DESCENDANTS OF THOMAS GRAVES AND DOLLY A. ------ OF GA & LOWNDES CO., AL
GENERATION 1
Thomas Graves (1) was born about 1797 in GA. He married Dolly A. ‑‑‑‑‑‑
(probably Fant). She was born about 1812 in GA. They were in the 1850 census for Lowndes, Lowndes Co., AL,
page 157, and the 1860 census for Northern Div., Lowndes Co., AL, Haynesville
P.O., page 547.
He was also in the 1830 and 1840 censuses for Lowndes Co., AL. He was a farmer. All their children were born in AL.
It is believed by some that he was a son of William Graves and
Sarah Smith, descended from Francis Graves of VA (genealogy 220). Although that seems reasonable, since
William Graves moved from GA to Lowndes Co., AL, and that seems to be the only
other Graves family in the area, Thomas Graves was not mentioned in William’s
will. However, there is no other
Graves male who is a good candidate to be the father of Thomas, so perhaps
Thomas was estranged from his family or not mentioned in the will for some
other reason. Unfortunately, there
are no federal censuses for GA or AL for 1800-1820, so the household of William
Graves can’t be checked to see whether Thomas might have been there.
