I am 1922 vintage researcher, from Hamlet, NE. My mother was Delila Graves
b. Boone Co., MO. to John Graves/Harriet McGowan; from Wm. &
Mary Ann McKinley Graves of Clark Co.& Morgan Co., IN.
William Graves was b. 5 Sept. 1818 to Henry Graves & Rachel Thomas of
Martinsville, Morgan Co., IN. Henry Graves s/o John Graves/Maria M.
Coble, and w/o Rachel Thomas d/o Abram Thomas migrated into IN from
North Carolina, perhaps 1st into Clark Co & then to Morgan Co.
Thomas originated in Wales and Graves i.e. Graff orign. in Germany.
Henry Graves had a brother David Graves b. 17 May 1788 and many of
this family listed in will of father John Graves 15 May 1846, Clark Co.,IN
===================
I am hopeful that this query will trigger some response from hundreds of
researchers - who have some interest in any of the above names. I have
done much research in Clark Co., IN and back into KY, NC & PA, and to
Germany & Ireland tracing some of these families. Hope we can make
several connections.
