Hezekiah Graves (7) was born about
1795 or 1801 in VA. He first
married Jane Moore in 1823. He
married second Susan Moyer in 1849.
She was born about 1826 in VA.
He was in the 1830 census for
Albemarle Co., VA, with 1 male under 5 (William), 1 female under 5 (unknown),
and 1 female 5-9 (maybe Susan). He
was in the 1840 census for St. AnneÕs Parish, Albemarle Co., VA, with 1 male
under 5 (maybe James), 1 male 10-14 (William), 3 females under 5, 2 females
5-9, and 1 female 10-14, but no female of JaneÕs age was listed. He was in the 1850 census for Albemarle

+24. Riley Graves, b.c. 1853, m. ‑‑‑‑‑‑.
25. son, b.c. 1855.
John Graves (9) was born about 1800
or 1803 in VA, and died between 15 Aug. 1860 and 15 Sept. 1870 in Albemarle
Co., VA. He married Martha Haskins
on 5 March 1836 in Albemarle Co., VA.
She was born about 1812 or 1815 in VA, and died after June 1880 in
Albemarle Co., VA. They were in
the 1850 census for Albemarle Co., VA, page 269, house 1636, and the 1860
census for St. AnneÕs Parish, Albemarle Co., VA, page 110, house 838. In the 1880 census for Charlottesville,
Albemarle Co., VA, page 292C, Martha was head of the household, and John had
apparently died. All their
children were born in VA.
Living within a couple of houses in
1860 were James Graves, age 62, probable brother of John, Hezekiah Graves, age
65, probable brother of John, and Elizabeth A. Moran, age 20, probable daughter
of either James Graves or Hezekiah Graves. Nancy Graves and Caroline Graves were also living between
the Morans and Hezekiah Graves, and were probably sisters of John, since the
1880 census listed Nancy as an aunt of HezekiahÕs son John. It is interesting to see that both
Caroline and Nancy apparently never married, and their approximate date of
birth was reported as 1820 and 1823 respectively in 1850, 1825 and 1830 in
1860, and 1814 and 1817 in 1880 (perhaps after they were old enough to no longer
see any advantage in saying they were younger than they really were).
The death records for Albemarle
Co., VA (as included on U.S. Genweb and submitted by R‑2) show (with the
transcribed misspelling of the surname):

another daughter, and not the same as Minerva.

Martha and Jerdenia, living with her.
