We have 2 Graves lines. Our other lines starts with Sarah Graves b. 1659 m. Jonathan Wynne, daughter of Thomas & sister to Samuel, John & Thomas, Jr. Graves. This goes into our WALKER line.
As more work is done on these lines, more pages will be added.

A follow-up from Ken Graves 12/29/02, states that Thomas may have
