Comment by Arleigh Farrell on May 20, 2016 at 10:25am: Elijah Graves (1789-1867) born in New York. Trying to research Quaker meetings but not sure where in N.Y. Could be near border as he went to Ontario, Canada in 1823 (possibly from Ontario, N.Y.) and joined Hicksite movement there. 4xg grandfather

Comment by Patricia Ash on August 14, 2014 at 1:52pm: The daughter of Benjamin and Rachel (ASHER) Graves was Elizabeth GRAVES who married Stephen Perkins. I follow this line. If you would like the information that I have regarding their family, you may contact me at lpash@msn.com. I am aware of the Perkins vs. White trial, and have done some research on the question.

Comment by Patricia Ash on August 31, 2009 at 10:21am: I actively research the family of John and Susan Graves, through their daughter, Nancy Ann GRAVES Perkins, and her brother, Benjamin GRAVES.

Benjamin Graves lived in Monroe County, Tennessee until his death on 26 December 1856. Both were born in South Carolina.
