Stephanie, your part of the Graves family has not been researched well. There are two versions of your Graves ancestry on the Graves Family Association website. One is in genealogy 571 at www.gravesfa.org/gen571.htm, which gives the parents of Dorcas Graves as Jacob Graves and Martha Bentley. The other is in genealogy 28 at www.gravesfa.org/gen028.htm, which gives her parents as Phineas Graves and Elizabeth Carteret, descended from a prominent Greaves shipbuilding family that lived in what is now London, along the Thames. This second version is most likely to be correct. Go to the Graves Family Association website at www.gravesfa.org and send me a message or join the Graves Family Association group on Facebook

if you would like to discuss this further.

I am a descendant of Elizabeth Graves, who was married to Joseph Hibbard born 1648, /salem, Massachusetts. I don't know anything about her. But the Hibbard line is connected to Lady dianna Spencer. Scott

Mary, have you been working on the Graves or are you working on other lines?

Feel free to upload any files that pertain to the descendants of Thomas and Martha. You can do this under "Start Discussion". In the words of a famous Iowa genealogist, "The more we share, the more we have to share!"

Actually, that wouldn't be my Graves family. I thought it was Graves in general.

I decided to expand the focus of the group to include ALL the children of Thomas and Martha (Dixon) Graves, not just that of John.

Karen, in case you aren't aware, your Graves family from John and Elizabeth Freeman Graves is part of genealogy 85 on the Graves Family Association website at http://www.gravesfa.org/gen085.htm. John Graves is #49 in that genealogy, descended from Thomas Graves, an immigrant to what became New Castle Co., Delaware, USA. Our recent research indicates he was from Northern Ireland, and the surname probably went through a couple of changes.

Hi Bonnie, I guess you have seen that information before. :)

Oops, spelled mean incorrectly. I have visited the Pooler graveyard in Skowhegan and seen the grave makers for the Graves and Poolers. That is one of my clues that Betsey is the daughter (granddaughter?) of William and Betsey Graves.
