DESCENDANTS OF CHARLES C. GRAVES AND HARRIET ------ OF NY AND MUSKINGUM CO., OH
GENERATION 1
Charles C. Graves (1) was born about 1815-1819 in NY. He married Harriet ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born about 1831-1832 in OH. They were in the 1860 census for Dresden, Muskingum Co., OH, page 530, dwelling 499, with Charles C. Graves, 41, farm laborer, Harriet, 27, L. Frank, 7, Arianne, 5, Charles H., 1, and Sarah Green, 48. They were in the 1870 census for Dresden, Muskingum Co., OH, page 181, dwelling 234, with Charles Graves, 54, laborer, Harriett, 39, Franklin, 17, Arria, 15, Charles, 11, Carrolton, 9, Milton, 7, Alfred, 5, and Clarence, 2, all children born in OH. The 1900 census for Zanesville, Muskingum Co., OH, ED 72, dwelling 173, page 9A, showed Harriet Graves, 68, widow, with her son Alfred H., 33, single.
Charles could not be identified in the 1850 census. It is possible he was the Charles Graves in the 1850 census for Annsville, Oneida Co., NY, dwelling 445, page 380, with Charles Graves, 30, laborer, Polly, 31, Sally, 12, Ellin, 10, Peter, 8, George, 5, and Chauncy, 3, all born in NY. None of these family members could be found in the 1860 census. Perhaps they all died or were adopted and changed their last name, and Charles remarried to Harriet; not likely, but a possibility.
DNA analysis of a descendant of this family exactly matches the test results for descendants of genealogy 168 (Thomas Graves of Hartford, CT). In that genealogy, there was a Charles Graves, born 1815 in MA, who married Sarah Cleveland and was supposedly living in Annsville, NY about 1850. However, the Charles Graves who married Sarah was in the 1850 census in Rome, Oneida Co., NY, and in the 1860 census in Lee, Oneida Co., NY, so that was obviously a different person.
