Children - Graves
+15. Sarah L. Graves, b.c. 1829, m. Walter W. Scott.
16. Daniel Graves, b.c. 1832, never married, d. 14
Nov. 1882 (Port Byron, Cayuga Co., NY.).
+17. Lorenzo Graves, b.c. 1834, m. Elizabeth ‑‑‑‑‑‑,
d. 21 May 1862.
18. John G. Graves, b.c. 1838, d. 24 May 1850 (12
years old).
19. Hellen (or Ellen) Graves, b.c. 1848. Not married in 1880, when she was in the
census for Mentz, Cayuga Co., NY, telegraph operator, living with her mother.
Lewis Graves (9) was born 18 Feb.
1812 in VT, and died 26 July 1880. He
married Adeline Janes. She was born
about 1815 in NY, and died 25 July 1892.
They were in the 1850 census for Sodus, Wayne Co., NY, with his mother
living with them. They were in the 1860
census for Ward 10, Albany, Albany Co., NY, in the 1870 census for Newtown,
Queens Co., NY, and the 1880 census for Long Island City, Queens Co., NY. He was a medical doctor. All their children were born in NY.
The youngest child is somewhat
puzzling, both regarding name and date of birth. The 1850 census listed Ellen, age 5 (b.c. 1845), the 1860 census
listed Emma, 14, but no Ellen, the 1880 census listed Ellen as age 14, and R‑2
gave Ellen’s date of birth as 7 Sept. 1840.
It seems likely that the listing for Emma should have been Ellen, but it
also looks as if her date of birth must have been about 1845 rather than 1840. (R‑2)
