He was owner of leasehold property in Waterford in the N.E. part of the city near the Ring Tower, and The Holy Ghost Hospital or St. Francis Abbey, etc. Vol. 38, 394, 24738, vol. 74, 421, 51874, and vol. 24, 235, 13660. (R-1)

Children - Graves

7. John Graves; mentioned as eldest son in will of Alderman Richard Graves. But no mention of a wife or children, though his brother Anthony with wife Elizabeth and child Richard are all mentioned.

+8. Anthony Graves, m. Elizabeth Castele, d.c. 1730/31.

9. Stephen Graves, bapt. 2 June 1700, bur. 10 Feb. 1702/3.

+10. Rebecca Graves, m. William Barker.

11. Charles Graves; mentioned in Ald. Richard Graves' will (according to Rev. James Graves' abstract). Mentioned in Alumni Dublinenses as follows: Graves (Greaves), Charles. Pensioner (Mr. Fell, Waterford), July 9, 1713, aged 17, son of Richard, generous; born Waterford. Sch. 1716. B.A. spring 1715; M.A. summer 1721.

12. Jane Graves, bur. 19 Aug. 1712 (St. Olave's church, Waterford). Dau. of Alderman Richard and Abigail Graves.

+13. William Graves, bapt. 6 Feb. 1702/3.

14. Philip Graves; mentioned in Ald. Richard Graves' will (per Rev. James Graves' abstract). Philip, son of Edward and Abigail Graves of Trinity parish, baptised 26 Sept. 1703. Seems probable Edward is a mistake for Richard in the Register.

John Graves (3) was a carpenter of Waterford (described as such in deeds). He was described as of St. Peter's parish in the Register of St. Patrick's. He was executor of the will of his brother Alderman Richard Graves. A John Graves was Sheriff of Waterford in 1713, 1714, and 1722 (Hansard's History of Waterford).

His will was dated 27 Feb. 1728/9, proved 1733, and is in the index of Diocesan wills which has survived the fire in 1922, but the original will burned. An abstract in the handwriting of Rev. James Graves, who died in 1886, mentions wife Anne and 3 children, Mary, George, and Francis.

John Graves was the leaseholder of 2 houses with back houses and yards with a frontage of 64 feet on Bakehouse Lane, and bounded at the back with the old City Wall.

There is a slight potential for confusion between the identities of John Graves brother and John Graves eldest son of Alderman Richard Graves. However, no reference to the son has been identified as such except the reference to him in Richard's will.

John Graves married Anne Barker. The will, dated 30 June 1759, of Anne Graves, widow, also Barker, was proved in 1763. Admon. is in the P.R.O. list in Dublin, but the will burned in the Four Courts Fire of 1922. An abstract of the will is given in Waterford and S.E. of Ireland Archeological Society Journal, vol. XVII, and mentions daughter Mary Rogers, also Graves. (R-1)

By an assignment dated 1 Nov. 1764 (i.e., after the death of James Bull, his father-in-law), Richard Graves assigns all his half share in the property to Daniel Finney (Deed, vol. 230, 594, 153168).

Deeds in Registry of Deeds, Henrietta St., Dublin, give the following history of a house in Trinity Parish, Waterford, owned by William Graves: The house was bounded on the North by David Baylie's New Street, on the South by the old town wall, on the West by the Deanery and garden, on the East by another house, which in a 1708 deed is described as a new house of Alderman Richard Graves, and in a 1753 deed as the house where Capt.

This house, so bounded, was bought by Alderman Richard Graves by lease and release dated 2 and 4 Feb. 1707/8, from Minard Christian, Esq.

In 1757 William Graves married Anne Shaw, and put the property carrying the leasehold rent of £16 per annum into his marriage settlement. He died in 1784, leaving Richard Graves his heir at law and the latter's eldest son Anthony (vol. 174, 9, 114967).
