Sarah Graves (1) died 10 Feb. 1756 in Saybrook, CT. She married Andrew Warner, son of Andrew Warner and Ruth Clark. He was born 25 Jan. 1703 and died 23 Sept. 1751, both in Saybrook, CT. They were both buried in Old Chester Cem. He was a farmer, and is said to have been a lieutenant in a militia company. His great-grandfather was the immigrant Andrew Warner, almost certainly the same Andrew Warner who was a neighbor of immigrant Deacon George Graves (noted in a following paragraph). The descent of Andrew is Andrew¹, Daniel², Andrew³, Andrew⁴ Warner.

Andrew³ Warner ws born 24 June 1667 in Hadley, MA. He was a large landholder in Hadley, and moved to Saybrook, CT about 1696, where, in partnership with Joseph Selden and John Church, he purchased Twelve Mile Island Farm, situated on both banks of the Connecticut River in the towns of Lyme and Saybrook. A deed of John Leverett of Boston, dated Feb. 1695, conveyed this land to Joseph Selden, who on June 22, 1697, deeded the Saybrook part to Andrew Warner. Part of this land was still owned by the family in 1919. The early dwelling house stood about one quarter mile northeast of where the Middlesex Turnpike crosses the Warner's Ferry Road, or from the present homestead. Andrew³ first married Ruth Clark, who died in 1704 or 1705. He married second Mrs. Hannah Stannard on 4 April 1706.

Seth Warner (R-6) points out that the Warner immigrant followed much the same path as Thomas Graves (the one who settled in Hartford, CT in 1645). (It has not been shown to be true that Thomas Graves ever moved from Cambridge, MA, and he apparently arrived in Hartford much later than Andrew Warner. However, George Graves did arrive in Hartford at the same time as Andrew Warner.) Andrew Warner settled in Cambridge, MA in 1630, followed Hooker to Hartford where he was an original proprietor, then went to Hadley (next to Hatfield), MA with other Hartford settlers following a schism in the church at Hartford.

It is most likely that Sarah was descended from Deacon George Graves who settled in Hartford, CT in 1636. If she was a descendant of George, she was either a granddaughter or greatgranddaughter. The land of George in Hartford in 1636 was very close to that of an Andrew Warner. Charles Deming, born 1714, married Ruth Warner, daughter of Lieut. Andrew Warner and Sarah Graves. Her parents' names are taken from a book called One of the Warner Family. Charles Deming was a son of Jonathan Deming and Abigail Fyler, and Jonathan was a son of Sarah Graves (daughter of Deacon George Graves) and Jonathan Deming.

It is also possible that Sarah Graves was descended from Thomas Graves of Hartford and Hatfield, since not all descendants of Thomas have been traced, some of the descendants of Thomas did move to CT, and Andrew Warner (father of the husband of Sarah Graves) did move from Hadley, MA to Saybrook, CT. It is interesting to note that there was a Benjamin Graves (#55 in the Thomas Graves book by Kenneth V. Graves), born 1689, who married Mary Warner, daughter of Jacob Warner and Elizabeth Goodman. This Benjamin Graves had a sister named Sarah Graves, born 1691, about whom nothing more is known. Although this Sarah Graves was born earlier than would be expected for the wife of Andrew Warner, it is possible that she is the one he married.

There is a slight possibility that Sarah Graves was descended from immigrant John Graves of Concord, MA, since some of his descendants did live in Saybrook, CT, but no likely connection has been found.

The following children may not all be in order of birth. (R-1, R-2, R-101)
