Notes
a. Note:   !On MaMa's records, and she always said, he was a doctor. Back then doctors were poor, and Grandma's parents were dead against the marriage. Lavada says there is proof in Richard and Margarete Graves family bible that Samuel was buried in Soda Springs, Arkansas. In another letter Lavada writes "Soda Springs may well be in Kentucky- if not on a map - could be the name of a cemetery or country place where Samuel died."Also that his middle name was Lewis. On his daughter's death certificate, Mary Alice Graves Watts, they list her father as S. R. Graves, birthplace Tennessee. Mother's records showed the middle name as Reese. Also that he was English, the last time I talked to Mother, and took notes, she said Samuel L. Graves. !On a census I have from Caldwell County, Texas, dated 15th day of June, 1900, it shows a Sam R. Graves, born March 1833 having the occupation of farmer, from Tennessee. His father and mother being from Tennessee. Says he had eight children with four living which were Sam R. born May 1875 and Elizabeth born May 1875, both born in Texas. The other two weren't listed. I am guessing this is my great grandfather Graves, my mother's mother's father. !On a census I have dated 2 June 1880, County of Lavaca, State of Texas, it said Sam Graves, 47 years old - occupation Dentist and Farmer, with him and both of his parents from Tennessee. There also was listed a James Graves 36 brother born Tennessee living with them. I got this census at the BYU Library, Provo, Utah. !The children are always listed as Alice, Dick, Emma, Rees, Sam R.?, I think so, Luther, and Elizabeth M. !On "Marriages" it shows married 16 Nov 1859, residence Calloway, Kentucky, 26 years old, single, born Marshall, Tennessee, married Elizabeth Ellison From a copy of marriages I got at BYU. !Mama wrote me 6 August 1983 that: "Dr. Samuel Reese Graves had two brothers: Dr. James Graves, his son James Graves of Austin, Texas. Dr. Eleson Graves Graves."
