JOHN GRAVES
(JOHANN SEBASTIAN GRAFF)
Of Germany, PA, NC, and TN
and His Descendants
GENERATION 1
John Graves (1) is believed to have
been born about 1703 in the German Palatinate.
William Carroll Graves, a greatgrandson of John, in a genealogical
outline written in 1870, says that John died in 1804 at the age of 101.
Although the date of his arrival in
America is uncertain, it was probably 1730.
According to Roy Stockwell, the following record is from Pennsylvania Colonial Records, vol. 3,
p. 386: "At the courthouse in Philadelphia, Sept. 5, 1730, a list was
presented of the names of forty-six Palatines who, with their families making
in all 130 persons, were imported here in the ship Alexander and Ann, William
Clymer, master, from Rotterdam, but last in Deal." In this list appears the name of Johann
Sebastian Graff. It is probable that
this is the man whose name is recorded as John Graff, the father of Jacob and
Sebastian Graff, born in Berks Co., Pa., in 1746 and 1747. This may explain the origin of the name Boston,
the anglicized form of the name Sebastian, which "Old John" gave to
one of his children. The family name was probably not changed from Graff to
Graves until the family moved to North Carolina.
In what is now Alamance Co., but
until 1848 was Orange Co., N.C., was a settlement of Pennsylvania Dutch. The prevailing sect was the German Reformed
Church, and services continued in German until about 1800. On Stinking Quarter Creek, not far from the
present Burlington, N.C., was the Graves Church about where "Old John of
Stinking Quarter" lived. In the
1750's many "Pennsylvania Dutch" migrated to western North Carolina.
Old John moved there prior to 1757 (presumably from Berks Co., Pa.), and settled
on Stinking Quarter Creek, a branch of the Alamance.
W. C. Graves says that John moved
from North Carolina to East Tennessee when he was quite old. Records in Orange Co., N.C., show that John
deeded property in Orange Co. to his son Jacob on Nov. 22, 1799, so it is
probable he moved to Tenn. about 1800.
He lived in Tenn. with his grandson John (son of Jacob). He died on his grandson's farm and was
buried near the old Presbyterian church in Big Valley, Claiborne Co., Tenn.
The name of John's wife is
unknown. The list of arrivals contains
nothing to indicate whether he was married or had children prior to his arrival
in America. It is believed that John
had a large family, perhaps 17 children.
According to Roy Stockwell, the names of only five are known, not
necessarily born in the order shown.
However, T. H. R. Neal also names William. (R‑200, R‑203)

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (1)
Jacob Graves (2) was born 8 March
1746 in Greenwich Township, Berks Co., Pa.
His name appears in the Dunkel Church birth and baptism records,
Greenwich Twp., as John Jacob Graff. He
married Turley Coble, daughter of Anthony Coble. He appears to have served for a time in the British Army during
the Revolutionary War. This may be
explained by the fact that the Royal Governor (Tryon) forced those whom he
defeated at the battle of Alamance in 1771 to sign an oath of allegiance to the
Crown, and, being a very religious people, they either evaded service in the
Continental Army or fought for the King.
Jacob's will is dated April 9, 1820.
He died 10 April 1820, and was buried in the Stoner Cem., Alamance Co.,
N.C. He was a member of the Moravian
(Reformed) Church. Roy Stockwell states
that of the following eleven children, only John and Boston moved to Tennessee,
and it may be assumed that the others remained in North Carolina. (R‑200)

Boston Graves (3), sometimes known
as Sebastian Graff, was born 1 Oct. 1747 in Berks Co., Pa., and died 1 April
1840 in Knox Co., Tenn. He married
Sarah Efland (or Ephland or Ephlin), daughter of Peter Efland, in 1769 in
Orange Co., N.C. She was born in 1751
and died 28 Dec. 1842. Boston was a
blacksmith. During the Revolutionary
War he served as a private in Capt. William Rogers' company of Col. William
O'Neil's regiment of Orange Co., N.C. troops.
It is believed that he moved to Montgomery Co., Va. soon after the end
of the Rev. War. He moved to Knox Co.,
Tenn. before 1797, when he witnessed a deed.

OH. She married Henry Honas Sharp about
1759 in PA. He was born 4 May 1735,
possibly in Germany[1], died in
1814 in Harrison, Preble Co., OH, and was buried in Euphemia Cem. According to History of Preble Co., Ohio, 1881, Henry Sharp was a native of
Scotland but lived in Germany before coming to America. He and Barbara lived in Orange Co., N.C.
before 1785, and probably moved to Botetourt Co., Virginia about 1782. He apparently left Virginia for Tennessee in
1789, and moved to Preble Co., Ohio in 1805, where he died in 1814. (R‑4, R‑6)

Peter Graves (5) was born in North
Carolina, and died 13 Nov. 1794 at Sharps Chapel, Tenn. According to William H. Thomas (Roy
Stockwell's book), "On Nov. 13, 1794, Indians killed and scalped Peter
Graves near Sharp's Fort. In December
following, the fort was again assaulted, but Boston Graves, Henry Sharp, Conrad
Sharp and Levi Hinds defended and drove off the foe, the other men of the
settlement being at that time at Great Saltpeter Cove making gun powder in
anticipation of another raid. Peter
Graves was the first man buried at Sharp's Fort." He was married in N.C., but the name of his
wife is not known.

slightly earlier in 1860. He married
Ann (or Anny or Anna) Rutherford, daughter of Absalom and Mary Rutherford,
apparently in 1809. He bought the

William M. Graves (94) was born
about 1801 in TN, and died in 1896 in Mills River, Henderson Co., NC. He first married Susan Byrd on 19 July
1824. He married second Mary McK.
Holloway before 1835. She was born
about 1806 in TN or NC, and died in 1891 in Mills River, Henderson Co., NC. All their children were born in TN.
William Graves was in the 1850
census for Grainger Co., TN, his father was born in VA, and his mother was born
in NC. The gravestone of William and
Mary in the Mills River Presbyterian Church Cem., Mills River, NC, gives the
name of his wife as Mary Holloway Graves.
This is also the name given as John F. Graves' mother on his death
certificate.
The Mills River Presbyterian Church
traces its beginnings back to 1797 when a small log building was erected on 10
acres of land given by Col. James Brittain, to be used for religious and
schooling purposes. Known as Mills
River Academy, this first school in Henderson Co. held classes taught by the
Rev. David Haddon through the week, and held worship services on Sunday. Later, a new brick building was erected with
a school downstairs and church upstairs.
During the Civil War, two groups, The Old School and The New School,
united in common struggle to form one church.
The Mills River Presbyterian Church in Concord Presbytery, Synod of
North Carolina, was born in 1859. Rev.
William Graves served as pastor, and is buried in the church cemetery.
According to John Otis Graves, this
Graves family lived in Graves Town (now called Graveston), Knox Co., TN, and
John Temple Graves was a cousin. If
they were from Graveston, they were probably descended from immigrant John
Graves (Johann Sebastian Graff). The
preliminary test results from the Graves DNA study have confirmed that this
Graves family was indeed descended from Johann Sebastian Graff (genealogy 105).
On p. 75, 1991 Graves Family
Newsletter, is information about a William H. B. Graves who married
Isabella Marie Carriger (sister of Mary James Carriger who married John
Fielding Graves) on 22 Oct. 1877. She
was born 26 July 1855 and died 27 Dec. 1879.
They had no children. Since this
William is probably not the William who was a brother of John Fielding Graves,
perhaps he was a cousin. (R‑12)

Creek Cem., near Corryton, TN.
Nancy stayed at home while her
husband James and son Linville fought in the Civil War. She lived in the old Graves home on Tazewell

Nancy would barricade the doors and windows at night for protection from
marauding soldiers. The food, such as
meal, flour and meat, was hidden under a loose board in the kitchen floor. (R‑9)

Nicholas Tilman Gibbs (374) was
born 17 Oct. 1817 in Knox Co., TN, and died 2 April 1872 in IL. He married Angeline Graves, daughter of
Henry Graves and Elizabeth Miller, on 13 Aug. 1840 in Knox Co., TN. She was born in 1823 and died 6 April 1892.
A record of their family is
available from an old family Bible that was kept buried in the ground during
the Civil War. Of the 14 children of
Nicholas and Angeline, five of them failed to reach adulthood. Imagine the pain the family experienced when
three of their daughters died on three consecutive days in October 1854. The ten year old daughter Sarah died on 21
October, followed by 3 year old Mahala and 5 year old Rachel the next two days.
The family of Nicholas and Angeline
left Knox Co., TN in 1869 in an oxen-drawn covered wagon, intending to locate
in Missouri. They camped one night at
Crackers Neck, south of Pleasant Grove Methodist Church, west of McLeansboro,
IL. While there they learned Nicholas'
brother John and family lived only a few miles away. The next morning they went to see John and family. They decided to locate nearby on 40 acres
later (after 1977) owned by Gertrude Aiken in Knight's Prairie Township.
Nicholas had a lung disease and was
bedfast for three and one-half months.
His last words were, "I see three angels coming this way. Now one is going back, but the other two are
coming on. They are coming after
me. Heaven don't look like I thought it
would. It's beautiful … beautiful
beyond description. I want to go. Don't any of you miss it." (R‑9)
