DESCENDANTS OF FREDERIC GRAVES AND MARGARET ‑‑‑‑‑‑

OF NY & VT

 

 

GENERATION 1

 

Frederic (or Frederick) Graves (1) was born about 1811 in NY or CT[1].  He married Margaret ‑‑‑‑‑‑.  She was born about 1812 in NY.  The family was listed in the 1850 census for Camden, Oneida Co., NY, and the 1860 census for Howard, Steuben Co., NY.  They were in the 1870 census for Tioga, Tioga Co., PA.  Frederic apparently served in the Civil War and had a pension record.  All their children were born in NY, except for Sarah and Frances, who were born in VT.

It seems possible that Frederick was descended from Thomas Graves of Hartford, CT (genealogy 168).  Other people living in Howard, Steuben Co., NY in 1860 were children of Charles Graves who married Eunice Nims, including Almond Graves and Alonzo Graves.  In that part of the family, the name Frederick A. Graves was used, and Pomeroy was used as a middle name (possibly the middle name of Charles P. Graves, son of Frederick and Margaret).  (R‑1)
