DESCENDANTS
OF JOHN GRAVES OF VA AND DAVIDSON CO., TN
GENERATION
1
John Graves (1) may
have been born about 1760, based on the birth and marriage dates of his
grandchildren. He married ‑‑‑‑‑‑.
John Graves
inventoried the estate of Nathaniel Seat in 1802 in Davidson Co., TN. NathanielÕs land is the same tract that
he purchased in 1797, probably just on the other side of Pennington Bend on the
north side of the Cumberland River in Davidson Co., TN.
In looking for the
ancestry of John Graves, one strong possibility is genealogy 270. In that genealogy, Solomon Graves, born
1723, and wife Sarah Winfield, had children who married Penningtons,
and they also had a son John Graves, born 1762, who married Sarah Parham in
Sussex Co., VA. Nothing is known
of his descendants, and whether he stayed in Virginia or moved to
Tennessee. (R‑2)

CHILDREN OF JOHN GRAVES (1)
Frances Graves (3)
married Graves Pennington on 11 Aug. 1803 in Davidson Co., TN. He was born about 1783 in VA, and died
in 1854 in Davidson Co., TN, at age 71.
It is not presently known whether he is a Graves descendant. After Frances died, he married second
Martha M. Bondurant on 7 June 1820 in Davidson Co., TN, and had 5 more
children: Sarah Ann Magdalene Pennington (1821-1880), Mary Amanda Pennington
(1823-1867), Martha Pennington (1828-1829), Martha A. Pennington (1829-1857),
and Graves Pendleton (1830-1887).

Elizabeth Dodson, 16 Nov. 1831.
Henry Graves (5)
may have been born about 1780-1790, based on his marriage date and the dates of
birth of his children. He was born
in VA, according to the 1880 census for his son David. He married Sarah (ÒSallyÓ) Allen on 2 Oct.
1809 in Davidson Co., TN. The
discrepancy between the marriage date and the birth of son David cannot
presently be explained. (R‑2)

GENERATION 3
CHILDREN OF HENRY GRAVES (5) AND
SARAH ALLEN
David M. Graves (7) was born about
1805 in TN[1],
and died 25 Aug. 1881. He married
Mary Ann Hudson. She was born 8
Sept. 1811 in TN. They were in the
1840 census for Davidson Co., TN.
David was head of household in the 1830 census for Davidson Co., TN,
although he was probably not yet married at that time. Both his parents may have been dead in
1830, since the only person over 30 in the household was a female 70-80. It is possible that she was his mother,
but she could also have been his grandmother.
The 1820 census for Davidson Co.,
TN had two Graves families, Henry Graves and John Graves. Either of them could have been DavidÕs
father, but the members of HenryÕs household make him look more likely. David and Mary were in the 1850 census
for Davidson Co., TN, when he was an inn keeper. They were in the 1860 census for Butler Co., KY, when he was
a farmer, and listed as deaf. They
were in the 1880 census for Morgantown, Butler Co., KY, with their son Lundy
living with them, and both DavidÕs parents were listed as born in VA. All their children were born in TN.

have been this son.
14. Mary T. Graves, b.c. 1841.
15. John Graves, b.c. 1843. John was in the 1850 census but not in
the 1860 census, but there was a Bossin Graves (b.c. 1843) in 1860 who might be
this son.

were in the 1850 census for Trigg Co., KY. He was in the 1860 census for Trigg Co., KY with his 3

They were in the 1850 and 1860 censuses for Trigg Co., KY. He was a farmer. The 1850 census reported that all their

GENERATION 4
CHILDREN OF DAVID M. GRAVES (7)

Melvina ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She was born about 1840 in TN. They were in the 1870 census for
Davidson Co., TN. He was a
farmer. Their first child was born
in KY, and the others in TN. It
appears that his wife married second Edward Hupp
about 1875, since the 1880 census for Davidson Co., TN lists Graves
children Charles, Nannie, Joseph and Selby as
step-children in the household of Edward and Amanda Hupp.
