Rev. 14 Oct. 1999, Gen. 72

Asa W. Graves (1) was born in 1820 in Killingly, CT, died 31 March 1904 in Danielson Borough, Killingly, CT, at the age of 84, and was buried in New Westfield Cem., Killingly. He first married Lucy T. Gould, daughter of George William Gould and Hannah Tufts. She was born 16 Nov. 1822 in Pomfret, CT, and died 2 Jan. 1853 in Danielson Borough, Killingly, CT. Her father George was born 1798, died 1865, and was buried in Old Westfield Cem., all in Killingly, CT.

Asa married second Caroline ------ by 1856. They probably had more than the one child listed below.

The 1790 census of Killingly shows a John Graves and an Isachar Graves. It is thought that Asa might have been a son or grandson of one of these. One of the sons of Isachar was Artemus or Artemas Graves, born 20 July 1789, married Betsey ------, but no information on children. Artemas was no. 329 in the Rear Admiral Thomas Graves book, and it appears likely that Asa was descended from Rear Adm. Thomas Graves also. (R-1)
