GENERATION 2
CHILDREN OF JOSEPH GRAVES (1) AND LUCY ------
John Frederick Graves (2) was born about 1832 in MS, and died
after 1880. He may have married
twice. Looking at the large space
between his first and second children and the two different names for his wife
on census records, the first child may have been by Jane and the others by
Sarena. In the 1850 census for Madison
Co., MS, he was listed as Frederick, 18, single, living with his parents. In the 1860 census for Madison Co., MS, he
was living next to his parents, he was listed as John, 26, and his wife was
Jane, 26. In the 1870 census for
Madison Co., MS, he was listed as John, 39, with wife Sarena, 39. In the 1880 census for Vernon, Madison Co.,
MS, he was listed as Fred, 48, widower, with the same 3 children as in 1870
plus Winston. He was a farmer, and all
his children were born in MS.

7. Lucy Graves, b.c. 1866.
8. Leonora Graves, b.c. 1868.
9. Winston Graves, b.c. 1870.
James Joshua Graves (5) was born in June 1840 in MS, and died
in 1910 in TX. He married Emily
(“Emma”) Elizabeth Wright, daughter of John T. Wright and Harriett E. Cook, in
1875 in TX. She was born in June 1851
in AL, and died in 1938 in TX. They
were in the 1880 census for Guadalupe Valley, Guadalupe Co., TX, when he was a
farmer. They were in the 1900 census
for Precinct 3, Bandera Co., TX, when 9 of Emma’s 10 children were still
living. His first child was born in MS,
and all the others in TX. It may be
that he was married twice, his first wife died before 1870, and his oldest son
was living with relatives in 1870.
It has not been proven that the father of James was Joseph
Graves. There was another James J.
Graves of the right age in Amite Co., MS (probably a son of Zachariah Graves of
genealogy 220), but he was only found in the 1850 and 1860 censuses, and was
probably not this one. (R‑1)
