Cyrus Graves (440) was born 6 May 1767 in Pittsfield, Berkshire Co. (or Spencertown), MA, and died 10 March 1844 in Fair Haven, Rutland Co., VT. He married Roxana Rose of Rhode Island, daughter of Nathan Rose and Sarah Haskill, on 6 Nov. 1787. She was born 2 May 1768 at Chester, Hampden Co., MA.

Cyrus moved to Fair Haven on 1 April 1825 with his four unmarried children (Orpah, Eli, Ruth, and Joel), leaving Nathan and Abraham on the old homestead in Rupert, and Allen in India. Cyrus bought from Jacob Willard the old Isaac Cutler farm on West St., on which he settled. He married second Mary Bascom. Although many sources state that Roxana died of consumption 3 (or 2) July 1825, age 57, in Fair Haven, R-9 says the cemetery record for Fair Haven, VT for this death date is for Cyrus's second wife, Mary Bascom.

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: John 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 wild woods 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 lifes 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.

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-200)

This document was dated 26 April 1819 at Cleveland and acknowledged the same day before Horace Perry, Recorder at Cleveland. He had no children.

CHILDREN OF ASA GRAVES (202) AND DESIRE ------
Ruth Graves (624) was born 11 March 1782 (or 1780[53]) in Arlington, Bennington Co., VT[54], 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[55] 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 Goodrichs 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 freemans oath at Jericho, VT in 1812[56]. 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, Ruths 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: $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. 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 BELA GRAVES (225)
John Graves (698) 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 (#701), Johns brother. Census records list Johns 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 old soldier, 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:

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 Benicias 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. Peters 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 Confederate pirate, captain of The Alabama.
The Memoirs and Masonic History of the late Samuel Graves[66], compiled at the time of his death, gives the following accounts of his life:
For three or four years, from eight until nearly twelve years of age, he attended the village school, taught by Mr. Orlando R. CoryThese 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 Europe
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: He 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.
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. We 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 mothers 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.
After 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 horses 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 days work it was. Here we rested during the night.
On 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.
Near the close of that day, we crossed the Connecticut River near Bellows 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.
On the following morning we found our way to the well known Graves Farm, situated about one and a half miles east from Bellows 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.
My grandfathers 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.
After 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 Old Granite State, 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. Where did you come from? Where are you going? What kind of folks are living away out there in the wilderness? Aint the Injuns very troublesome? and, what dye call that kind of carriage way out there in York State? 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 mothers mothera lady whose hair was bleached by the snows of eighty-eight wintersseated at the loom, busily engaged in plying the weavers 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 market
My 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.
Home of Samuel and Polly Bostwick Graves, 10 Orchard St., Auburn, NY
After a few days 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 goitre, 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 goitre, 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 jewelers art that he was enabled to earn considerable amounts by over-work; that is to say, after the usual days work required of a journeyman was accomplished, he would be paid journeymans wages for all work over the required task. For instance, to make one set of silver tea-spoons was accounted as one days 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, etc
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 oclock, P.M., his days 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 oclock 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. Haskells 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.

Samuel Graves in middle
He says:“We 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.
I 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.
Samuel Graves in Masonic Regalia
The 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.
The 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 oclock in the morning, the fowls went to roost and the cattle sought shelter as at night.
The 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: I will buy wheat as long as I can find thirty cents to pay for a bushel.
The 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 tumbled to bed-rock prices.
Lucius Smith Graves (1851), son of Samuel Graves
The 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 Hercules, 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.
At the time of Mr. Gravess arrival in Auburn, accompanied by his partnerhe was twenty-two years of age 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, had neither time nor inclination to cultivate idle or vicious practices.
There were two persons in Auburn at the time of Mr. Gravess 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: Wal, boys, I think thee has driven thy pigs to a poor market. 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.
Hannah Sophia Graves and Elizabeth Graves Vail, daughters of Samuel and Polly
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:-
The 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.
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. Peters 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. Peters 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 others 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. (R-13, R-200)

She married Irwin (Erwin) Harris Granger, son of David Granger and Sarah ------, on 22 Jan. 1827, presumably in Pike, Wyoming Co., NY.

From Sylvia Dodson Novaks A History of The Grangers in Minnesota, the following Granger history is included. According to their son Williams and their granddaughter Mary Perry Whites obituaries, Mary and Irwin moved in 1854 from Pike, NY to a farm near Oberlin, Lorain Co., OH. They remained on this farm for seven years. Son Hiram and daughter Orilla left Ohio to homestead in Minnesota in 1859, the year it became a state. They built log homes in the deep woods[67] of Le Sueur County. Dissatisfied to be so far away from part of their family, Mary and Irwin left Ohio, along with daughters, Sabra and Sarah, son, William, and Sabras 3-year old son, Frank, and traveled 31 days by covered wagon to join Hiram and Orilla in Minnesota. It was said they brought the first team of horses to be driven in Le Sueur County and later built the first frame house in Le Sueur County. It was said that Irwin could not tolerate the hard work of the settlers life. He died of pneumonia on March 4, 1864, twelve days short of his 59th birthday. Mary died Aug. 15, 1900, one month shy of her 89th birthday. (R-148)

[3] According to R-64, there is no definitive proof at this time that Rebecca Graves married Edmund Goodenow.
[4] R-208 states David d. 1744/45; his estate was administered by his father, implying no marriage nor children. Date of death from R-209.
[5] R-168 contributed this information.
[6] H. P. Smith, ed., D. Mason & Co. Publishers, Syracuse, NY, 1885, pp. 120-129.

[9] All conflicting names and dates are given by R-94.
[10] R-13 gives Aarons place of birth as Killingworth and R-200 gives it as Saybrook. R-13 states (Saybrook was the town, Killingworth the township area of that town which now is either near or actually part of present-day Chester, CT. Part of the family lived in Pattaconk which is in much the same area.)
[11] According to Farnhan/Farnum Families in America, Vol. I, p. 214, Antoinette Farnum Stepanek, Heritage Books, Inc., 1993, 1745 is correct.
[12] Ibid. Gives 1830 date but not place of death.
[13] R-13 has seen and photographed their gravestones in Saybrook Twp., CT, near Roast Meat Hill and graveyard, although R-27 says that Sylvanus and Lydia were buried in Union Cem. in Killingworth. R-13 believes Roast Meat Hill in probably where Union Cem. is located and that both asssertions are correct.
[14] Farnham/Farnum Families in America does not list a Philetta Parmalee, but does lists Philena, b. 30 April 1780 and Patience, b. 29 Jan. 1783.
[15] The age at death or the birth or death date must be wrong, since if he was born 1786 and lived to age 76, he would have died about 1862.
[16] According to R-180, Roswell Graves was born 1745 in Granville, Hampshire Co., MA, and died 27 Aug. 1776.
[17] R-77 lists a source as Driggs Family in America, 1971, pp. 16-17, 26-27. Prudence Driggs is listed as a probable daughter of Daniel and Ruth on p. 31 of the same work.

[25]John Card Graves, R-200, incorrectly states that this Asa Graves married Philomela Burnham. According to the Burnham genealogy, Philomela was b. 2 Sept. 1786 at Lincoln, VT. She married a different Asa Graves.
[26] In VT Vital Records, her birth is registered in Salisbury, but states mother is of Arlington.
[27] In VT Vital Records, her birth is registered in Salisbury, but states mother is of Wallingford.
