DESCENDANTS OF SPENCER
GRAVES OF VA & KY
GENERATION 1
Spencer Graves (1) was born in VA,
probably about 1785-1790, and probably died before 1850 (and almost certainly
by 1852) in McCracken Co., KY. He
was not found in the 1850 census, and the grandson that he had adopted was
taken in 1852 by Charles B. Graves and wife Lucinda to raise. He married ‑‑‑‑‑‑.
It is believed that John R., and
Robert Graves are brothers of Charles because they were shown on the 1850
census for McCracken Co., KY, living with Charles and Lucinda. Robert was shown as age 20 (b.c. 1830) and
John as 23 (b.c. 1827). Spencer
Graves is believed to be their father because there is an indenture agreement
dated 1847 (soon after his daughter Jane died) between Spencer Graves and James
Hobbs. James was father of John
Thomas Hobbs, and husband of Jane Graves.
The document does not explicitly name Spencer as the grandfather, but
that seems the most likely explanation.
Another clue is in the Civil War
pension application of John Thomas Hobbs.
Because his war records were lost, he had to get affidavits from folks
that knew him in KY and during the war.
One affidavit was from Lucinda E. Dent (wife of Charles Barefoot
Graves), who stated that John Thomas Hobbs was her nephew and that she raised
him since he was 7 years old.
Spencer Graves was not found in the
1800 census. He was in the 1810
census for Essex Co., VA. He was
in the 1820 census for Drisdale, King and Queen Co., VA, living near Taliaferro
Graves and John S. Graves, Sr. He
was in the 1830 census for Essex Co., VA.
He was in the 1840 census for McCracken Co., KY, living near Susannah
Graves. Based on these census
records, the following children are likely. Most, if not all, of the children were born in VA.
The 1850 census for McCracken Co.,
KY also lists the families of Joseph M. Graves, b.c. 1820, and John L. Graves,
b.c. 1823. These were John Quincy
Graves and Joseph Monroe Graves, not closely related to each other, but both
part of genealogy 270, so it is possible that Spencer Graves was also descended
from gen. 270. The only person
named Spencer Graves in Kentucky in 1850 was Spencer Coleman Graves in Fayette
Co., KY, who was also part of gen. 270; however, there is no obvious connection
with that Spencer Graves.
In the 1860 census for McCracken
Co., KY, Charles and Lucinda Graves had his brothers Robert (age 40) and John (age 26) living with them, and
Robert (age 50) was still living with them in the 1870 census for McCracken
Co.. (R‑1, R‑5)

by 1840.
Charles married Lucinda Elizabeth
Dent, daughter of Capt. William Dent and Mildred E. Potter, on 5 March 1849 in
McCracken Co., KY. She was born 2
Sept. 1831 (or 7 Dec. 1832[1])

They were in the 1850 and 1860
censuses for McCracken Co., TX.
About 1871 they moved to Texas with
their family, in a wagon, having sold their possessions and put the proceeds in
silver and gold, which they carried in a small doll trunk. They settled about four miles northeast
of Springtown, Parker Co., TX, on the C. B. Graves Survey, of 132 acres. Here they chopped the timber and put in
a farm of about 50 acres and fenced it with split rails, since it was before
the time of barbed wire. They were
members of the Baptist Church at Pleasant Grove (now Opal), in the Tarrapin
Neck Community. About 1890 they
moved to Springtown, on a three-acre tract on the east side of town.
They were in the 1900 census for
Springtown, Parker Co., TX, when all 5 of their children were still living, and
he was a farmer. The family of
their daughter, Catherine, was living nearby.
Both their sons left Texas and went
to Oklahoma about 1907, when it became a state, and that is where they both
died. (R‑1, R‑2)
