DESCENDANTS OF JOHN GRAVES
AND MARGERY HARVEY
OF RANDOLPH CO., NC
GENERATION 1
John Graves (1) was born about 1740
in VA, and died in 1811. According
to Miss Laura L. Walker (from information originally supplied by Mrs. Nellie
(Cox) Beane), John was born in England.
However, according to R‑50, the statement that John was born in
England probably came from someone who re-copied copies of notes of Phanney
Graves (b. 1803) who stated her grandfather, John Graves, was from a John
Graves, born in England, who came to America about 1635. The year of 1635 got changed through
re-copying to 1735 or 1755 or somewhere in between. There is no information as to who may have a copy of the
original notes of Phanney Graves.
R‑50 states that John Graves came to NC with explorers of the same
last name, some sons of Thomas Graves of Spotsylvania Co., VA. They came to the area by 1755. He married Margery Harvey, also said to
be from VA. John and Margery lived
on Bumper’s Fork of Little River.
This 312 acres of land was sold in 1822, after Margery was deceased, by
sons Leonard and Samuel to Silas Moffitt (Randolph Co. Deed Bk. 14, p.
214). This land adjoined Leonard,
Samuel, and William Bolling.
Per R‑210, which cites the Randolph Geneaolgical Journals, the name
of John Graves’ wife is rendered as Margery in his 1811 will and in an 1815 tax
roll, as Margere on the 1820 tax roll, and as Marge in a 1789 deed.
John’s will was dated 5 Jan. 1811,
and probated in Nov. 1811 in Randolph Co., NC (Will Book 3, p. 311). Margery and their son Samuel were
executors of the will.
Beneficiaries were wife Margery, daughters Mary and Elizabeth, sons
Samuel, William, Leonard, and John Jr.
Richard, a witness to the will, had shared a land grant with John
Graves, Sr., so apparently had received his share of the estate
previously. Not all of the
following 8 children are proven.
There are obvious discrepancies between the accounts and possibilities
given in the book by Lillian Sheppard and that by Aubrey Graves.
The first William Graves listed
below died in late Dec. 1791 or early 1792. In a will dated 30 Dec. 1791 he gave his land to his brother
Leonard, and personal possessions to his brother Samuel and his sister Mary
Anne (“Anne”). According to R‑50
and R‑210, William obtained land grant No. 401 from the state of North
Carolina on 18 Aug. 1787, registered 12 Dec. 1788 (Warrant No. 208, surveyed 29
Dec. 1786), for 300 acres of land on the Little River in Randolph Co. If the entry date for this land grant
was 1786, then he must have been born by 1765 at least, according to R‑50. William Graves may also be placed in
Randolph Co. by a signed 1785-1788 petition regarding court house
location. If he had a family, they
predeceased him. The last son
born, William, was named after his older brother.
Per R‑50, Elizabeth Graves
married Michael Harvey, who may have presented John Graves’ will in court in
1811. If Elizabeth was married in
1811, she was probably born by 1791.
Leonard sold land in 1794 (the 312 acres willed to him by brother
William). Having to be at least 21
years of age in 1794, he was born by 1773. Anne and Mary Graves, previously listed separately, are,
according to R‑50, one daughter named Mary Anne Graves. In 1794, she witnessed a deed as Mary
Hudson. If she was at least 21
years of age at this time, then she was born by 1773.
It is believed that there may be a
connection between this family and the families of Peter Graves, page 90, 1978 Graves Family Newsletter, and William B.
Graves, page 69, 1979 Graves Family
Newsletter?
Also, on pages 105 and 107, 1978
newsletter is information on the descendants of Samuel L. Graves, b.c. 1816,
NC, d. 25 March 1869, Texas Twp., DeWitt Co., IL. He probably first married Molly Mann, married second Mary
Wright, then married Sarah Ann (Baily?) Davis. Since one of his grandchildren was named Zilpha, perhaps he
was related to John Graves of Randolph Co. (R‑1, R‑7, R‑9, R‑18, R‑44, R‑50,
R‑201, R‑202, R‑210)

GENERATION 2
CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES AND MARGERY HARVEY (1)
Samuel Graves (2) was probably born
before 1764/5 in Randolph Co., NC.
The estimated date of birth is based on 1815 tax list, “0 poll tax,”
making him over 50 years of age, or born by 1764/5. He died 1830-1840, possibly in Clay Co., IN, or while
enroute. He married Zylphia Steed,
daughter of Nathaniel Steed and Susannah Franklin of VA. Nathaniel Steed was the son of John
Steed, Sr. and Ann Hill. Zylphia
was born about 1762, and died in April 1850 in Van Buren Twp., Clay Co.,
IN. She was 88 when she died. (She was listed in the Mortality Book for 1850.)
Samuel is said to have sold his land between 1815-1822 in preparation
for his move to IN. By 1831 the
family and many others started from Randolph Co., NC to Clay Co., IN by
horseback train.
As written in R‑210 and per R‑2,
Samuel Graves is mentioned in contemporary records as Samuel Graves
Esquire. He may be placed in
Randolph Co., NC by deeds of 1787, 1788 and 1791, a militia record of March
1789, census records of 1790, 1800, and 1810, marriage bonds of 1799 and 1819,
court records of 1793 and bastardy bonds of 1812, 1814, 1835, and 1839, tax
rolls of 1803, 1815 and 1820, and a voting roll of 1817. He was a constable in 1788. He owned considerable property,
including 612 acres on the Little River, 250 acres on the Uharie River, and 100
acres on Reedy Creek.
The following children are believed
by R‑2 to be the children of Samuel and Zylphia, but only Mary Ann has
been proven to be a child.
According to R‑50, Samuel Sr. and Zylphia had a total of 11
children, eight born by 1800. The
1790 census lists 2 sons and 1 daughter.
The 2 sons were probably Samuel, Jr. and Gillum (thought by some to be a
child of John and Margery Graves) Graves.
The 1800 census lists 3 sons and 5 daughters. This son was probably John Graves who married Annie
("Jonsy") Spencer.
Samuel Graves, Sr. deeded 262 acres of land to John in 1822 (Bk. 17, p.
356) which was witnessed by Mark and Anney Bolling. Mark Bolling was the brother of Talitha who married Samuel,
Jr. It is said that John could
walk 1¼ miles from his house to the village of Seagrove where he somestimes
served as a magistrate. Per R‑50,
Jane Graves is a probable daughter but no information on a Henry Graves. R‑50 also suggests that some of
the children attributed to Samuel Graves and Zylphia may actually be the
children of Samuel Graves, Jr. (R‑9,
R‑17, R‑44, R‑50, R‑201)

Richard (“Dickey”) Graves (4) was
born some time between 1765 to 1769[3],
in Randolph Co., NC, and died 15 June 1849 in Randolph Co., NC. Randolph
Geneological Journal, Vol. 16, No. 3, p. 15, cites: Richard Graves, 80 years old, d. June
1849 after a ten day illness; cf.
1850 Mortality Schedule of Randolph Co., NC. He was buried in the original Graves Cemetery which is
located in Randolph Co., ¼ mile west of State Road 134 and ¼ mile north of
State Road 1118 on an unpaved road.
The graveyeard reportedly contains 19 graves. R-50 states that according to some information, Richard and
his wife were buried on land owned by their son, Samuel. He married Hannah Fincher, daughter of Benjamin
Fincher. Benjamin was a Quaker,
joining the Cane Creek Monthly Meeting, Orange Co., NC, in 1755, with his
family. Hannah was born about
1769, listed as age 81 on the 1850 census, then living in the household of her
son Samuel Graves. She died 9 Nov.
1856 in NC at age 87. They moved
to the Seagrove area by 1794 and settled on Little River in the southern part
of the county. All their children
were born in Randolph Co., although the information on their son Richard is
just that he was born in NC.
Richard’s home plantation was purchased in 1794 from his brother,
Leonard, who inherited the land in 1791 from his brother William Graves. William had obtained the land by a 1787
grant from the state. Richard then
deeded this land in 1841 to his son Samuel. Richard and Hannah moved in with Samuel and his wife Rachel.
The book Fincher in the USA, 1683-1900, compiled by Evelyn Davis Fincher and
Ann Wilson Fincher, gives much information on the Fincher family. Hannah Fincher is descended from
Francis Fincher, a Quaker from Worcester, England, who arrived in Philadelphia,
PA, 7 mo., 28th day, 1683 (May 28, 1683) aboard the ship “Bristol
Comfort” accompanied by his second wife, Mary (Achelley) Fincher, his small
children and servants. The descent
of Hannah was: Francis1, John2, Jonathan3,
Benjamin4, Hannah5.
Benjamin was born about 1740 in Chester Co., PA, and died 19 March 1808
in Randolph Co., NC, leaving a wife, 2 sons, and 5 daughters.
As written in R‑210, Richard
Graves may be placed in Randolph Co., NC by documentary evidence dating from
1785, including a signed petition, a law suit of 1789, census records of 1790,
1800, 1830, and 1840, deeds of 1791-1841, militia records of 1801-1802, a will
of 1811, tax rolls of 1803, 1815, 1820, and 1828, voting records of 1817, and
marriage bonds for his son Benjamin in 1822 and daughter Nancy in 1825.
Local Randolph Co. history gives
information that two of Richard’s sons, Benjamin and Samuel, remained in NC and
four other sons went West. It is
said thay had six boys and six girls in total. According to R‑50, Mary Anne and Nancy are most often
identified as daughters of Richard and Hannah, which is confirmed by letters
and other information. In addition
to the children listed below, Cindy Holsapple-Boone says that Jane Graves (#16)
who married Randolph Bowling was also a child of this Richard Graves. However, R‑50 believes Jane is
probably a daughter of Richard’s brother Samuel. The birth order is unclear. (R‑1, R‑4, R‑7, R‑12, R‑13, R‑29,
R‑30, R‑31, R‑44, R‑50, R‑84, R‑85, R‑87,
R‑89, R‑90, R‑201, R‑202, R‑210)

Leonard Graves (6) was born before
1773 in Randolph Co., NC, and died before 1850. He is listed on the 1815 tax list for Randolph Co. He married ‑‑‑‑‑‑. According to R‑50, Leonard’s son
Richard has repeatedly been misidentified as the son of Richard and Hannah
Fincher Graves and the two men mistakenly combined into one. Per R‑50, Martha Provost, now
deceased, was “the most informed person on this subject.” She states that the Richard who married
Agnes Graves and the Richard who married Nancy Vuncannon are two separate men
who were first cousins. (R‑50,
R‑75)

John Graves, Jr. (7) was born 2
Jan. 1790 in Randolph Co., NC, died 7 March 1883 in Martinsburg, Washington
Co., IN, and was buried in Cravens Cem., located on the family farm in
Washington Co., IN. He married
Margaret (“Peggy”) Brookshire. She
was born 20 Feb. 1791 in Randolph Co., NC, died 26 March 1878, and was also
buried in Cravens Cem. They moved
to Indiana in 1829, going first to Montgomery Co. and then to Washington Co. in
1848 or 1849, settling 3 miles south of Salem. Later they moved to the northwest quarter, section 28, in
what is now Pierce Township, which was their homestead. They apparently also lived for a time in
Kentucky, since at least four of their children were born there, according to
the 1850 census for Washington Co., IN.
On the 1860 census, John and Margaret lived with their daughter Mary
Graybill and her family in Jackson Twp., Washington Co., IN. On the 1870 census in Pierce,
Washington Co., IN, John was recorded as John G., age 81; he was listed as a
retired farmer. (R‑44, R‑201,
R‑207, R‑210)

Mary Anne Graves (8) was born
before 1773 (or about 1764 per R‑44). She married Joseph (“Joel”) Hudson. He was born about 1760. They were listed in the censuses for
1800 and 1810 in Rockingham Co., NC.
(R‑1, R‑7, R‑9, R‑44, R‑50, R‑201, R‑202)

William Graves (9) was born about
1794, presumably in Randolph Co., NC, and died after 10 Sept. 1850, probably in
Indiana. He married Sarah Ann ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was also born about 1794, and died
after 1850 according to the 1850 census.
On the 1820 census, a William Graves, age 26-45, one female 16-26, and
two males, 0-10 are listed.
According to R‑201, William was listed with six children in the
1830 census for Van Buren Twp., Clay Co., IN. William bought two pieces of land in Clay Co. early in 1836
and sold them in Dec. 1836. On the
1850 census for Sterling Twp., Crawford Co., IN, a William Graves, age 56, born
North Carolina and Sarah Graves, age 56, born North Carolina are shown
following an entry for John (#60) and Catharine Graves.
There is some question that the
John Graves below is the son of this William Graves; William Graves was listed
as the father on John’s death certificate; no mother’s name was given. R‑34 believes that the John
Graves below was the son of William Graves (#26). (R‑29, R‑201)

GENERATION 3
CHILDREN OF SAMUEL GRAVES (2) AND ZYLPHIA STEED
Samuel Graves, Jr. (10) was born in
1785-1786 per R‑50, but others say between 1800 and 1810 in Randolph Co.,
NC. He married Mary M. Mann on 28
March 1828 in Vigo Co., IN. She
was born 1810-1820. According to R‑50,
this man may be confused with another person. A Samuel Graves, Jr. is listed in 1815 Randolph Co. with 240
acres-Little River. Would a man
born 1800 to 1810 list acres in 1815?
This Samuel Graves, Jr. who listed acres/taxes in 1815 is belived by R‑50
to be the Samuel Graves deeded 250 acres of land in 1807. If this is the Samuel Graves born by
1785/6, then he would be about 21 years old in 1807. The Samuel Graves born by 1785/6 married Talitha Bolling
(Bolling family history) and went to IN.
The following children were listed in the 1840 census for Van Buren
Twp., Clay Co., IN. The Samuel
Graves recorded on the 1860 census in Van Buren Twp., IN was Samuel (#216), son
of John Graves and Mary Smitherman.
(R‑50, R‑17, R‑201)

Gillum (or Gilliam) Graves (11) was
born about 1785/6 in Randolph Co., NC, and probably died before 1850 when Sarah
was recorded on the 1850 census in Boone Co., IA living with her son
Henry. He married Sarah Ann ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born about 1794 in NC, and died
after 1870 in Boone Co., IA. She
was recorded on the 1850-1870 censuses in Boone Co., IA. In 1854, a Sarah Graves (living in
Iowa) sold land in Clay Co., IN to Henry Graves, son of Gillum’s brother Samuel
(#10). Gillum is listed on the
1815 tax list for Randolph Co. He
witnessed deeds in 1815 and 1818.

Mary Ann Graves (13) was born 5 April
1793 in Randolph Co., NC, and died 10 Oct. 1831, while enroute from NC to
Indiana by horseback train (soon after the group had crossed the border of
either Ohio or Indiana), and was buried by the roadside in either Ohio or
Indiana. She married Stephen A.
Lowdermilk, son of John Harrison Lowdermilk and his first wife Mary Elliott, on
25 June 1812 in Randolph Co., NC.
He was born 15 May 1793 in Randolph Co., near Asheboro, died 15 Sept.
1872 near Ashboro in Clay Co., IN, and was buried in Cade Cem., Perry Twp.,
Clay Co., IN. Ashboro, IN and the
Mt. Olive Church near there were supposedly named by Stephen and his son
William for the town and church near their NC home. An old record says “John Lowdermilk was a large slave holder
and on account of Stephen’s anti-slavery convictions he was disinherited by his
parents.” All the children of Mary
Ann and Stephen were born in Randolph Co., NC.
On arriving in Indiana, Stephen
first settled on the Eel River, but shortly afterwards moved to Jackson
township, section 29, and built a cabin.
He later went on foot to Vincennes, IN, to enter his first 40 acres of
land from the government, and he added more later, making a total of 150 acres. It was at this time he met and married
his second wife, Mrs. Sarah (‑‑‑‑) Bolin, widow of
Richard T. Bolin, about 1838 in Clay Co., IN. Sarah was born 3 Oct. 1803, died 9 Sept. 1871, and was
buried in Union Cem. He was an
active Methodist, his cabin being used for the first church services. For 23 years he was a justice of the
peace, without having a single judgement reversed. He was a life-long supporter of Republican principles and
was importantly connected with the organization of the county and township. He and Sarah had four children, and
their eldest son, Calvin, was reared on the farm and obtained but little
education.
Stephen Lowdermilk was recorded on
the 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses in Clay Co., IN. A James W. Lowdermilk, age 19, born Indiana, was listed with
the family in 1850. It is unclear
whether he was the last child of Mary and Stephen; subsequent censuses list a
James W. Boling, b.c. 1831 in
Indiana, who may be a son of Stephen’s second wife Sarah by her first
marriage. James W. Boling’s
children married into the next generation of Graves’ descendants so Boling’s
descendants are listed in the genealogy for clarity. (R‑6, R‑9, R‑201, R‑210)

Margery (or Margere or
"Marge") Graves (15) was born about 1802 (or before 1801), probably
in Randolph Co., NC, and probably died in the mid-1820’s (about 1825) She was probably a daughter of Samuel
Graves who performed the marriage (or was the bondsman listed on the marriage
license). She witnessed an 1821
deed from Samuel Graves, Sr.
She married Miles Beaman (or Myles
Beaman[5])
on 3 Jan. 1819 in Randolph Co., NC[6]. He was born about 1800-1801 in NC, and
died after 1870, probably in West Florida. He is listed in the 1854 school census of Nacogdoches Co.,
TX, the 1857 tax list of the county, and the 1850, 1860 and 1870 censuses of
Nacogdoches Co. He was listed as a
farmer in the 1880 census for Nacogdoches Co. He was a son of Abraham Beaman (b.c. 1772, d. 19 Oct. 1848,
Pike Co., AL[7])
and Rhoda Godwin? (b.c. 1773, d. 29 Feb. 1864). Miles married second Sarah Jane
(‑‑‑‑‑‑) Hightower in 1826 or 1828 in
NC. She was born about 1801 (or
1808) in TN, died about 1875 in Nacogdoches Co., TX, and was buried in Chireno
Cem., Chireno, Nacogdoches Co., TX (or San Jacinto Co., TX per R‑66). Sarah was listed in the 1860 and 1870
censuses, and the 1861 and 1862 tax lists of Nacogdoches Co., TX. She married third John Speer.
Mrs. Lois Barnett Cooksey, a great
great granddaughter of Miles, wrote in January 1980: “The Beamans and Barnetts are very interesting because of
inter‑marriage around 1849-1855 and also because of some sort of a family
feud that made Landy Barnett desert a young second wife about to have a baby
[Josephine Hightower] and Miles Beaman desert a wife (Sarah) who just had
twins. Both men went back to Pike
County, Alabama. Landy Barnett
married a Celia Williams in Pike County in 1852, and Miles Beaman married a
Susan Hancock in 1862. When or
where either man died is not known.”
Miles Beaman married third Susan R.
E. Hancock on 30 March 1862 in Lowndes Co., AL recorded on p. 546 of Alabama
Marriages, 1800-1920.
Sarah had a daughter by her first
marriage, Josephine Hightower, born about 1824 in Arkansas according to R‑65. (R‑62, R‑63, R‑64, R‑65,
R‑66, R‑67, R‑211)
Children - Beaman
+90. Rhoda Beaman, b. 12 (or 17) Nov. 1819, m(1) ‑‑‑‑‑‑ Crawford, m(2) John F. Davis (?), m(3) Benjamin F. Haney, d. 31 Dec. 1884.
Jane Graves (16) was born about
1800 in Randolph Co., NC, and died after 1860 in Washington Co., IN. She married Randolph Boling (listed alternately
as Bowling, Bolling, Bollen, or Bolin), son of John Bollen (or Bowling) and
Lucielle ("Lucy") Randolph, about 1816 in NC. (One source said he was son of Benjamin
Bolling and Lucille Randolph.) He
was born about 1800 in Randolph Co., NC, and died 13 Feb. 1849 in Washington
Co., IN. He is believed to have
been a Quaker. They moved from NC
to Indiana about 1826.
Rather than being a daughter of
Samuel Graves (#2), it is possible that Jane was a daughter of Richard Graves
(#4) and Hannah Fincher, or possibly of Richard’s father John.
R‑70, who is descended from
Jesse Boling, brother of Randolph, through Jesse's son Larkin, wrote: "My
g-g-grandfather, Larkin, spelled the last name Boling (I have his Bible) and
his father, Jesse, was Boling."
She also wrote: "I would dearly love to find out who the parents of
Lucy Randolph are. I also believe
the Graves line was originally from VA as were the Randolphs and
Bolings/Bollings. The 1790 NC
census (Hillsborough Dist., Orange Co.) included Thomas Redding (Reddings
married into Boling lines) and a Robert Graves Jr. Also, in Sussex Co., VA on the 1787 personal property tax
list was Sarah Graves, John Graves, William Graves, along with several Felts
names (Pattie Felts was married to Benjamin Boling). I think they are all related."
At least the first 6 children
listed below were born in Randolph Co., NC, the seventh in NC, and all the
others in Washington Co., IN.
The following was a typed record
(submitted by R‑43) made by Attorney David W. Bolen, Hillsville, VA. It was addressed to Miss Vinnie Frances
Denny (#1569) and postmarked 14 Sept. 1921:
“Family of Randolph, son of John Bollen
Randolph Bollen, son of John, and
grandson of Benjamin, married Jane Graves in Randolph Co., NC, and soon after
their marriage moved to Washington Co., IN where they reared a family of 16
children, the youngest of whom is the present Mark Boling of Ladega, IN. This Randolph Boling reared a daughter
named Sallie who married a Mr. Hattabaugh, and the present Mrs. Pollock of Indianapolis
is a daughter of this marriage.
Another daughter of Randolph Boling
whose name was Clarissy married a Mr. Denny but my notes do not show the
relation to Miss Vinnie Frances Denny to this marriage. (I am giving her a copy of these notes
with request that she explain her relation and that of her family to this
marriage.).” (R‑43, R‑68,
R‑69, R‑70)

John Graves (17) was born about
1799 in NC, and died about 1862.
John married Anne Johnston Spencer, daughter of Johnston Spencer and
Elizabeth Anne Tucker of Randolph Co., NC. She was born about 1805 in NC, and died after 1870. She was known as “Annie” or “Jonsy”
according to R‑50. Previous
information indicated that John married Amy Tucker, daughter of Nathaniel
Tucker and Martha Lawrence, however that seems to be incorrect. Elizabeth Anne (Tucker) Spencer and
Nathaniel Tucker were brother and sister, so Annie and Amy Tucker would have
been first cousins. According to R‑60,
Amy Tucker was listed as a single woman in both the 1850 and 1860 censuses,
living with her brother Jesse Tucker in Montgomery Co., NC. R‑61 also states that Amy Tucker
never married and lived with Jesse until she died. The 1850 Randolph Co., NC census lists John, 51; Annie, 43;
Willis, 27; Sarah, 25; Jane, 22; Polly, 19; Richard, 16; Lucy, 12; Thena, 9;
Martha, 6; Calvin, 5; John C., 8 mo.
The 1870 Randolph Co., NC census lists Anna Graves, 65, and Caroline
Graves, 21. They were family 92;
family 88 was her daughter Jane Luther as head of household; family 91 was
Ransom Vuncannon and granddaughter Mary Luther; family 93 was her son Calvin
Graves and his wife, and family 94 was her son Willis Graves.
Based on old correspondence, the
Graves family apparently lived in Randolph Co., NC, near Montgomery, in the
Pisgah area.
John's will did not list Pauline
among his children, so it is possible she died before 1862. His son, John, probably died young, since
the will refers to Calvin as his youngest son. (R‑10, R‑50, R‑56, R‑60, R‑61)
Children - Graves
+107. Willis Graves, b.c. 1821, m. Mary Strider, 11 Jan. 1866, d. 14 March 1899.
+108. Sarah Graves, b. 11 Aug. 1827, m. Michael Cox, 1854, d. 17 Feb. 1899.
+109. Susan Jane Graves, b. 1828, m. Hillary Luther, 2 Jan. 1851, d. after 1880.
110. Mary Pauline ("Polly") Graves, b. 1831, never married (or married and died young per R‑50).
+111. Richard Graves, b. March 1835, m. Mary Ann Luther, 20 Nov. 1856, d. after 1910.
112. unknown daughter, b.c. 1836, d. young. (per R‑50)
+113. Leacy/Lucy Graves, b. 1838, m(1) Isaiah Strider, 20 April 1856, m(2) Allen Hudson, 2 Feb. 1868, m(3) Alexander Spencer, d. 21 Oct. 1905.
+114. Catherine Parthenia Graves, b.c. 1839, m. Enoch J. Strider, 23 Feb. 1862, d. 7 Nov. 1882.
+115. Martha Anne Graves, b.c. 1844, m. Kendrick Thayer, 28 Nov. 1858, d. 23 May 1924.
116. Calvin Graves, b.c. 1844, m. Elizabeth Graves, 5 July 1863. This Elizabeth Graves is the dau. of Samuel Graves and Rachel Luther according to R‑50. There were two different Calvin Graves who married two different Elizabeth Graves; it is unclear if the marriage date listed is for this Calvin Graves.
117. John Clark Graves, b.c. 1850. Died around 6 years of age and bur. on grandfather Johnston Spencer’s farm in Why Not, NC.
+118. Caroline Ada Graves, b.c. 1851, m. Noah Luck, d. 1877.
Rebecca Graves (18) was born about
1800 in NC, and died after 1870, probably in Clay Co., IN. She married John Williams on 29 Oct.
1819 in Randolph Co., NC. He was
born about 1795 in NC, and died after 1870. They moved from Randolph Co., NC to Indiana, and were
recorded on the 1850 census in Van Buren Twp., Clay Co., IN, dwelling 15, page
293. He was a farmer. Their first seven children were born in
NC, and the last four in Indiana.
This family was also recorded on the 1860 and 1870 censuses in Van Buren
Twp., IN.
There is no proof that Rebecca was
a daughter of Samuel Graves.
However, in the 1850 census for Van Buren Twp., Clay Co., IN, the family
was recorded in dwelling 15, page 293, two houses away from Saul and Zylphy
Vuncannon in dwelling 17, page 293.
Zylpha (Graves) Vuncannon was a daughter of Samuel Graves. In 1850 they also lived close to Isaac
Graves, brother of Zylpha and son of Samuel, who was in dwelling 122, page 300,
of the same census. It is also
interesting to see that Rebecca and John had a son listed as Drewry (Andrew
Jackson Graves) in the 1850 census, as did Isaac Graves. If Rebecca was not a daughter of Samuel
Graves, she was almost certainly a daughter of one of his brothers. (R‑52)

James Graves (19) was born about
1805 in Jackson or Van Buren Twp., Clay Co., IN, and died after 1850. He married Matilda ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born 1810-1820, and died before
1850. James and his children were
recorded twice on the 1850 census:
once in Menard Co., IL, Roll M432-120, p. 340 on 19 Oct. 1850, and once
in Deep Creek, Clinton Co., IA, Roll M432-182, p. 204 on 31 Oct. 1850. (R‑80, R‑201)

132. Hannah Graves, b.c. 1840 (IN).
133. Isaac Graves, b.c. 1842 (IN).
Isaac Graves (20) was born about
1808 in NC (probably Randolph Co.), died about 1854 at age 46 in Jefferson
Twp., Andrew Co., MO, and was buried there in Green Cem. He married Elizabeth Dickens (or
Deakins or Decking per R‑17), daughter of John Dickens (or Deakins) and
Elizabeth Committ, on 2 Jan. 1832 in Putnam Co., IN. She was born 1815-1818 in KY, died 1863 or 1864 at age 48 in
Andrew Co., MO, and was buried near Isaac in Green Cem., Andrew Co., MO. Isaac probably moved with his parents
and others from Randolph Co., NC to Clay Co., IN about 1831. They apparently moved from Indiana to
McLean Co., IL in 1852, and then to Andrew Co., MO by 1854. All their children except the last one
seem to have been born in Van Buren Twp., Clay Co., IN. They were in the 1850 census for Van
Buren Twp., Clay Co., IN, dwelling 122, page 300. Living with them in 1850 was Sarah King, age 17. (R‑17, R‑201)

Zylpha (or Zylphia) Graves (21) was

in Clay Co., IN. She was listed as
age 39 in the 1850 census and age 45 in the 1860 census for Van Buren, Clay
Co., IN. She married Solomon
(“Saul” or “Sol”) Voncannon, son of Peter Voncannon, Jr. and Christina ‑‑‑‑‑‑,
in NC. This name is sometimes
shown as Von Cannon, Vuncannon, etc.
He was born 8 Jan. 1808 in NC, and died 7 Feb. 1853. They were shown in the 1850 census for
Van Buren Twp., Clay Co., IN, dwelling 17, page 293. In 1860 she still lived in Van Buren Twp., next door to a Samuel
Graves, Jr., probably a nephew. (R‑17,

Drewry W. Graves (22) was born 19
Nov. 1813 in NC, probably in Randolph Co., died 17 April 1883 in Plattsmouth,
Cass Co., NE, and was buried in Pleasant Ridge Cem., Plattsmouth. He first married Lucinda ‑‑‑‑‑‑,
possibly in 1849 or 1850. She was
born 15 July 1820 in Indiana, died 4 Dec. 1863 in Plattsmouth, and was also
buried in Pleasant Ridge Cem. He
married second Laura A. ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born about 1815 in NY, and died
after 1880. Drewry sold land in
1840, bought land in 1841, and had his property sold to satisfy claims against
him in 1843, all in Clay Co., IN.
A newspaper account in The
Plattsmouth Journal, Dec. 5, 1927, concerning the death of Drewry’s eldest
child, Drewry M. Graves, states that the Drewry W. Graves family came from
eastern Iowa with the Mormon migration to Utah, and when the Mormons arrived at
Canesville (now Council Bluffs, IA) in 1855, they stopped there for the
winter. Learning that Samuel
Martin, a distant relative of Drewry W. Graves’ wife, lived in Plattsmouth, the
Graves family went there and settled.
Drewry was listed as a brick mason and stone mason in 1860 and 1870, and
as a barber in the 1880 census. (R‑201)

Elizabeth Graves (24) was born
before 1790 in Randolph Co., NC, and died probably after 1843 based on the list
of children. She married Nathaniel
King in 1818 in Randolph Co., NC (Book 1, p. 148). He was born about 1796 in NC, and died after 1850 (listed on
the 1850 census for Perry Co., AR).
This family migrated to central Arkansas by 1833, where they appear on
the 1840 census for Conway Co. and the 1850 census for Perry Co. Children Samuel through William were
recorded with Nathaniel on the 1850 census, and children Mary Jane through
William were born in AR. The birth
order for the children listed below was provided by R‑31 as written in
his Volume II genealogy, King Family chapter, pp. 81-105. (R‑31, R‑210)

176. William C. King, b.c. 1843. May not be Elizabeth’s son based on birthdate. Lived with his brother Richard’s family in 1870 in Higgins, Perry Co, AR.
Sarah (“Sallie”) Graves (25) was
born about 1790 in NC, and died 25 Aug. 1851. She married James Brookshire, son of Mannering Brookshire II
and Prudence ‑‑‑‑‑‑, about 1805. He was born about 1783 in Pendleton
District, Anderson Co., SC (per R‑87) and died 19 March 1864, probably in
Marshall Co., AL (per R‑85).
According to “Genealogical
Abstracts from Reported Deaths from The Nashville Christian Advocate 1850-1851”
by Jonathan Kennon Thompson Smith, the following obituary appeared:
“SALLY BROOKSHIER daughter of
Richard and Hannah Graves; born Randolph Co., N.C., Oct. 9, 1781; married James
Brookshier, 1805 and moved to Ky., then to Rutherford Co., Tenn.; died August
25, 1851. Her daughter, PERMELIA CAROLINE BROOKSHIER, died Aug. 27, 1851.”
It appears that the birthdate for
Sally is incorrect; Sally’s mother Hannah (Fincher) Graves was 81 on the 1850
census, born about 1769. This
family was recorded on the 1850 census in Marshall Co., AL, Roll M432-10, p.
253 on 13 Dec. 1850. James was 67
and Sarah 60, both born NC. Living
with them were Rebecca, 23, Ellener J., 17, Permelia C., 17; their birthplaces
were listed as AL. Their first
four children were born in NC, Graves Goodrich in KY, the next three in TN, and
the last six in AL.
Information regarding these
families was obtained from the Bureau of Indian Affairs, Muskogee, OK. A certified copy of the Choctaw Rolls,
Mississippi, 1902, states that James Brookshire, whose Indian name was Old Blue
Nose, and his wife, Sallie Graves, whose Indian name was Choyata, recorded
spelling O-Ha-Ya, were both half Choctaw.
A story by Harper Haynes, submitted
by R‑84, reads: “When Andrew Young Haynes and Sally (Sarah) came to
Texas, they left her father (James Brookshire) in Mississippi. When he was 96 years old, he rode to
Texas alone on an undersized mule.
He lived to be 104 years old.”

William Wallace Graves (26) was
born about 1791 in NC, and died in 1863 in Greene Co., MO. He married Nancy Harvey on 18 Nov. 1813
in Greene Co., MO. She was born
about 1796 in NC, and died after 1870 in Greene Co., MO; as recorded on the
1860 census, she was living with daughter Nancy in Center Twp., Greene Co., MO,
age 74. They were both listed on
the 1850 Clay Co., MO census living next to their son Richard. They were also listed on the 1860
Greene Co., MO census in Center Twp.
Living with them was their daughter Nancy Grimet [sic] and grandchildren
Hannah Kimmons, age 7, Margaret Grimet, age 2, and James Grimet, age 1. They were both buried in Prospect Cem.,
Plano, Greene Co., MO. Their
children were born in Indiana.
According to R‑50, Samuel and
Rachel Luther Graves preserved a letter from William written in 1850 from
Greene Co., MO. The letter
identified a brother Richard, then living in the West, a son Joel and daughter
Nancy. He sent greetings to his
relatives still in NC: his mother, then living with Samuel, his brother Samuel
and family, his brother Leonard and family, brother-in-law Joel Lucas and
family, and brother Benjamin Graves.
There is some question that the
John Graves below is the son of this William Graves. (R‑23, R‑25, R‑34, R‑44, R‑50)

Benjamin Graves (27) was born about
1795, according to census records, and died after 22 Aug. 1871 in Montgomery
Co., NC. He first married
Elizabeth Graves on 25 April 1822 in Randolph Co., NC Bondsman was Richard Graves. She was not listed on the 1850 census; however Nancy
Woolever is shown as age 30, living with the family. He married second Nancy Woolever on 29 (or 26) Aug. 1852. She was born about 1820 and died about
1859. She was a daughter of Henry
Woolever and Anna Barbary Luther, who were married in 1810. Nancy filed for divorce in Feb. 1856 in
Montgomery Co., NC claiming “her said husband commenced a course of cruel treatment
towards her and actually beat and abused her so badly that she was compelled on
several occasions to leave her home and family”; the divorce was granted 11
Sept. 1858 “after a full investigation of the entire case, we unanimously
agreed, and do hereby render our award to be “That the defendant do pay the
plaintiff, nothing, and that the plaintiff Nancy Graves do pay all the costs of
said suit.”
The children of Henry and Anna were

She married Joseph Mullen Nicholson, son of Zachariah D. Nicholson and
his second wife Sarah Mary Harvey (she may just have been named Sarah, but was
called Mary by her family) (or Elisabeth Pritchard per R‑29), in 1816 in
Randolph Co., NC. He was born 4
Jan. 1795 in Randolph Co., NC, and died 21 March 1876 in Wood Twp., IN. They were both buried in Pleasant Ridge

They moved from North Carolina to
Indiana in 1816. Joseph was a
Quaker but later joined the Christian Church of Greenville, IN. Their first 3 children were born in

John Graves (29) was born about
1800 in Troy, Montgomery Co., NC (just a few miles south of the Randolph Co.
line), and died 24 April 1843 near Harmony, Van Buren Twp., Clay Co., IN. According to R‑50, John was born
on the family’s home farm in Randolph Co.
He married Mary (“Polly”) Smitherman, daughter of Samuel Smitherman and
Margaret ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 7 Oct. 1824 in Randolph
Co., NC (Book 1, p. 97); Bondsman was Stephen Lowder[milk], and Hugh McCain was
the witness to the ceremony. Polly
was born in 1805 in Troy, and died 17 Dec. 1847 near Harmony, IN. Some information on the Smitherman
family originally taken from Pinhook to
Brazil appears to be incorrect; it has been amended by subsequent research
documented by R‑17. However,
the quoted material from the book remains (with some corrections) in the next
paragraph. According to The Heritage of Montgomery County North
Carolina 1981, Samuel Smitherman had two sons, Jesse Cox Smitherman, b. 11
May 1818, died 12 Dec. 1883, and Noah Smitherman, b. 1806, died 28 Feb.
1876. R‑17’s research
included will information for Samuel Smitherman with the list of his
children: Jesse Smitherman, Noah
Smitherman, Nancy Smitherman Spencer (wife of Harbert/Herbert Spencer), and
Mary Smitherman Graves.
According to Nelle Hubbard in Pinhook to Brazil: “After the death of
Noah Smitherman in Troy, NC, my grandmother, Rebecca Graves Hendrix, received a
notice, as well as her brothers and sisters, alike, to appear in North
Carolina, and to claim their share of the estate of Noah Smitherman as he had
left a fortune, and it was to be divided.
As the daughter, Nancy [sic] Smitherman Graves, had preceded her father
in death, her share was inherited by her children. [Samuel
Smitherman, Polly’s father, died in May 1836 and did not die before her.] At the time they were to go my
grandmother was sick, so Grandfather John Hendrix represented his wife, then
with 6 of the Graves children they traveled to Troy, NC, and were given their
proportionate shares, and they returned home with all gold money as that was
the way of settlement. Their
valises were very heavy and full of gold.
This was such a thrill for the sons and daughters that the story will be
carried along through generations.”
The 1850 census for Van Buren Twp.,
Clay Co., IN, lists their children Margaret and John W. in the household of
George and Elizabeth Cornwell, dwelling 114, page 300, children Noah and Sarah
in the household of their sister [Mary] Jane Williams, dwelling 123, page 301,
and Samuel with his sister Nancy Douglas’s family in Dick Johnson, Clay Co.,
IN. A Noah Graves, age 8, born
Indiana, was also recorded with them; this is probably a second entry for the
Noah below. All the children were
born in Indiana. (R‑17, R‑28,
R‑35, R‑40, R‑50, R‑201, R‑205)

225. Jesse Smitherman Graves, b. 30 July 1842 (Clay Co., IN), never married. He traveled through the Southwest, died, and was buried in that part of the country.
Leonard Graves (30) was born about
1806 in NC and died in Indiana. He
married Sally Luther, daughter of Jacob Luther, Jr. and Rachel Callicott, on 18
Aug. 1827 in Randolph Co., NC. She
was born about 1812 in NC. This
family was listed in the 1840 census of Montgomery Co., NC. Leonard sold land to this
brother-in-law, Joel Lucas, in 1850 in Montgomery Co., NC, then he and Sally
went “West” to Indiana from Randolph Co., NC after 1850.
None of this family has yet been
found in the 1850 census. Irvin is
believed to be a son because he was living with Samuel Graves in the 1860
census for Washington Twp., Cedar Co., MO, and Wilburn was living in the same
township in 1870, 1880 and 1900.
All their children were born in NC.
It is believed by some that a
daughter was Rachel Graves of genealogy 55, and John Franklin Graves of
genealogy 30 might have been another son.

They lived in Montgomery Co., NC prior to moving to Boone Co., IN. They are listed in the 1850 and 1860
censuses for Montgomery Co., NC and the 1870 census for Boone Co., IN. Their children were born in NC. (R‑44, R‑50)

Richard Graves, Jr. (32) was born
about 1810 in NC, and died after 1880.
He married Agnes (“Agga”) Graves (#254), daughter of Leonard Graves, Jr.
(#35) and Mary Jordan Callicott, on 23 Nov. 1833 in Randolph Co., NC as
recorded in the Randolph County Marriage Bonds List, Book 1, p. 97, and,
according to R‑50, as stated in a letter written by Martha Jansen in 1967. Samuel Graves was the bondsmen and Hugh
McCain the witness. Agnes Graves
was born about 1818 in NC, and died after 1878 in Montgomery Co., IN. R‑50 states Richard and Agnes
moved before 1836 to Montgomery Co., IN.
She also states that this Richard was often confused with Richard (#38),
son of Leonard Graves, Sr.
The family settled in Scott Twp.,
Montgomery Co., IN. Agnes and
Richard apparently divorced between 1860 and 1870. When the Atlas of
Montgomery County, Indiana was printed in 1878, Agnes and her son John
lived on the family farm. Agnes
was listed as Agnes “Granes” on the Family
Search (LDS) 1880 United States Census and
National Index living in Clark, Montgomery Co., IN. She was a 60-year old divorcée, born
about 1820, still living with her widowed son, John. Richard married second Sarah A. Bryant on 4 Oct. 1867 in
Clay Co., IN. Sarah was born about
1845 in Indiana; her parents were born in NC. They were recorded in the 1870 and 1880 censuses in Clark,
Montgomery Co., IN. (R‑50, R‑44,

Hannah Fincher Graves, were living with him by 1840, and in 1841 they deeded
the family lands, including several adjoining tracts (totaling 664 acres) on
the Little River, and a slave woman Mary to him, retaining only a life interest
in the property.
The following children were listed
in the 1850 census for Randolph Co., except for Agnes who was born later. Much of this information is from Miss
Ruth Ann Shaw, 1742 Pleasant St., Asheboro, NC 27203, who has the family Bible
of Samuel Graves, and from Martha Prevost who copied Randolph Co., NC marriage
bonds for R‑7.
All the children were born in
Pisgah, Randolph Co., NC. Only
Benjamin and Margaret produced grandchildren; the other children left no
descendants. (R‑7, R‑10,
R‑31, R‑35, R-50, R‑201, R‑202, R‑210)

Leonard Graves, Jr., (35) was born
about 1796 in NC, and died in 1860[11]. According to R‑44, this Leonard
is found to be Leonard Graves Esquire in the 1850 census and she was unable to
identify his parents. He married
Mary Jordan Calicott, daughter of Jordan Callicott and Agnes Callicott, about
1815 to 1817. She was born about
1797 in Randolph Co., NC, and died in 1866[12]
in Montgomery Co., IN. Leonard and
his family arrived in IN from Randolph Co., NC in 1836. This family was listed on the 1850

were all single and living together in Richland Twp., Randolph Co., NC, page
205C, next door to John Franklin Graves (#819), a distant cousin, and his wife
Lousada. Although R‑50 also
lists Cornelius Boling, b.c. 1826 as a son of this family, that is wrong; Cornelius
was a brother of Westward Boling (as stated in estate papers) and a son of a
John Boling found in Randolph Co., NC[13]. (R‑50)

From the History of Lawrence, Orange & Washington Counties, Indiana, by
Goodspeed Brothers & Company, Chicago, 1884, page 893, Pierce Township,
Washington County, Ind., Biographical Sketches:
"THOMAS GRAVES, the seventh of
a family of eleven children born to John and Margaret (Brookshire) Graves, who
were natives of Randolph Co., North Carolina, was born April 21, 1823, in the
same county as his parents. In
1849 the family came to Washington County, Indiana, and here the parents of our
subject died. Thomas Graves remained
on a farm in Montgomery County, this state, until about twenty-six years of
age, in youth receiving only such education as was obtainable at that early
day. March 14, 1850, his marriage
with Amanda Cravens was solemnized, and two children were born to them, only
one - William A., who was born August 18, 1851 and married Mary Elrod, yet
living; James A., born Aug. 27, 1854, and died April 1, 1860, is the one
deceased. July 3, 1865, the mother
died, and November 22, 1866, Mr. Graves married Elizabeth Baker, by whom he was
the father of these two children: Clara E., born Feb. 14, 1869, and Woodford,
born January 5, 1874, died October 16, 1878. As a farmer Mr. Graves has been hard-working and economical,
and by industry has secured 500 acres of land. In politics he acts in harmony with the Republican party,
whose principles he advocates."
The birth date given in this sketch
does not agree with that on his tombstone, so the tombstone date of April 23,
1821 was used in a DAR application.
John Cravens, father of Amanda
Cravens, died Nov. 15, 1879, age 83 years, 7 months, 12 days, according to
Hardin Family Cemetery, Madison Township, Washington Co., IN, copied by Mrs.

Henry’s nephew Henry Marshall Graves (#328). They were married on 8 Feb. 1855 in Boone Co., IA. Survilla was born in 1837 in IL, died
in 1889, and was also buried in the Fairview Cem. This double-cousin relationship made the two families very
close. Before 1859 Henry Graves
started to farm close to Madrid (then known as Swede Point), IA. It was there that Henry Marshall Graves
headed when he decided to leave Clay Co., IN, and Henry Marshall worked as a
hand for his uncle Henry until he went to war. ‘Sourvillia’ [sic] was listed on the 1880 census in Douglas,
Boone Co., IA with children John M., Henry D., Sylphia, Lorena and Sarah; the
children were born in IA. Alvine

CHILDREN OF MARY ANN GRAVES (13) AND STEPHEN A. LOWDERMILK
Elizabeth Ann Lowdermilk (79) was
born 30 March 1813 in Randolph Co., NC, and died 19 Feb. 1893 in Clay Co.,
IN. She married John T. Tucker,
son of Nathaniel T. Tucker and Martha (“Pattie”) Lawrence, on 20 Nov. 1830 in
Randolph Co., NC. He was born 21
June 1810 in Montgomery Co., NC, and died 5 Oct. 1880 in Clay Co., IN. They were both buried on the Grandma
Tucker place, south of State Road 46, one mile west of Cory on what is now the
McIntosh farm in Clay Co., IN.
Their grave has a large stone surrounded by a strong fence of iron pipe,
and the inscription is still legible.
John learned the trade of
blacksmith in Montgomery Co., NC.
He moved to Indiana around 1831, along with his father-in-law Stephen A.
Lowdermilk, making an overland trip in a wagon drawn by six horses. He took with him his bride and all his
worldly possessions.
He purchased 80 acres in Jackson
Twp., when the land was still primeval wilderness (see p. 423, History of Clay Co., by Travis).
He built a log cabin of the typical
pioneer style with stick and clay, a chimney, a roof that was covered with
rived boards, and no door, using a quilt in its place.
One night while John was away,
wolves came and tried to get his calf, but Elizabeth went out and scared the
wolves into leaving. John is
credited with planting the first orchard in the area. He was both a farmer and a blacksmith.
John’s father was General Nathaniel
Tucker. There are some discrepancies
regarding Nathaniel. The History of Clay Co. states: “He was, as
far as known, a life-long resident of Montgomery Co., NC.” However, Dorothy Clark (a local Clay
Co. historian), in an article of 15 Jan. 1961, says, “He came to Indiana with
his son and others in 1830.”
Dorothy Clark is believed to be in error. There are also many references
to Nathaniel Tucker being a General in the War of 1812. In the book Muster Rolls of the Soldiers of the War of 1812: Detached from the
Militia of N.C. in 1812 and 1814 is found an entry with the following
information: Number: 1, Name: Nathaniel Tucker, Rank: Captain, Name of
Federally Detached Unit: 1st Brigade, 4th Regt., 6th
Co. Nathaniel’s father was William
and his mother was Matilda. (R‑6,

Methodist church, during Rev. A. W. Wood's pastorate she changed her membership
to that church and though she was not a regular attendant, she was a devoted christian. She was a loving wife and mother whose
only thought in life was the welfare of her children. No sacrifice was too great for her to make for them. She has gone to join her father, mother
and brother in a land where there is no suffering.

Sarah Lee (“Sallie”) Brookshire
(185) was born 5 May 1823 in Rutherford Co., TN, and died 21 March 1896 in
Roby, Fisher Co., TX. She married
Andrew Young Haynes, son of John Haynes and Nancy Nelson, on 19 Jan. 1841 in
Morgan Co., AL. He was born 17
July 1812 in SC, and died 6 Oct. 1900 in Roby, Fisher Co., TX. They were both buried in the Roby Cem.,
Fisher Co., TX. Their gravestone
inscriptions[31] are: A. Y.
Haynes, 7/17/1812-10/6/1900, S. L. wife of A. Y. Haynes, 5/5/1823-3/21/1896,
“Our father & mother are gone, They lie beneath the sod. Dear parents
though we miss you much, We know you rest with God.”
Andrew Young Haynes first married
Amelia B. Johnston on 4 June 1837 in Carroll, MS as recorded in “Hunting for
Bears, Inc.,” Attala Co., MS, 1892-1900.
They had two children: one born in 1838 and one born in 1840. Both
children died at birth. The
information regarding Andrew Young Haynes being Cherokee Indian has not yet
been proven, but it does appear that he was part Cherokee. He had a college education and was a
large land owner in the Shenandoah Valley. The story that has been told is that he left Tennessee to
escape “The Trail of Tears”. They
supposedly lived for many years in Blount Co., AL, and then moved to Pontotoc,
Mississippi. They were recorded on
the 1850 census in Pontotoc Co., MS.
They lived near a trading place called Tupelo, MS. (However, since only their second child
was born in Blount Co., AL, it looks as if they only lived there a short
time.) In 1871 they moved the
family to Ferris, Ellis Co., TX by wagon train. They lived in Ellis Co., then purchased eight sections of
land in Fisher Co., TX.
Andrew Young Haynes was known to
have been a man of very few words, but he often spoke with bitterness about the
U.S. breaking the treaty with the Indians. He continued to wear his Indian blanket and to raise paint
horses as long as he lived. He
taught his sons never to take land from the U.S. government because if they did
they would lose their freedom.
Andrew and three sons went to
Fisher Co., TX in 1880. Alexander
Graves, son of Andrew, owned the land north of what is now Main Street in
Rotan. The other two sons that
purchased land in Fisher Co. at that time were Harper and Warren Haynes.
The Haynes brothers built the
Alright school house, which was later destroyed by fire. They then built the White Flat school
house. This building was used as a
church. When the Haynes land was
sold, the railroad purchased a large number of acres. After the death of Sarah Haynes, Andrew went to live with
Alexandra Graves Haynes in Fisher Co., TX.
It is told that the Haynes children
went to Muskogee, OK, to testify before the Dawes Commission to try to regain
some land by proving their Indian heritage. Georgia Haynes Davis testified on 15 Dec. 1902. At the end of Georgia’s testimony, the
following statement appeared:
“This applicant has the appearance of being descended from white
parentage; has brown hair, grey eyes, medium fair complexion; does not
understand the Choctaw language and has no knowledge of any compliance on the
part of her Choctaw ancestors.” Her
testimony along with that of her siblings is recorded on film in the National
Archives.
This family was recorded on the
1850 census in Pontotoc Co., MS, Roll M432-380, p. 110B, the 1860 census in
Ellistown, Pontotoc Co., MS, Roll M655-540, p. 117, the 1870 census in
Ellistown, Lee Co., MS, Roll M593-736, p. 416, and the 1880 census in Precinct
2, Ellis Co., TX. Children

Graves? Franklin Graves was in IN

James boys plowed the fields for the Graves farm until they started on their
infamous journey robbing trains.

CHILDREN OF BENJAMIN GRAVES (27)
Richard Graves (197) was born about
1828-1832 in Randolph Co. (or Montgomery Co.), NC. He lived in Randolph Co., enlisted 8 March 1862 in Co. I, 22nd
Regt., NC Troops, C.S.A., as a private, and died on or about 20 June 1862 at or
near Danville, VA of measles (“rubeola”), after the Battle of Seven Pines.
He died probably 1-1/2 miles
southwest of what is now downtown Danville. According to F. Lawrence McFall, Jr., of Danville, Richard
was wounded and contracted rubeola in a field hospital. Even though 750 Confederate troops died
there, there is presently no monument, and the area was bulldozed in the 1930’s
for a middle-class housing development.
Richard married Nancy Jane Purdue,
called Jane. She was born in May
1827 in Cheraw, Chesterfield Co., SC, died after 1901, and was buried in Big
Oak Church, Montgomery Co., NC.
According to the 1900 census, she had five children and four were
living. She first married ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Purvis (?).
Jane had to struggle for survival,
farming to keep the children and herself alive. The youngest daughter of Jane’s granddaughter, Louzinia
Lucas’s Ida, tells of when Jane had to go for supplies (i.e., food staples)
during the Civil War years. On the
way home Jane was stopped by soldiers who planned to take her supplies. Jane pleaded with them, saying that she
had little children to feed and they would starve. Ida Lucas said that the soldier in charge made the men let
Jane go when Jane said that her husband was away fighting the war just like
them. Jane applied for Widow’s
Pension Act of 1885 and 1901; both were approved.
Their children were born in
Montgomery Co., NC.
They were listed on the 1870 census
for Richmond, Randolph Co., NC, living near Tyson Boling and Charles H.
Boling. (R‑14)

1915[34],
and was buried in the Providence Baptist Church Cem., Pageland, Chesterfield
Co., SC. This family was recorded
on the 1860 census in Montgomery Co., NC; their children were born in NC. By 1870, Synthia had returned to her

SC. In 1880, Synthia and Benjamin
lived together in Mt. Croghan, Chesterfield Co., SC. In 1900, she was recorded on the census with son Benjamin’s

Nancy Ann Graves (218) was born 7
May 1829 and died 11 March 1892, both in Clay Co., IN. She first married James A. Douglas on
24 Feb. 1848 in Indiana. His first
wife was Lydia Hendrix, the mother of two boys, and the daughter of John
Hendrix, Sr. Nancy Ann Graves was
a sister of Rebecca, who married John Hendrix, Jr. Nancy raised the two children left motherless by the death
of Lydia, one of whom was probably Alexander, shown with them on the 1850
census. James Douglas died 5 Dec.
1864. According to Pinhook to Brazil, they had nine
children, three of whom had died before James’ death. Also living with Nancy and James at the time of the 1850
census in Jackson Twp., Clay Co., IN were her brothers, Noah Graves, age 8 and
Samuel Graves, age 22, both born in Indiana.
Nancy Ann married second George
Williams, son of George Williams and Sarah Presnell, on 12 Sept. 1866 in Clay
Co., IN. He married first Hannah ‑‑‑‑‑‑;
they were recorded on the 1860 census in Van Buren, Clay Co., IN with their
three children. He was born about
1831 in NC, and died 12 Aug. 1872.
Nancy and George were recorded on the 1870 census in Van Buren, IN with
children Theodore, 16, Sarah E., 12, Mary E., 9, Charles, 6, and Raney,
10/12. All were listed with the
surname Williams. She married for
the third time Joseph P. Montgomery on 30 Jan. 1878 in Clay Co., IN. He had 5 children by a former
marriage. Thus she served as a
mother to 22 children, as she reared another child with no family ties. There were 6 other children that she
cared for over long periods, and it was always stated that she mothered 28
children.
She united with the United Brethren
church in 1869, and always remained a constant worker. The church stands today, serving the
younger generations, in what was called Benwood. Her funeral services were held at the Mt. Lebanon church,
conducted by the Rev. J. W. Nye. A
large audience attested to the high esteem in which she was held by the
community. Interment was in the
Brazil cemetery.
The vicinity of Benwood and all
that part of Van Buren township, Clay Co., IN, was settled by the parents of
the Graveses and Williamses, who have been life-long friends of the Hendrixes;
their families intermarried. The
ancestors came from the Carolinas at about the same time, and they were from the
same communities in the Carolinas and Virginia. The family members also fought in the Rev. War
together. (R‑17, R‑32,

James W. Graves (219) was born 22
Jan. 1831 in Clay Co., IN, and died 6 Sept. 1892 in Reelsville, Putnam Co.,
IN. He married Martha Elizabeth
Lawson, called Elizabeth or Betsey, on 17 Nov. 1853 in Greencastle, Putnam Co.,
IN. She was born in July 1835 in
Indiana, and died 4 Oct. 1894 in Harmony, Clay Co., IN. Their children were born in Clay Co.,
IN.
According to his pension file from
the National Archives, James Graves enlisted in the Civil War at Indianapolis,
IN and was enrolled on 8 Feb. 1864 in Co. B, 148th Regt., Indiana
infantry as a private. This unit
was commanded by Colonel Ruckle.
James was honorably discharged at Indianapolis on 5 Sept. 1865. His papers indicated that James was
disabled by chronic diarrhea around July 1864 in Tennessee. When he applied for his pension, he was
still suffering from “Chronic Diarrhea, Piles, and disease of one of his
legs”. After James’ death, while
she was living in Washington Twp., Putnam Co., IN, Elizabeth applied for a
widow’s pension. Two children were
living with her at that time, a minor daughter Elizabeth, probably the Lizzie
born in 1878, and Laura Graves.
After her mother’s death in 1894, Elizabeth applied for the pension on
the grounds that she was still a minor child of James and Elizabeth Graves; at
that time daughter Elizabeth was married to G. Thomas.
According to R‑18, there is a
family story that Jesse James and his outlaw gang visited the Clay Co. farm of
James and Elizabeth to water their horses. They were friendly and didn’t cause any trouble for the
Graves family. (R‑17, R‑18,

Rebecca Smitherman Graves (220) was
born 11 Jan. 1833 in Clay Co., IN, and died 29 July 1883. According to R‑17, Rebecca’s tombstone
reads “Rebecca F. Graves dau. of J.& M. Graves - wife of John
Hendrix, b. 1/11/1833 d. 7/29/1883”.
There seems to be no proof that her middle name was Smitherman as stated
in Pinhook to Brazil. She married John Hendrix, Jr., fourth
child of John Hendrix and Nancy Whitaker, on 1 April 1852. He was born 29 Feb. 1828 in Wayne Co.,
IN, four miles south of Centerville, IN, and died 11 May 1910.
He was a man of high principles,
honest in all his dealings and loved by all, and had a host of acquaintances. He started as a blacksmith, was later a
manufacturer, and was finally a merchant, having the largest and most complete
hardware store in Brazil, in partnership with his brother, Eli. Both John and Rebecca belonged to the
Presbyterian Church and were very liberal in their donations and entertainment
of the visiting clergy. His
father, John, Sr., was the foundation stone of the first church, and through
his generosity the church survived the long, fought-for existence.
John, Jr., possessed quick, decisive
judgement, was of a nervous temperament, and his answers of “yes” or “no” were
demanded. His large credit
business, established with few losses, show him to be a man of talent.
After Rebecca’s death, he married a
school teacher, Miss Mary Carter, in 1885. She outlived him by many years, passing away in Aug. 1928,
with burial at Highland Lawn, Terre Haute, IN. They had no children, but reared a niece, Lucy Hendrix,
daughter of Frank Hendrix. (R‑17,

Noah Smitherman Graves (222) was
born 6 March 1836 (or 1838) on the farm near Harmony, Clay Co., IN, that was
taken up as government land. The
land was still owned in 1936 by his descendants. Quite a settlement of the families of the brothers and
sisters is (or was) in and around the town of Benwood. Although Noah moved away to Kansas, he
continued to be very attached to the old home place. He died 16 Jan. 1884 and was buried in Maple Hill, Wabaunsee
Co., KS.
He married Laura Eugenia Barns in
1867. She was born 14 June 1850 in
Baltimore, MD, and died in Feb. 1933 at her daughter Dora’s home in Vero,
FL.. After their marriage they
lived in Brazil, IN, then later moved to Kansas City, MO. Laura’s family were early settlers near
the town of Harmony, IN.
He was listed twice on the 1850
census: once as age 8 census
living with his sister Nancy Graves Douglas’ family in Dick Johnson, Clay Co.,
IN, and second as age 12 living with his sister [Mary] Jane Williams’ family,
in Van Buren, Clay Co., IN . Noah
and Laura were recorded on the 1870 census in Soldier, Shawnee Co., KS, where
he was listed as age 32, and the 1880 census in Maple Hill, KS where he was
listed as age 42.
After Noah’s death, Laura married
Allen Reed about 1887. To them was
born one daughter, Constance, born 3 May 1888, who married Anthony Wayne Miller
of Kansas City, MO. They adopted
two children and lived in Vero, FL.

John Wesley Graves (223) was born
28 Jan. 1840 in Clay Co., IN, died 29 Aug. 1923 in Douglass, Butler Co., KS,
and was buried in City Cem., Douglass, KS. He married Evaline Stoner Wells of Greencastle, IN on 9 Nov.
1865. She was known as Eva. This family pioneered in the state of
Kansas. The farm that they bought
proved to be over an oil pool and brought them much money.
In John W. Graves’ Declaration for
Pension Papers for his Civil War service, dated 10 Feb. 1915, he stated he was
living in Harmony, IN at the time he enrolled. He enlisted in Indianapolis, IN on 11 Nov. 1864 as a private
in Co. B, 2nd Regt. of the Indiana Cavalry. He was honorably discharged in
Edgfield, TN on 22 July 1865. His
enlistment record stated he was 24 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, his
complexion was “dark”, eyes were “black”, and his hair was “black”. The record also stated that he lived in
Putnam Co., IN from July 1865 until Nov. 1867, Topeka, KS from Nov. 1867 until
Jan. 1868, and then moved to Douglass, KS and lived there until his death. When asked on his application if he had
any children living, he listed only 25-year old William P. Graves and Chloe A.

Sarah Ellen Graves (224) was born
28 Jan. 1840 in Clay Co., IN, and died 20 Feb. 1904 in Granite, VA. She first married William F. Gaylord on
8 July 1860 in Clay Co., IN. He
was a soldier in the Civil War and was killed in battle. They may not have had any
children. She married second Henry
Hendrix, ninth child of John Hendrix and Nancy Whitaker, in Jan. 1863. He was born 5 April 1841 in Wayne Co.,
IN, four miles south of Centerville, IN, and died 11 April 1920 at Johnson
City, Washington Co., TN.
Henry was of the Whitaker type (his
grandmother’s family), large of bone, light complexion, blue eyes, loved to
read, and a good trader. He was a
good blacksmith and machinist. He
was in the carriage manufacturing business for years in Brazil, Clay Co.,
IN. His loss of hearing, which
seems to be hereditary in the Hendrix family, caused him to sell his
business. He purchased a large
acreage in Virginia, near Crewe, Nottoway Co., and moved his family there.
He was a member of Gen. Lew
Wallace’s Zouaves, the old 11th Regt., serving in Co. D, under Capt.
Jabez Smith. After serving this Regiment and getting a discharge, he again
enlisted in the 78th and was in the battle of Union Town, KY, where
he was taken prisoner. After hard
fighting, Capt. Tilghman A. Howard was killed, and to this loss the company
became panic-stricken, retreated and finally surrendered. Henry was a great traveler and covered
territory all over the U.S. He was
known far and wide, with a host of friends. (R‑205)

CHILDREN OF LEONARD GRAVES AND SALLY LUTHER
Samuel Graves (226) was born about
1837 in NC, probably died 1860-1870, perhaps in the Civil War, and was buried
in the Springfield National Cem.
He married Mary Ann Samsel, daughter of John Devault Samsel and
Elizabeth Wolfe, on 14 April 1853 in Lawrence Co., MO. She was born about 1838 in TN, and died
2 Jan. 1874 in Cedar Co., MO (probate record). Wilburn E. Graves was the administrator of the estate of
Mary Ann Samsel Graves in 1874.
The 1850 census for Grainger Co.,
TN, lists Mary Samsel, age 10, with parents Peter and Elizabeth Samsel. Genealogies submitted to Ancestry.com’s
World Tree give George Peter Samsel and Catherine Elizabeth Shelton as her
parents. However, living next to
Samuel Graves and Mary in the 1860 census for Stockton, Washington Twp., Cedar
Co., MO, is the family of John D. Sampsell and Elizabeth (perhaps Elizabeth
remarried). The 1870 census shows
Mary and her 3 children still living in Washington Twp., Cedar Co., MO. Samuel was a farmer. All their children were born in
MO. (R‑101)

CHILDREN OF SAMUEL GRAVES (33) AND RACHEL LUTHER
Benjamin Franklin Graves (247),
called Franklin, was born 12 Aug. 1838 in Randolph Co., NC, died 5 (or 4) July
1890 near Leeper, McClain Co., OK (formerly Pontotoc Co., Chickasaw Nation,
Indian Territory), and was buried near Leeper.
He married Sarah Ellen Wintersteen
(or Winterstein), called Ellen, daughter of Jacob (“Jake”) Wintersteen (or
Christian Winterstein and Mary Klepper per R‑13), on 18 Aug. 1864 in New
Albany, Clark Co., IN. The
marriage license was issued 15 Aug. 1864, and they were married by Philip
Bevan. She was born 18 July 1847
(or 1841) in KY (or TN) (her death certificate says 1847 in KY), died 3 Jan.
1929 in Rising Star, Eastland Co., Texas, and was buried in Rising Star City
Cem. According to the 1860 Clark
Co., IN census, Christian Winterstein was born in Germany and his wife Mary was
born in Tennessee.
Their children, except for the last
one who was born in Rising Star, TX, were born in Indiana, probably all at New
Albany. The information on their
children was copied from Albert Graves’ Bible and sent by Hazel Bucy Brown and
Florence C. Graves.
Benjamin may be placed in Randolph
Co., NC in 1856 and in Goldsboro, NC in May 1862. He moved from Randolph Co., NC to IN where he worked on the
Joseph M. Nicholson farm until he was 21 years of age. The Nicholson farm was aout 15 miles
northwest of New Albany, IN, not far from where other members of the Graves
family had settled. He and his
family then migrated from IN to Rising Star, TX in 1884 in company with other
Graves relatives. The group
traveled by railroad as far as Cisco, TX and by wagons on to Rising Star.
From Rising Star, TX, Ben then went
to Oklahoma where, on 5 July 1890, he was shot and killed. The following accounts were printed in The Territorial Topic, Purcell,
Chickasaw Nation, Indian Territory.
On p. 4, col. 4: “Attorneys Johnson
and Galbrath of Oklahoma City are here defending the Graves boys for the
killing of their father’s slayer, Henry Bowden.”
On p. 5, col. 6: “On last Saturday
near Leeper, W. G. Graves [sic] was shot by Henry Bowden, and the latter by Sam
Graves, both the injured men dying within two hours. All the parties were from Rising Star, Texas, and had been
cropping together on the Jones place.
Some difficulty arose between them in regard to the crop. Bowden borrowed a winchester from a
neighbor on Saturday morning and went to the field where two of the Graves boys
were engaged in plowing cotton.
Here he met the old man, who had been out riding and had with him a shot
gun that he always carried for the purpose of shooting small game. They were joined by the boys and a
heated discussion arose, in the course of which hard names were passed and
Bowden attempted to shoot when the boys seized the gun. In the scuffle that ensued the gun was
discharged, the bullet striking the old man with fatal effect. Bowden managed to fire two more shots
without damage before the gun was taken from him. One of the boys took the father’s shot gun and fired both
loads in the air that it might not be used against them. Bowden then advanced upon Sam Graves,
who had his gun, evidently bent upon doing him damage, when Graves’ brother
called to him to shoot him, which he did, inflicting the wounds from which he
died later.
Mr. Graves was a highly respected
gentleman about fifty years of age and leaves a wife and large family. He was a member of the Masonic order
and was buried on Sunday. Bowden,
who was about twenty-five years old and single, was also buried Sunday. The parties had been working together
about five years.”
On p. 5, col. 6, issue of July 17,
1890: “Court Notes. In Judge Hocker’s court last Saturday George and Sam Graves
were committed to Paris jail for the killing of Henry Bowden at Leeper, July 5th.”
Character papers were signed by
friends and neighbors to exonerate the two boys. This notarized document was sent from Washington Co.,
Indiana, and it was signed by residents of Washington, Floyd, and Clark counties
in Indiana. This document was in
the possession of Woodrow W. Harris, now deceased.
Purcell was in Indian Territory,
being south of the dividing boundary of Oklahoma Territory and Indian
Territory. Criminal cases from the
district where Purcell was located were tried in Paris, Texas. The repository for the trial records
burned in 1916. No duplicate
records exist. (R‑7, R‑10,

and 28 days, however, the Montgomery Co. Health Dept. death record gives her
date of death as 20 Feb. 1896, age 77 although the handwriting is difficult to
read. Recorded on her death record
were her parents, Leonard Graves and Mary Callicott of NC. She married Drake Brookshire, son of
Joel Brookshire and Sarah Slack (or Slock), on 9 Nov. 1841 in Montgomery Co.,

was listed as the wife 1850-1870, born NC, and the wife was listed as Mary in
1880, born NC with the approximate age that Sarah would have been, so perhaps
there was a recording error. (R‑44,

William H. Graves (286) was born 22
June 1843 and died 2 April 1911.
He married Alice A. Motsinger, daughter of David Motsinger and Lydia Ann
Moore, on 4 Aug. 1870. She was born 20 Aug. 1851 in IN, and died 1 Nov. 1902 in
Washington Co., IN. They were in
the 1880 and 1900 censuses for Jackson Twp., Washington Co., IN. In 1870, Alice, 18, was living with her
parents in Polk Twp., Washington Co., IN.
In the same township was William H. Graves, 24, miller, living with the
family of Manassah Graybill, 49, miller.
Although there is not absolute proof that this is the William H. Graves
who married Alice Motsinger, and that he was the one who was a son of Richard
Graves and Jane Williams, the circumstantial evidence is very strong. Manassah Graybill’s wife was Mary
Graves, William’s aunt. A
Motsinger family (Nathan Motsinger) lived next to William’s uncle, Wade Graves,
in Washington Co., IN. William and
Alice lived in the same township in 1870, and in 1880 they were still living
nearby in the same county. (R‑41,

Solomon Tucker (341) was born 28
Oct. 1838 in Indiana, and died 9 Dec. 1915 in Cory, Clay Co., IN (Records H-1,
119, and M2-216). He married
Mariah Jane Stoops, daughter of William Stoops and Mary Ann Laycock, on 29
March 1865 in Clay Co., IN. She
was born 12 Oct. 1844 in Perry Twp., Clay Co., IN, and died 30 Jan. 1921 in
Cory, IN.
William Stoops was a son of Moses
Brown Stoops and Rebecca Porter who came from Clermont Co., OH. Mary Laycock, born in Ohio, was a
daughter of Reuben Laycock and Sarah Jordan. Mariah had 7 brothers and sisters: Francis Marion, Mary Melissa, Moses Brown, Maria J., William
Newton, John R., and Martha Belle Stoops.
Solomon and Mariah Jane Tucker had
an estate known as “The Lily Dale Farm.”
He was a stalwart Republican.
Solomon descended from two
prominent pioneer families of Clay Co., IN. He was a soldier in the Civil War, a successful farmer, and
an honored and respected resident of Perry Twp. For more information, see History of Clay Co. by Travis,
pages 415-530.
The 1896 Encyclopedic Dictionary of Clay Co. stated that he owned 120 acres
of land, received his mail from the Cory Post Office, was located 14 miles
south of the Court House, 2 miles south of the Post Office in Perry Twp., born
1837 in Vigo Co., and was a farmer.
From Margaret Tucker Asay: “On Sept. 5, 1861, Solomon enlisted in
Co. H, 31st Ind. Volunteer Infantry, was mustered in as Corporal
and, with the exception of 36 days that he was held prisoner of the enemy and
four weeks that he was confined to the hospital, he was with his regiment,
taking part in all its marches, campaigns, and battles, and with his
comrades. He was honorably
discharged 15 Sept. 1864.
At the Battle of Stone River, he
with 900 brave soldiers was captured and taken to Libby Prison, where he was
confined 16 days. He was then
transferred to City Point, from there being taken to Annapolis and then to
Indianapolis, where he was exchanged, after which he joined his command at
Cripple Creek, Tenn. The more
important engagements in which he participated were those at Fort Donelson,
where after being twice wounded, he was taken to the Marine Hospital at
Evansville, and continued there for four weeks. At Shiloh, where he had command of the headquarters of
General Crufts; the siege of Corenth; the battles of Inka, Perryville, and
Chickamauga; the various engagements during the march to Atlanta, and the siege
of that city. Very soon after the
capture of Atlanta, Solomon’s enlistment expired and he returned home. During his life as a soldier he did
service in Kentucky, Tenn., Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, and Virginia. He kept a diary giving minute details
of each day’s proceedings, and from it we find that he marched with his
comrades eighteen thousand, five hundred and sixty five miles. He was a farmer and a cabinet
maker.” (R‑9, R‑16)
