SAMUEL GRAVES

1630 Settler of Lynn, Massachusetts

and His Descendants

ANCESTRY OF SAMUEL GRAVES

The parents of Samuel Graves have not yet been found. However, it appears that he was from Norfolk or Lincolnshire, England. DNA analysis of descendants has shown that Samuel Graves was from the same family as Herbert Fletcher Graves of Lincolnshire (genealogy 428). That family lived at Chapel Hill and New York, Lincolnshire, about 8-10 miles northwest of Boston, Lincolnshire.

There has also been speculation that Samuel Graves was from King’s Lynn, Norfolk, based mainly on the supposition that Lynn, MA was named for King’s Lynn by one or more of the early settlers. That connection is now supported by the Graves DNA results. King’s Lynn is about 25 miles southeast of Boston.

GENERATION 1

Samuel Graves (1) was born in England. He came to America about 1630, possibly as part of the Endicott group of 1628 or the Winthrop fleet of 1630. According to one account, he sailed from Southampton, England in the early spring of 1630 to New England.

He took up residence at Lynn, Mass., on the turnpike west of Floating Bridge, and the neighborhood in which he lived was called "Graves End" or "Gravesend" for more than 200 years. It is now known as Glenmere.

The first homestead was taken down in 1648 and the present one (as of 1900) erected, which has been from time to time remodeled, but still retains the appearance of old-time architecture. The house was still occupied by descendants of the original settler, and Mrs. Jane Mansfield, a granddaughter of Rand Graves, celebrated her 99th birthday in the old place on 3 Dec. 1900.

Samuel Graves was a farmer and a man of wealth. In 1635 he gave about 300 pounds for the support of the Colonial Government. He had three sons, all born in England between 1620 and 1630. (R‑201)

GENERATION 2

CHILDREN OF SAMUEL GRAVES (1)

Thomas Graves (2) was born about 1620 in England, and was brought to America by his father in 1630. He married Hannah ‑‑‑‑‑‑, and they continued to live in Lynn, Mass. until his death 24 Jan. 1696/7. (There is some belief that her name was Hannah Simmons.)

His will dated 22 Jan. 1696/7, and probated 15 Feb. 1696/7, names all his children, and reminds them to "be tender and careful of their aged mother who hath been tender and industrious." He gave his lands to his three sons Samuel, Mark and Thomas, and small legacies in money to his daughters. He made his son Samuel his executor. Inventory of his estate: 125, 15, 00. Thomas gave his lands in Lynn, with houses, to his sons Samuel and Mark, except 3 acres (adjoining land purchased of Joseph Farr) to his son Thomas.

His occupation was that of mariner as well as farmer. He and Mark Graves testified at a session of the Court in 1653 to making several voyages in the boats of the Iron Works at Saugus to Boston, Weymouth, Braintree and Hingham, and in 1658 he testified that his boat carried seven tons of bar iron and delivered it to Mr. Hutchins. The iron works were in operation in 1643, the first in America. (R‑13, R‑201)

Mark Graves (3) was born about 1623 in England, and died about 1708-9 in Lynn, Essex Co., Mass. He was brought to America by his father in 1630. He first married Amy ‑‑‑‑‑‑, probably about 1648, in Andover, Essex Co., Mass. She was born about 1627, and died 20 Feb. 1665 in Andover. He lived in Lynn, Mass. until about 1658, when he moved to Andover. He secondly married Elizabeth Knights, daughter of William and Elizabeth Knights of Lynn, on 14 Nov. 1667 (according to Marriages in Andover, N.E. Hist. and Gen. Register, vol. III, no. 1, p. 66). She was born 1642 and died in 1705. She was the widow of John Farrington, a cooper, and at one time a resident of Marblehead, Mass. Mark Graves lived for a time at Ipswich in 1678, at Andover in 1683, at Manchester in 1686, at Andover again in 1690, and afterwards and until his death at Lynn.

From Ipswich Court Records of 1665, Essex County Quarterly Court Records: "Marke Graves, aged about 45 years, deposed that on 10:6:1665, about an hour before sunset, Hanah Hutchinson came to his house, his daughter only being home, and asked to borrow some strong liquor for the toothache. His daughter did not consent, and said Hanah told her that a cow of her father's was running away from their pasture, and she ran to tell her father who was at a neighbor's house, not far off, leaving said Hanah in the room where there was a bottle of liquor. Deponent found that his cow was in the pasture and the bottle was nearly empty. His wife said there was a quarter of a pint there, etc. Sworn 12:6:1665 before Simon Bradstreete.

Hanah Hutchinson said that the girl told her there was vinegar in the bottle, etc. Also that she would kill the child or herself, etc."

Hanah was severely whipped for lying, cursing and stealing.

From Salem Quarterly Court Records of June 1677: "Mark Graves, aged about fifty-five years, and Elizabeth, his wife, aged about thirty-seven years, deposed that since Hannah, wife of Mr. John Blaine died, said Blaine and six of his children came from Mr. Ralph King's to dwell at the farmhouse where deponents and they lived under one roof. When the children came they were decently clothed, but during the three quarters of a year that they lived there, he did not provide for them and they suffered very much, and had it not been for their friends through pity taking some of them from him and relieving them, they might have perished. They suffered both for food and raiment, and what money Blaine received for wood or timber or for the work of his team was spent in drink, he coming home late at night in a quarrelsome mood and distempered with drink. He had only one cow to provide for the family, etc. Amy, daughter of Mark Graves, aged about seventeen years, deposed the same. Sworn in court."

From Salem Quarterly Court Records of June 1682: "Mathew Farrington, Sr. v. Mark Graves. Verdict for plaintiff. Appealed to the next Court of Assistants. Defendant bound, with Henry Bailey and Phillip Fowler as sureties.

Writ: Matthew Farrington, Sr. v. Mark Graves, living at Mr. Hubard's farm at Ipswich; for not allowing him disbursements upon the tide mill and housing amounting to 20 li., for his part of said mill and housing being so much better at the end of the lease than when he entered upon it; signed by John Fuller, for the court and town of Lynn; and served by Henery Skerry, marshal of Salem, by attachment of a table and great chair of defendant..."

(See the discussion for #14, especially regarding children. There is some uncertainty about who belongs where.) He apparently married Goody ‑‑‑‑‑‑, since daughter Dorothy was baptized Sept. 21, 1684 in Beverly, Mass., “daughter of Goody Graves of Lynn Church, baptized here in communion of churches.” (R‑201)

62. James Laughton, b. 9 April 1690, d. 12 Feb. 1763.

Elizabeth Graves (12) was born about 1662 in Lynn, Essex Co., Mass. She married Thomas Brewer (or Bruer) on 4 Dec. 1682 in Lynn. Thomas was born about 1657, baptized 13 Nov. 1659, was aged over 14 in 1672, and died by 14 March 1709, perhaps by 10 Dec. 1706.

Thomas was the only son of Crispus Brewer of Boston and Lynn, Mass., born probably in England, about 1625-30, died in Lynn, Essex Co., Mass., between 10 Dec. 1706 and 23 Jan. 1707, intestate. He married, about 1652, Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑, who died in Lynn, 3 May 1693, intestate. Thomas's sister, Sarah, married Samuel Graves, brother of Elizabeth Graves.

Elizabeth was probably the widow Brewer who had a lame boy, 14 March 1708/9 (Lynn Town Records, 2:53). See Essex Antiquarian, 12:45, for more data.

In 1678, Thomas Brewer took the oath of allegiance in Lynn, vide ante. Note that, 14 Dec. 1697, "Voated that Thomas Brewer shall have ten pounds to help pay the doctor for his care"; granted to him six poles of town common to improve, 8 March 1698/99 (Lynn Town Records, 1:53, 60). The files also show that Thomas of Lynn took the oath 26 Feb. 1677, and that he owed Henry Collins 10 days work on the bridge in June 1682 (Essex Files, 6:399; 7:158; 8:364). 8 March 1699/1700, Thomas Brewer was to improve some land that he had worked on the last year (Lynn Town Records, 1:65).

All their children were born in Lynn, Mass. (R‑201, R‑205)

His wife Mary died 3 May 1693 in Lynn. It appears that there is more than one Crispus Brewer, and they have been confused with each other because of similar reported death dates.

70. John Brewer, b. 10 May 1700. Is this the "lame boy" referred to earlier? This may possibly be the John Brewer who married Mary Coats on 15 March 1722/23 in Lynn.

Abraham Graves (13) was born about 1649 at Lynn, Mass. He first married Anna Hayward on 28 June 1677 in Concord, Mass. He secondly married Sarah Dunton, daughter of Nathaniel Dunton of Andover, formerly of Reading, Mass., on 12 Sept. 1705. They lived at the south end of Andover, where he died 16 June 1729 at age 80. Sarah, his wife, died 21 June 1750 in Andover in her 91st year. (R‑10, R‑201, R‑206)

Capt. Ebenezer Graves (14) was born about 1651 in Lynn, Mass. He first married Mrs. Elizabeth (Stretton) Hopkins (her name also given as Eliphal Stratton), daughter of William Stretton and Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑, on 21 Aug. 1715 in Boston, Mass. She was born 26 April 1689 in Boston, died 15 April 1717, and was buried at Capps Hill Cem., Boston. He then married Sarah (Barrett) Howell, daughter of Samuel Barrett, on 14 Feb. 1718 in Boston. He died in Ireland in May 1719, while on a voyage. He was a mariner and owned shares of at least two ships. He lived in Boston. After he died, his widow Sarah married William Russell on 2 Oct. 1724.

There is some uncertainty concerning Ebenezer Graves, some of which is discussed in the following two articles from the Boston Transcript.

"Boston Transcript, Jan. 19, 1914.

*3254. 1. Graves, Hibbard. C.H.A., Dec. 29, 1913. Without wishing to be over critical, I think that the style of C.H.A., while entertaining, leaves us often in doubt as to what are put forward as facts and what as surmises merely.

There was an Ebenezer Graves, 'mariner' (captain of the John and William of Boston), who made his will in 1719, and substantially as C.H.A. quotes. He left a bequest of 10 pounds to Mrs., not Miss, Esther Graves, though I agree that this is probably a courtesy title for a spinster. He left also a bequest of 10 pounds to Mrs. Dorothy Heborne; though this may be a form of Hibbard. Yet it is well to quote names from a will as written when offered as evidence. C.H.A. claims that Dorothy Graves, who married John Hibbard in 1708, was a daughter of this Ebenezer Graves above, and claims Ebenezer as a Lynn man, born before 1657, the date when Hannah, daughter of Mark (2) Graves is recorded. Lynn Vital Records, published, show a 'Hester Graves, daughter of Marke', born 10:12:1668. Was it not this Hester Graves that Ebenezer remembered in his will? Lynn records also show the intention of marriage of Elizabeth Graves to Jonathan Hobbs of Ipswich, published March 8, 1700/1. Was it not this Elizabeth Hobbs that Ebenezer remembered in his will? Lynn records also show the intention of marriage of Dorothy Graves of Lynn to John Hebard of Beverly, published May 10, 1714. Were there two Dorothys in the field? Is it not likely that the Hester Graves, Elizabeth Hobbs and Dorothy Heborne of Ebenezer Graves' will were his sisters rather than his daughters?

As to Mrs. Elizabeth Stratton, to whom Ebenezer Graves bequeathed a 'three pint silver tankard', if I but knew her parentage I should rejoice. Her relationship to Ebenezer Graves was that of a much revered motheR‑in-law, it may be presumed. She was the widow of William Stratton, and her gravestone still stands on Copp's Hill beside those of her husband's father and mother. Among other children, William and Elizabeth had a daughter Eliphal Stratton born 1690, married in Boston, May 21, 1708, Samuel Hopkins, and second, on April 21, 1715, Ebenezer Graves. (Lynn records give the intentions of marriage of Ebenezer Graves of Lynn and Mrs. Eliphal Hopkins of Boston, published May 10, 1714.) Eliphal (Stratton) Hopkins Graves died April 15, 1717, aged twenty-seven years. This would seem to offer grounds enough to place Mrs. Elizabeth Stratton as an honored and respected mother-in-law, who, being well-to-do as her known affairs show, was most appropriately remembered by a keepsake.

To go back a little, Sarah, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Manning) Barrat, born in Boston, Jan. 8, 1694/5, married Charles Hamell on June 17, 1714. She married, second, on Feb. 14, 1717/18, Ebenezer Graves. She married, third, on Oct. 2, 1724, William Russell. Samuel Barrett, in his will made in 1733, named all of his eleven children, and among them, his daughter, Sarah Russell. One son, George, was cut off with a cash payment. The other ten inherited the property. Samuel Barratt was the executor of Ebenezer Graves' will. His son John Barrett was made executor of the estate and guardian to Samuel Graves after Samuel Barrett's death. When Samuel Graves reached his majority, he joined with Thornton, Samuel, Edward, John and Susanna Barrett and Mary Coffin, Lydia Lewis and Mercy Skinner in the sale of nine-tenths on their interest in certain property to Isaiah Barrett, also a child of Samuel Barrett Sr. These are the same children named in Samuel Barrett's will, except that Samuel Graves had taken the interest that was his mother Sarah Russell's. Samuel Graves deposed that he was fifteen years old in 1734. He gave his guardian a full acquittance in 1740. This shows that he was born around 1718-19, and son of Sarah Barratt. Boston records give: 'Samuel, son of Ebenezer Graves and Sarah his wife, born Dec. 22, 1718.'

Captain Ebenezer Graves was a Lynn man, of course, but is it reasonable to think that a man born at least as early as 1655 would marry two wives after his sixtieth year, and both young women?

Samuel, son of Ebenezer above, went to Marblehead, where he appears as a merchant and shipbuilder. He probably married there Sept. 6, 1744, Sarah, daughter of John and Sarah Bayley, who was born at Marblehead July 31, 1720. They had a son Ebenezer baptized March 21, 1745; Samuel, baptized March 8, 1747; and Samuel again, born April 17, 1748.

Thomas Graves, brother of Captain Ebenezer, left two sons, John Graves of Dedham and Ebenezer Graves of Marblehead. This last Ebenezer probably married Sarah Lovess of Boston, their intention of marriage being published Oct. 1, 1741. He was deceased in 1744, when his widow, Sarah, sold the Hull Street house to John Graves of Dedham, and in the deed, states that her husband, Ebenezer, and John were the two sons of Thomas Graves. Both Captain Ebenezer and his brother Thomas Graves owned this Hull St. house at different times. Perhaps Ebenezer held a mortgage only, but I think that Philip Howell bought the place of Captain Ebenezer, who owned it in 1715. Philip Howell and wife sold it to Thomas Graves in 1728. Captain Ebenezer had property on Love Street, or Lane Street, and his son, Samuel, sold it about 1744.

In 1776, Ann (3) Stratton, daughter of William and Elizabeth and sister of Eliphal, who married Captain Ebenezer Graves, made her will and, among other bequests, gave a silver tankard, and perhaps the Graves heirloom, inherited from her mother, to her kinsman, Edward Ladd Sanders, a grandson of Bridget Stratton, and who married Eunice Marshall, granddaughter of Ann Stratton. These three, William, Bridget, and Ann, were the children of Bartholomew and Eliphal (Sanford) Stratton, Eliphal being the daughter of Governor John Sanford of Rhode Island.

Nauset.

Boston Transcript, Jan. 28, 1914.

*3254. 1. Graves, Hibbard. 'Nauset', Jan. 19, 1914. 'Nauset' will note that I offered all the papers I had on the subject, and gave it as my opinion only that these women might be the daughters of Ebenezer Graves. If they were his sisters, perhaps the Ebenezer Graves who was husband of Sarah Barrett was a son of the Ebenezer (3), and was left to do some late return to the brothers and sisters of his father. The facts are the quoted deeds and probates referred to; the surmises are all as to the relationship of Ebenezer of the 1719 probate to the parties to whom he left legacies. This has been a puzzle to a lot of us for several years, and it was my idea to lay it before the Transcript experts for their consideration, in such a way as to call attention. Glad you are entertained. So was I when you said you doubted the marriage of the Ebenezer to two young women on account of his age. I do not know myself when Ebenezer was born. So far I have seen no deposition and, as the 1719 man was buried in old Ireland, we are not likely to get his age at death. For all I can see, he may have been married three times. First to the mother of Dorothy, maybe an only child by his first wife, to the Stratton lady in 1708, who may have left a daughter Elizabeth, for all I can see to the contrary, who got a tankard, which was an heirloom in her own mother's family. She and Dorothy may have been his two daughters, already well endowed, Dorothy by her father at the time of her marriage with Hibbard and Elizabeth, already inheriting her mother Stratton's estate, so well provided for. Cannot you find some marriage contract to that effect, made to protect Elizabeth Stratton, a possible child by the second wife, from being obliged to share her material estate with a half sister Dorothy? Samuel also had his Barrett estates from being set off to their need.

Now as to the age of the possible father of Dorothy, she was married to John Hibbard in 1708; he was born 1682 and was alive in Methuen as late as 1750. Elisabeth, the eldest child, born in 1709; Ebenezer, the eldest son in 1710; John, 1716; Joseph, 1726; Daniel, 1728; Ruth, 1730, was called daughter of John Hibbard Jr., and wife Dorcas in baptisms, and in the margin of the records, Dorcas Graves by some hand added; Joseph Hibbard, uncle of John who married Dorothy, had a daughter Dorcas, who married Nathaniel Abbott in Andover, but I do not find any Dorcas, either Graves of Hibberd, early in these lines on the records, nor any John Jr., with a wife Dorcas. John's father married Abigail Graves in 1670, and second, Ruth Wheeler in 1679; third, to a Lydia.

Elisabeth, Ruth, and Martha were sisters of young John, all near his age, but the name of Ebenezer to the eldest son rather favored my theory that Dorothy was a daughter to our Andover Ebenezer, a mariner, by a first wife somewhere. Daniel was a brother of young John also, so the only new name dropped into this different list was the one of Ebenezer. John and Dorothy moved a good deal - Lynn, Beverly, Andover and Methuen. Elisabeth Farrington, formerly a Knight, widow of John Farrington of Lynn, was Mark's second wife, and may have furnished a first wife for Ebenezer, mother of Dorothy.

I have had spells of reading up all the Farrington papers, without avail as yet. The one brother and sister Esther may have had less from the old father during his life so Ebenezer tried to make it up to them, as Mark may have spent estate, held by right of the mother, of one at least. Elisabeth, born 1659, was the last child of Amy; did she marry William Stratton? Did her daughter marry cousin Ebenezer Graves, son of the older man in 1708? If her mother Elisabeth was sister of Ebenezer, son of Mark by the first wife Amy, a daughter would hardly marry her uncle, but if he was dead and his son Ebenezer was left to carry out the unsettled affairs of his father, it would be a reasonable guess that he took for one wife his cousin. There was likely to be a second daughter Elisabeth to old Mark by Elisabeth Farrington, the second wife, who would be eligible for Hobbs in 1701.

There is no record of any Dorothy to Mark's second wife, and she may have been at least eighteen in 1708, born about 1690. I feel sure that among the grandchildren of Mark and Amy somewhere, Dorothy lived in Lynn, at the time of marriage in 1708. As to Ebenezer, son of Mark, being about sixty in 1715, when he married Miss Stratton, if not a relative, he was at an age of course more suitable for a grandparent. We had in Andover an elderly man who lost his mother at the age of 62, got lonesome, married in six years a lady 28 years his junior, by whom he had one son, who married twice, and who had three sons and two daughters and as smart a lot of grandchildren as one sees anywhere, still surviving. There is no space nor time for the six marriage items of a Richardson of Billerica, some of whose folks lived here, and many other examples too numerous to quote. The facts don't seem to fit first rate theory as yet, but we may stumble upon some paper in the Methuen man's line which I have not yet recovered, that will tell the tale. I will also examine our tax list but I fear Ebenezer got away to sea before he paid a poll tax here.

Many thanks for added facts. C.H.A." (R‑9, R‑201)

167. Lucy Graves, b. 20 July 1762 (Walpole, MA), m. Ebenezer Farrington, pub. 1 July 1784 (Wakefield, MA).

Dorothy Graves (59) was born about 1682 (or 21 July or Sept. 1684) in Lynn, Mass., and died 16 Aug. 1766. She married John Hibbard (or Hebard or Hebbert or Hibbert) of Beverly, Mass., son of John Hibbert (or Hibbard) and his second wife Ruth Waldern (or Walden), on 6 June 1708 (according to Some Ancestral Lines, Raymon M. Tingley, Rutland, Vt., 1935). According to John Card Graves, the marriage was published 9 Dec. 1702. According to Joe Cook (R‑68), intention to marry John Hibbard was recorded in Beverly, Mass. Nov 8, 1708 (Beverly Vital Records). Intention to marry was published in Lynn Nov 24, 1708 (Lynn Vital Records). John was born in 1681, was baptized 4 June 1682 in Beverly, and died 3 May 1752 in Methuen, Mass.

Joe Cook (R‑68) reported that Dorothy Graves was baptized Sept. 21, 1684 in Beverly, MA, “daughter of Goody Graves of Lynn Church baptized here in communion of churches.” It is not known why Dorothy’s father was not listed on the church record page, since other baptism records listed both parents. From vital records of Methuen, MA: “Dorothy Hibbard, widow or relict of John Hibbard, died August 16, 1766, in the eighty-first year of her age.” This information and more is online.

John's father, John, was born 24 Jan. 1642/3 in Salem, Mass., died 26 March 1718 in Beverly, Mass., and first married Abigail Graves of Lynn, Mass. on 20 Oct. 1670. It is not known who Abigail was, but it is suspected that she may have been a granddaughter of original immigrant Samuel Graves of Lynn. A brother of John, Joseph Hibbert, married Elizabeth Graves on the same day, 20 Oct. 1670, and it is reasonable to assume that Abigail and Elizabeth were sisters.

Dorothy and John first lived in Lynn, Mass., where their first two children were born, then in Beverly, where their next child was born. They then lived in Andover, Mass. where their next four children were born, then in Haverhill, and finally in Methuen, Mass., where their last two children were born. These are the ancestors of Mrs. Mary James Borden (R‑2) and of Mrs. Tahsin Yigit (R‑3). The descendants of Dorothy and John Hibbard are given in Genealogy of the Hibbard Family, compiled and published by Augustine George Hibbard, Woodstock, Conn., 1901.

CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM GRAVES (13) AND ANNA HAYWARD

Samuel Graves (74) was born 3 Jan. 1684 in Andover, Mass., and died in 1747 in Haverhill, Mass. He first married Sarah Perkins, daughter of James Perkins and Leah Cox of Hampton, N.H., in Salisbury, Mass. She was born 3 Oct. 1682, and died 16 July 1724 in Londonderry (then Nutfield), N.H.

He secondly married Martha Bond, widow of John Bond of Haverhill, on 29 Jan. 1725. Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, pp. 66-7, states: John Bond, b. 12 Oct. 1688, son of Joseph Bond of Haverhill, b. 1653. Adm. estate of John Bond of Haverhill 5 June 1721.

Martha survived Samuel and was appointed Administratrix of his estate on 28 Oct. 1747. He moved from Londonderry to Kingston, N.H. in 1728, and to Haverhill, Mass. about 1741.

The following information substantiates the idea that Samuel Graves of Haverhill married Martha Bond, and that she was a daughter of Richard Hall, married first to John Bond, who died 1 May 1721.

The Williams genealogy (Cornelia Bartow Williams, Descendants of John Williams of Newbury and Haverhill, Mass.) states on page 25: John Bond, b. 12 Oct. 1688, d. 1 May 1721, m. 1715, Mary Hall. Children: Sarah, b. 21 Oct. 1716, d. 1 May 1721; John, b. 14 Jan. 1718/19; Jonathan, b. 14 Nov. 1721, d. 1 May 1721. There is a statement that "John Bond and his family (except son John) were drowned 1 May 1721 in the Merrimac River." This account is followed by an extensive bibliography.

The deaths of Sarah and Jonathan as given in this genealogy are not borne out by the Haverhill vital records. That of the father is. Vital Records of Haverhill, Mass. shows the following. Haverhill births: John, son of Joseph and Sarah (Williams) Bond, b. 12 Oct. 1688. Children of John and ‑‑‑‑‑‑ (Hall) Bond: Sarah, b. 21 Oct. 1716; John, b. 14 Jan. 1718/19; Jonathan, b. 14 Nov. 1721. Haverhill marriages: John Bond and ‑‑‑‑‑‑ Hall, before 1716. Haverhill deaths: John Bond, husband ‑‑‑‑‑‑ Hall, drowned 1 May 1721.

According to this, Jonathan Bond was born after his father's death, confirming the mother's survival of the drowning accident.

There is other information from Vital Records of Bradford, Mass. Bradford was across the Merrimac River from Haverhill, and is now a part of Haverhill. Bradford births: Daughters of Richard and Martha Hall: Mary, b. 1684, Martha, b. 11 March 1686/7. Bradford marriages: Jo(h)n Bond and Mary Hale, (Dec. 8) 1715 (from the records of the First Congregational Church of Bradford). This shows that Richard and Martha Hall of Bradford did have a daughter Martha and that her age was such as to make her a more likely wife of John Bond than her sister Mary.

It is not clear how the compilers of the Haverhill vital records determined the surname of the wife of John Bond but did not know her first name. The writer of the Williams genealogy apparently relied on the Bradford records for the first name. The lack of definition of this name in the Haverhill records does at least throw the name Mary into question.

There was discussion of these families in the genealogy column of the Boston Transcript in the early part of this century. Item 6466 of the column of 15 July 1903 states that Richard Hall was an original member of the Bradford church and that his wife Martha joined from Haverhill in 1682. Item 6219 of 6 Sept. 1904 says that Richard Hall was of Bradford as early as 1673 and died 4 March 1730; and that his will of 18 Nov. 1723, proved 30 March 1730, mentions present wife Martha, sons John, Joseph and Richard, and daughter Mary Hall. If true, this means that Mary was unmarried, giving further support to the thesis that it was her sister Martha instead who married John Bond. Item 1524 of 31 Oct. 1910, supplemented by an item of the same number in the 14 Nov. 1910 issue of the Transcript, attempts to trace the ancestry of Richard Hall of Bradford, Deacon John Hall of Dover, N.H., and Ralph Hall, "progenitor of the Halls of Exeter, N.H.", who are postulated to be brothers to John Hall, baptized at Bradford, Yorkshire, on 12 Feb. 1564. He was the son of John and Ann (Morton) Hall. Lastly, item 4474 of the Transcript of 27 Jan. 1915, replying to an earlier query, states that John Bond, son of John and Sarah (Williams) Bond and grandson of John and Hester (Blakely) Bond of Newbury and Haverhill, was born Haverhill 12 Oct. 1688; married Martha Hall, born Bradford 11 March 1686/7, daughter of Richard Hall; and was drowned 1 May 1721. His widow married Samuel Graves. The item does not mention sources, but gives its information with finality. (R‑27, R‑201)

202. Sarah Graves, b. 15 June 1720, d. Oct. 1812.

203. John Graves, bapt. 30 Sept. 1722.

John Graves (77) was born 11 June 1691 at Andover, Mass. It may be that he died in 1790, nearly 100 years old, and his son Crispus was appointed administrator of his estate on 3 Oct. 1790. However, based on the baptismal records of the First Church of Falmouth, Maine, it appears more likely that John died in 1726 and his younger brother, William, married his widow, having 6 children that have sometimes been attributed to John.

John went at an early age to that portion of Mass. which is now the State of Maine, and settled in Falmouth, where lands were granted to him in 1721. He married Elizabeth Bean, daughter of Captain Joseph Bean and Joanna Treethy of York, Maine, about 1724. She was born 21 May 1704. He was on the Maine Militia Master Roll in Capt. Larraby's Co., April to Nov. 1722. His daughters were said to have married Messrs. Stacy, Woodbury and Cutler.

Note: John Graves did not marry Martha Mitten as some have believed. The John Graves who married Martha Mitton (or Mitten) arrived from England about 1673 (according to Roland B. Graves), and married Martha of Ipswich prior to 8 Nov. 1677. Martha was a daughter of Michael Mitton. John and Martha did move to Falmouth, Me. and stayed there briefly before moving to New Hampshire and eventually to Rhode Island. The fact that they were in Falmouth for a short time probably led to the confusion. (The basis for this paragraph is found in the Genealogical Dictionary of Maine and N.H., by Sybil Noyes, Genealogical Pub. Co., Inc., Baltimore, 1976.)

Falmouth records indicate that John Graves was granted 30 acres of land on the west side of the Persumscott River (Casco side) on 3 July 1721. On 10 April 1727 John was assessed 160 pounds for the salary, board and parsonage for the Reverend Thomas Smith of the First Parish. On 27 April 1727 a house lot was laid out for John in the First Parish. Later on, after he had maintained the land for seven to ten years, he obtained permanent title. The mark for John Graves' creatures was a "crape on the top of each ere". Also, John was granted 10 acres of land 1 April 1724. John was appointed a Constable at one time by the town of Falmouth.

It is interesting to note one reason records of early Falmouth are so difficult to find today is that on October 17, 1775 (about 6 months after the battles of Concord and Lexington) Captain Mowatt in command of 5 ships dispatched from Boston (by Admiral Thomas Graves, in command of the British fleet blockading Boston harbor) completely destroyed Falmouth by bombardment, and a shore party burned all buildings out of reach of the ships' cannon. Falmouth at that time was the largest and richest town in Maine, composed of about 400 dwelling houses. With winter fast approaching, the early settlers must have had severe problems and hardships. The reason for this attack was that the patriotic settlers in Falmouth had refused to permit the Tories to sell supplies to ships of the British Navy and this was their punishment. (See The History of Maine, by John S. C. Abbott.)

The four sons of John and William (referred to by Rev. Charles N. Sinnett, R‑206) - Samuel, Joseph, Johnson, and John - came to Topsham, Me. from Falmouth at different times, about 1762. These were the four "brothers" discussed by Rev. Sinnett. It was common in colonial days to refer to half-brothers as brothers. Joseph and Samuel were the grantees of a deed of 1000 acres near and convenient to the two branches of the western stream of Cathance River. Deed recorded 16 March 1758.

Woodman in his sketch of Topsham, Maine wrote: "The four Graves brothers who settled at Topsham, Maine came to America from Gloucestershire, England, and went to Falmouth, Maine. The date is not known. Together these four brothers had 500 acres of the Topsham, Maine millwright in a body. Samuel Graves had the southwest division of 150 acres; Joseph Graves had the next 100 acres. Johnson Graves, with his brother John Graves (who came to Topsham, Maine later than the other three brothers) had 250 acres of land adjoining the land of Joseph Graves, who lived and died on his lot."

"Joseph Graves, Samuel Graves, Samuel Staples (?), brothers of Johnson Graves, but all of them said to be of Falmouth, but now of a place called Topsham, Maine, are grantees for 209 pounds and and 1/2 of one thousand acres to be laid out near and convenient to the two branches of the western stream of Cathance River. The grantees are Samuel Waterhouse of Boston, merchant, and Hannah, his wife, the only representative and daughter of Job Lewis, Esqr., late of Boston. They sell in said deed all our right, which they declare to be one-half of the said one thousand acres, as same is described in writing of a deed of Feb. 20, 1740 from Henry Gibbs to our said father, Job Lewis. Recorded at York Co., Maine. References, etc. (The other half of the above mentioned land is said to have belonged to Samuel Winchell and others.)"

The 1790 census for the Town of Topsham, Maine, indicates John headed a family of 3 males over 16, 1 male under 16, and 3 females; Johnson headed a family of 2 males over 16, 1 male under 16, and 3 females; Samuel headed a family of 2 males over 16, 4 males under 16, and 4 females.

The 1800 census indicated John Jr. headed a family of 1 male over 16 and 5 females; Johnson headed a family of 2 males over 16, 1 male under 16, and 2 females; Joseph headed a family of 1 male over 16, 1 male under 16, and 2 females.

The three children shown below are listed in the baptismal records of the First Church of Falmouth, Maine. (R‑10, R‑13, R‑201, R‑206)

Sinnett and others. He apparently married Elizabeth Bean, daughter of Captain Joseph Bean and Joanna Treethy of York, Maine, about 1727. (R‑10, R‑206)

He was a son of John Adsit and Mary. This John Adsit is supposedly the first Adsit in America of whom there is any known record. He lived in Wethersfield and Hartford, Conn., before locating at Lyme, Conn. about 1716. He had supposedly come from Essex, England when a small lad. No record of place or date of birth has been found, but his death is recorded as Jan. 1734/5. He first married Sarah Howard of Wethersfield, Conn. in 1653 and had three children.

CHILDREN OF SAMUEL GRAVES (74)

James Graves (185) was born 22 April 1714 in Chelmsford, Mass. He married Sarah Roberts, daughter of Ephraim Roberts and Hannah Smith of Haverhill, Mass., on 1 Sept. 1741 in Haverhill, Mass. She was born 7 May 1725 in Haverhill. He lived in that part of Haverhill, Mass., when he married, which was later set off to N.H. He lived in Hampstead, N.H. in 1743, and was Selectman of the town from 1752 to 1756. He purchased a large farm at South Hampton, N.H. in 1761, and was a farmer and innkeeper until his death. He was buried at South Hampton on 7 May 1765. His wife was admitted to the church at South Hampton on 1 June 1766, and died before 18 June 1781. James Graves was a substantial and respected citizen, and belonged to that class of inhabitants who created the public sentiment that culminated in the American Revolution. (R‑201)

Children - Hovey

+400. Sarah Hovey, b. 19 Nov. 1746, m. John Farwell, 16 March 1769, d. 23 April 1829.

Mary Graves (190) was born 29 July 1729 in Haverhill, Essex Co., Mass., was baptized 11 Jan. 1729/30 in Second Church, Salisbury (or Amesbury), Mass., and died 1 Oct. 1807 in Haverhill, Mass. She married Jonathan Shepard on 30 May 1751 in Haverhill, Mass. (John Card Graves said she probably married Moses Call, but nothing has been found to support this.) Sources for these facts are: Jacobus, The Shepard Families of New England, vol. III, p. 355; Old Families of Salisbury and Amesbury, p. 511, from records of Second Church of Amesbury; and inscriptions in the family Bible belonging to Mehitable Shepard, daughter of Jonathan Shepard and Mary Graves. Included in the Bible entries are the names of Mary's parents, "Martha Graves" and "Samuel Graves of King Street, Ipswich." There are no other Graves names in the Bible.

From Jacobus's book (with slight editing changes): Jonathan Shepard, son of Jonathan Shepard, was born 22 Sept. 1728 and died in 1793 (before 29 April), both in Haverhill, Mass. He was admitted to the First Congregational Church of Haverhill, 10 June 1753, and had children baptized there. Later in life he became a Baptist, for his will mentions his pew in the Baptist Church at Haverhill.

He is reported as a private in Capt. Richard Ayer's Co., Col. Johnson's Regt., which marched on the alarm of 19 April 1775; "reported a deacon." (Mass. Soldiers and Sailors in the Revolution, 14:116.)

He was listed in the 1790 census in Haverhill with one male under 16 (although his son Jonathan was actually 18) and two females.

The church record of his marriage calls him "Mr." and his bride "Mrs.", but this term of respect does not at that period imply that the bride was a widow. A deed is cited, 15 May 1792, by which Jonathan Shepard of Haverhill conveyed land "formerly of my father Joseph Bond" (Essex County Land), which suggests that his bride was a Bond by birth and not a widow Graves. (Jacobus did not have the Bible record available to him as cited earlier.) There was, indeed, a Joseph Bond of Haverhill whose will, dated 7 Dec. 1724, named with other children a daughter Mary. It is estimated, however, that this Mary Bond would have been too old to be mother of all the Shepard children. Since a daughter of Jonathan gave a child the full name of Mary Graves, it seems probable that this was the maiden name of Jonathan's wife. Furthermore, if the land formerly belonging to Joseph Bond had been inherited by Jonathan's wife, she was then living and should have joined him in the deed. It is suggested that the cited deed should be re-examined.

On 19 April 1754, Jonathan Shepard of Haverhill, blacksmith, and Solomon Kimball of Bradford, Mass., bought land in Hampstead, N.H., which they sold 1 Dec. 1758. Also, on 12 Dec. 1759, Jonathan Shepard, Jr., of Haverhill, blacksmith, with the same Solomon Kimball, sold land in the 4th division of the original right laid out to Samuel Graves, dec'd. (New Hampshire Land).

On 10 April 1792, Jonathan Shepard of Exeter, N.H., blacksmith, conveyed to James Shepard of Hampstead, N.H. (Deeds, Exeter, N.H.).

The will of Jonathan Shepard of Haverhill, yoeman, dated 16 Feb. 1793, proved 29 April 1793, named his wife Mary; son Jonathan; and daughters Polly Shepard and Mehitable Ayres; James Duncan, executor. Duncan declined and administration was granted to James Shepard (Jonathan's brother) of Hampstead, N.H. (Essex Co. Probate). (R‑27, R‑204)

Samuel Graves (206) was born 1726 in Falmouth, Maine, was baptized 16 March 1727, and died 23 Aug. 1792 in Topsham, Me. He first married Mrs. Ann Bush on 7 Nov. 1751 in Falmouth. They were both of Falmouth, and their intention to marry was published 5 Oct. 1751. She died Nov. 1752. He secondly married Mrs. Mary (Jack) Gooding of Brunswick (or Topsham, according to Mr. Roland B. Graves), Maine on 29 Nov. 1770. Mary had previously married James Gooding on 6 Dec. 1753. She died in 1797. Samuel Graves was in Capt. George Berry's Military Co. at Falmouth from 19 May 1746 to 19 Jan. 1747, was in the Louisburg Campaign of 1745, and was a selectman in Topsham in 1773. He moved to Topsham, Me. about 1762, and was selectman there in 1773. His son Jacob was appointed administrator of his estate on 29 June 1793. (R‑10, R‑13, R‑201)

CHILDREN OF WILLIAM GRAVES (79) AND ELIZABETH BEAN

Joseph Graves (207) was born about 1728 in Falmouth, Me., was baptized in May 1730, died 11 June 1797 in Topsham, Me., and was buried in the Old Topsham Cem. He married Jane Adams, sister of Joshua, Moses, and Benjamin Adams. They were both of Falmouth, Maine. She was born 13 May 1733 at Newbury, Mass. Their intentions were published 2 (or 5) Nov. 1754. She was probably a daughter of Jacob Adams of Falmouth and Mary ‑‑‑‑‑‑. Falmouth town records show Jacob Adams granted 40 acres of land and 1 acre of land for a house lot. Other Falmouth town records show his children to be: Elizabeth, b. 4 July 1728; John, b. 28 June 1730; Mary, b. 5 July 1732. Mary had published intentions of marriage to David Woodman on 22 Jan. 1748.

Samuel and Joseph, the oldest of the four Graves brothers, evidently moved to Topsham in 1758, as the deed transferring the 1000 acres of land they purchased was dated 16 March 1758.

The town of Topsham was incorporated in 1764, and Joseph was a selectman in 1770. There is also a record that he was a member of the Church of Christ Congregational Church in Topsham. (R‑13, R‑201)

Charles Johnson Graves (208), called Johnson, was born 8 (or 1) Feb. 1732 in Falmouth, Maine, was baptized 28 March 1732, and died 18 Jan. 1824 in Topsham, Me. It is conjectured that he used the name Johnson because he didn't like the name Charles, thus explaining the apparent strangeness of naming one son John and another Johnson. He first married Sarah Staples of Falmouth, sister of Stephen and Samuel Staples, on 10 Sept. 1757 in Falmouth, Me. He secondly married Mrs. Susanna (Hobbs) Staples, widow of Stephen Staples, formerly of Falmouth. He went to Topsham, Me. about 1762 (or 23 June 1803). His first three children were apparently born in Falmouth, Me., and the last two were born in Topsham.

Johnson's cemetery stone, two miles north of Topsham on Route 24, has the name "Greaves" and date of death as Jan. 27, 1824, age 91 years, 11 months, 8 days. He was a private in a Massachusetts unit (from Topsham) during the Rev. War, and those records indicate birthdate as 19 Aug. 1732 and death on 8 Jan. 1824. Sarah Staples was a daughter of Samuel Staples II and Elizabeth. Samuel II was granted land in Falmouth on 17 Aug. 1727, 6 Nov. 1727, and 15 March 1727/8. Sarah was born 16 March 1736/7, and marriage intention pub. 10 Sept. 1757. (R‑13, R‑201)

He first married Mary Hendley on 21 Feb. 1774 (21 Feb. 1775, according to Marblehead Vital Statistics, p. 182) at Marblehead, Mass. She died 24 Jan. 1783 at age 30 (based on the birth dates of the children, this date looks suspect).

He secondly married Mrs. Rebecca (Sweetland) Thompson, daughter of John Sweetland and Elizabeth Grant, on 18 Jan. 1789 at Marblehead. She had first married Jonathan Thompson on 30 June 1774. She was born in 1753, was baptized 11 March 1753, and died 21 Jan. 1824, all in Marblehead.

John was a sailmaker by trade, and was in Naval Service in the Rev. War.

Seaman on the U.S. ship 'Thorn', Capt. Francis Felton, 9 months service 1776." Also, "Sailmaker, Brigantine 'Tyranicide', year 1777, Capt. Hainden." He apparently also served as a tentmaker under Gen. Washington at the siege of Boston. He lived in Marblehead, Mass. John, Mary, and Rebecca were all buried in Old Burial Hill, Marblehead.

An old article says: "Phineas Graves in the spring of 1779 left South Hampton and struck out into the wilderness on foot with ax and gun, and camp equipage on a hand sled, and traveled to Tuftonboro where he made a clearing and built a log house. The next year he married Hannah Brown of Epping. Placing her on a horse, he traveled by her side with a load on his own back. They journeyed to their future home where, leaving his young bride alone, the nearest neighbor being at Moultonboro 12 miles away, he took the horse back to Epping and returned to his little clearing, leading a cow, the marriage portion of his bride."

He was a Selectman and Representative of that town, a joiner, saw and grist mill owner, and a soldier in the Rev. Army. His will was dated 8 Feb. 1816, probated 5 March 1816, and mentions most of the children listed below. It is not certain in all cases which children are by the first marriage and which by the second.

It has been noted that the death date of Capt. Eleazer Graves is the same as that of his sixth child, also named Eleazer. It is not known whether that was just a coincidence or a possible error.

CHILDREN OF JOSEPH GRAVES (418) AND CYNTHIA A. WEST

Joseph Graves (820) was born 3 Jan. 1800 and died 19 April 1876, both in ME. He married Anna (“Annie”) C. ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born about 1800 in ME. She was in the 1850 census for Bangor, ME without him. They were in the 1860 and 1870 censuses for Bangor, ME. He was a gunsmith. (R‑62)

Children - Graves

+1544. Robert Stetson Graves, b.c. 1830, m. Flavilla M. ‑‑‑‑‑‑.

1545. Ellen M. Graves, b.c. 1835. She was a school teacher in 1860.

Samuel Graves (821) was born in Topsham, ME. He was a farmer. He married Rebecca D. Young, daughter of Joseph Young (born in England) and Rachel Moore (b. 1774, NJ, d. 8 Jan. 1851, Swanville, ME). Rebecca was born in Digby, Nova Scotia, died 13 Jan. 1852, and was buried in Mount Hope Cem., Bangor, ME. She had a sister, Rachel A. Young, who was born 21 Aug. 1815 in Digby, Nova Scotia, died 30 March 1907 in Belfast, ME, and married James Young McClintock on 7 Aug. 1837 in Digby, NS.

Samuel and Rebecca apparently lived in Leeds, Androscoggin Co., ME, since all 4 of their children were born there.

There is a discrepancy involving Samuel’s name. His death certificate shows his name as Joseph, but a certified letter from the town of Leeds and Maine State Archives both show it as Samuel. Also, Joseph⁶ is credited with 4 children, the number that Samuel supposedly had. Joseph lived in Bangor, ME, died while living with his brother, Joshua, in Wayne, ME, and was buried there.

The family of Joseph⁵ moved from Falmouth (next to Portland) to Topsham, where some of them continued to live. Joshua⁶ moved to Wayne, ME (next to Leeds), and Nathaniel⁶ lived in Litchfield, ME (very near Leeds) before moving to Guilford, ME. Also, 2 of the sons of Nathaniel married women named Young (not known whether they were related to Rebecca). Many of the descendants moved to Bangor and vicinity.

It is very likely, based on circumstantial evidence, that Samuel Graves who married Rebecca Young was a son of Joseph⁵. The DNA test results for a descendant provide strong confirmation of this. To prove the connection, we need to learn more about Joseph⁶ and Samuel⁶, including their ages and the interactions between the family members. Censuses, land records, wills, probate records, and other records need to be searched. (R‑58, R‑59)

"Mr. Joshua Lewis Graves, whose death occurred at his late residence, 16 Village St., on Wednesday morning was 77 years old. He was a sailmaker by trade, but some fifty years ago was associated with his brother-in-law, the late Nathaniel B. Lindsey, in the baking business in the Graves house at the foot of Orne St., and afterwards carried the business on alone. Subsequently, he became a shoemaker working 'on the seat' and in various manufacturies. About 1880, he engaged in the provision business on Washington St. near Porter's Stables, where he did a good business for several years. After that he engaged in a small way in shoe manufacturing. About four years ago, he opened a grocery store in the house owned by Mr. William J. Goldthwait, on Pleasant St., near its southern junction with Washington St., but this was hardly a success. For many months past his health has been giving way. Two sons survive him. Walter R. Graves, who is married and lives in Lynn, and Herbert L. Graves of this town.

Funeral services were held at his late residence this afternoon. Mr. Graves was the brother of the late Philip Edmund Graves, and of Mr. Eleazer Graves, who survives." (R‑9, R‑201)

"Eleazer Graves Sr., a very old and highly respected citizen of Marblehead, passed away Sunday at the Odd Fellows Home in Worcester where he had been for a number of months. Until a short time ago he appeared to be enjoying his usual good health, and his death comes like a shock to his friends. Mr. Graves was a native of Marblehead, and had always lived here, being a sailmaker for many years. He and his brother, Philip, carried this industry in a loft on Front St., and when this was a great port for fishing boats, did an extensive business. He was 93 years old and was one of the oldest members of Atlantic Lodge IOOF, both in membership and in years. Two sons, Eleazer Graves Jr. and Richard H. Graves, both of Marblehead, are his only immediate survivors. His funeral was held at the parlor of the Odd Fellows on Wednesday afternoon."

Another obituary appeared in the Marblehead Messenger for 13 Jan. 1877.

Some few years ago the family lost two little girls with the same terrible disease. They have the sympathy of the whole community in this second bereavement. The sons were Eleazer, age 8-1-16, John C., age 2-4-20."

The tradition in this branch of the family is that Mary Ann was descended from a Baron Greaves of England. (That probably would have been Admiral Thomas Graves who was elevated to the English peerage in 1795, and was probably descended from the family of Yorkshire and Mickleton Manor, Gloucestershire, England. The descent could not have been from him, since Samuel Graves settled in Lynn, MA in 1630, but the immigrant Samuel Graves may be descended from the ancestors of this Baron Greaves.)

The Stanwoods were from Stainwood, England. The Fishes were from Wales via Scotland and England to Lynn, MA. The Shumways (Chamois) were Huguenots from France. The Shumway descent of Rev. Elijah Shumway Fish was: (1) Peter Shumway, b. 10 April 1635, d. 1695, m. Frances ‑‑‑‑‑‑, settled in Oxford, MA; (2) Peter Shumway, b. 6 June 1678, d. 1751, m.

CHILDREN OF WATSON GRAVES (601) AND FANNY D. WILSON

Lorenzo S. Graves (1153) was born 18 July 1831 in Southboro, Mass. He married Eliza G. Coffin, daughter of Capt. Moses Coffin of Nantucket, Mass., on 31 March 1852. He moved to Rochester, N.Y. and carried on a very large business in manufacturing elevators.

The following biography is taken from the History of Rochester and Monroe Co., NY, by William Farley Peck, p. 536, and is available as a Google free book.

“Lorenzo S. Graves, who is now numbered among the honored dead and who for many years was a leading manufacturer and one of the most prominent residents of Rochester, came to this city in 1859. He was afterward connected with several of the leading productive industries here and finally became one of the large stockholders of the Otis Elevator Company, with which business he was associated throughout his remaining days. He achieved such a goodly measure of success that his methods are of interest to the commercial world and in an analyzation of his life work it will be found that he based his business principles and actions upon the rules which govern industry and strict, unswerving integrity.

A native of' Massachusetts, Mr. Graves was born in Southboro, July 18, 1831, his parents being Watson and Fanny (Dench) Graves, the latter a descendant of old Revolutionary stock. The father was born and reared in Southboro, Massachusetts, and while a young man he learned the boot and shoemaker's trade, following the same at Southboro during the early part of his life. He then removed to Ashland, Massachusetts, where he lived retired during his later years. His widow afterward made her home with her son and while visiting her daughter in Newark Valley she passed away.

In taking up the personal history of Lorenzo S. Graves we present to our readers the record of one who for many years figured prominently in connection with the industrial development of the city. He acquired his preliminary education in the public schools of Ashland, Massachusetts, and completed his studies in the school at Amherst, Massachusetts. He was living in Worcester, that state, at the time of his marriage to Miss Eliza G. Coffin, an old schoolmate. Her father, Captain Moses Coffin, of Nantucket, Massachusetts, was a blacksmith and cooper by trade but followed the sea for many years. After leaving the sea he settled in Wilmantic, Connecticut, where he was employed in the first paper mill in that state. Subsequently he removed to Ashland, Massachusetts, where he resided until 1851, when he became a resident of Springfield, Vermont, where both he and his wife passed away. Their daughter Eliza became the wife of Lorenzo S. Graves and unto this marriage was born one son, Fred B., who married Frances Oswald and resides at No. 5 Lorimer street, Rochester. He is now superintendent and manager of the Otis Elevator Company and is mentioned elsewhere in this volume. Mr. and Mrs. Graves also reared an adopted daughter, Ida L., who is now the wife of Charles H. Chase, a nurseryman residing at No. 76 Richmond street.

In early manhood Lorenzo S. Graves learned the shoemaker's trade with his father, making as high as twelve pairs of boots per day, so expert had he become at hand labor. Upon his removal to Rochester in 1859 he began working as a shoemaker in the employ of a Mr. Churchill. After a brief period, however, he turned his attention to teaming and a little later, in 1860, he gave to the world as the result of his inventive genius and study the Graves sole cutter, a machine for cutting leather soles. He then began the manufacture of the same, his factory being located on Mill street. He also engaged in the manufacture of paper cutters and shoe machinery and was very successful in both lines, continuing the business for a number of years and winning a creditable place as a substantial representative of commercial interests here. At length he decided to engage in the manufacture of elevators and the Graves Elevator Company was formed, and the present large factory now operated under the name of the Otis Elevator Company was erected at Nos. 198 to 210 Commercial street. From the beginning the enterprise grew rapidly until several hundred men were employed on the construction of all kinds of passenger and freight elevators which were shipped to every section of the country. This became one of the largest productive industries of the city. It was developed along progressive, modern business lines, not only meeting but anticipating the needs of the trade in this direction, and Mr. Graves continued at the head of the concern until 1901, when he sold his interest to the Otis Company, at which time the firm name was changed to the Otis Elevator Company, of which the son is now superintendent and manager. The father then retired to private life. He was always a busy man and in his earlier years his evenings were devoted to study and investigation, especially along architectural lines. His experiments resulted in inventions which gained for him a prominent place in the business world. He certainly deserved much credit for what he accomplished and justly earned the proud American title of a self-made man, for he had a capital of but a few dollars when he and his wife arrived in Rochester. The years passed and his industry and ability made him one of the well-to-do citizens. His success may be ascribed to his positive, determined pursuit of business and to the fact that he was a man of unflinching commercial integrity.

After retiring from the field of manufacture Mr. Graves, accompanied by his wife, traveled quite extensively, visiting many points of interest in this country and also making three trips to Europe. They likewise visited the holy land and various sections of Asia. Mr. Graves was always deeply interested in historic research and during their travels he and his wife gathered many interesting relics of all kinds in various parts of the world, Mrs. Graves now having in her home two large, fine cabinets well filled with shells, stones and other interesting relics of their trips.

In his political views Mr. Graves was a stalwart republican who took much interest in the party and its growth. He was frequently solicited by his friends to become a candidate for office but always refused. He built a large and beautiful residence at No. 257 Lake avenue, where his widow yet resides. There in the spring of 1903 he became ill and his death occurred on the 21st of April 1905.

Mrs. Graves belongs to the Central Presbyterian church. Theirs was a most congenial married life and the very close companionship made the death of the husband an almost unbearable blow to Mrs. Graves. His loss was also deeply felt throughout the city where he had resided for more than forty-five years—honored as one of its leading businessmen and prominent citizens. He was one of the ablest and best known manufacturers of Rochester, was genial in manner and, though his time was largely occupied by the details of extensive business interests, he always found time to devote to those of his friends whose calls were purely of a social character. He was a thorough exemplification of the typical American businessman and gentleman.” (R‑201)

"Distinguished from all other classes of men whose courage and daring appeal to the gratitude and admiration of the world are the pioneers who left comfortable homes in the eastern part of the United States and risked their all on the findings at the end of a journey appalling in its distances, and terrifying from the standpoint of danger and deprivation. Courage of this kind is the foundation of the civilization of the west, and its continuance to success after arriving at the goal of his ambition, makes the pioneer and upbuilder of the west a man of more than historical moment. Such a one was Horace Willson, to whom the green hills of New Hampshire presented limitations, and who sought a larger outlook upon the Pacific washed coast in 1853. Born in Swanzey, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire, February 18, 1822, he was reared on a small farm sloping toward the hills, and where his parents, Charles and Lavina (Collins) Willson, had lived since the beginning of their married life. His father was a brick mason by trade, combining that with farming, and the son naturally followed in his footsteps, profiting by his knowledge and becoming a master workman.

Mr. Willson's trade took him to different parts of the east, and while pursuing it in Keene, Cheshire Co., N.H., he met and married May 2, 1846, Eunice Eliza Chickering, a native of Westmoreland, N.H., and who was born March 30, 1828. The Chickerings were also early residents of New Hampshire, Alvin Chickering having been engaged there in buying and selling and shipping cattle for many years. He married Eunice Gleason, whose ancestors had engaged in agriculture for generations in New Hampshire, and who bore him a large family of children, who like Mrs. Willson, were educated in the public schools and reared in a typical New England home.

Seven years after his marriage, in 1853, Mr. Willson came to California by way of Panama, and after getting a start by working at his trade purchased 49 acres of land in Old Gilroy in Santa Clara Co. Industrious and frugal, he not only made but saved money, and owned a large ranch at Paicines, San Benito Co., Cal., which was subsequently sold. He afterward bought 1180 acres of land east of Gilroy, and not far from Hot Springs. From a small beginning he branched out into an extensive cattle business, understanding well his occupation, and becoming known as one of the principal stock men of his neighborhood. During his entire life in the west he made his home in Old Gilroy, where his death occurred June 1, 1886, and where he was buried in the little churchyard adjoining the town.

He found time while immersed in the cares of his ranch to identify himself with politics and general affairs, was a staunch promoter of schools and public institutions, and an ardent worker in the Presbyterian Church. During the war he was a strong sympathizer with the Union, and lent his influence to further the cause. The Republican Party always claimed his vote and support, although he was averse to assuming official responsibility.

Since her husband's death, Mrs. Willson has disposed of his ranch, and in 1899 built a beautiful 2-1/2 story house in Gilroy, which she has surrounded with flowers and shrubs, and made comfortable and home-like. She has nobly performed her mission as one of the pioneer women of the west, assisting her husband in his upward struggle, and rearing a family of five sons and five daughters, of whom two sons and five daughters are living. In the order of their birth the children were: Charles, deceased; Dan, who died at the age of eight years; Frank, deceased; Edwin, living in Old Gilroy; Lyman, occupying the home place; Mrs. Amanda Cochran, of San Jose, Cal.; Mrs. Ida McKinney, an educator, and for 5 years principal of the Old Gilroy school; Mrs. Lucy Reavis, wife of T. C. Reavis, a merchant of Salinas, Cal.; Mrs. Luly Onyon, wife of John Onyon, a railroad man with headquarters at San Francisco; and Mary, the wife of Charles Eckhart, ticket agent of Redwood City, Cal.

Mr. Willson was a highly respected member of the community, his judgement and success making him an important factor in its upbuilding life. His word and opinion had a high value with all who appreciated integrity and honor in a man, and his children and friends looked up to him as the personification of kindliness, good nature and loyalty."

Dorson Willson (1225) was born 23 July 1824 in Swanzey, N.H., and died 27 Jan. 1902 in Gilroy, Calif. He married Mrs. Mary (Mathew) Rhodes on 8 June 1854 in Gilroy. She had a child by her previous marriage: Sarah Josephine Rhodes, b. 15 Nov. 1852, Carroll Co., Mo., m. Michael Cavanaugh; had 2 children. All the children of Dorson and Mary were born in Gilroy.

The following collection of articles is from Mr. Cecil H. Grider.

"Oct. 12, 1899, 50 YEARS IN CALIFORNIA

Mr. Dorson Willson of San Ysidro and Mr. Dan Willson of San Juan are celebrating the fiftieth anniversary of their landing in California.

They left Boston, Mass. on board the bark Emma Isadora, a Mediterranean fruiter, on March 31, 1849. They were 49 days in making Rio de Janeiro, 49 from there around the Horn to Valparaiso, and 66 days from the latter place to San Francisco. Arriving there, they took their boat up to Stockton, sold it, and dissolved the partnership which had included seventy persons.

The Mess'rs. Willson went to Mariposa and Sonora and returned in July 1850 to San Francisco, sailed on a French sloop to Alviso, and walked across to Santa Clara.

Dorson Willson at that time built a small brick school house at Santa Clara, which stood for many years. He also prepared timbers in the Redwoods and built a small house on San Fernando St. between First and Market, back of the Catholic Church. The College now stands on that ground.

Mess'rs. Willson came to Gilroy in Jan. 1851, being first attracted here by the vast number of wild geese which they were very fond of hunting."

"Dorson Willson left the following interesting written statement.

'I was born in Swanzey, Cheshire Co., New Hampshire, 23 July 1824. I lived there until I was 17. Then I learned the brick mason trade that I worked at until I and my brother Dan left for California.

We sailed in the bark Emma Isadora the last day of March 1849 via Cape Horn with a company of seventy. We owned the ship and cargo, Captain McHenery in charge. The voyage was quite exciting to us young boys.

We arrived in San Francisco, Sept. 12, 1849. Stayed in that city about a week, and then took our ship up to Stockton, where we sold the vessel, divided up according to shares of ownership, and dissolved the partnership.

We all struck out for the mines. Brother Dan and I and some of the company started to the Mariposa Mines. Reached there in eight days by mule pack train, footing it all the way, 150 miles. We paid 25 cents a pound for our freight. I mined there until May 1850, then went down the Merced and San Joaquin Rivers in a small boat to Stockton. I then in company with two brothers by the name of Bradford bought a lot of groceries and hired an ox team and started for the so-called Camp Sonora 60 miles distant. I stayed there until July 4, then started for San Francisco on a French Sloop. Landed at Alviso, walked to Santa Clara and then to Pueblo San Jose. I worked at my trade through the winter. San Jose was a very small town. I built a small brick school house in Santa Clara. It may be standing there yet.

I got timber in what was called Jones' Redwood, and built me a small house in San Jose. The winters of 50 and 51 were very dry. January 1851 I was attracted to old Gilroy by the great numbers of wild geese which I was fond of hunting. There were very few Americans here. All were Spanish and Indians. No business was done except in the raising of stock and trading with the Spaniards.'"

"Jan. 27, 1902, PIONEER AT REST Dorson Willson, a unique figure in the early days of California, passes away.

By the death of Dorson Willson which occurred at his old Gilroy home Monday evening, California loses another one of her fast disappearing pioneers. A unique character who has figured in the history of Santa Clara County since the winter of 1851.

Dorson Willson was a typical 49er, taking great delight in recounting his early experiences, which were always interesting. He married here in early days and reared a large family. He was of rather an eccentric nature, having set ideas. One of his whims being that no flowers should bedeck his grave, with the exception of a floral piece in the form of a trowel, his loved instrument of labor, with which he earned his living. For, since reverses came, he has plied his trade as brick mason for many years. His last work being done only last year on the home of his daughter at Soquel....

He brought some money from the mines and invested it in stock and prospered. It was on his lonesome journey from the mines that an incident occurred which he was fond of relating. Lawlessness was supreme and murders were committed daily. Men were waylaid and robbed, and it was unsafe to travel alone. He was muleback and alone, and carried quite a sum of money with him. He tethered his mule, built a campfire, suppered, and retired in a clump of underbrush for the night. In the darkness of the morning he was aroused by unseemly noises and the crackling of the brush about him. Grabbing his gun, he arose from his bed of bark and fern and was just about to fire when the long ears of his mule wagged a warning from an opening in the bushes. The faithful animal had broken loose and was searching for his master.

Mr. Willson married Mrs. Mary Rhodes in 1855. She had previously crossed the plains with a party and settled in San Ysidro. Her husband being drowned while attempting to ford a stream when they were coming out. She had one child who is now the wife of Constable Jack White of this city. The couple prospered, Mr. Willson acquiring land and cattle and successfully trading with the Spaniards. A relic of these early transactions is an old iron kettle weighing 1830 pounds, now on the Willson premises at San Ysidro and used for a watering trough during the dry year of 1864 when stockmen were compelled to kill their cattle. Mr. Willson cooked and fed 1000 head to his hogs, using the old iron caldron to cook the meat in. From that date he gave up the cattle business and has ever since worked at his trade.

The fruit of his union with Mrs. Rhodes is eight children. Six daughters and two sons. Oscar and William, Mrs. Fidelia White, Mrs. Mary Dexter, Mrs. Mattie Rife and Mrs. Hattie Peck, all of San Ysidro. Mrs. Ella Brown of Rucker, and Mrs. Annie Sawyer of Soquel. All married and with families except William Willson.

Mr. Willson survived his wife by six years. He has two brothers and two sisters surviving him: Dan Willson of San Juan, Albert Willson of San Felipe, Mrs. Eames of Chico, and Mrs. Carlon Aldrich of Illinois. Mr. Willson was sick but two days. He was 77 years and six months old. He had simply lived out his life. He leaves 19 acres of rich land in San Ysidro valued at perhaps $300 per acre. It is said that he had papers drawn up distributing the estate, but had failed to sign them, and that now the property will have to go through the courts.

Last year when the Pioneers met in San Jose, Mr. Willson had the pleasure of greeting two of the men who came around the horn with him. One of them is now living in the Garden City.

The funeral services were held at one o'clock today at the family residence. Internment being made in the Masonic and Odd Fellows Cemetery."

"Gilroy, Saturday, Feb. 1, 1902, PASSING OF A PIONEER .... A train of carriages a mile in length followed the hearse carrying his body to the grave. Rev. Irons of the Methodist Church and the church choir contributed prayers, readings and hymns at the home and the graveside. And six veteran friends of the deceased served as pallbearers, namely: H. D. VanSchaiek, James Phegley, A. Gilman, Richard Taylor, J. W. Thomasson and Joseph Rice. Many mourners were grouped around the burial lot, children, grandchildren, brothers and others who felt the sadness all feel in paying the last respects to an old friend...." (R‑14)

Daniel Willson (1226) was born 22 Jan. 1827 in Swanzey, N.H., and died 17 April 1906 in San Juan, Calif. He first married Vincenta Sanchez, daughter of Don Jose Maria Sanchez and Maria Ortega of San Juan Bautista, Calif., on 24 March 1854. He secondly married Malvina Weston Smith on 13 July 1868 in Santa Cruz, Calif. All his children were born in San Juan, Calif.

"One evening in 1852, Dan Willson stopped on the road just south of the Sanchez Hacienda to make camp on the banks of the Pajaro River. Don Sanchez rode out and insisted that no one stopped on his ranch but guests, and invited Willson to the Hacienda.

This was the beginning of Willson's relationship with the Sanchez family. During the rest of that year and all of the next, Willson was employed on the estate at the Llamo do Tesqueaquita or the Soap Ranch.

After the death of Sanchez, his wife Chona instructed Willson to carry on the soap making trade with the Yankee Clipper at Monterey and to make an accounting when he had money matters with the estate. This he did very well.

Chona's second and third husbands, Golden and Dr. Sanford, did not interfere with this part of the estate's operation.

It seems that Willson did not become involved with events that were building up, but instead kept to the business at hand.

On March 24, 1854, Dan Willson and fifteen year old Vincenta Sanchez, the oldest Sanchez daughter, were married. There followed a series of court proceedings involving the newlywed couple regarding the guardianship of Vincenta.

A change in venue from Monterey to Stockton succeeded in deciding Willson to be the guardian of his wife.

This was a happy marriage for twelve years, and they became the parents of six children. They were divorced in July of 1866." (R‑14)

Albert Willson (1227) was born 10 March 1829 in Keene, N.H., and died 15 Sept. 1904 in Gilroy, Calif. He married Eliza Jane Hildebrandt on 12 March 1856. All their children were born in Gilroy, Calif.

"In the death of Albert Willson, which occurred Sept. 15, 1904, Santa Clara Co. lost one of her early pioneers. For nearly a century he had made his home on a farm about nine miles south of Gilroy, where he engaged in general farming and dairying. Inheriting in a marked degree the habits of industry, frugality, and thrift characteristic of his New England ancestors, he lent material aid in developing the agricultural interests of this part of the state, and by wisely directed toil cleared and improved a fine homestead. A son of Charles Willson, he was born March 10, 1829, in Keene, Cheshire Co., N.H....

The fifth child and youngest son of a family consisting of five sons and two daughters, Albert Willson acquired the rudiments of his education in the district schools, completing his studies in the academy in West Brattleboro, Vt. Subsequently, in Randolph, Mass., he learned the brick mason's trade with his brother, Hiram, with whom he lived three years. Mr. Willson started by way of the Isthmus of Panama for California, sailing from New York Jan. 9, 1852, and arriving in San Francisco Feb. 15, having walked across the Isthmus. He was accompanied by five companions on this eventful journey, and of these he is the sole survivor. The first month after coming to the coast, Mr. Willson worked on the canal at Robinson Ferry, after which he lived for four years at Shaw's Flat.

March 13, 1856, the day after his marriage, he came with his bride to Santa Clara Co., locating on the Soap Ranch, now known as the San Felipe district. The following year he moved to an adjoining ranch, renting the homestead property, upon which he made his home at the time of his death. Laboring with that earnestness of purpose and persistency that is bound to win success, he accumulated money, and in 1867 purchased the land on which he had been living, becoming the owner of 500 acres of land. He later bought adjoining land, and in all owned a valuable farm of 617 acres, which in its improvements and appointments was among the best in that section of the county. In 1888 Mr. Willson bought 160 acres of land in Fresno Co., near Del Rey, and was there engaged in raising alfalfa, fruit and grapes until 1903, when he returned to the old homestead, located on the Pacheco Pass Road, nine miles from Gilroy, as above stated. He made a specialty of dairying, keeping about one hundred head of cattle, and having a fine cheese factory in which he manufactured full cream cheese.

At Shaw's Flat, March 12, 1856, Mr. Willson married Eliza Jane Hildebrandt, who was born in Mount Auburn, Shelby Co., Indiana. Her father, A. W. Hildebrandt, a native of Ohio, moved first to Indiana, from there going with his family to Iowa. Crossing the plains to California in 1853, he located at Shaw's Flat as a miner. From there he went to Soap Ranch, where he embarked in farming and stock-raising, and was afterward similarly employed in the Pajaro valley. He subsequently moved to Gilroy, where he lived retired from active pursuits until his death in 1898.

Mr. and Mrs. Willson became the parents of three children, namely: Carlon R., who superintends his farming interests; Frederick Warren, a farmer living near the old homestead; and Charles S. Politically, Mr. Willson was a loyal adherent of the Republican party, and for many years rendered excellent service as a school director. In 1872 Mr. and Mrs. Willson made a trip to New England, visiting friends and relatives in New Hampshire and other states. In 1900 Mr. Willson made a trip along the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, again visiting his old home in New England, being away from home six months and having a most enjoyable time." (R‑14)

CHILDREN OF ADDISON GRAVES (654) AND SARAH M. YOEMANS

Darwin E. Graves (1268) is of unknown parentage. He was raised in the Addison Graves household. He ran away from home about 1849 or before, and never returned to live at home as far as is known. He joined a whaling fleet out of San Francisco and had some hard experiences at sea. On March 10, 1853, Darwin was at Oahu, Sandwich Islands (later Hawaiian Islands). He was 5 ft. 7 in. tall and weighed 145 pounds. In Oct. 1853 a letter was received from him at Honolulu telling about the rough life of a whaler.

Jan. 22, 1854, Darwin had arrived back in the States and was at Fort DeMoines working. March 23, 1856 he was in Fort Disiblernes, Mich. He must have come home in 1856, although there is no mention of Addison seeing him in Boston or Portland, Maine. After that there is no further trace of him. (R‑7)

William Norris Graves (1269) was born 4 March 1843, died 27 May 1903, and was buried in the cemetery behind the Church-on-the-Green, Belchertown, Mass. He was a son of Stillman Yeomans and Sarah Holloway, and was taken to live with Addison and Sarah when his mother died in 1844. He first married Lois P. Dickinson on 20 Oct. 1864. She died 12 May 1873. He secondly married Eva S. Bennett on 10 July 1874. He lived in Southampton, Mass. (R‑7, R‑201)

William Wallace Hebbard (or Hibbard) (1328) was born 9 March 1824 (or 1823) in Lisbon, Me., and died 9 Dec. 1889 in Nashua, N.H. He married Martha S. Benjamin, daughter of Dr. Daniel Benjamin of North Granby, Conn. She died in 1856. Most of what follows is from the Nashua Telegraph, 10 Dec. 1889. Doctor Hebbard was a self-made man in all that the word implies. His father was a lumberman with a large family, and this son supported himself by manual labor from the time he was six years old, buying his time of his father at the age of twelve. At this time he bought and sold logs on his own account, earning sufficient to get some primary schooling. He improved every opportunity for study, and in a few years he was a teacher of penmanship and several branches in general education. At the age of eighteen he studied for the ministry, and shortly after was licensed as a preacher. At the time of his marriage his wife's father suggested that he could not get a living in the ministry and that he study medicine, a suggestion which he acted upon and was graduated from the Medical School of Harvard College. He practiced for a time in Fall River, Mass. and later at Waltham, Mass., where he remained until 1854, during those years preaching occasionally. He was a born orator, a fervent religionist, an ardent temperance man, known widely as a literary man who did a large amount of work in both prose and poetry. He was, perhaps, most widely known by his lectures on Physiology and Health, which he delivered in all of the New England and middle states, and in other states as far west as the Mississippi River. They were highly commended by the leading educators of this country. The estimate in which he was held by leading men of the time is abundantly shown by autograph letters found among his effects, from such men as Edward Everett, Wendell Phillips, William Lloyd Garrison, Henry Ward Beecher, T. DeWitt Talmage, William Cullen Bryant, H. W. Longfellow, James G. Blaine, and others of equal fame. (R‑200)

Wilson Graves (1412) was born 25 May 1810 in Corinth, Washington Co., N.Y.

Amarilla was a daughter of George Darby (born 28 May 1792 in Halfmoon, Saratoga Co., N.Y., died 2 July 1862 in Alburg, Vt., soldier in the War of 1812) and his wife Rebecca Steenberge (born 6 June 1797 in Halfmoon, died 11 April 1882 in Alburg, Vt.).

Mark was the last survivor of his family. According to an old sketch of the family, "In his early manhood he learned the carpenter's trade which he followed with varying fortune. At different times being of an inventive mind, he originated many useful inventions, but as it too often happens, others with less brains but more scheming abilities, reaped most of the profits.... At times he possessed considerable property, but the fickle turns in fortune's wheel had deprived him of most of it at the time of his death.

He was of a kindly disposition and was the fearless outspoken defender of those who could not speak for themselves, our dumb creatures, and was for many years a member of the Chicago Society for prevention of cruelty to animals, and since his residence in Wolfeboro he has been the means of more humane methods being employed in the conveyance of dumb animals from place to place.... He has three cousins living on his father's side, one in Nova Scotia, one in Boston, and one in Wolfeboro.... The deceased was buried in the cemetery at North Wolfeboro, Dec. 31st." (R‑5, R‑201)

CHILDREN OF SAMUEL GRAVES (821) AND REBECCA YOUNG

Lindley Graves (1546) was born 21 Nov. 1823 in Leeds, Androscoggin Co., ME, or Digby, Nova Scotia, Canada (according to his death record), and died 23 Dec. 1897 in Etna, ME, of “old age”. The 1860 census for Bangor, ME and the 1880 census for Etna, ME listed him as born in Maine, but the 1900 census for his widow and his daughters Ruby and Mina listed him as born in Canada[6]. He was a farmer, and was also listed as a sea captain. His wife Julia was listed as head of household in the 1900 census for Etna, ME, confirming that he had indeed died by 1900. Although Lindley was believed (by some descendants) to have arrived in America from Scotland or possibly England, it may have been one or both of his parents (or earlier ancestors) who were from Scotland.

He married Julia Blaisdell Hutchings (or Hutchins) on 20 Jan. 1853 in a civil ceremony in Penobscot Co., ME (according to county marriage records, as recorded in the IGI). She was born about 1830 in Sedgwick, ME (also noted as Orland, ME and Penobscot, ME), and died 2 Sept. 1910 in Etna, ME, of chronic albumenaria, daughter of Hanson Hutchings and Nancy Stover[7]. They settled in Etna, ME, and he worked in a cannery in Bangor, ME. The 1900 census indicated they had 9 children, with 8 still living in 1900. All the children listed below were shown in the 1880 census, except for Eliphalet (who probably died before 1870) and the last two. Calvin and Frank have not been found in any census records, and it is possible that they were not children of Lindley. (R‑55, R‑58)

CHILDREN OF CHARLES GRAVES (823) AND PAULINA RIDLEY

Osgood Graves (1551) was born 16 Dec. 1829 and died 1 Aug. 1902, both in Wayne, Maine. He first married Eliza Jenkins Ridley on 24 (or 2) Jan. 1848 in Wayne. She was born 17 June 1831 in Wayne, and died 29 July 1854, daughter of Captain Benjamin Ridley and Eliza Jenkins (daughter of Hamilton Jenkins). Osgood's mother and Eliza's father were brother and sister, making Osgood and Eliza first cousins.

He secondly married Mercy M. Bishop on 2 July 1855. She was born 7 June 1834, and died after 14 Dec. 1858 but before the 1860 U.S. census. She was a daughter of Squire Bishop who married Hannah Merey in Nov. 1827, and served in the Civil War.

Osgood thirdly married Ellen A. Bishop some time between 1860 and 1867. Ellen was a younger sister to Mercy. The 1860 census shows Ellen to be 21 years of age and living with her father, Squire Bishop. Ellen was born in 1839 and died in 1890.

Osgood lived on a farm 3/4 mile north of the village of Wayne, Me., formerly belonging to his grandfather Joshua and later to Squire Bishop, father of his second and third wives.

In late March 1858, Osgood and two companions left Wayne to seek their fortune in California. The two companions were probably Lafayette Burgess, husband of Osgood's sister Hannah, and Joshua Ridley, born 30 May 1834, son of Daniel Ridley and Reliance, probably a cousin of Osgood.

At that time Osgood had six children ranging in age from 1 to 10 years. His father and mother also lived on the farm with Osgood's family.

It is not known how the three young adventurers got to New York City, but it probably was by stagecoach. On April 2, 1858 Osgood wrote his father Charles that he and Joshua and Lafayette had bought tickets to sail on Monday, April 3, 1858 to the "Ismus" of Panama and for the "Golden Age" to California. Tickets cost $140 from outsiders as tickets were all gone at the office.

On May 19, 1858 at the Isthmus of Panama, Osgood wrote that he and Joshua had been very sick, but had made it to Panama. Lafayette had been well. At Panama they had to walk about 50 miles to the Pacific coast. It was probably at this time that Osgood was exposed to malaria and/or yellow fever.

On May 29, 1858, writing from Sacramento, Calif., Osgood told of the terrible 5-day storm the ship encountered between New York and Cuba. At one point the Captain had a man with an axe poised to cut down the mast, but decided to wait a little longer, and then the wind started to let up. He also wrote that he had not had anything to eat for four days in Sacramento as there was a food shortage and "money can't buy food." He also said he was leaving for the North. It was probably about this time that he received a letter from his father with the news that his second wife, Mercy, was pregnant with Osgood's seventh child.

On Sept. 19, 1858 Osgood wrote that he had had chills and fever for six weeks and that four men had died last night where he was staying. He also said that he was either going South or would start for home and that Joshua was fine.

At that time there were only wagon trails west of St. Louis, Mo., with many warring Indians along the way. Roland B. Graves wrote that his grandfather, Benjamin R. Graves, told him that since Osgood had no money left he had no choice but to walk home to Maine from California, which he did. Since Lafayette's wife was in Maine and Joshua was still with Osgood when he last wrote home, it is probable that the three young men walked home together, but all that is certain is that Osgood did.

Osgood's seventh child, Charles Osgood Graves, was born on December 14, 1858, and it is very likely that Osgood reached home in Wayne, Me. before that date.

According to John Card Graves, Osgood married Annie F. Gould, daughter of Cyrus Gould, after Mercy. However, that is apparently not correct, since Annie and Osgood both died in 1902, and Annie married Osgood's son Charles O. Graves. (R‑13, R‑201)

Cynthia Graves (1818), birth date not known, died 6 Jan. 1890, and was buried in Laurel, Montana. She married Alfred Bruce Barott on 24 Sept. 1852 in Mayfield, Wisc.

Alfred was born 11 Feb. 1830 in Volney, N.Y., where he spent his early years. He left home in 1848 at the age of 18 to travel to Wisconsin with his brother Luther ("Lute"). In the following years he worked on Great Lakes sailing ships, on a river boat on the Mississippi, and with a timber cruising outfit in Minnesota. He spent some time traveling and exploring in Wisconsin and Minnesota. After returning to Wisconsin, he worked as a scout and hunter for immigration wagon trains going to Wisconsin from New York.

After marrying in 1852, Alfred and Cynthia lived in Mayfield, Wisc. for the next two years. In 1854 they moved to Minnesota with Alfred's brother Lute and his family, where they each bought farms in Blue Earth Co. They returned to Wisc. in the fall of 1856, and purchased an 80 acre farm 70 miles from Mayville. They lived there for about 6 years, during which time their first 3 children were born.

In 1861 they again moved west to Minnesota, and settled on a farm near Lake Crystal, again in Blue Earth Co., and it was there that their son Elmer Ellsworth was born. They had been living there for less than a year when they were forced to flee for their lives when the Sioux uprising of 1862 occurred. They stayed for a short time in Mankato, Minn., and then returned to Mayville, Wisc. After visiting there for a few months, in the spring of 1863 they returned to Minn., probably St. Paul.

They moved to Centerville, Minn. (near St. Paul), probably in 1865, built a large house, and lived there for a number of years. On 9 Oct. 1872, Alfred bought a farm in Columbus Township, Anoka Co., Minn., and this became his permanent home, except for the time he spent in Tamarack in Aitken Co. between 1889 and 1904. In addition to running a farm, he raised bees and sold honey.

Alfred died 19 Feb. 1920 at the home of his son, Elmer, and was buried in Oak Park Cem., Forest Lake, Minn. (R‑39, R‑208)

Fayette became the Secretary and Assistant Superintendant of Doe Run Lead Co. They lived in Doe Run, St. Francois Co., MO. Fayette and Mary became extremely wealthy, lived extraordinary lives in great luxury, and gathered grand collections of gems and minerals, many of which are in the Missouri state capital exhibit, etc. Unfortunately, they ended up losing everything.

The family was listed in the 1880 census in Perry, St. Francois Co., MO, with Fayette listed as a book keeper. Mary was listed as age 28 (born about 1852 in MO), with her father and mother both born in TN. In their household were two children, John and Kate, two servants, Rosa Willburn and Mary Blackwell, a nephew, A. Woodsides, age 14, attending school, and 2 other men, probably boarders.

Mary Susanna Graves spent most of her childhood days at sea on board the ship "Castillian". Her mother attained the honor of becoming a skilled navigator, at one time sailing the ship when, through an accident, her husband had been compelled to relinquish command. Together they had crossed the ocean many times, and sailed once around the globe, but most voyages were made around the horn. Her father's vessels were in the guano trade. Her husband Edward, being in the lumber trade, built many of the cottages on Plum Island, many of which are still standing today.

There are many papers and ship models at the Historical Society in Newburyport concerning this branch of the Graves family. (R‑11)

Edwin Willson (2073) was born 14 July 1855 and died 1937, both in Gilroy, Calif. He married Dolly Reither on 1 July 1874 in Gilroy. At least their first 3 children were born in Gilroy.

The following two articles are from Mr. Cecil H. Grider. "The most important agricultural movement in this county at the present time is in the direction of substituting stock raising for the growing of cereals and cotton. As a result, the farmers in various parts of the county are turning their attention more and more to stock farming and grass culture, the government giving encouragement to the movement in the belief that it will put agriculture on a more profitable basis. A splendid example of one who has followed this line of agriculture from early childhood in California, his native state, is Edwin Willson, a prosperous rancher, who resides two miles east of Gilroy, on the Old Gilroy Road. Born in Old Gilroy, Santa Clara Co., July 14, 1855, Mr. Willson is the oldest living child of Horace and Eunice (Chickering) Willson.

Reared in his native locality, Mr. Willson attended the common schools of Gilroy, and took a finishing course in the Gilroy high school. At eighteen he left home and devoted his time to stock-raising, which has occupied his attention ever since. From the first, he entered into the work heartily, and the success he enjoys today is but a natural result. His occupation has been a constant source of pleasure to him, and it has been his pride to do everything in the best possible manner. He established the ranch known as the Hot Springs Range, and here he has two thousand acres, fenced with wire fencing, devoted to raising stock and hay. Upon his place, which is about two miles from Gilroy, he built a handsome and convenient residence and otherwise improved his ranch, which is well located and highly productive. His home place on the Old Gilroy Road contains 33 acres, planted in orchard and hay.

By his marriage, Mr. Willson was united with Dolly Rither, a native of Santa Clara Co., and a daughter of Jacob Rither, one of the early settlers of Gilroy. Four children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Willson, and their eldest child, Clara Pacific, was the first child born in the Pacific grove. The others are called Lottie, Lyman, and Vesta. On the 29th of March, 1902, Mrs. Willson died, and her demise was deeply deplored, not only by her family, but by a large circle of friends.

Politically, Mr. Willson is a faithful adherent of the Republican party, and he is one of the substantial men of his locality. His influence in the political field is far reaching."

"March 29, 1902, DEATH OF MRS. ED WILSON After suffering for several weeks with a painful complication of troubles, Mrs. Dolly Willson, beloved wife of Edwin Willson and mother of Mrs. Clara Rayburn, Mrs. Lottie Fulle, Miss Vista Willson, and Lyman Willson, has passed to her home beyond. The death messenger came on Saturday evening, March 29th, and was not unexpected.

Mrs. Willson was a native of Gilroy. Aged 45 years, 1 month, and 5 days. The second daughter of Jacob Reither and his first wife, who was Miss Hollaway.

Her life was spent in this valley. When a little girl, her mother died and with two sisters, now Mrs. Wheeler Dexter and Mrs. Belle Satterwhite, she made her home for a time with Mrs. Charles Brewer until her father's second marriage. She was educated here, and on July 1, 1874 was united in marriage to Edwin Willson...

Mrs. Willson was a true helpmate to her husband from the start. Her one object in life was to possess a comfortable home, and together they toiled for over 25 years, at last realizing their hopes by building a beautiful home last year, which she lived to enjoy only 13 months....

The funeral was one of the largest ever seen here, the procession being over a mile long. Dr. Conn delivered the funeral address and a choir furnished hymns. Many beautiful floral offerings mark the last resting place of this good woman." (R‑14)

"One of the many worthy citizens and capable and industrious agriculturists of Santa Clara Co. is Lyman Willson, a well-known farmer, stock-raiser, and dairyman, who was born in Old Gilroy on the homestead where he now resides, March 19, 1858. Obtaining the first knowledge of books in the common schools of his native town, he completed his early education at McClure's Academy, in Oakland, and was afterward engaged in business as a cattle raiser and dealer with his father and brother Edward, owning the Gilroy ranch, and also having land at Hot Springs.

Going to the eastern part of Oregon in 1879, Mr. Willson worked on a cattle ranch as cowboy for two years, being located in Klamath Co. Returning home in 1881, he was prosperously engaged in buying and shipping cattle for a number of seasons. From 1890 until 1898, he resided in Salinas, being employed in the transfer business. Returning in that year to the old homestead, Mr. Willson has since carried on general farming, including stock-raising and dairying, and in his chosen vocation has been very successful. He has made many improvements which have greatly increased the utility and value of the estate, rendering it exceedingly desirable. He has a large pumping plant, by which he irrigates the land, forty acres of which he devotes to the raising of alfalfa. He has a fine orchard of seven acres, in which he raises peaches and apricots, gathering good crops each year. He takes special interest in matters pertaining to the dairy, being an authority on all questions connected with the production of milk, and in 1902 and 1903 worked for the State Dairy Bureau as dairy inspector of Santa Clara, San Benito, Monterey, Merced, and Stanislaus counties. Mr. Willson married Nettie Cavanaugh, a native of Gilroy, Calif., and they have one child, Minnie Leola. Politically, Mr. Willson is a staunch Republican, and fraternally he belongs to Gilroy Lodge, I.O.O.F. and to the Rebekahs." (R‑14)

CHILDREN OF ELIZA HIBBARD (1283) AND ELISHA G. BABCOCK

Henry Homes Babcock (2149) was born 19 Dec. 1832 in Thetford, Vt., and died 7 Nov. 1881 in Chicago, Ill. He married Mary Porter Lincoln Keyes, daughter of Rollin Webb Keyes, on 30 July 1861 in Somerville, Mass. She was born 8 Feb. 1843 in Putney, Vt. "He had spent his life in the pursuit of knowledge, the profession of teaching, and the service of scientific societies." Their first four children were born in Somerville, Mass., and their last four in Chicago, Ill.

"He came to Chicago in 1867, after an honorable career as a teacher in the schools of Massachusetts, and soon became the principal and the proprietor of the Chicago Academy, and remained in that position 'til the time of his decease. He was Professor of Botany in the Chicago College of Pharmacy and director of the Botanical Garden, and in that department achieved a wide and merited distinction. He was a leading member of the Illinois State Microscopical Society and at one time held the presidency of that body. He was long identified with the Chicago Academy of Natural Sciences, and was president of that institution when he died.

He was one of the founders of the Union Swedenborgian Church of Chicago, and was also president of that organization at the time of his departure for the eternal world. He was also a highly esteemed member of the Chicago Literary Club, and his name was upon the Scheme of Exercises, at the time of his death, as the leader appointed to conduct a conversation on 'Our Native Flora' at the meeting to be held the 8th day of May.

In all positions he did his work well. In manner, he was kind and dignified; in spirit, noble; in character, pure; in conduct, just; in scholarship, eminent; and in devotion to duty, unswerving.

In vol. II, no. 1, Bulletin of the Chicago Academy of Sciences, we have a brief sketch of the life and work of Mr. Babcock, from which we extract the following: 'Henry Homes Babcock was born of New England parentage, Dec. 19, 1832. Both of his parents were educated people, his father being a Congregational clergyman and a graduate of Amherst College, and his mother a graduate of Bradford Academy when that school was under the directorship of Hon. Benjamin Greenleaf, of mathematical fame. From both, therefore, he inherited scholarly tastes and aptitudes, and from early childhood he breathed an atmosphere of culture and refinement. We need not be surprised that he early manifested a preference for scholarly pursuits or that he was fully prepared for college while yet much too young to enter. His surroundings at this early period of his life seem also to have been peculiarly fitted to awaken in the mind of so thoughtful a youth a love of natural history pursuits.

He was the eldest of five children, and when, at the age of sixteen, his father died and his mother was left with but limited means, the burden of the support of the family partly devolved upon him and interfered with his cherished hope of completing a full course at college. Nevertheless, by close economy and by employing his vacations in teaching, he was enabled to spend two profitable years at Dartmouth College. At the end of this time, at the age of nineteen, he was obliged to lay aside his college studies for good, and accepted a teacher's position in the public schools of Dedham, Mass. Here his work was so acceptable that at the end of eighteen months he was invited to become the master of the grammer school in Newton, a position which he accepted and filled to the utmost satisfaction for a period of six years. The reputation which he there acquired as a kind and judicious disciplinarian and an accurate and thorough teacher procured him an invitation to the principalship of the high school in Somerville, Mass. Here he taught with the highest success for eight years, resigning his position in 1867 to come to Chicago. The fullness of his knowledge, together with the rare ability to impart it, his unostentatious dignity, kindness of heart, and graciousness of manner, soon won him the respect and confidence of this community, and made the Chicago Academy, which he founded in 1867, and conducted until the close of his life, one of the most successful private schools in the city.

Moreover, his ripe scholarship and scientific knowledge soon made him a prominent factor in the intellectual activities of the city.

His ability as a botanist was thoroughly appreciated by his co-laborers in the same science. His knowledge of the subject was extensive, varied, and accurate. As a collector and observer he was indefatigable. His recognized ability led to his selection for the directorship of the Chicago Botanical Garden, and he engaged in this work with his characteristic energy and zeal, with industry so indefatigable that in an astonishingly short time there had grown up a botanic garden which gave promise of rapidly taking a first place among enterprises of the kind in this country.

But to the shame of the city, be it said, that she permitted a work so auspiciously begun to fail for lack of friendly support. She threw away the opportunity which was within her grasp of securing a distinction worthier than that of a mere center of wealth and business enterprise. In the autumn of 1877 the South Park Commissioners notified the director and managers that the garden would be discontinued. Here were the labor and the hope of years brought to naught; scientific treasures of inestimable value were wasted; faith with contributors was violated; the cause of science in Chicago was disgraced. Could anything more crushing than this happen to a sensitive nature like that of Professor Babcock? He was wont to say little about this, the great misfortune of his life, but he felt the disappointment most keenly, and there is little doubt that it had to do with the undermining of a constitution already somewhat impaired by close and long-continued application to study.'"

CHILDREN OF JAMES M. GILMAN (1482) AND LAURA F. GRAVES

Ida M. Gilman (2388) was born 22 April 1859 in Portland, Oregon, and died 2 Dec. 1893 of a heart attack in Portland, after having a stillborn child. She married Albert McKinnie on 26 June 1882 in Portland. They were married by a Unitarian minister in her parents' home. He was born 17 Aug. 1851 in Cadiz, Ohio, died 11 March 1918 in Chinook, Montana, and was buried in Chinook. He had been married previously and had a daughter, Eleanor, born 1871-73. He was in Portland in 1881. Although Ida and Albert had been left a small fortune, it was lost as a result of Albert's financial speculation plus the panic of 1893. Albert, broke and a widower, took his 12 year old son and a Chinese houseboy to a friend who had a dude ranch in Wyoming. He left the boys, saying he would keep in touch and return or send for his son. He didn't return until 1917 when he appeared out of nowhere in Chinook, Montana, where his son was then living. (R‑5)

LaForest Edward Graves (2424) was born 9 Aug. 1868 and died 26 Dec. 1930. He graduated from Maine Central Institute (MCI) in 1887, then entered Bates College and attended for three years. He suffered "brain fever", more likely the desire to play semi-pro baseball, which he did in the Maine-Maritime Provinces League as a pitcher, first baseman and short-stop. As a prep and college student of that era he could, of course, write and read Latin and Greek. He enlisted in Battery C, First Heavy Artillery, Maine Volunteers, on May 2, 1898 as a Corporal. He went to Havana, Cuba in the Spanish-American War, and was mustered out Nov. 20, 1899.

He enlisted in the Maine National Guard in 1911 and was appointed First Sergeant of a provisional infantry company led by a cousin, discharged, end of contract, 1914.

He was also leader of a girls' drill team sponsored by the Uniformed Rank of the Knights of Pythias (Myrtie was a member). He was also a Mason.

For several years (2078-1925?) he owned and operated an electrical contracting business in Sanford, Maine. He then returned to Pittsfield, where he was a lineman for the Maine Central Power Company. He and his son, Forrest, often went to Boston to see the Red Sox or the Braves play.

He married Myrtie Hodgkins in 190-. She was born Sept. 1876 and died Jan. 1960. She was one of ten children, and related to the Haskell family.

3256. Etta Graves, m. Frederick D. Rokes, 24 May 1905. He was a carpenter, a resident of Whitinsville, Mass., and was the son of Phineas P. Rokes.

Benjamin Ridley Graves (2472) was born 22 Dec. 1853 in Wayne, Maine, and died 27 Sept. 1935 in Whitinsville, Mass. He spent his boyhood on his father's farm in Wayne. He attended school several miles from his home, and in the winter would sometimes travel on snowshoes or occasionally by horseback.

He went to Whitinsville, Mass. on Feb. 24, 1872 and started work in the Whitin Machine Works as an apprentice machinist, agreeing to serve his time for three years. This company later became the largest manufacturer of textile machinery in the world, with up to 5000 employees.

He worked in the Card Dept. for one year and was transferred to the Planer Dept. for four months. He was then transferred to the Railway Dept. for the remainder of his training.

Benjamin first married Abigail Maria Jillson on 18 July 1874 in Northbridge, Mass. She was born 10 Aug. 1853 in Mendon, Mass., daughter of Stephen C. Jillson and Mary Abigail Taft. Mary was born 31 May 1827, daughter of Reubin Taft and Sarah Sterns, whose marriage intentions were published 30 Jan. 1819. Abigail had three sons by Benjamin and a daughter, Mae Bertha, born in Providence, R.I. after she left Benjamin in 1882.

On Sept. 22, 1875, Benjamin and Abigail started home to Wayne, Me. shortly after Benjamin completed his apprenticeship, probably due to a severe business depression resulting in his layoff. The following March 5, 1876 their son Henry Adalbert was born in Wayne. On Oct. 18, 1876 they returned to Northbridge Center, Mass. (gone 1 year and 26 days) and Benjamin returned to work at the Whitin Machine Works with no loss of seniority, working in the Card Dept. After a short time he was promoted to Assistant Foreman of the Card Dept. Then on Nov. 17, 1879 he was promoted to Foreman of the Lapper Dept. by Gustavis E. Taft, Agent.

On March 18, 1882, disaster struck the Graves household. Abigail left home, taking the youngest of her three sons with her, Lester who was age 2. It has been reported she ran off with the "Tea Man". This must have created quite a scandal in the small New England town in which they lived. Why this happened after 7 years of marriage and three children will probably never be known, but there were undoubtedly two sides to the story. On April 8, 1882, Abigail brought Lester back home to his father; he had been away 21 days.

On June 28, 1883, a daughter was born to Abigail in Providence, R.I. Benjamin records the date of birth as 15 months and 10 days after Abigail left home. On June 30, 1883, Benjamin and two friends, Deacon Merrick Taft of Northbridge Center and a Mr. Davis, went to visit Abigail in Providence and found her and the baby with her nurse, Mrs. Evans. Benjamin asked Abigail who the father was and she replied in the presence of the two male witnesses and Benjamin that the father was Edward O. Taylor of East Douglas, Mass.

However, Abigail reported on birth records that the name of the child was Mae Bertha Graves and that Benjamin was the father. Looking back from this point in time, what Abigail did was probably the kindest thing she could do for the sake of the child. Abigail had no grounds for divorce at the time, her last name was Graves, and the true father was no longer on the scene.

On Sept. 3, 1883, Benjamin sent Abigail a copy of the Notice of Divorce which he had obtained.

Abigail later married David Baten, who was born in 1853 and died in 1914. She died of cancer 23 March 1914, at age 60 years, 7 months and 13 days, and was buried on Chase Farm, Greenwood, R.I., and was later moved to Brayton Cem., 3438 Post Road, center of Warwick, R.I. On the gravestone it reads "Loved in life, mourned in death."

Mae Bertha Graves, her daughter, first married George Evans of Providence, R.I. (same last name as her mother's nurse). They had a son, Gerald Evans, an accountant, who married Marie Louise DeCormier. Both were killed on Route 140 in Norton, Mass. in an automobile accident and were buried in Mayflower Hill Cem., Taunton, Mass. Mae secondly married Paul Villeneave. She died at age 68 years, 5 months, and was buried in Mayflower Hill Cem., Taunton.

Another tragedy struck the Graves household on Sept. 30, 1883. Osgood Oscar Graves, the second son of Benjamin and Abigail, five years and nine months of age, fell out of a tree he was climbing and died as a result of his injuries. This was during the period after Abigail had left home and Benjamin had yet to remarry. However, it should be noted that the circumstances surrounding this accident are not known and it could have happened regardless of the family situation.

Benjamin secondly married Florence Elvira Stinchfield on 3 Aug. 1884. She was born 7 Jan. 1855 in East Livermore, Me., died 16 Feb. 1890 of consumption in Leeds, Me., and was buried in Pine Grove Cem., Whitinsville, Mass. She was a daughter of Thomas Jefferson Stinchfield and Eliza N. Gray of Monmouth, who were married 3 Aug. 1884. Florence was a younger sister to Elmira Samantha Stinchfield who married Leroy Graves, brother of Benjamin.

He thirdly married Sarah (McNeill) Brines, daughter of William McNeill and Mary Stuart, on 26 Nov. 1890. She was born 12 July 1861 in Greenock, Scotland, died 2 March 1896, and was buried in Pine Grove Cem., Whitinsville, Mass. She probably came to America with her oldest brother, Daniel, about 1880. She first married John D. Brines, who died in 1890. Their child, Adeline, age 6 months, 22 days, died shortly after her father, and both are buried in Pine Grove Cem., Whitinsville, Mass.

He married his fourth wife, Alice Eldora Weaver, daughter of Albert Weaver and Nancy P. Vose, on 1 Dec. 1897 in Portland, Me. She was born 3 April 1860 in Waldoboro, Me., died 4 March 1946, and was buried in Pine Grove Cem., Whitinsville, Mass. She had been a school teacher in Maine prior to her marriage, and after her marriage was very active in the Village Congregational Church in Whitinsville and also in various lodges and similar organizations. She held high positions at the local and state level in these organizations and was a national representative several times, travelling to distant cities in both the U.S. and Canada.

The following note was found in an old book belonging to Alice E. Weaver. John Vose and his family consisting of his wife and their two children, Nancy and Silas, moved into his new house on 22 Dec. 1845 -- the house had been built for two years. Nancy was 11 years of age and Silas was 6 years of age. Nancy eventually married Albert Weaver and they were the parents of Alice.

On May 2, 1899, a new department was started in the Whitin Machine Works, building Combers, Ribbon Machines, Ribbon Lap Machines and Sliver Lap Machines, and Benjamin was placed in charge. Later, Traverse Grinding Card Rolls, Long Grinding Card Rolls and Card Traverse Grinders were also manufactured. Benjamin was a skilled machinist and the work his department turned out was of the highest quality. Many of the machines he had charge of building were still operating 50 or more years after they were delivered to various countries throughout the world. The machines built on the "Comber Job" Dept. were in such great demand that eventually six additional departments were required to supply the necessary parts, rather than making the entire machine in one department as in the past.

Benjamin continued as Foreman of the Comber Job until he had a stroke in 1920 (at about age 67) which forced his retirement, after 48 years and 5 months of dedicated service. The company kept him on the records on a sick leave status so officially he became one of a large group of men with 50 years of service, at which time the company presented him with a "50 year" pin and a gold pocket watch.

During the time when Benjamin was actively employed and new employees were necessary, he was given the assignment to obtain more manpower for the company by going to Maine, travelling through the countryside by horse and wagon, and recruiting new workers to come to Whitinsville and work in the shop. Throughout the years he encouraged literally hundreds of young men to move to Whitinsville and work in the plant. The mode of transportation was generally by coastal steamer leaving Maine at Belfast, Rockland and Portland, with Boston as their first stop on the way to Whitinsville.

It is interesting to note that since Benjamin had been a Foreman and part of management for close to 50 years, he was entitled to a pension from the plant which amounted to a total of $15.00 per month, which he received until his death on 27 Sept. 1935. He was buried in Pine Grove Cem., Whitinsville, Mass.

Roland B. Graves has elaborated on the life of Alice Weaver, fourth wife of Benjamin as follows: "She graduated from a one-room schoolhouse in Waldoboro, Maine at the age of 16, passed a test and was certified to be a school teacher. She taught in a one-room schoolhouse in Warren, Maine for many years and in the early years of her teaching some of her pupils were older than she was. However, she was about five feet eleven inches tall, large boned and a commanding figure. She was always dignified and well prepared, so I feel certain she had the respect and cooperation from her students that she would have expected.

During the summer season when there was no school, she came to Westboro, Mass. and worked in a hat shop there. Benjamin's third wife had died in the spring of 1896, leaving him with 4 children ranging from the age of 5 years to 20 years. Therefore, in the summer of 1897, Benjamin courted Alice in Westboro, driving the distance of 16 miles each way by horse and wagon. The courtship proved successful as evidenced by their marriage on Dec. 1, 1897.

There must have been a period of difficult adjustment for all concerned in the Benjamin Graves household, for Alice was then almost 38 years of age and the Graves children had previously had up to 3 mothers and/or stepmothers. However, this marriage lasted until Benjamin's death about 38 years later.

One of the most serious diseases in the 19th century was tuberculosis. It was very contagious and was often brought on by drinking milk from cows that had tuberculosis. A great tragedy befell Alice one winter when her mother, Nancy Weaver, her sister, Flora Weaver, and her brother Benjamin all died of tuberculosis, probably brought on by drinking milk from infected cows. Alice probably survived because for some reason she did not drink cows milk. Pasteurization was not developed until late in the 19th century.

Alice was a member of the Rebekah Lodge which was the female branch of the Odd Fellows Lodge. She was also a member of the Pythian Sister Lodge which was the female branch of the Knights of Pythias Lodge. She went through the offices of both lodges and became active in the state organizations of both lodges, and in the process became well known as a public speaker. As a representative of the state organizations she attended many national conventions with most of her expenses paid for by the organizations. Long trips such as this were rare in those days, and it gave her the opportunity to visit the Grand Canyon, Yosemite, the California redwoods, Garden of the Gods, Lake Winnipeg in Manitoba, Canada, and many other scenic wonders. She had many pictures and would lecture on these trips upon her return.

Alice was also the teacher of the Young Men's Sunday School Class in the Village Congregational Church in Whitinsville. This was probably the largest and most successful class in the history of the church, having approximately 30 members. Alfred S. Graves, her stepson, and many of his friends were members of this class.

Alice was president of the 'Monday Club', a local organization in the town of Whitinsville. As president she was very instrumental in getting this club to join the General Federation of Women's Clubs which was founded in 1890 to unite the work of Women's Clubs throughout the world. She finished out her term as the first president of the new organization having successfully engineered the change.

She was very active in the Women's Christian Temperance Union started in Cleveland, Ohio in 1874 by a group of churchwomen. Its purpose was to teach boys and girls the effects of alcohol on the mind and body and get laws passed to prevent drinking and thereby reduce crime and accidents.

In addition, Alice was very active in the Women's Suffrage movement which was an important political issue in the United States for about 50 years, ending with the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment to the Constitution, which went into effect in 1920 and says a state may not deny the right to vote 'on account of sex'.

As a boy and young man in her home I can vividly recall how she hated the habit of cigarette smoking and rare was the person who dared smoke in her house. She observed the higher rate of early deaths among those who were heavy smokers and spoke out against the habit. This resulted in considerable ridicule of her opinions behind her back. However, after her death the U.S. government published the results of studies which proved she had been correct all along. If she knew this it would give her great satisfaction."

Benjamin's first child was born in Wayne, Me., and all the others in Northbridge, Mass. (R‑13)

The people named Graves living in Ackerland that year (according to the Directory) were Carrie, Charles, Clifford, Eugene, Frank, George F., Herbert, Howard, and Maud (Miller), all settled there in 1890.

On a website for Leavenworth Co., KS was found this information about Ackerland, KS. "My home is the old station masters house of a small line called a milk run line of a milk run of a railroad that ran through McLouth to Bashor. The stop here where I live was called Ackerland, and there was a weight scale and general store located in my back yard. My house is about 110 years old and you can still see the outline of the original house and its add-ons, including the station master's office which is now my bathroom. I was told by an older man that there was a filling station later placed somewhere here. My mother-in-law's house was a hotel and many years ago a woman in her eighties visited them and said she was born in their downstairs room off the living room. The daughter of Tom Bell who lived to be 100 years old said she could remember going to the general store in 1947. Our two homes are all that is left of Ackerland. I am looking for any history of the town and photographs if there are any... Roger Harsh, 1/9/1999." (R‑51)
