DESCENDANTS
OF THADEUS GRAVES OF NY & OH
GENERATION
1
Thadeus Graves (1)
was born about 1787 in NY. He may
have married more than once. His
wife in 1850 may have been Nancy ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He is in the 1850 and 1860 censuses for
Clay, Scioto Co., OH, with Nancy born about 1815-1821 in PA or Ireland, and it
is not clear whether she was his wife or his daughter, but she was probably his
wife.
This Thadeus Graves
may be the father of Thadeus Graves of genealogy 59, born about 1815, and may
be the one discussed in that genealogy who lived in Ross Co., OH before 1850.

CHILDREN OF THADEUS GRAVES (1)
Alfred Graves (3) was born about 1835
in Richmond City, (Jefferson Co. ?), OH.
He married Elizabeth Wellman, daughter of James Wellman and Nancy
Wilson, on 1 Oct. 1857 in Wayne Co., VA (later WV). She was born 8 Jan. 1839 in Wayne Co., VA (later WV), and
died 5 Dec. 1924 in Lawrence Co., WV.
They apparently moved to Boyd Co., KY (on the border with WV), since
their son was born there.
Elizabeth probably remarried by no later than 1865, so Alfred had
probably died by then.
There was an Elizabeth Wellman, 21
in the 1860 census for Wayne Co., VA, in the household of James Wellman, but no
sign of Anson, although there was an Auston Wellman, 1, male, in the
household. That was probably
Anson, since James Wellman, 58, and his wife Nancy were too old for it to be
their child.
Elizabeth married second Silas F.
Reynolds by 1865. They were listed
in the 1870 and 1880 censuses for Butler, Wayne Co., WV. Anson Graves was living with them in
both years. (R‑1, R‑3)

Co., WV. He married Frances
Workman, daughter of Alfred H. Workman and Hester Ann Bowen, on 5 Aug. 1880 in
Wayne Co., WV. She was born 3
March 1862 in Wayne Co., VA (later WV), and died 20 Nov. 1947 in Louisa,
Lawrence Co., KY. They were in the
1900 and 1910 censuses for Cassville, Butler District, Wayne Co., WV. (This place was known as both Cassville
and Fort Guy until 1932, when the name was changed to Fort Guy.) In 1900, 8 of their 10 children were
still living, and in 1910, 8 of their 11 children were still living. The 1920 census for Butler listed only
Frances Graves, widow, and her son Jay.
Anson was a laborer doing odd jobs in 1910. All their children were born in Fort Gay, Wayne Co., WV
(according to R‑2), but R‑1 says that at least Lutie and Frankie
were born in Louisa, Lawrence Co., KY.
