DESCENDANTS OF JOSEPH
GRAVES AND CAROLINE CARPENTER
OF VA & BULLITT CO., KY
GENERATION 1
Joseph Graves (1) was born about
1808-1810 in VA (or possibly MD), and died 1859-60 in Bullitt Co., KY. He migrated to Bullitt Co. in 1831-39. He married Caroline Carpenter on 2 April
1840 in Bullitt Co. She was born about
1826 in KY[1]. All their children were born in Bullitt Co.,
KY.
The family was in the 1850 census
for Bullitt Co., KY, page 186, dwelling 535, with all family members listed as
born in KY, and Joseph’s occupation listed as carpenter.
Joseph Graves may have been a
brother of Tilman W. Graves (genealogy 582),
based on Joseph’s naming one of his children Tillman (a very unusual name),
geographical proximity, and their both being carpenters. Joseph probably also had a brother named
William L. Graves, who was living with Tilman in 1850, and the name of their
mother was probably Mary A. ‑‑‑‑‑‑ (also in
Tilman’s household in 1850). (R‑1)
