Surry Co., NC by 1762, in Shelby Co., KY by 1807, and was descended from immigrant Capt. Thomas Graves of VA. Dickie Graves who married Nelly Tilley on 26 Dec. 1797 in Shelby Co., KY has long been confused with the Richard Graves who married Millie Murrell, but it is now apparent that they are two different people.
The Richard Graves of this genealogy was descended from Capt. Thomas Graves of VA as follows: Thomas1, John2, Ralph3, Ralph4 m. Unity White, John5 m. Elizabeth, John6 m. Lucy Adams, John7, Richard8. Richard's parents were listed in the 1810 Albemarle Co., VA census. The source for the parentage of Richard is Critzer-Drumheller Ancestors by Margaret C. Reese, Waynesboro, VA, 1979. According to this book, Richard married second Jane Fielding (widow) on 28 Feb. 1799 in Augusta Co., VA. (See also The Graves Family Newsletter, pp. 70-71, 1995.) However, there is considerable question as to whether Jane Fielding really married this Richard Graves. See genealogy 188 for some of the probable descendants of Richard Graves and Jane Fielding of Augusta Co., VA. (R‑283)
Richard Graves first married Millie (or Milly) Murrell (or Murril) on 14 March 1796 in Amherst Co., VA. He later married Cassandra Riggs, daughter of Levi Riggs, probably as his third wife. She was born 10 May 1784 or 1787 in VA, died 18 Jan. 1871 in White Co., IL, and was buried in New Phillipstown Cem., White Co. It is not known for sure whether Elizabeth and Nancy were by the first or second marriage. Cassandra was recorded on the 1850 census living with son Thomas and the 1860 and 1870 censuses living with son James in White Co., IL.
The first four children were born in VA, the second and third probably in Amherst Co., and the fourth definitely there according to her grave marker at Stokes Chapel. Richard Graves, Jr. was born in KY, and Nancy may have been. Although Elizabeth was supposedly born in White Co., it seems more likely that she was born in KY. The last three children were probably born in White Co., IL.
The following is an article by Barry Cleveland that appeared in the Carmi Times, vol. 25, no. 30, Tues., 4 Feb. 1975, Carmi, IL. "For more than a century and a half they stood, silent but eloquent testimony to the skill of their creators and the strength of their timbers.
Stoically they braved the ravages of weather and time; quietly they perservered as hundreds and thousands of their kind grew up around them, aged and withered away.
Generations of men and animals sought their shelter; generously they offered it to their builders and their builder's children and grandchildren and greatgrandchildren...
And then, in the 16th decade of their existence, there were no more men to shelter. And slow death set in.
But death was not to be the fate of these two aging Phillips Township structures, located just 1-1/2 miles south of Crossville, believed to be the oldest in White County. Resurrection in a new setting, instead, lies before them, across the river in New Harmony, Ind.
Here is the story, pieced together from old abstracts, family histories and stories by Mrs. John C. (Grace) Spencer, Carmi.
Richard Graves, a Virginia pioneer, found the old Dominion's atmosphere a bit stifling toward the end of the 1700's and moved west to Kentucky.
By that time "Old Kaintuck" had also become a state, and Graves, probably infected with the "go west, young man" fever which was so much a part of the American psyche, soon moved on. He settled, eventually, in what was to become White County, IL.
Graves cleared a bit of the flat land about 1-1/2 miles south of what is now Crossville and built a log house, probably around 1805. He soon added another one-room structure nearby and built a loft to connect the two, leaving space between them (and beneath the loft) wide enough for a team and wagon to pass through.
Here Richard Graves settled with his second wife, Cassandra, and began to carve a life out of the Illinois wilderness. Back east, Thomas Jefferson was the President of the United States -- the same Thomas Jefferson whose home was just 40 miles from Richard Graves' old home in Amherst County, Va. But out in the bleak Northwest Territories, there were far more important considerations than worrying about national affairs. There was a growing family to raise, feed, and house.
Richard Graves soon saw the need for a new home, so he undertook to build a second double log house just southwest of the original. He could afford to take a bit more care with this one, and he did; the logs of the first building were more roughly hewn than the second.
The new structure was completed about 1810, and the growing Graves family moved in. It was headquarters for the 2,000-acre family estate, but also a haven from the elements and the Indians who still occasionally plagued the settlers. The "old" house eventually became a barn.
Civilization finally caught up to Richard Graves, and, with a family of eight children to feed and a large farm to help him with that task, he gave up his flight from it, and settled down.
His sons were growing fast, and in 1837 he presented his namesake, Richard Jr., with the land on which the home place stood, for "services rendered as a dutiful son."
History doesn't record when the senior Graves died, and details of the next years of the estate are sketchy. [His tombstone at Phillipstown Cemetery gives his death date as 11 Jan. 1849.] The junior Graves farmed his land and lived in the family homestead until his death in 1877, leaving eight children and a grandchild as heirs.
The home place went to a son, Lafayette Graves, but it was soon to pass temporarily out of the family. Samuel Goodman acquired the place in 1884, but he died in 1888. Then came Jacob Dennis, a Crossville man. [Samuel Goodman was a grandson of Richard Graves, and a son of Elizabeth Graves and James Goodman. However, Jacob Dennis was not descended from Richard Graves, as far as is known.]
In 1899, Mrs. Alice Spencer Caplinger, widow of John Spencer, acquired the property and moved into the old house, where she lived until her death in 1937.
Two years later, her grandson, John C. Spencer, who had lived with Mrs. Caplinger for many years, acquired the property from his brothers and sister -- Earl and Alfred, both of Carmi, Mrs. Lucille Lamar and Mrs. Alma Wave McKnight, both then of Crossville. Their father, Chancey, died in 1920 at the age of 36.
Thus the old homestead was again in the possession of a Graves descendant. John's grandmother was Lucy Graves Hart, his greatgrandfather Thomas Graves, his greatgreat- grandfather Richard Graves, Jr.
Eventually, the house became vacant, and its deterioration accelerated.
The family had learned of the buildings' approximate age in the late 1930's, from the aging Henry Graves, son of Richard Jr. and uncle of Mrs. Sarah Forrester, Crossville. As the structures began to decay, the Spencers grew progressively concerned, particularly Mary Jane and John E. Mrs. Spencer considered tearing them down, but the children persuaded her to wait a bit, in hopes that someone would want the old logs for preservation's sake.
And then New Harmony entered the picture. Richard Travis, county superintendent of schools and a friend of the Spencers, suggested that they talk with a historically-minded organization called Historic New Harmony.
Mrs. Spencer did just that, contacting Ralph Schwarz, a Connecticut native who heads HNH. Upon discovering the historical nature of the buildings, he agreed to purchase them for reconstruction on a site in New Harmony.
The work began late last fall. The siding and roof were torn away from first the house and then the barn, exposing the ancient logs. These were carefully numbered and charted and then moved to the Indiana site, where they will be reconstructed by this summer.
The buildings are probably older than any still standing in either White County or New Harmony, Schwarz said. They are of the same type which were built in the early days at New Harmony, but they will be clearly labeled in the reconstruction as being from White County.
Exactly what use the buildings will be put to remains to be seen, although tourists will be able to view them.
In any case, the Spencers can relax, knowing that their old homestead is in good hands, and White Countians can take pride in the reconstruction of one of their historic old buildings in one of the nation's most historic little towns." (R‑231, R‑233)

Paschal Graves (728) was born 26 June 1796 in Madison Co., VA, died 28 Aug. 1860 in Marksville, Page Co., VA, and was buried in Graves Chapel Cem., Page Co., VA.
He first married Mary ("Polly") Beidler (or Beedler), daughter of Ulrich Biedler and Barbara Varner, on 22 March 1819 in Shenandoah Co., VA Shenandoah Co. Marriage Record Book, 1772-1858, p. 247). She was born 29 Nov. 1802 and died 21 Oct. 1829. They lived in Page Co., VA He was a farmer, and they belonged to the Methodist Episcopal Church.
He married second Elizabeth White Graves[39] (#863), daughter of Jacob Graves of Orange Co., VA, on 25 Aug. 1830 (or 14 Sept. 1829) in Stanley, Page Co., VA. She was born 23 July 1805, died 1 May 1870 in VA and was also buried in Graves Chapel Cem., Page Co. She first married ‑‑‑‑‑‑ Eddins. Paschal is said to have had 13 children by this second marriage, although only 12 are listed below. This family was recorded on the 1850 census in Page Co., VA; their children were born in VA.
It had been believed by some that there was another son, Richard Thomas Graves, b.c. 1822, died 18 May 1899, who married Nancy Watkins about 1841. However, there is no mention of such a son in the family bible record submitted by R‑96. In addition, DNA test results received in early 2007 show that the line from Richard Thomas Graves is not part of this family and is probably descended from Francis Graves of Gloucester Co. & Essex Co., VA (genealogy 220).

James Chitham (or Chapman) Graves (809) was born 15 March 1803 in VA, was raised in Boone Co., KY, lived most of his adult life in Livingston Co., MO, and died after 1880, probably in Poweshiek Co., IA. He first married Frances Christenberry on 26 Feb. 1824 in Boone Co., KY. He married second Lackey Jane Webber, daughter of Phillip and Mary Webber, on 18 Dec. 1833 in Gallatin Co., KY (marriage Book 2, p. 140). The ceremony was performed by the Rev. James Cox. She was born 10 Sept. 1808 in Gallatin Co., KY, and died in Livingston Co., Mo. This was her second marriage also; she was first married to James C. Craig on 22 Dec. 1825 by Rev. H. Ogburn. She had two children by her first marriage: (1) Charles Craig, died on way to Calif., and (2) Ellen Craig, died young. In the book referenced below, she is called Liticia Webber; it may be that Lackey was a nickname.
Between 1841 and 1843, James and Lackey, with their five children, went west and settled in Creamridge Twp., Livingston Co., Mo. Later census records indicate that three more children were born there. James served as sheriff of Livingston Co. for some time, and was a justice of the peace for twenty years. They were members of the Missionary Baptist Church. They farmed in this area until death, and were both buried in Macadonia Cem. in Livingston Co., MO. They were listed in the 1850 census for 51st district, Livingston Co., dwelling 109, page 52, the 1860 census in Jackson Twp., P.O. Springhill, Livingston Co., MO, and the 1870 census for Creamridge Twp., Livingston Co., MO, dwelling 20, page 515. Recorded incorrectly as Joseph C. Graves, he was listed on the 1880 census as a 78-year old widower, born in VA. He lived with his son Joseph's family in Poweshiek Co., IA.
Additional information can be found in the book, The Ozark Region: a Reminiscent History, pages 568 and 569, published 1894.
Records indicate that James and Lackey assisted her sister Caroline Matilda Grayson Ward in settling the estate of Caroline's late husband, Archibald Ward. He served as the clerk for the estate sale and she provided an affidavit for Caroline to apply for pension for War of 1812 service by Archibald. (R‑172, R‑345)

The home still stands today, abandoned, on land owned and used to raise cattle by a descendant of Isaac Graves and his third wife Jemima.

His will, filed Jan. 10, 1882, names his son James as executor and asks that he care for Richard's wife, Fanny. The will leaves nothing to Richard, Jr., "advancements having already been made." (R‑52, R‑915)
