JOHN GRAVES
1635 Settler of Concord, MA
and His Descendants
GENERATION
1
John Graves (1) was born in England
about 1605. It is claimed that he
was christened in the Parish of Beeley in Derbyshire, and that he died in 1704
in CT; however, the evidence for both these claims is unknown or nonexistent
and therefore the claims (especially for the place of christening) are suspect.
John Graves came to America with
his wife in 1635 and settled in Concord, MA. He belonged to the church where Rev. Peter Bulkeley (sometimes
spelled Bulkley) was a teacher. He
was one of the signers of the petition to the General Court of Massachusetts in
1643 in favor of Ambrose Martin, and in 1644 his name was attached to a
document pledging its signers, which included nearly every head of a family in
Concord, to the support of the government.
It has also been said that he was
master of the "TryallÓ, the first ship built in America, in 1648; however,
that is not correct. It was Thomas
Graves of Charlestown, MA, later Rear Admiral, who was master of the Tryall.
It has been stated by one source (R‑20)
that John GravesÕ wife was named Joan.
R‑62 gives her name as Joan/Ann Bird, and that her father was
George Bird. It is also said that
he moved to Connecticut where he died in 1704.
It was stated by genealogist John
Card Graves, a descendant of John Graves of Concord, that John Graves was a
brother of Deacon George Graves of Hartford, CT. This was based, at least in part, on his misinterpretation
of a letter sent in 1675 from Anna Graves of London, and discussed in the
genealogy for Deacon George Graves.
DNA testing of descendants of both John Graves of Concord, MA, and
George Graves of Hartford, CT, has shown that they definitely do not share a
common Graves ancestor.
It is possible that John Graves was
from Kent, England, since many of the early settlers of Concord were. However, according to Concord, Climate for Freedom, by Ruth B.
Wheeler, the places in England from which they came were widely scattered. Hartwell, Bulkeley, and Wheeler were
from Bedfordshire; Willard, Stow and Hosmer from Kent; Flint and Wood from
Derbyshire; Hunt and Heaward from Yorkshire; and Heald from
Northumberland. William Butrick
came from Surrey; Edward Wright from Stafford; and Thomas Brown from Lavenham,
Sussex.
Concord was the first town carved
out of the wilderness. Every other
town in America had been close to the ocean or a tidal river, where goods could
be transported by boat and natural features would mark the bounds with a
minimum of exploration.
There was a constant shift in the
population of Concord as newly-arrived immigrants came, stayed a while, then
went to Connecticut or returned to the coastal towns, where those with a trade
but no knowledge of farming could hope to make a living. Almost every deed to land in Concord
listed the buyer as yeoman, except for the few gentlemen, whereas in coastal
towns like Charlestown the identifying word would be that of a trade: glover, tanner, brickmaker, mason, etc.
In 1644 there was a split in the
church at Concord. John Jones (the
other minister in addition to Peter Bulkeley) took his family and 15 Concord
men to Fairfield, CT, on Long Island Sound.
The early records of Concord
(including land transactions) were largely lost. The town voted in 1664 to order a new leather-bound book and
that Ò... what is useful in the old book be transcribed in the new.Ó Unfortunately, only a few items were
considered worthy.
In addition to the children listed
below, one source (R‑20) stated that there was a son Abraham who married
Ann Hayward. (R‑62, R‑82,
R‑500, R‑503)

CHILDREN
OF JOHN GRAVES (1)
Benjamin Graves (2) was born 3
March 1645 in Concord, MA, and died before 23 March 1724 (d. 18 March 1715, in
Concord, according to R‑39).
He married Mary Hoar, daughter of John Hoar and Alice ‑‑‑‑‑‑
(possibly Lisle) of Concord, on 21 Oct. 1668 (Concord Register, Book Y; see
Appendix for her Hoar ancestry).
He was in the Colonial Wars as a member of Captain Thomas Wheeler's
Company and fought against the Indians in July and August 1675. It is also noted that he was a soldier
in King PhilipÕs War in Captain WheelerÕs Company and was in fights at
Wicnaboag Pond and Brookfield, on 16 Aug. 1675. He served in Groton in Feb. 1675-1676, and his name appears
again on the payroll 24 Aug. 1676.
He and his brother John Graves of
Sudbury, MA, with others, purchased on 20 May 1681 from Christopher Hall
"all the mines and minerals of one kind or another found or to be found or
that may be found on his land in Groton, MA at a place called Cold Spring near
William Longby's house, with liberty to dig, delve or use the land and to erect
buildings etc." Benjamin
Graves did not move to Groton but continued to live at Concord until after
1681, and all his children except the last one were born at Concord (according
to Concord Register, Book 1).
Benjamin was apparently still
living in Concord in 1684, since on a list of the second order of proprietors
(in 1745) is included ÒDavid Comee, then living where Benjamin Graves lived in
the year 1684.Ó
He moved to Saybrook, CT and lived
at Pattaconke (northern part of Saybrook), where he bought land 25 Jan.
1703. He deeded half of his farm
to his son Joseph on 18 March 1715, and certain lands to his son John of Killingworth,
CT on 14 Sept. 1716.
The following records were found
regarding Benjamin:
November
4, 1716, Benjamin Graves, yeoman, for love and good will to loving son John, now resident
of Killingworth, amessuage or tenement at Pottaconk,
with all the buildings, etc., bounded westerly by land of Joseph Graves,
it being understood that Benjamin is to retain the life use of the same. (John sold the property in 1724.)
March
18, 1715, Benjamin Graves for love and affection to son Joseph deeded one-half
the farm where I now dwell the westerly half (R-9).
Old Saybrook was divided into three
parts. The northern part was
called Pattaconke (also spelled Pataconke and Pattaquonck). "The committee for highway improvements
were to lay out a good and sufficient highway to the 'Great River' at the
northward side of ye land formerly owned by Benjamin Graves in
Pattaconke", action taken at Saybrook, 5 Jan. 1724/5.
Old Saybrook is on the south shore
of Connecticut, on Long Island Sound, at the mouth of the Connecticut
River. Pattaconke was about 7
miles north of the mouth of the Connecticut River when a part of Saybrook. It is now the town of Chester, CT.
Killingworth is about 5 miles west
of Chester, and was originally a part of Clinton, CT until 1836. Clinton is on the south shore of
Connecticut about 5 miles south of Killingworth, CT. The land in this area is hilly and rolling, with
forests. The births of all the
children except John were recorded in Concord Register, Book 1. (R‑1, R‑20, R‑39, R‑62,
R‑82, R‑500)

Benjamin Graves (8) was born 2
March 1676/7 in Concord, MA, and died 30 Dec. 1752 in Colchester, New London,
CT, leaving a will. He went with
his father who settled in Saybrook, CT about 1681-1683 (or about 1700?). He was described as a resident of New
London, CT in a deed to him of lands he purchased in Colchester, CT in
1709. He was admitted inhabitant
of Colchester at a town meeting on 8 Jan. 1716. He was chosen lister at town meeting on 11 Dec. 1727.
He married Ruth Stirling (or Mary
Sterling), daughter of William Stirling and Mary Blaisdell, in 1698. Ruth was born 17 Dec. 1679, and died in
1710 (see Stirling Genealogy). He married second Mary Haynes. She was born about 1690 in Colchester,
CT, and died 24 Nov. 1780. They
lived two and a half miles from Colchester on the road to Lyme, CT. They owned the Covenant at Lyme, CT.
The children by Benjamin's second
marriage who were baptized 1741-1749 were apparently baptized as adults, since
marriage dates were soon after baptismal dates.
The following will of Benjamin
Graves was probated 5 May 1753:
ÒIn the name of God Amen. This 11th day of December A.D. 1752 and

Joseph Graves (9) was born 1 Sept.
1679 in Concord, MA, and died after 2 April 1756. He married Sarah ‑‑‑‑‑‑. She died 16 March 1751. Joseph went with his father to
Saybrook, CT about 1700 and bought and sold land there as late as 1735. He next appeared as a resident of New
Cambridge, a part of Farmington, CT, in 1743. He owned land there and in a part of Waterbury, CT that
later became Plymouth. He was
described as "dish-turner" (presumably he was a potter). Abraham Waterous bought land of Joseph
Graves at Pattaconke.
According to History of Middlesex Co., Conn., 1635-1885: "The highway from the head of the
cove, running north past the town house was probably the first road laid out in
Pattaconke.
The Wig Hill Road running from the
town house over the hill past Cedar Swamp Pond and northerly by the pond was
laid out in 1735, 1736, and 1737 by Samuel Jones, Abraham Waterhouse, Samuel
Willard, John Graves, John Whittlesey, and Samuel Lord." In 1953 it was Liberty St. and Wig Hill
Road. In 1976 it was Main St.,
High St., and Ridge Rd. (R‑1,

Jedediah Graves (49) was born about
1708 in Colchester, New London Co., CT, and died 10 Nov. 1800, aged 92 years,
in Sherman, Fairfield Co., CT, leaving a will. He was christened 15 May 1709 in the First Church of Christ,
New London, CT. He married Jerusha
Ackley, daughter of Samuel Ackley of East Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT, in 1728.
She was born 29 March 1707 and died in Aug. 1736. He married second Elizabeth Allen, daughter of Samuel Allen
and Lydia Hastings, in June 1737.
She was born about 1712 (or 1716) and died 13 March 1752. After her death, he married third Ruth
Bennett, daughter of Lieutenant Henry Bennett, on 27 Dec. 1758. She was born 20 Jan. 1738 or 1739 in
Lyme, New London Co., CT, and died 26 Oct. 1823 at age eighty six.
Jedediah lived in East Haddam as
early as 1723 when he bought ten acres of land from Thomas Crippen and bought
and sold land there at least up until 1752, when he moved to New Fairfield (now
Sherman), CT, where he lived until his death.
The History of Warren County[6] describes
Queensbury, NY, and how the land was given by King George III by land
patents. Jedediah was among twenty
three petitioners receiving land patents on 29 May 1762. It states that the men who applied for
the patents were Òmen of influence,Ó and Òlent their names to secure the grant
for the benefit of the actual settlers.Ó
The area was named Queensbury to honor the KingÕs new wife. Jedediah was one of the first land
holders in that town. He did not
settle on the land himself, but was the owner of the land, about 1,000
acres. Allen GravesÕ (#133) name is
on the Warren Co. records as selling the land some years later.
He was a stalwart and prosperous
man, much respected by all who knew him.
His will, which follows, specified the distribution of his property, and
was admitted to probate in Dec. 1800.
ÒIn the Name of God Amen.
I Jedediah Graves of New Fairfield
in the County of Fairfield and Colony of Connecticut being of a sound mind and

containing twenty eight acres, also one third of my personal estate, also the

OF JOSEPH GRAVES (9) AND SARAH ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Benjamin Graves (59) was born about
1720 in Saybrook, Middlesex Co., CT.
He went with his father to New Cambridge (a part of Farmington), CT
about 1743. His father and brother
Joshua deeded to him certain lands in New Cambridge on 19 May 1749, which he
held and paid taxes on in 1750 and 1751, and sold to Joseph Hodgkins and Joseph
Gaylord in the fall of 1751.
He was living in Salisbury, CT in
1788, where his daughter Rebecca died.
She was buried in the same lot as child George Marsh. Certain properties were deeded to him
on 27 May 1789, which he conveyed the same day for same consideration to George
Marsh individually. For these
reasons, it is supposed that he married into the Marsh family, probably
marrying Katherine Marsh, but that has not been definitely ascertained. (R‑104, R‑500)

Joshua Graves (60) was born in 1723
in Saybrook, Middlesex Co., CT, and died 23 Aug. 1803 at Salisbury, Addison
Co., VT in his 80th year. He married Rhoda Bronson, daughter of Lieutenant John
Bronson and Comfort Baldwin, on 5 April 1750. She was born 30 March 1729 and died 16 Sept. 1807. He moved with his father from Saybrook
to New Cambridge (a part of Farmington, CT) about 1743. He bought and sold property in New
Cambridge and vicinity and was taxed in that town from 1748 to 1761. In 1764 he describes himself as of
Sharon, CT.
He moved to Vermont and first
settled in Arlington, but went with his son Jesse to Salisbury and
"pitched" a hundred acre farm where his descendant Columbus Smith
(#1686) subsequently lived in the spring of 1774. They built a log house and cleared and planted a few acres
of land, the first clearing for agricultural purposes in Salisbury. He brought his family to Salisbury in
1775, but his house was burned by the Indians in the spring of 1776. He built another that same year and his
family returned to it in the spring of 1777.
He and one of his sons were
captured by Indians in June 1777 and taken to Montreal but were released to the
British as they were engaged in peaceful pursuits when captured. The family then retired to Rutland, VT,
remained there until the close of the Rev. War, and returned to their home in
Salisbury in 1783. That year he
built the first framed barn in Salisbury.
He was exempted from military and jury duty because of his
deafness. Four of his sons, Jesse,
Simeon, Chauncey, and Asa, are all listed on the rolls of those serving in the
militia in defense of the frontier area north of Rutland, and the first three
received pensions in their old age.
History of Salisbury, Vermont, by
John M. Weeks, pub. in 1860, gives the following account of their capture:
ÒAfter the commencement of the
revolutionary war, Joshua Graves moved back as far as Rutland, but remained
there but a short time before he and his boys returned to their farm in
Salisbury again, (this was in the summer of 1776), and built another house in
the place of the one destroyed by the Indians, harvested their wheat which had
been sown the year before, prepared their land and sowed another crop, and in
September, returned again to their family in Rutland.
Mr. Graves, not regarding this
hazardous experiment of settling a new country in time of war, moved his family
again to his farm, early in the spring of 1777, with the intention of making a
permanent settlement. He planted
corn on the interval land near Otter creek, and while hoeing it one day,
sometime in the month of June of that year (we have the story from the mouth of
Jesse Graves), he and his boys suddenly discovered a large party of Indians
coming upon them from the north.
It would have been an easy matter to conceal themselves, if they had had
a minute's notice of the approach of the enemy, but being occupied with their
work, and their sight being intercepted by the woods on the north, before they
were aware of it, the Indians were close upon them, some approaching by land,
but the greater number by bark canoes in the creek. There was a boy at work with them, about fourteen years old,
who started to run, but Mr. Graves ordered him to stop, as the savages would be
more apt to shoot him while endeavoring to make his escape.
The Indians soon came up and
ordered them all, Joshua Graves, Jesse Graves and the boy, to give up their
work and go along with them. So
they all went on together up the creek, and stopped over night on the farm now
called the Kelsey place. Here the
Indians found a pair of oxen, and butchered one of them to provide their
evening and morning meal. From
this place they passed up the creek and made a halt at the house of Jeremiah
Parker, who then lived on the farm now (in 1860) owned by Ebenezer Jenny. On looking over Mr. ParkerÕs house, the
Indians found a quantity of maple sugar, about two hundred pounds, which they
took out of doors, and, having assembled around it, held what they called a
Òpow-wow.Ó
The party being large, numbering
about two hundred and fifty, the sugar was nearly exhausted in eating and
wasting, before the journey was resumed.
Nothing was taken from Mr. Parker except the sugar, and his house was
left without having suffered any damageÉ
Having regaled themselves at Mr.
ParkerÕs expense, the Indians made a captive of him, and all set out for the
south, no one of the captives knowing for what they were taken, or where they
were going. They soon arrived at
Neshobe, (Brandon), where they were placed under the care of an Indian guard,
and conducted to Lake Champlain, near Ticonderoga, where they, together with a
part of the guard, were placed on board a British vessel and taken to Montreal.
Here the Indians demanded of the
chief officer of the British forces at that place, the bounty for Òrebel
heads;Ó but the officers, after examining the case, found that these men had
been taken by the Indians while in the quiet and peaceable prosecution of their
labors as farmers, and decided that the prisoners ought to be allowed to return
to their homes. This decision
caused a good deal of murmuring on the part of the Indians, who thought they
ought at least be permitted to take the scalps of their captives as reward for
their trouble.
The prisoners, being released, were
allowed to find their way back to their families the best way they could, which
they did after a long and tedious journey, having been absent about three
weeks.
These Indians treated their
prisoners well while they had charge of them, imposing no burdensom tasks upon
them, and allowing them the same rations as themselves, which consisted of one
tablespoonful, daily, of pounded parched corn.
This was all the food the prisoners
or the Indians had, with the exception of what they so unceremoniously took
just as they started, until they were placed on board the vessel, when the
officers in the British command gave them a more generous diet.
So far as these men traveled with
this party of Indians, they could discover no indication that this excursion
was made for the sake of booty or mischief; the Indians burnt no houses, nor
did they maliciously destroy any property nor steal or pillage anything, except
what they wanted to eat.
After learning the character and
disposition of the red men of Vermont, the Messrs. Graves concluded that
settling a new country in time of war was too hazardous an undertaking for
them, and determined, as soon as practicable, to leave the country until the
war was over.
They returned to Rutland early in
September of that year, having first made a ÒcacheÓ in the ground, in which
they deposited their pewter ware, which consisted of platters, plates, basins,
spoons, and a variety of other domestic utensils, of which they had a good
supply, and also a few farming tools.
But on their return in 1783, after
the war, the place of their improvements had become so changed, it being
overgrown with brush and briers, that they were unable to find any of their
things thus deposited, nor could any of the family determine exactly where the
ÒcacheÓ was made. It is not
improbable that it was discovered and robbed, and the place afterwards
gradually filled up and overgrown with brushwood.Ó
There may have also been a
daughter, Amelia Graves, born about 1770.
Amelia Noyes, a sister of Jesse Graves, gave a deposition regarding his
Revolutionary War service. (R‑48,

saw mill and corn mill. AbnerÕs
war record shows him to be an old man in the Revolutionary War, and serving in
short leaves only. In 1780, he
served under Commander Herman Switt, Colonel. He enlisted 10 July 1780 and was discharged 19 Dec. 1780. AbnerÕs grandson, whose residence was

Graves (71) was born 17 July 1729 in Saybrook, Middlesex Co., CT, died 4 Feb.

or Saybrook.[13] He married
Lydia (Hull) Griswold, daughter of Captain Josiah Hull and Elizabeth Redfield
of Killingworth, and widow of Daniel Griswold, on 12 March 1759 in
Killingworth. She was born 29 Oct.
1732 in Killingworth, CT and died there 23 June 1797. She had first married Daniel Griswold on 26 April 1751 in
Killingworth. They had two
children, Josiah Griswold, born 17 June 1752, and Sybil Griswold, born 27 April
1753, in Killingworth. Daniel died
in 1753, and these two children took the name Graves after Lydia remarried.
He was captain of the 12th Co., 7th

marched to New York to assist in holding it against the British, who had
evacuated Boston in March 1776, until the arrival of General Washington with
the Continental Army from Boston.
Sylvanus was commissioned lieutenant colonel of the 7th Regiment of
Connecticut Militia in May 1777 and resigned in Oct. 1779. (R‑13, R‑27, R‑500)

Mary Graves (123) was born in 1727
and died 10 June 1772, both in East Haddam, Middlesex Co., CT. She married Nathaniel Cone, son of
Nathaniel Cone and Sarah Hungerford, on 5 Dec. 1745. He was born 19 Jan. 1712 and died of cancer 15 April 1790,
both in East Haddam, CT. They were
members of the Congregational Church for over 50 years, and for many years he
was a deacon of the church.
ÒIn 1755, he was appointed Ensign
of the first company of the military Òtrain bandÓ of East Haddam. A few years before his death he sent a
petition to the Connecticut Legislature relating to the services of his sons in
the Revolutionary War. The
original document from which this is copied was [in 1903] in the possession of
Mr. R. R. Cone of Millington, town of East Haddam, CT. The petition, without the preamble, is
as follows:
To the Legislature of the State of
Connecticut:
GENTLEMEN: In the
commencement of the late War with Britain I had a number of sons just arrived
to fit age to serve their country, and they were not backward to engage in its
cause; two of them went in the first alarm made by the Lexington battle, and
served the following summerÕs campaign, and so on, as soldiers were called, for
they always engaged. So that some
of them was in the service continually, and indeed one of them was in the whole
war from the alarm at Lexington till he was dismissed after the preliminaries
for peace were signed. Another
went twice three years; others twelve months, eight months, four months,
&c. So that my sons have done
little more than seventeen years under enlistments; adding to this the Militia
tours they will make up about twenty yearsÕ service, for I had six sons that
have done service in the countryÕs cause.
In the next place, in relation to wages: The soldiers had wages promised them as an encouragement for
them to enlist; right, too, for who goeth a warfare at any time at his own
charges? saith the Scriptures.
Forty shillings a month, which was said to be good wages, and I dou say
that there were not many will say that it was too much, unless it should be
some who never served as soldiers, and were they to try a campaign or two I
believe they would be convinced.
But what was promised would have been good wages had it been received as
expected. In respect to what they
did receive for wages in the intrinsic value would hardly average thro the
whole war at ten shillings a month, and I do appeal to any one that are
acquainted with the matter for the truth of this.
Twenty yearsÕ service at forty shillings per month isÉ..£480
One quarter of this, which they did obtain, only
£120
Difference which was promised and not paid
£360
So that in this article of wages my family has been cut short £360
lawful money. A pretty interest is
here curtailed at once. While my
sons were in service and sick so as to render them unfit for duty they have
several times returned out of camp to seek an asylum at home; so I have been at
considerable charge in this respect; not that I was not willing to see them
when sick and do for them, but of right they ought to have been on the publick
expense, and I only mention this to show what I have done for the publick in
order to take a fair view of matters presented. Now it may be remembered that after a few years of the war
it grew very difficult to procure soldiers, but soldiers must be had by some
means or other and the method for this was to class the people and for each
class to furnish a soldier at all events, be the sum what it may; and the
people began to have an eversion to the service, or rather an eversion to the
pay they expected to receive, so that it must be a great sum to make one
willing to enlist. In this way I
have been obliged to pay no inconsiderable sum of money. It is true that war was long and must
of necessity be attended with no small expense, but has not Independence cost
us dear, and we entertained with the bare empty shell of liberty? The old maxim says, ÒIt is cruel to
ride a free horse to death.Ó Where
is wisdom? Where is equity and justice which ought to reside among a people,
but at this day seems hardly to be found, and if equity is not strictly
attended to amongst a people there will be many complaints, and upon just
grounds, too.
Now after all this service done my interest has been wrenched away
from me by warrants and sold at the publick post considerably short of the true
value for the publick taxes, and I am now left without any hoof of an ox to
help myself with or even to draw my wood, for this long and cold winter, I have
drawn wood on a hand sled altho in the seventy-fifth year of my age. Now where is equity? Must some be burdened till they expire
under the load, while others are making (I believe) ample fortunes out of the
publick? Who of any spirit can
bear this and not complain, and have I not just grounds; or, do you think,
gentlemen, that the common people are made to be like so many asses only to
bear burdens!
I believe that much of the expense of this war could have been
saved, but the great inequality is what I complain of; only let there be a
proportion through the state and merit suitably considered and then I would be
willing to take my lot with my neighbors and struggle along as well as I could.
I submit the whole to your consideration, Gentlemen, and if I am
wrong and have no cause to complain, I hope I may be led to see my error.
Nathaniel
Cone
East Haddam, March, 1787
He died of cancer in East Haddam
April 15, 1790 and it is believed that the Legislature took no action on this
petition, as no mention of such action has been found.Ó (R‑505)

about 1757. They are later shown
to be living in Hartland, CT in 1764.
Simeon was first on the list of charter members of the church in East
Hartland, CT and his brother-in-law Sterling Graves became their first
minister. Simeon held several
civic posts including selectman and school committee member. Simeon and Lydia were buried in the

of Lyme, CT. She was born about
1733 in Colchester, CT. (See notes written on p. 28 of Ransom Genealogy. Her
parentage is proven by the administration of Joseph's estate by his widow
Jane.)

1775, and served 13 days at that time.
He was with the Army at Roxbury, MA on 25 March 1776. He wrote to his wife:
ÒRoxbury, March ye 21 A. D. 1776.
Loving wife:
After my kind regards to you and
our children, I take this opportunity to let you know that through the goodness
of Divine Providence I am well and as I hope these few lines will find you and
all our friends.
Remember my kind regards to mother
Graves and all our friends. I
would have you remember although we are at a great distance apart God is able
to preserve us and our children and return me again in safety. I would have you remember that we must
commit ourselves into the hands of God to do as He sees fit.
It is a time of health in
camp. Our enemy left Boston the 11th
of March and our men took possession immediately. The ninth day of March there was killed at Dorchester Point
four men; there was continued a smart firing. I was there at the same time. There is talk of our moving, where I know not. No more at present but I remain, your
loving husband,
Roswell
GravesÓ
He then moved to New York with the
Army, where he was a sergeant in Captain Jewett's Company, Colonel Huntington's
17th Regt., Connecticut Continentals, and took part in the battle of Long
Island 27 Aug. 1776. He was
officially reported as missing after that battle. He was taken prisoner and was confined in the "Old
Sugar House Prison" where the City Hall building now stands in New York
City, and died there of starvation.
Tradition has it he was found with a piece of brick in his mouth. (R‑76, R‑500)

U.S. pensioner on rolls at Bennington, VT. In Massachusetts
Soldiers and Sailors, the following description of AllenÕs service is

Ezra Graves (141) was born 13 June
1760 in Sherman, Fairfield Co., CT, and died 6 July 1834. He married Joanna Northrup on 7 Nov.
1779. She died 2 Dec. 1832, aged 68
years. He was in the Rev. War and
present at the surrender of Burgoyne.
He represented New Fairfield Co. in the Conn. General Assembly for
several sessions. The Sentinel Houses, Sherman, CT, gives
the following account of EzraÕs house:
ÒEzra Graves built this house in
1806 and the land may well have been in the Graves family for more than 100
years. In a deed in which Ezra
conveyed the property to his son Jedediah in 1810, he notes that his father,
also Jedediah, gave him the property in 1783. Thus, the property was in the hands of a member of the
Graves family from 1783 until JedediahÕs death in 1872, when George Graves,
executor for JedediahÕs estate, sold the property to Frank Hungerford.
This publication also gives the
following description, possibly of the same house, called the Jedediah Graves
House:
The Frederick Waller home, standing
at the fork of Anderson Road and Route 39 North, has at least three claims to
distinction: It was the builder
and owner of this house, Jedediah Graves, who suggested naming the town Sherman
in honor of its distinguished citizen, Roger Sherman. That happened when this community was split off from New
Fairfield in the early 1800's. The
place is also marked by having had 18 owners in its approximate 137 years of
existence. If this is not a record
for transfer of property in Sherman, it is close to it. Finally, the house is architecturally
distinguished by a fine Palladian window above the front door.
The house was built some time
between 1810 and 1837 by Jedediah Graves.
Prior to that time the Graves family lived in another house hard by and
long since disappeared. Thus,
ownership of the property by a Graves goes back to 1783 and possibly further.
The property remained in GravesÕ
hands until 1862, passing from father to son. Listen to this:
from Jedediah Graves to his son Ezra Graves; from Ezra Graves to his son
Jedediah Graves; from Jedediah Graves to his son Jedediah J. Graves; from
Jedediah J. Graves to David Graves.
If this is not evidence of a strong family affection for the land, it
certainly speaks for a love of the name Jedediah.Ó (R‑7, R‑80, R‑500)

OF JONATHAN GRAVES (50) AND MARY TISDALE
Jonathan Graves (143) was born
about 1743 in (Lebanon?) CT, and died about 1826 or late 1829 in Vienna, Oneida
Co., NY. He married Bettie Lisk,
daughter of Andrew Lisk and Elizabeth Bradford and the great-great-granddaughter
of Gov. William Bradford of the Mayflower, about 1771 in Lebanon, New London
Co., CT. She was born 26 (or 22)
Nov. 1746 in Lebanon, and died about 1826 (or about 1829) in Vienna, NY. Jonathan lived in Shelburne, MA and was
a Rev. Soldier in the Berkshire Co. [MA] Regiment in 1779. He was a U.S. pensioner on the roll for
Camden, Oneida Co., NY. He moved
from Camden to Vienna, NY. about 1792 (or probably after 1800).
Jonathan was mustered out of Capt.
Joseph BaldwinÕs Co., Col. ElyÕs Regiment of the Connecticut Line, at Preston,
CT in March 1778, as a private.
His pension papers no longer exist. He was elected overseer of the road to WhiteÕs Town at the
first town meeting in the Town of Trenton, NY, held in the village of Olden
Barnweld (now Trenton) on 4 April 1797, at the home of Thomas Hicks. The 1800 census puts him in Camden. He probably moved to Vienna in 1800
with his son (or brother), Elijah.
He built the first frame house in Vienna on a farm owned by Mr. Gibbons,
one half mile below McConnellsville.

OF JOSHUA GRAVES (60) AND RHODA BRONSON
Simeon Graves (200) was born 20
Sept. 1752 in New Cambridge (now Bristol, Hartford Co., CT) or Waterbury, New
Haven Co., CT, and died after 1840.
He married Mary Jennings[25]. She was born
about 1765. He was a soldier in
the Rev. War. He enlisted at
Waterbury, CT on 4 March 1777 in Capt. David Smith's Co., Colonel John
Chandler's Regiment. He was of
Litchfield, CT 29 Dec. 1788, and of Rupert, Bennington Co., VT in 1790 when the
first U.S. census was taken. At
that time he had 5 sons under 16 years of age and probably 2 daughters. Simeon and his wife were in the 1800
census for Essex, Chittenden Co., VT, living near Chauncey and Bennett Graves,
with no children listed. This
change in number of children from the 1790 census could indicate that he had
remarried and his children by his first wife were living elsewhere or had died,
or that the children in the 1790 census werenÕt his. He was in the 1810 census for Underhill, Chittenden Co., VT,
with 3 sons under 10, 1 daughter under 10, and 1 daughter 10-15. In 1818 he was living in Constable,
Franklin Co., NY and was on the U.S. pension roll. He and Mary were in the 1820 census for Constable, Franklin
Co., NY, with 1 male 10-16, 1 male 16-18, 1 female 10-16. He and Mary were in the 1830 census for
Malone, Franklin Co., NY, with 2 males 20-30, and 1 female 20-30, living near
his son Truman Graves. He and Mary
were in the 1840 census for Malone, Franklin Co., NY, with no children in their
household, identified as an 87-year-old veteran, living near Norman Graves
(possibly another son listed in the 1830 census but not in the pension
application) and Truman Graves.

buried in Manchester, Bennington Co., VT.
He married Ruth Remington of Cummington, Hampshire Co., MA, on 16 Feb.

probably in Cummington, MA, and died 29 April 1839 in her 82nd year. He was in the Rev. War (see vol. 19, p.
112, D.A.R. Lineage Book). Jesse
built the first cider mill in Salisbury in 1803.
The following is from a copy of a
handwritten deposition to court by Chauncey Graves (#204), filed in National
Archives Pension File S.21231 for Jesse Graves of VT:
Deposition to obtain a pension for
Ruth, widow of Jesse Graves.
ÒI, Chauncey Graves, of Underhill in
the county of Chittenden & State of Vermont, being duly sworn depose and
say that my father, Joshua Graves, in the first year of the Revolutionary War,
1775, then living in New Lebanon, in the state of New York, came to the town of
Salisbury in the county of Addison, Vermont and began to clear a farm, which he
had purchased and in the spring following, his family moved in to the town of
Salisbury aforesaid. I was then
with the family and was sixteen years old. In the month of June of that year, 1776, we were ordered by
the government to remove from that place on account of the exposure of the
settlers to the invasions of the Indians.
Our family removed, at that time to Shaftsbury in Bennington County. In the fall of the same year, my
brother, Jesse Graves, being then I think, twenty two year old, returned to
Salisbury to take care of the crops & other property left in Salisbury;
here he was taken sick & continued sick until the following spring, 1777 -
and about the time of his recovery was taken by the Indians & carried away
and detained several weeks in captivity, with my father, who was taken with
him. The year following & the
next year after the capture of Burgoyne my brother, the said Jesse Graves,
enlisted into the service at Arlington in the County of Bennington, and went to
Castleton as I understood, and the troops were there employed in erecting a
fort at that place. He entered the
service and served as a Sergeant.
Having a horse of his own he was [next two words illegible]Émuch of the
time as an [illegible], and on scouts under his command. He continued there in the service from
early in the spring until late in the fall, but I do not know for what time he
enlisted nor exactly how long he served.
Not being myself in the service I have no knowledge of the above facts
except from information at the time - and from the fact that my brother was
absent during the above period. In
the spring following 1779, he enlisted again and went to Rutland where a fort
was built that season; - in April of that year, I also went into the service,
& was in the service at Rutland during the summer until the month of
December. I there saw my said
brother Jesse Graves in the service and was frequently on scouts with him, and
once in the last part of October went with him and others under the command of
So [?] Blanchard [?] to New Haven & Weybridge to bring off the women &
children who had been left there by the Indians after they had burnt out all
the houses & taken the men prisoners.
In this above mentioned service, the said Jesse Graves served as
Sergeant, and except as above mentioned, commanded the scouting parties. He being chiefly employed in scout,
& I in the fort, I am not able to recollect how long he served but suppose
he served through the summer. - The said Jesse Graves went into the service
also in the spring following 1780, and served at Pittsford, in the frontier, in
the neighborhood of Rutland & Castleton. In the course of the summer of that year, I was ordered out
with the militia on an alarm and went to the fort at Pittsford and served there
three months. There I saw the said
Jesse Graves in the service, and I am confident he served there during the
whole season from early in the spring until late in the fall. The whole of the above mentioned service
he performed as a Sergeant. After
he was driven from his farm in Salisbury he was not able to find any other
employment; and was, according to my present recollection, in the service, on
the frontier in Vermont, almost the whole of the three years above
mentionedÉÓ (Note: rest of transcript had to do merely
with service dates, etc.) (R‑48,

list all the following children by the first marriage except Lucy. John Card Graves (R‑500) listed
Lucy, but did not list Susan, Simeon, Asinetta, or Olive. (It is likely that the R‑500
information was from family sources, so it is possible that at least some of
those he did not list died young).
Chauncey served in the
Revolutionary War under Captain AllenÕs Company Vermont Militia. Private Graves is on the payroll of
Captain Samuel AllenÕs Company of volunteers. Raised by the order of Brigadier General Allen, the company
commenced 13 Oct. 1780, and ended 4 Nov. 1780, with twenty three days of
service. Chauncey received a

CHILDREN
OF ABNER GRAVES (65)
Asahel Graves (223) was born 23
Aug. 1746 in Farmington, Hartford Co., CT (Farmington Vital Records, vol. LR7,
p. 71), and probably died between 1830 and 1840. He married Sarah (or Sara) ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He was in the 1810 census for
Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY, living next to his son, Remington Graves, and
his household included a male age 10-15, a female 10-15, a female 16-25, and a
female 45 or older (his wife). The
1820 and 1830 censuses for Choconut, Susquehanna Co., PA, showed a male in the
household of Asahel Graves who could have been this Asahel; however, the
household could have been headed by Asahel, born about 1798, and the older male
might have been Remington Graves.
Because Asahel (born 1746)
apparently lived with Asahel (born about 1798), and the older Asahel had a male
of the right age in his household in 1810, Asahel (born about 1978) is being
shown as a son of the older Asahel.
It could be argued that a spread of about 28 years is a long time
between the oldest and the youngest child, but it is certainly not impossible,
and it is also possible that Asahel married a second time. Documentation such as wills, deeds,
land sales, etc., could help to shed more light on the details of this
family. (R‑500)

or Walpole, Cheshire Co., NH), aged 65 years. He married Nancy Hannah[33]. He married
second Mary Dwinnel of Keene, NH on 18 Dec. 1810. She was born about 1753 in Keene, Cheshire Co., NH. He enlisted in Captain Matthew Smith's
Co., General Waterbury's Brigade from Litchfield Co., CT on 3 May 1781, and in
Captain Waugh's Co. of the 17th Conn. Militia in 1779. He was living in Walpole, NH when the

1750 in Farmington, Hartford Co., CT (or 23 Sept. 1751 according to Farmington
Vital Records vol. LR11, p. 582), was baptized 14 March 1752 in Southington,
Hartford Co., CT, and died 15 Jan. 1852, aged 101 years, 8 months, and 16 days,
at Shongo, Allegany Co., NY. He
was buried in Lot 31 of the Graves Cem. on Woodcock Rd., in Shongo, NY. He married Sarah Holcomb. He married second Sarah Griswold,
daughter of Jeremiah Griswold and Hanna Gibbs of New Milford, CT, before Aug.
1782. She was born 23 Sept.
1751. (According to R-20 and R‑32,
she was born 30 Aug. 1753.)
He was a Rev. soldier having
enlisted from Litchfield Co., CT in April or May 1775 as a private in Captain
Beebe's Co., which was stationed at Ticonderoga, under Major Welch. He was also in Captain Alexander Waugh's
Co., 17th Conn. Militia in 1779.
He was said to have been with Washington at the crossing of the Delaware
River. He was a blacksmith. He lived in Delaware and Chemung
counties, NY and in Bradford and Potter counties, PA. He spent the last years of his life with his son John at
Shongo. He was a U.S. pensioner,
having made application while living at Scio, NY on 27 March 1846, when he was
about 95 years old.
The town of Willing is located in
southeastern Allegany County, bordering on the Pennsylvania state line. It is an average rural town with a
normal history of common, hardworking people. Its beginnings were mainly in agriculture and lumber as were
most towns in western New York.
According to Allegany and its People – 1895, which states: ÒAs near as can
be ascertained the wilderness was first broken by one John Ford from
Connecticut, who came to Willing in 1819.
He was a Revolutionary hero and was said to be in every way qualified to
battle with the forest and its denizens.Ó[34]
About ten years later, Bela Graves,
with his son John, located on lot 33 in the little hamlet of Shongo (then, town
of Scio). The following year they
took up lot 15, where they remained the rest of their lives. Sons Seth and Jeremiah settled on lot
32 in 1830. The Graves family has
always maintained its place in the town, and there are hundreds of descendants
of Bela and Sarah Griswold Graves, many of them carrying the Graves name.
Willing was formed from the towns
of Scio and Independence, on 19 Nov. 1851. The first town meeting was held 4 March 1852. An historical marker commemorating that
meeting is located next to the highway on Route 19 at Yorks Corners. (R‑20, R-32, R‑163, R‑500)

Eber Farnham (238) was born 29
April 1748 in Killingworth, Middlesex, CT, was baptized 5 June 1748, died 8
Feb. 1837 in Darien, Genesee Co., NY, and was buried in the Darien Cem. on Rt.
20 in Darien, NY. He married
Eunice ‑‑‑‑‑‑ about 1774 in Vermont
(?). She was born about 1759, died
14 June 1824 in Darien, NY, and was also buried in the Darien Cem. Eber served in the military during the Revolutionary
War for Vermont from 1780 through 1782.
He owned land in Clarendon, Rutland Co., VT which he purchased from
Elihu Smith and then sold to Demetrius Crampton in 1781. Clarendon was in an area of NH Grants
which was disputed by NY and VT.
After the Battle of Hubbardstown in the Revolutionary War, Clarendon was
mostly deserted by its inhabitants.
By 1790 Eber had moved to Walpole, Cheshire Co., NH. The
History of Walpole, N.H. says that Eber had two wives, Eunice and Harriet,
but it is believed that there was an error in the records and that Harriet was
actually the wife of his son, Luther.
The 1800 and 1810 census has Eber listed as a resident of Pompey,
Onondaga Co., NY and in 1820 he is listed as a resident of Genesee Co. In 1805 Eber was listed as a member of
a church in Oran, Onondaga Co., NY which is now known as the Pompey
Presbyterian Church. (R‑102)

CHILDREN
OF RUSSELL GRAVES (139) AND ANNA ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Hon. John Graves (467) was born 22
(or 27) Dec. 1778 in what was then Albany County in the state of NY, and died
17 Feb. 1855. He married Abigail
Munn, daughter of David Munn and Lois Osborn, on 30 Sept. 1800. She was born 27 Dec. 1780 and died 27
Dec. 1816. He married second
Esther Smith, a native of Rhode Island, on 15 Jan. 1818. She was born 19 Dec. 1784 and died 10
Oct. 1860.
He moved to Herkimer County, NY in
1795 and purchased a farm in that part of the town of Norway now known as
Russia, near Gravesville. He was a
very prominent and useful citizen, ensign in Militia Co. in 1805, drummer in
the War of 1812, supervisor of the town, justice of the peace, member of the
Assembly of the state of New York in 1813 and 1824, and high sheriff of
Herkimer County in 1829, 1830, and 1831.
He was a tall, sandy-complexioned man, dignified but approachable. His residence was still standing on the
main road from Newport to Trenton Falls in the early 1900's. John, Abigail and Esther were buried in
the cemetery at Gravesville, town of Russia, NY.
According to History of Herkimer County by Nathaniel S. Benton, Albany, 1856,
pages 320-321: ÒJohn Graves was a
native of Dutchess county in this state and removed into the town of Russia in
1795, where he selected and purchased by contract a lot in the Ôwild woodsÕ
which he designed to convert into a farm, and make it his abiding place and
home. John arrived at the age of
sixteen with his only possession, an axe.
At the age of 19 years he had paid the contract price for the land, when
calling for his deed the seller could not make him a title, and he was
compelled to find the true owner and again bargain and pay for the lot, which
he did. This was a hard and
discouraging beginning in life to be encountered by one so young and in a new
and wilderness county, but he no doubt believed it better for him to combat the
adversities which had overtaken him, where he then was, than to try any new
locality or other expedient. The
sequel of life with him proved he acted wisely and prudently. He first purchased one hundred six
acres, and then later added one hundred forty-four for a total of two hundred
fifty acres.
He was elected member of assembly
in this county in 1812, on a ticket with Rudolph I. Shoemaker and Hosea
Nelson. His majority, although he
had the largest vote of any candidate on his ticket, was only 40; and the
average majority of the successful candidates was fifty-three. This was at the eve of the eventful
period of the war with Great Britain when political party lines were
stringently drawn. Mr. Graves
supported the war policy of the then national government. He was again chosen member of assembly
at the November election in 1823, with Christopher P. Bellinger and Caleb
Budlong, and was consequently a member of the house during the stormy session
in the winter of 1824, and at the extra session in the following November. The subjects which engrossed public
attention at this time are noticed in another portion of this work. He favored the claims of William H.
Crawford to the presidency and acted throughout with the republican party of
this state in the fruitless effort of securing his election.
Having been chosen sheriff of the
county, he entered upon the duties of the office on the 1st day of January,
1829, which he discharged with great fidelity and satisfaction to the
public. At the end of his official
term he retired from public life to the enjoyments of a domestic home,
surrounded by competence and the society of friends who knew and appreciated
his worth. He died at Gravesville
in the town of Russia on the 16th of February, 1855, aged 76 years, leaving a
widow and two sons, one of whom is the Hon. Ezra Graves of Herkimer.
The obituary notice of his death
disclosed the fact that he died of consumption after a protracted and painful
sickness. Mr. Graves was among the
first of the hardy and resolute pioneers who penetrated the wilderness to the
northwesterly portion of the Royal grant, where for sixty years he marked the
times and seasons as they came and went, and noticed the exit of his compeers
as they passed lifeÕs threshold to their long rest and silent home. But few remain of those who, before the
year 1800, emigrated into the county for the purpose of settlement, and the sod
of the valley shall soon mark the place where that few must rest.Ó (R‑21, R‑158, R‑500)

Dr. Ezra Graves (468) was born
about 1780 in Albany County, NY, and died about 1830. He married Sophronia Curtis. He married second Esther Adams, who had no children. She died about 1823. He married third Mary Esther Adams,
sister of his second wife.
He became a physician and lived
near his brother John in what is now the town of Russia in Herkimer Co.,
NY. He and his first wife deeded
lands there, part of no. 47 in the 3rd allotment of the Royal Grant, on 2 June
1804, and shortly afterwards moved to Cleveland, OH where he became a pioneer
physician. He owned three or four
acres now contained in college grounds opposite Wade Park.
He was a devoted freemason and
lieutenant of the militia in Herkimer County in 1803 and 1804 and, while a
resident of Cleveland, participated in the War of 1812, was lieutenant in the
48th Regiment of Ohio Infantry, and was brevetted captain by the Commander in
Chief at Buffalo, NY on 27 Oct. 1812, where his regiment was in service. He was a good husband and kind father,
persevering and undaunted by difficulties. He built a mill on Doan Creek a short way above the old
Crawford Mill. (R‑500)

Curtiss. She married third ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Seeley. He lived at Elizabethtown,
Canada, about 10 miles from Brockville, where he was imprisoned. Brockville is situated on the north
side of the St. Lawrence River, 12 to 15 miles southwest of Ogdensburg. He was an engineer and was imprisoned
twice for drawing maps for the Americans and for serving with the American Army
against the British in the War of 1812.
He gave his brother Dr. Ezra Graves of Cleveland, OH a power of attorney
authorizing him to convey property in Virginia. This document was dated 26 April 1819 at Cleveland and
acknowledged the same day before Horace Perry, Recorder at Cleveland. He had no children.
A letter from William to his

CHILDREN
OF ASA GRAVES (202) AND DESIRE ‑‑‑‑‑‑
Ruth Graves (628) was born 11 March
1782 (or 1780[54]) in Arlington, Bennington Co., VT[55], and died 4 (or 11) April 1866 in Gustavus, Trumbull Co.,
OH. She married Levi Lane, son of
Jedediah Lane and Phebe Stevens of Jericho, VT, before 1805, probably in
VT. He was born 24 June 1784 in
Salisbury, Litchfield Co., CT, was raised in Jericho, Chittenden Co., VT, and
died 25 Jan. 1868[56] in Trumbull Co., OH.
After their marriage, they moved to NY state, and then to Gustavus Twp.,
OH. They were both buried in Old
Center Cem., Gustavus Twp., OH.
Levi was a soldier in the War of
1812. He enlisted at Burlington,
VT on 19 Feb. 1813 as a private in Captain GoodrichÕs Company of the Eleventh
Regiment, commanded by Col. Isaac Clark, U.S. Infantry (regular army). At the time of his enlistment, he was
described as five feet nine inches tall, with grey eyes, black hair and a light
complexion. Levi was injured by a
falling tree while chopping wood for the use of the troops, then quartered at
Burlington, on or about 18 Dec. 1814.
He suffered fractures of his shoulder blade, collar bone, and a bone of
his left arm which left his left arm and hand totally useless. He was discharged due to medical
disability on 27 May or 20 June 1815.
Levi took the freemanÕs oath at
Jericho, VT in 1812[57]. He was
inscribed on the pension roll of the State of Vermont on 21 June 1815. On 1 March 1826, he appeared before a
justice of the peace in Jamestown, NY, seeking to transfer his pension payments
to that place. According to
statements he gave in 1831 and 1832, Levi was living in Jericho, VT in Sept.
1830, after which time he removed to the town of Naples, Ontario Co., NY. On 16 Sept. 1836, he appeared before a
justice of the peace in Gustavus Twp., OH, stating that he had moved to that
place one year before.
Levi was a farmer at the time of
his enlistment in the army, but later records, including the 1850 and 1860
federal censuses for Trumbull Co., OH as well as the History of Jericho, show
his occupation as physician.
Sylvia Graves, RuthÕs younger
sister, was in the household of Levi and Ruth in Gustavus, OH at the time of
the 1850 federal census, age 61.
Papers in the probate file of Levi Lane include a receipt saying: Ò$6.00 Received Gustavus Feby 12, 1868
of Levi S. Lane [son & executor of the estate] the sum of six dollars for
diging graves of Sylvia Graves & Ruth Lane wife of Levi Lane the said
Sylvia being a relic of said Levi Lane.
[signed] ‑‑?‑‑ Bailey.Ó Thus, Sylvia Graves appears to have
died in Trumbull Co., OH, unmarried, prior to 12 Feb. 1868. (R‑25, R‑26, R‑48)

CHILDREN OF ASAHEL GRAVES (223)
AND SARAH ------
Si Remington Graves (692) was born
12 July (or 7 Dec.) 1770 (Litchfield, Litchfield Co., CT). His first name may have been Josiah,
and Si may have just been a nickname.
He married ‑‑‑‑‑‑. He and his father, Asahel, were living
next to each other in the 1810 census for Harpersfield, Delaware Co., NY. Remington was not found in the 1820 or
1830 censuses, and he could have been the older male in the household of his
son Asahel in Choconut, Susquehanna Co., PA, or that older male could have been
RemingtonÕs father. The older male
was 45 or older in 1820 (could have been either Remington or Asahel), and 70-80
in 1830 (Asahel would have been 84, and Remington would have been 60, so it was
more likely Asahel).

Asahel Graves (696) was born about
1798 in CT or NY, and died after 1880, probably in PA. Both his parents were also born in CT
(according to the 1880 census). He
married Hannah Wells[64]. She was born
about 1801 in PA, and apparently died before 1880.
They were in the 1820, 1830 and
1840 censuses for Choconut, Susquehanna Co., PA. They were in the 1850 census for Apolacon Twp., Susquehanna
Co., PA, page 171, house 2618, with him listed as Asa Graves, farmer. They were in the 1860 and 1870 censuses
for Apolacon, Susquehanna Co., PA.
In 1880 he was 82, widowed, in the household of his son, Asahel, and
Hannah was not listed. The 3 older
daughters in the list of children were in the 1840 census but had probably
married by 1850, since they were no longer in the household. All their children were born in PA.
The parentage of Asahel Graves is
supported not only by census records but also by analysis of the given names in
this family, especially the name Asahel, the places lived, and DNA test
results.
The main evidence for the marriages
of sons Chester and Asahel is a series of photographs of all the children and
grandchildren of Zilpha (Gould) Tallmadge which were passed on to R‑194
by Elmer Ellsworth Devol, grandson of Anna C. (Gould) Devol, who was a sister
of Zilpha Gould. (R‑194)

CHILDREN
OF BELA GRAVES (225)
John Graves (705) was born 17 (or
14) Oct. 1784, and died 16 Sept. (or Oct.) 1862 at Shongo, Allegany Co.,
NY. He married Jerusha Campbell,
daughter of Nathaniel Campbell and Beulah Fuller, on 13 Jan. 1808. She was born 19 June 1791 in Orange
Co., NY, and died 5 Nov. 1862.
(Nathaniel came to America from England and his wife came from
Scotland). Jerusha was a
half-sister of Charity Campbell, who married Abner Graves (#708), JohnÕs
brother. Census records list
JohnÕs occupation as farmer. They
moved in 1829 from Potter Co., PA to Shongo, NY.
This John may have been a veteran
of the War of 1812. Some have
passed down the story of him being an Òold soldier,Ó since he was born during
the Revolutionary War, and died at the beginning of the Civil War. John accompanied his father Bela, with
his wife and family, to Willing, NY, around 1828-1830, from Harpersfield,
Delaware Co., NY. They settled on
Lot 33, and two years later, he moved across the Genesee River to Lot 15, where
he remained until his death.
The following is taken from a
photocopy of a presumed-original letter, obtained from the National Archives:
ÒState
of New York
Allegany County John
Graves being duly sworn
Deposeth
and saith that he is a son of Bela Graves that his mothers name was Sarah and
that his Grandfathers name on his mothers side was Jeramiah Griswold and that
he was born in the Town of Litchfield State of Connecticut that his father Bela
Graves lived in said town of Litchfield and in sight of and nearby Major David
Welch who had an Iron forge there and for whom his Father worked. That his Father had a Brother by the
name of Asahel Graves who this deponent well knew and that they resided there
until this deponent was about 12 years of age and then removed to Deleware
[sic] County State of New York that his father Bela Graves has in his
possession a Bound Book which he has used for an account book ever since this
deponent can remember until it was filled with accounts. That there is several accounts upon
said book against men who resided in Litchfield having dates as early as 1784
and that the accounts of said David Welch and Asahel Graves and others are in
said book and settled and the names of David Welch and Asahel Graves and others
who resided there signed to the settlements in said book. That most of the accounts are in
regular form day and date and for work as a blacksmith which was the business
of his Father followed that among the accounts credited to said Welch is one of
6 penies for taking acknowledgement of deed dated 17 Nov. 1788 that the other
credits are for store goods mostly and that said Welch was a merchant. And this deponent further saith that he
has always understood that his father Bela Graves was a soldier in the
Revolution that he has understood it for 45 or 50 years which time [page ends]
this deponent can Distinctly recall it and that this deponent is now over 60
years of age. That this deponent
has heard his father talk of the war and give recollections of his service when
his Fathers Memory was good and when he could name his officers and messmates
that he has often told this deponent and others that he was entitled to a
pension and could get it if he lived in Connecticut or if he knew where the
witnesses lived but that he was too poor and too old and could not look them
up. And that said Bela Graves is
now 94 years old according to this deponents family record and that this
deponent has seen his fathers
family record but does not know where it is. All of which this deponent verily believes to be true

Samuel Graves (718) was born 4 June 1794 in Cooperstown,
Otsego Co., NY, was baptized 14 Dec. 1800 in the Presbyterian Church,
Cooperstown, NY, and died 30 July 1880 in San Francisco, San Francisco Co.,
CA. He married Polly Bostwick,
daughter of William Bostwick and Hannah Warner, on 23 May 1819 in Auburn,
Cayuga Co., NY. She was born 28
Sept. 1798 at Whitestown, Oneida Co., NY, and died 9 Feb. 1876 in San
Francisco, CA. Samuel and Polly
celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary with a large party in San
Francisco. They both were buried
in Laurel Hill Cem. in San Francisco.
When that cemetery was demolished in the 1940Õs, they were reburied in
Cypress Hill Cem., Colma, CA, plot 681, in what is known as Laurel Hill
Mound. Those buried there were,
for the most part, early pioneers and leaders in the San Francisco and northern
California areas.
He was a devoted member of the
Masonic fraternity and lived in Batavia, NY at the time of the Great
Anti-Masonic crusade in this country.
The family returned to Auburn, NY about 1829 and lived in the large house
purchased at 10 Orchard St. (name now changed) where the ten living children
were raised. He then moved to
California and was prelate of the Grand Commandery in that state. He was a man of great strength and
purity of character and much respected.
He was an inventor, a
gold/silver/platinum-smith, and a watchmaker. Polly and Samuel were staunch Episcopalians, as were their
children. Samuel supposedly made a
silver altar vessel for BeniciaÕs Episcopal Church. In Benicia, the capital of California at the time, both
Samuel and his son were instrumental in the establishment of that parish as
well as the two academies, one for boys and the other for girls, associated
with it. The two men were also
instrumental in establishing St. PeterÕs Episcopal Church in San Francisco and
were lay leaders there for many years.
When Samuel and Polly moved from
New York to San Francisco in 1863, the ship carrying all their household
furnishings and possessions was captured by Raphael Semmes, the notorious Civil
War-era ÒConfederate pirateÓ, captain of ÒThe Alabama.Ó
The Memoirs and Masonic History of the late Samuel Graves[68], compiled at the time of his death, gives the following
accounts of his life:
ÒFor three or four years, —
from eight until nearly twelve years of age, — he attended the village
school, taught by Mr. Orlando R. CoryÉThese few years in the public school, to
which may be added about six months after he had arrived at the age of
twenty-one years, comprise all the educational advantages which Bro. Graves
ever enjoyed: he was emphatically
a self-taught man. At the age of
fourteen years he was bound as an apprentice to the firm of Graves &
Nichols, the senior partner being his elder brother, Jesse Graves. This firm carried on the business of
watch-making and manufacturing jewelry, and here Bro. Graves had the benefit of
instruction in the art of working the precious metals by skilled workmen from
the older cities of the United States and EuropeÉ
Of the exhilarating amusement of
skating, Master Samuel was particularly fond; and, in the winter season, the
glassy surface of Lake Otsego in Cooperstown, NY, nine miles in length by about
two in breadth, afforded him and his young companions ample scope for
indulgence in their favorite pastime.
Among those who often joined the merry throng upon these skating frolics
was the since celebrated novelist, James Fennimore Cooper, from whose family
Cooperstown derived its name. Of
him Bro. Graves says: ÔHe was the
most graceful skater I ever saw; being tall and slender in form, he was
exceedingly active, and, while skating, would cut the initials of his name in
the ice with the greatest ease.Õ
The longest vacation taken by
Samuel during his apprenticeship was occupied in escorting his mother on a
visit to her mother, whom she had not
seen for more than twenty-five years.
This journey from Cooperstown, New York, to Peterboro, New Hampshire, a
distance of more than two hundred miles, was no light undertaking for a lady,
whose only escort was a boy of fifteen years. As the details of the journey are interesting, we will give
his own graphic description of them.
ÒWe left Cooperstown in August, 1809, in a one-horse carriage and
arrived in Albany at noon of the third day, having traveled about sixty-six
miles. From there we proceeded to
Lansingburg, where my youngest brother was living, and also my motherÕs
youngest brother, Walter, who was minister in charge of the First Presbyterian
Church in that city. We remained
there over Sunday, and on Monday morning we left for Walpole, passing through
Hoosac and Bennington, at the base of the Green Mountains, where a decisive
battle had once been fought, and we felt great interest in viewing the grounds,
as my father and two uncles had taken an active part in that battle.
ÒAfter a short visit to this place,
we departed for the town of Brattleboro.
Our road led over the mountain by a steep grade, three miles in
length. The weather being very
warm, we were obliged to stop several times to rest our wearied horse, and when
about half the distance was accomplished, we stopped to examine a very large
birch tree, under which, we were informed, a man, who many years ago attempted
to cross the mountain in the winter time, was found frozen to death. In consequence of this fatal incident,
the tree had become an object of interest, and the names of several hundreds of
travelers who had passed that way had been cut into the bark of the tree, some
of them as high as a man could reach by standing erect upon a horseÕs
back. Several other trees in the
vicinity had been covered with names in the like manner, and I was about to add
my name to the number when my mother discovered a man approaching us, and
hurrying me down, I lost an opportunity of immortalizing my name, and our
equine motor received a sudden impetus on the road to Brattleboro, where we
arrived about sunset, having accomplished only about twenty miles during the
day; and a hard dayÕs work it was.
Here we rested during the night.
ÒOn the following day, we traveled
for several miles near the banks of the Connecticut river, and were much amused
at the different styles of fences presented to our view. Some fields were entirely surrounded by
pine stumps, whose formidable roots, all turned outward, formed an impenetrable
barrier to the predatory incursions of trespassing cattle; others were enclosed
by stone walls, the material for which had been gathered from the land to make
room for the seed, and had been erected by hands which perhaps, but a few years
since, had been engaged in doing battle to secure the independence of our
Nation.
ÒNear the close of that day, we
crossed the Connecticut River near BellowsÕ Falls, in the village of Walpole,
where we passed the night with some of our relatives, and gladly availed
ourselves of the opportunity for rest afforded us, after a long and tedious
journey of about two hundred miles.
In those days, a journey of that length was attended by more hardship
and annoyance, and occupied more time, than is now experienced in a trip across
the continent.
ÒOn the following morning we found
our way to the well known ÔGravesÕ Farm,Õ situated about one and a half miles
east from BellowsÕ Falls, on an eminence overlooking the village of
Walpole. This farm, consisting of
one hundred and sixty acres, was purchased by my grandfather in its wild and
uncultivated state; but now, how striking the difference! The virgin forest had given way to
cultivated fields and orchards abounding in various kinds of fruit trees, while
the rude cabins of the pioneers were replaced with substantial farm-houses,
barns, cider-mills, etc.
ÒMy grandfatherÕs name was Aaron
Graves, and at the time of our visit he was ninety years of age, and apparently
in the enjoyment of good health.
His son Samuel carried on the farm, and, I believe, continued to do so
during his lifetime.
ÒAfter a visit of about ten days to
our relatives at the old homestead, refreshed and recuperated by rest and the
hospitable fare characteristic of the ÔOld Granite State,Õ we again proceeded
on our journey to Peterboro, a town about thirty miles distant, on the direct
road to Boston. On our way we
passed through the town of Keene, a lively little village, where we tarried a
short time to refresh ourselves and give needed rest to the faithful horse, who
had thus far borne us securely on our way. While looking about the town a little, we encountered a
gentleman of an inquiring turn of mind, who, with a laudable (?) ambition for
the acquisition of knowledge, proceeded to interview us after the traditional
Yankee method. ÔWhere did you come
from? Where are you going? What kind of folks are living away out
there in the wilderness? AÕint the
Injuns very troublesome? and, what
dÕye call that kind of carriage way out there in York State?Õ were questions propounded in rapid
succession, and which I answered to the best of my ability, and, bidding our
inquisitive friend good-bye, we resumed our journey, and after about two hours
of travel we arrived at the farm where my mother was born. Here we found my motherÕs
mother—a lady whose hair was bleached by the snows of eighty-eight
winters—seated at the loom, busily engaged in plying the weaverÕs shuttle
in the manufacture of a coarse hempen fabric, used for the purpose of covering
the kilns in drying hops. My
uncle, who was many years younger than my mother, had charge of the farm, and
was largely engaged in raising hops for the Boston marketÉ
ÒMy maternal grandfather I know
little of; he died several years before the Revolution. We remained a few days at the old
homestead, after which, rested and refreshed, we set out upon our return. We stopped at Walpole and Lansingburg,
where most of our relatives resided, and at the latter place we were joined by
my youngest brother, who had been spending some time with an uncle who resided
there. After remaining a few days
at this place, we diligently prosecuted our journey home, and arrived safely in
Cooperstown, after an absence of six weeks. We found our friends all well, and glad to welcome us back
after our long and tedious journey.Õ
After a few daysÕ
rest, Master Graves again took his place in the workshop, and was employed in
the manufacture of gold beads, an article of jewelry which the superstition of
the time had invested with a particular charm, as they were believed to be the
only effectual remedy for the Ògoitre,Ó an unsightly swelling of the throat,
now seldom seen in this country, but still common in the mountains of
Switzerland. The fear of
disfigurement by the repulsive Ògoitre,Ó and the faith reposed in gold beads as
a preventative, created a brisk demand for the shining spheres, and the
jewelers were very careful not to discourage the belief in their efficacy as a
remedial agent.
When Master Graves had served some
three years of his apprenticeship, he had made such progress in the jewelersÕ
art that he was enabled to earn considerable amounts by over-work; that is to
say, after the usual dayÕs work required of a journeyman was accomplished, he
would be paid journeymanÕs wages for all work over the required task. For instance, to make one set of silver
tea-spoons was accounted as one dayÕs work, while two days were allotted to a
set of table-spoons; one string of gold beads occupied one day in their
manufacture, and other articles were considered in like proportion. When our apprentice had performed his
allotted task he was at liberty to dispose of the remainder of his time as he
pleased, and, being industrious and frugal, he chose to remain in the factory
and earn what he could by extra labor, rather than spend his time in profitless
amusement. The price at that time
for making a set of tea-spoons was one dollar, table-spoons two dollars, etcÉ
It was his invariable custom,
during his apprenticeship, to rise early in the morning and proceed to the
workshop, where he would employ himself for about an hour and a half before
breakfast, walking nearly a mile to obtain that meal, which act of
pedestrianism, being repeated twice daily, gave him considerable out of door
exercise. At six oÕclock, P.M.,
his dayÕs work proper was ended, but it was his custom to return to the workshop
after partaking of the evening meal, where he would labor until eleven oÕclock
on extra work. He would then
retire to his much-needed rest, usually carrying home with him a box in which
were packed some seventy-five or one hundred watches, having no fear of being
robbed or molested. Only six hours
of the twenty-four were devoted by him to sleep, the remaining eighteen being
spent in active labor or in the improvement of his mind by reading and study. In this way he faithfully served his
apprenticeship of seven years, terminating on the fourth day of June 1815. Upon a final settlement with his
employers, he found himself in possession of something over three hundred
dollars, and with this capital he commanded business for himself in
Cooperstown, where he was born, and the boundaries of which he had seldom
crossed. In this business he
continued for one year, at the expiration of which a friend of his, Roger
Haskell by name, a saddle and harness maker by trade, having decided to remove
his business to Auburn, a growing vilage [sic] situated about one hundred miles
west of Cooperstown, proposed to Mr. Graves to close up his business in the
latter place and seek, with him, in the former, a more extended field of
enterprise. After consulting with
a young man named James Fitch, between whom and Mr. Graves a partnership had
been negotiated, they decided to accept Mr. HaskellÕs proposition, he offering
to let them have a part of his store, which would cost but little to fit up for
their business.
Before going to Auburn, Mr. Graves
proceeded to Albany to replenish his stock of goods, and on his return, bidding
good-bye to his friends and neighbors, he took his departure to seek his
fortune among strangers.
The description of his journey to
Albany and afterwards to the scene of his future labors, and his struggles to
obtain a foothold in business there, will be given in his own words.
ÒHe says:—ÒWe left Cooperstown for Albany on the
nineteenth day of June 1816, in an open wagon, that being the only mode of
conveyance available, and for fellow-passengers we had the pleasure (?) of the
company of the sheriff and four guests of the commonwealth, who, having
involuntarily accepted the hospitalities of the State, were being escorted to
the institution in such cases provided for their future (dis)comfort, and to
secure them against the attacks of Indians and wild animals which at that time
abounded in its more unsettled localities. This institution was called the New York State Prison, and
was, at that time, the only penitentiary in the State, and was located in the
city of New York, near where Canal Street now terminates on the North River
side.
ÒI well remember the morning we
left Cooperstown, for, although we had reached the middle of the first month of
summer, the ground was covered with snow six inches deep, and when the sun rose
and melted the snow, the corn, which had grown to the height of from two to six
inches, was blackened and withered as if swept by a storm of fire. Forest and fruit trees shared the same
fate throughout a large extent of the country and on the evening of that
memorable day, fires in the houses were as necessary to comfort as if the
season had been mid-winter. This
phenomenal weather prevailed during the entire summer season, and extended throughout
the United States. Frost appeared
in the Northern States to a greater or less extent in every month of the year,
and crops, in many instances, were entirely destroyed by it. Corn was a total failure in all the
Northern States, and throughout the Eastern States but little ripened
sufficiently to serve for seed. A
few farmers were fortunate enough to have kept over a portion of the previous
crop, but the bulk of seed had to be obtained from the Southern States at the
price of two dollars and fifty cents per bushel of sixty pounds, and even at
that price it was difficult to obtain.
ÒThe potato crop also failed, and many cargoes were
imported from Ireland, and upon their distribution through the country, the
people would cut out the eyes for seed and would use the remaining portion of
the tubers for food.
ÒThe year 1816 will long be
remembered as the year without a summer; and this abnormal condition of things
was attributed by scientists to the spots upon the sun, which in that year were
so distinct that they could readily be discovered with the naked eye, and by
using a piece of smoked glass their sizes, shapes, and number could without
difficulty be traced and determined.
The air had a chilly feeling, similar to that experienced during the
total eclipse of the sun in 1806, when, at eleven oÕclock in the morning, the
fowls went to roost and the cattle sought shelter as at night.
ÒThe weather gradually improved as
the spots disappeared from the sun, and the time of scarcity was succeeded by a
season of abundance. So great was
the yield in cereals during the three years immediately succeeding the scarcity
of 1816-17, that wheat, which in those years readily commanded $2.50 per
bushel, was sold in any quantity at thirty cents per bushel. I remember a reply made to my partner
by a Mr. Underwood, in 1819, who asked if he was not buying too much
wheat. He answered: ÔI will buy
wheat as long as I can find thirty cents to pay for a bushel.
ÒThe principal reason for this
great decline in prices was, that every farmer exerted himself to raise the
largest possible quantity of grain, believing that high prices would continue
to rule. This was a great mistake,
for the quantity produced was far more than sufficient to supply the local
demand, and as no facilities by canal or railroad at that time existed to
convey the surplus to market, ‑ to use a California expression ‑
grain naturally Ôtumbled to bed-rock prices.Õ
ÒThe means of transportation, however,
were not long delayed. By the
energy, enterprise, and perseverance of De Witt Clinton, then Governor of New
York, aided by the efforts of Humphrey Howland, of Scipio, a canal was
projected to connect the waters of Lake Erie with those of the Hudson
River. The proposed canal was to
be three hundred and sixty-three miles in length, and by its means a direct
channel for freight and passenger traffic would be opened between Buffalo and
Albany. The first advocate of this
stupendous project was Jesse Hawley, who, in a series of articles published in
1807-8, under the nom de plume of
ÔHercules,Õ set forth the feasibility and great importance of the
enterprise. The work was not
commenced, however, until 1817, when it was pushed with great energy until its
completion in 1825, and on the second day of November of that year the
consummation of this great work was celebrated by the firing of cannon along
the whole line. I was at that time
Superintendent of the Arsenal at Batavia ‑ having been appointed to that
position several months previously ‑ and received orders to fire a salute
of one hundred guns on that day, commencing at meridian. It is needless to say that the order
was cheerfully obeyed.
ÒAt the time of Mr. GravesÕs
arrival in Auburn, accompanied by his partnerÉhe was twenty-two years of
ageÉ In figure he was somewhat
slender, but well and firmly knit, straight as an arrow, measuring five feet
and ten inches in height, and weighing one hundred and thirty-two pounds. He was industrious and frugal in his
habits, and, to use his own words, Òhad neither time nor inclination to
cultivate idle or vicious practices.Ó
There were two persons in Auburn at
the time of Mr. GravesÕs advent, engaged in the business of manufacturing and
repairing watches and jewelry.
Upon these artisans our young adventurers called, and, introducing
themselves, made known their intention of establishing themselves in the same
line. The first upon whom they
called expressed his willingness somewhat sneeringly, to have them try the
experiment; but the second, an aged Quaker, said: ÒWal, boys, I think thee has
driven thy pigs to a poor market.Ó
Two years afterwards jeweler No. 1 had sold out his business and gone to
farming, and the venerable Friend who
had so tersely expressed his lack of confidence in the pig market was glad to
find employment with the new firm.
The aforesaid
Quaker claimed to have made the first watch manufactured in America, and Mr.
Graves said he had reason to believe the statement was correct. The name of this ancient horologer was
Peter Fields.
Mr. Graves continued to do a
successful business in Auburn until 1824, when he was induced to close out and
remove to the town of Batavia ‑ a change which he subsequently had reason
to regret as a financial failure.
In the summer of 1825 General
La Fayette, accompanied by his son, passed through Rochester, on his way
to New York. The municipality of
Rochester gave a public entertainment in honor of the distinguished visitors,
to which Mr. Graves was invited, and was introduced to La Fayette as a brother
Mason. He was also introduced to
the younger La Fayette and a companion who traveled with them but whose name is
not given. Of this entertainment
Mr. Graves says:-
ÒThe Mayor of Rochester presided at
the head table, and on his right sat General La Fayette, his son, and traveling
companion. The tables were loaded
with the luxuries of the season, and after the cloth was removed speeches were
made by the Mayor, General La Fayette, and others, and the utmost good feeling
prevailed.Ó
Mr. Graves was married on the
twenty-third day of May, 1819, to Miss Polly Bostwick, daughter of the late
William and Hannah Bostwick, of Auburn.
The marriage was solemnized in St. PeterÕs Church at that place, the
Rector, Rev. Lucius Smith, formerly of Litchfield, Connecticut, officiating on
the occasion. They were the first
couple ever married in that Church, and also the first couple ever united in
the bonds of wedlock by the Rector.
The ceremony was performed during divine service in the afternoon, and
attracted much attention, as marriages in churches at that day were something
of a novelty. The other churches
were closed on that afternoon, and St. PeterÕs was crowded to its utmost
capacity. The bridesmaids were Misses
Hannah Terry and Philura Bostwick, and the groomsmen were William W. Bostwick
and John Porter. The marriage
proved to be a most happy one, and for fifty-seven years this model couple
rejoiced in each otherÕs joys and aided each other in bearing the burdens of
life. Ten children were born to
them: three died in infancy, two died at a later period, and five – three
sons and two daughters – are now living.Ó (R‑13, R‑500)
