| Notes |
- Thomas Graves (6) was born by 1724, as his father, John Jr., gave him 200 acres on Muddy Run in 1745 (Orange Co., VA Deed Book 10, p. 24, 1745), and he would have had to have been at least 21 to own land. Thomas and his wife Elizabeth sold this land on 22 April 1757. By then it had become part of Culpeper Co., VA (Culpeper Deed Book C, p. 3). It is possible that Elizabeth was the widow Elizabeth Simms. In commenting on this, Mrs. Sue Davis said: "Mrs. Hiden thought it possible that Elizabeth was also called Ann and a daughter of Thomas Sims who died testate 1785 in Culpeper Co., Va., naming a daughter Ann Graves. This seems unlikely, as Thomas and Elizabeth's daughter married Zachariah Sims, son of Thomas Sims, who died 1785.
If Ann were her mother, she would have married her uncle." However, the fact that one of their grandchildren was named Thomas Sims Graves raises the question of whether he may have been named after his great-grandfather. Thomas Graves died in 1792 (before 18 June 1792, the date his will was proved), testate, in Culpeper Co., VA. Elizabeth had died before this date, since she was not named in the will. According to tradition, Thomas and Elizabeth had 13 or 14 children. The first 9 children listed below are named in the will of Thomas, and the will gives no implication of other children. Although Mrs. Hiden credits Thomas with several other children, Mrs. Sue Davis (R‑14) knew of no evidence to support this. (See correspondence of June 6, 1982 from Gerald Born for more information on this part of the family.) (R‑12, R‑14, R‑911, R‑912)
