  Second Generation  

2. Nicholas Gibbs [5362] (Nicholas¹) was born on 29 Sep 1733 in Village of Wallruth, Krumbach, Baden, Germany and died about 1817 about age 84.

General Notes:


It is believed that the forefathers of Nicholas Gibbs, because of religious and political reasons, migrated from England, their mother country, about the time of the execution of Charles I in 1649 and the reign of Oliver Cromwell. They sought refuge along the Rhine River in Germany and it was in the village of Wallruth, near the town of Krumbach, Duchy of Baden, that Nicholas was born on September 29, 1733.

In the original Gibbs family there were three brothers, Peter, Abraham, and Nicholas, and two sisters, Mary and Catherine. Abraham and Nicholas came from Germany to America, Nicholas coming to America in 1747 and Abraham sometime prior to that time. Peter died in Germany before Nicholas left for America. Abraham settled in the town of Fredericktown, Maryland and his descendants were residents of Baltimore, Maryland in 1846. Nicholas, named for his father (Nicholas of Germany), became offended with his father in some way and left home for America at the age of 14 years (1747). He left home with 30 guineas ($150.00 in American money), which the captain of the ship told him was just half enough to pay for his fare across the ocean, so Nicholas sold his time to pay for the other half.
After working his time out for the other half of his fare, he joined the English army and served five years in the French and Indian War. While he was a soldier his brother, Abraham, heard of him and sought an appointment with him. Nicholas had no recollection of ever having seen his brother, so he applied the criterion his mother had given him by which to identify Abraham, should ever they meet, which was a spot or scar on Abraham's head. Finding the spot on Abraham's head, he at once claimed him as his brother. After serving his tour of five years, Nicholas went to Frederickstown, Maryland to live with his brother, Abraham. However his brother's wife and he did not harmonize, so Nicholas went to North Carolina and settled in Orange County, where he married Miss Mary Ephland and where part of his family was grown and some married before he came to East Tennessee to settle 12 miles northeast of Knoxville, Tennessee, near House Mountain.
Nicholas sold his property in Orange County, North Carolina on October 12, 1791 to Obed Green. His daughter, Catherine, married John Holmes on October 17, 1791 and it is believed that shortly after her marriage he and his large family moved to East Tennessee and settled in what is now Knox County. His old home is still standing near Harbison's Cross Roads (1952). Acccording to Tennessee records, Nicholas bought 450 acres of land in Hawkins County on March 6, 1792, for 200 pounds, "including Beaver Dam Fork on Beaver Creek." This section of Hawkins County later became part of Knox County, when on June 11, 1792, Governor Blount issued an ordinance defining the lines of Greene and Hawkins Counties and laying off two new counties, Knox and Jefferson.


On July 18, 1792,¹ the first court in Knox County was held by James White. On April 25, 1796, the first County Court was begun under the State Constitution, at which time Nicholas Gibbs was one of the Justices of Peace commissioned by the Governor. On April 25, 1796, Nicholas Gibbs was given a grant of 100 acres on Beaver Dam Creek (Knox County) for "services in the Continental Line" (Land Grant Records, Raleigh, North Carolina, Book 88, Page 193, Grant 257, dated March 7, 1796). This grant is also recorded in Knox County, Tennessee, Book B, No. 2, Registrar's Office, and his name appears on the Knox County roll of Revolutionary War soldiers as having participated in the Battle of King's Mountain.² Both Nicholas Gibbs and his wife are buried in an old cemetery located on Emery Road, near Harbison's Cross Roads, North Knoxville, Tennessee. In 1915 stones were erected on the graves by some of his descendants.

Judging from the Knox County Court records, Nicholas Gibbs took an active part in civic affairs until his death, which presumably was in 1817, as his will, dated May 19, 1810, was probated in the July 1817 Sessions Book 2, Page 343, Knox County, Tennessee. This will lists all of his children as follows: seven daughters, Mary, Sarah, Catherine, Silphenia, Elizabeth, "Sophie's heirs", and Barbara; sons, John, David, Jacob, George, Nicholas, and Daniel. At the death of his wife any remaining estate, land excepted, was to be divided as follows: one dollar each to his sons and all remaining estate to be divided equally among his seven daughters. His sons, John and Nicholas, were appointed executors and witnesses were sons, Jacob Gibbs and Daniel Gibbs. John Gibbs, oldest son of Nicholas Gibbs, was born about 1780 and died August 13, 1840. He was buried in Gibbs graveyard in Andersonville, Tennessee, and the grave marked by a rock with his name written on it. On August 8, 1797 he married Ann Howard, born about 1777 in Virginia. They had the following children:³

John Gibbs was a Justice of the Peace in Knox County, Tennessee, in 1802,¹ later moving to Anderson County, Tennessee. The following notice of his death was abstracted from a file of East Tennessee newspaper [sic] 1791-1865:
"John Gibbs, Esq. departed this life in Anderson County, Tennessee after a protracted illness of 50 days. His disease was apoplexy. He died at 7 o'clock in the morning, on the 13th day of August (1840), in the 71st year of his age. For more than 30 years he filled the office of Justice of the Peace, was Entry Taker, etc., and once represented this county in the State Legislature. He was a man of strict urbanity of manner, honest and respected, a kind father, indulgent master, good neighbor and strict friend, lived respected and died lamented."
John Gibbs, in 1821, owned 1091 acres on the Clinch River, where the present city of Norris, Norris Dam and Lake now is in Anderson County, Tennessee. He sold this farm to Jacob Weaver, who deeded it to his daughter and she, in turn, deeded it to her son. He deeded it to his son, who deeded it to Mrs. Seetha Longmire. For five generations the farm remained in the family of Jacob Weaver. Mrs. Seetha Longmire was 73-years-old when the U.S. Government bought her land to build Norris Dam. Mrs. Longmire had spent all her life up to this date, except one year, on this farm. She moved with her son, Austin Longmire, to Maryville, Tennessee, in 1934 and died in January, 1941, at Maryville, Tennessee.
John and Captain Nicholas were brothers, both soldiers in the War of 1812. Captain Nicholas was killed in the Battle of the Horse Shoe, 55 miles south of Fort Strother, in Alabama, on March 28, 1814, leaving a wife, whose maiden name was Rachel Doyle, and two sons, William Daniel and John.

John Gibbs was a Justice of the Peace in Knox County, Tennessee, in 1802,' later moving to Anderson County, Tennessee. The following notice of his death was abstracted from a file of East Tennessee newspaper [sic] 1791-1865:

"John Gibbs, Esq. departed this life in Anderson County, Tennessee after a protracted illness of 50 days. His disease was apoplexy. He died at 7 o'clock in the morning, on the 13th day of August (1840), in the 71st year of his age.

John Gibbs, in 1821, owned 1091 acres on the Clinch River, where the present city of Norris, Norris Dam and Lake now is in Anderson County, Tennessee. He sold this farm to Jacob Weaver, who deeded it to his daughter and she, in turn, deeded it to her son. He deeded it to his son, who deeded it to Mrs. Seetha Longmire. For five generations the farm remained in the family of Jacob Weaver. Mrs. Seetha Longmire was 73-years-old when the U.S. Government bought her land to build Norris Dam. Mrs. Longmire had spent all her life up to this date, except one year, on this farm. She moved with her son, Austin Longmire, to Maryville, Tennessee, in 1934 and died in January, 1941, at Maryville, Tennessee.

The following is a letter to George W. Gibbs dated March 20, 1846
from William Gibbs McAdoo From the first issue of The Gibbs Magazine, published by The Nicholas Gibbs Historical Society. Colin P. McKinney Chancellor Olin P. McKinney Chancellor Geo. A. Gibbs, Clerk & Master The Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court of Obion County Union City, Tenn.

Clinton, E. Te. Friday, March 20th, 1846

Dear Uncle; Your letter of Jan'y 16th reached me in the full tumult of business which marks the close of legislative session. An illness which seized me immediately after adjournment and detained me three weeks in the vicinity of Nashville, also obliterated from my memory the fact of your having requested of me an immediate reply to yours, or at least a note acknowledging its receipt. When I reached home two weeks since and read your letter again, I thought it would occasion but little more delay to obtain the information you desired before I should write. I owe you this apology for not not having written you promptly on the receipt of yours as you requested.

I returned last night from a tour among our relatives. I obtained from Daniel Gibbs, in Knox County a German manuscript in pamphlet form containing in your father's handwriting a record of his own birth, birthplace, etc. and of the births of his children. It also contains a record of the birth of a 'Mary Gibbs' in 1745, who may have been his sister, as Aunt Snodderly and Uncle Daniel Gibbs both remember hearing his speak of having two sisters, Mary and Catherine; or she may have been his wife, as I believe your mother's name was Mary. His own name appears written in the manuscript several times, one or twice in English characters. The date of his birth is '29th of September, 1733. The place, as made out by my German translator (not a very efficient one, by the way) was the village of Wallruth in the town of Krumbach; and these are in the Dutchy of Baden, my translator informs me, who is himself from Baden. Part of the manuscript is illegible, but might be revived by chemical process. I shall either transmit it to you by mail along with this letter; or if I shall visit Nashville soon, as I expect, I may take it with me and endeavor to find some more certain method for its transmission. I would suggest to you to have it read by someone completely master of the German language. It is the only manuscript left of your father's papers which would be of any service to you. The greater portion of his papers passed into the possession of my father, John Gibbs; and my grandmother, (yet living) remembers of their having been destroyed and gradually scattered.

I can hear nothing of his Bible.

The preceding answers your first inquiry -- and last also.

The name of your Grandfather (your second inquiry) was Nicholas. Daniel Gibbs remembers of hearing him frequently saying of hearing your father say, -- I mean -- that he was named after his father; though your father's name appears once written in the German manuscript as John Nicholas Gibbs. Your father spoke often as having been reared on the river Rhine, and of coming away clandestinely at the age of fourteen on account of being offended in some way at his father.

I learn, in reply to your third inquiry, that yAour father had two brothers; one named Abraham, who lived in Fredericktown, Maryland, and whose descendants are now residents of Baltimore and with whom I believe you are acquainted; the other named Peter who is said to have died in Germany, perhaps prior to the departure of your father. I have already mentioned that the latter spoke of having two sisters also -- Catherine and Mary. Mr. Thomas Miller, of Knoxville, informs me that his brother residing in Baltimore, married a daughter of Abraham Gibbs and that Mrs. Miller has in her possession her father's Bible. Perhaps you could derive from it some information that would be of service to you.

In relation to forewarding the manuscript to you, will it not be better for me to retain it here at present, if any process of authentication be necessary? This idea occurs to me at the moment and I believe I shall keep it until I hear from you again. Your Aunts Graves and Sharp (sisters to your mother) to whom you refer me for information, are both dead.

I gleaned many little incidents in the history of our family from conversations with the other members of it; but none I now think of could, I imagine, avail you anything. I will take great pleasure in furnishing you any additional information you may desire and I can obtain.

I regret your inability to visit Nashville during our long unprofitable session there. I certainly expected you until I received your letter. I also hoped to have seen you and inquired for you at the Memphis Convention. lf convenient, please remember me kindly to Mr, Bullock, your able and intelligent Representative in the last Legislature. Be kind enough to write me immediately if you please. Will you or your son go to Germany? Nothing but a lack of means deters me from visiting you and crossing the Atlantic with you -- not so much the prospect of pecuniary advantage as through a desire to look on the land from whence my fathers came.
Believe me most affectionately yours,

Wm. G. McAd00
(William Gibbs McAdoo)

General Notes: Sarah Efland could have been born in New Jersey, Pennsylvania. Last name could be spelled: Eveland, Ephland, or Efland. Source: Bernard McKerman, 2930 W. Echo Lane, Phoenix, Arizona, 85051. Sarah Efland Graves died at her daughter's home (Catherine Graves) in Powell's Valley in Claiborne County, Tennessee, 28 Dec 1842.

Sarah married Bostian Sebastian Graves [844] [MRIN: 510], son of John Sebastian Graff Graves [846] and Catherine Maria Magdalena Fuchs [3140], in Jun 1769 in Orange County, North Carolina. Bostian was born on 1 Oct 1747 in Greenwich Township, Berks County, Pennsylvania, was baptized on 5 Jun 1748 in Dunkel's Church, Berks County, Pennsylvania, died on 1 Apr 1840 in Knox County, Tennessee at age 92, and was buried on 5 Apr 1840 in Graves Cemetery, Graveston, Knox County, Tennessee.

General Notes: Boston (Sebastian) Graves (Graff), was born Oct 1, 1747 in Berks County, Pa. His birth date appears in the records of Dunkel's Church, Greenwich Township, Berks County, so it is assumed that he was born in that township.
An account of the marriage of Boston to Sarah Efland, daughter of Peter and Catherine Efland, is to be found in a affidavit accompanying his pension application, and because of the wealth of family data contained in his application for a pension for services performed in North Carolina during the Revolutionary War, and in affidavits made in behalf of his widow to enable her to obtain a pension after his death, an abstract of their papers has been made by the writer, as follows: Pension Application of Boston Graves (R 4213). Issued July 10, 1 833 $40 per annum from Mar. 4, 1831 - wife Sarah. Applied for pension Aug 23, 1832, in Knox County, Tenn. Age 85.
Born in Pennsylvania on Oct. 1, 1747. Moved to Orange County, N.C., where he was drafted in 1779 as private in the Militia under Capt. Wm. O'Neal.
Boston Graves and William Graves, who was single, were in the blacksmith business together. It was agreed that William Graves perform the war service since Boston had a family. So the two partners divided the profits, which was done in 1779 or 1780.
When Boston was drafted the second time, for 5 or 6 months, he hired his wife's brother , John Ephland, whom he had raised and was then living with applicant, and being a single man , to take his place. Boston Graves had a substitute for the third draft. In 1781, he was drafted for the fourth time for a term of 3 months under Capt. Wm Rogers, Col. Wm. O'Neal and Gen . Butler. Applicant and Joseph Albright were ordered to work out their tour of duty in Orange County, N.C., at the blacksmith business. After one month he was ordered to Hillsboro, where he was taken prisoner, together with Lt. John Campbell, Col. Little and Gov. Birk and sent to Wilmington and put on board a ship and taken to Charleston, S.C., where he was finally exchanged.
On Aug. 21. 1832, Mary Gibbs, now living in Knox County, who lived near Boston Graves in Orange County, N.C., testified that she knew that he was taken prisoner at Hillsboro and held for 11 months.
On June 11, 1841, Sarah Graves made affidavit that her husband, Boston Graves, died April 1, 1840. Henry Graves and William Graves (preacher of the Gospel) made affidavit that they saw Boston Graves die and that they attended the funeral. George Graves was an acting justice of the peace in Knox County.
On Dec. 8, 1841, Philopeni (Phyllis) Sharp of Anderson County, Tenn., testified: "I was present at the marriage of Boston Graves and Sarah Ephland, the wife and widow...; that in the early part of June 1769 in the State of North Carolina, Orange County, I rode from my father's house Peter Ephland, in company with Boston Graves and Sarah Ephland, now Sarah Graves, to Michael Holloway's where they were married by the county minister as he was then called and returned in company with them to my father, and that said Boston and Sarah Graves have lived together as man and wife from that time to his death."

Signed: Philopine X Sharp Her Mark

Witness: Henry Graves Sworn to before William H. Gibbs, Justice of the Peace for Anderson County.

On Mar. 2, 1844, Henry Graves, 55 years old, of Knox County, a son of Boston, who died Apr. 1, 1840, and whose mother, Sarah Graves, died Dec. 28, 1842, testified that his parents left the following children: Catherine Sharp, Elizabeth Clapp, John Graves, Peter Graves, George Graves, Henry Graves and David Graves.

Pension (for Widow) suspended for lack of proof of marriage. (Rejected pension claims, p. 401 )

In addition to the children mentioned, Boston Graves had a daughter named Mary, who married George Trout. (Records of Roy Stockwell) Boston also had a son named Daniel, who died in Knox County on Oct. 7, 1838. Daniel's wife was Sophia Clapp and they had 8 children. A son , John born Sept 20, 1804, married Catherine Graves, daughter of John and Sarah Sharp Graves . (Records of Roy Stockwell)
Boston Graves' name appeared on the 1779 tax list for Orange County, N.C. assessed on property valued at $1,501, and in 1780 he was taxed on 129 acres of land. His name appeared for the last time on the 1785 tax list, still taxed on 129 acres. Records found in Montgomery County, Virginia, indicate that Boston spent several years in that county before settling in Knox County, Tenn., but he apparently retained his property in North Carolina until 1795 , when a deed from Boston Graves to John Iffland, dated Aug 25, 1795 (Orange County, N.C. Granter Book 6, p. 5) appears in the records. Judging from the birthplace of his children, he must have returned to North Carolina from Virginia several times before finally settling in Knox County, where he remained until his death in 1840. Boston's name appeared on the 1790 personal tax records of Montgomery County, Va., in 1790, having made a return on June 29, 1790, on 6 horses, living with him at the time was a male between 16-21. In this record, Boston's name was spelled Bostain Greaves. In 1792, he was taxed on 9 horses: in 1793 on 9 horses ; and in 1795 on 8 horses, with no sons under 21. He appeared in the 1791 Land Book for Montgomery County taxed on 50 acres of land.
At least one of Boston's children-Peter-was born in Virginia, in 1783. On Aug. 21, 1790 , Boston was a witness to the marriage of George Mann to Elizabeth Moyer (Mozer). On Apr. 22 , 1793, Boston's daughter, Elizabeth, married David Clapp (Marriage Book A-Montgomery County, Va). Boston Graves' name was given as father.
On Aug. 16, 1797, Boston Graves and wife Sarah, of the county of Montgomery, Va., deeded to David Price of the same county, 235 acres of land on "Clover Bottom waters of Sinking Creek, a branch of New River..." This deed was acknowledged in the Montgomery County Court of January 1798 by Boston and Sarah Graves. (Montgomery Co. Deed Book C, p. 95)
Daniel Graves' name appears in the 1830 census for Knox County, Tenn., age between 50-60 (1770-80), and it is likely that he was the oldest son of Boston and Sarah Efland Graves.
Boston's daughter, Catherine, married William Sharp, probably about 1789, as their daughter Sarah (Sally) was born Apr. 11, 1790 in Virginia, and is believed to have been the oldest child of the couple. Sally married Daniel Gibbs, youngest son of Nicholas and Mary Efland Gibbs. (They must have been second cousins, as Sally's mother Catherine and Daniel Gibbs would be first cousins)
The 1830 census for Claiborne County gives Catherine Sharp's age as between 50-60, so she was born sometime between 1770-80. (See History of William and Catherine Graves Sharp)
Elizabeth, Boston's daughter, married David Clapp, born Oct. 17, 1772 and believed to have been the son of Barney and Philopeni Moser Clapp. Barney Clapp, born 1741, was the son of George Valentine and Mary Albright Clapp. He married Philopeni Moser, born Dec. 24, 1741; died Jan. 12, 1780, daughter of Adam Moser, formally of Hereford Township, Berks County, Pa.
John Graves, son of Boston, was born about 1780 in North Carolina (1850 Knox County, Tenn. census) and married Mary Trout, born about 1782 in Virginia. (1850 Knox County Tenn. cens us.)
Boston's son Peter was born Sept. 15, 1783 in Montgomery County, Va., and on Apr. 4, 1806, married Jane Milton in Knox County, Tenn. (Obituary notice published in Bainbridge, Ind , newspaper) His wife died in 1853. After several years in Knox County, they settled near Bainbridge, Putnam County, Indiana, where he died Feb. 2, 1860. (Obituary notice published in Bainbridge, Ind, newspaper) They had 7 children. (Records of Mrs. C.C. Collins, Roachdale, Ind. , a descendant)
George, son of Boston, was born about 1785 in North Carolina, (1850 Knox County, Tenn . census) and married Ann Rutherford, born about 1791 in Virginia. They had no children. (Records of Roy Stockwell)
Henry Graves was born May 21, 1788, (The dates on Henry Graves and his family were copied from a Bible record on file at the D.A.R. Library, Washington, D.C.

General Notes:

WILLIAM AND CATHARINE GRAVES SHARP of Claiborn e County, Tennessee

The Annals of Southwest Virginia by Lewis Preston Summers, page 932, contain a record o f the sale of 299 acres of land located in Clover Bottom, on Sinking Creek, Montgomery County , for 200 pounds, on July 3, 1798, by William Sharp and Cautherana (Catherine), his wife, t o John Bowen. Upon examination of the records at Christiansburg, Virginia, the writer found t hat this property was surveyed May 19, 1789, and joined land of John Lucas (?). This deed o f bargain and sale was acknowledged in the July Court 1798, "The said wife being first privil y examined as the Law directs, and ordered to be recorded."
The name of William Sharp first appeared on the personal tax records of Montgomery Coun ty, Va., in 1790, he having made a return on June 27, 1790, on 5 horses. In 1791, he was taxe d on 184 acres of land (Montgomery County, Va. Land Book, State Library, Richmond, Va.) and h is name appeared on the personal tax records through 1795, when he was taxed on 6 horses.
Judging from the birth dates and birth places of his children, it was after the sale o f his Virginia property in 1798 that William Sharp moved with his family to Claiborne County , Tenn., where he remained until his death in 1840.
By deed dated May 11, 1803, William Sharp purchased from Francis Mayberry a tract of la nd in Powells Valley joining end of lot A of Henderson and Company.(Claiborne County, Tenn. D eed Book A, p. 80) In 1809 he was granted 100 acres of land by the State of Tennessee-No. 68 2 (Claiborne County, Tenn. Deed Book D, P. 169) as follows: "Know ye that in consideration o f an entry made in the office of the surveyor of the 5th district No. 320 dated Oct. 11, 180 9 and founded on certificate No. 53 there is granted by the State unto William Sharp 100 acre s lying in the county of Claiborne in the District of Hamilton including the place where sai d William now lives beginning at the Mayberry line..."
Signed: Willie Blount

From records belonging to descendants of William and Catherine Sharp, it has been learne d that William's wife was Catherine Graves, and that she was a daughter of Boston and Sarah E fland Graves. Among Boston's pension papers there was a list of his children, and one of hi s daughters was Catherine Sharp. It is likely that William and Catherine were married in Mont gomery County about the date of survey of his property in that county--May 1789--as their old est child, Sarah, was born in Virginia in 1790.
According to the records of Roy Stockwell, a descendant of the Graves and Sharps, Willi am Sharp was a nephew of Henry Sharp, who married Barbara Graves, sister of Boston, and he ha d brothers named John, George, and Aaron. The 1830 census for Claiborne County lists Willia m Sharp, Sr., age between 60-70 (born between 1760-70) and his wife, between 50-60 (b.1770-17 80). Also appearing in the same census was a George Sharp, Sr., between 70-80. Could he hav e been the George who was in Montgomery County with Henry, John and William Sharp, and whos e wife was named Elizabeth? And was perhaps William's brother?

• Census: 1830, Claiborne County, Tennessee.

Catherine married William Sharp [931] [MRIN: 540], son of John George Sharp [21372] and Anna Marie Loy [21373], in 1789 in Virginia. William was born in 1760 in Virginia and died on 11 Mar 1840 in Claiborne County, Tennessee at age 80.

General Notes: William Sharp, Sr., died between Mar. 11, 1840, the date of his will, and Mar. 20, 1840 , when there was a sale of his personal property. (Records of Mrs. Mildred Warren, Smachover , Arkansas, great granddaughter of John G. Sharp.) Attending this sale were William Sharp, Ch ristian Sharp, Henry Sharp, John Parker, and Isaac Sharp. In his will, William bequeathed t o his wife Catherine...and "Whereas I have previously entered to my sons Henry and William Sh arp a portion of my land I wish them to remain where now they are..I nominate and appoint Bos ton Graves and Christian Sharp my executors." Boston Graves was his son in law.

The writer has no knowledge as to the original grantees to tracts of land on the head waters of Little Flat Creek. Most of them had served in the Continental Armies of North Carolina or Virginia during the Revolutionary War. Daniel Graves and his father Boston (Sebastian ) Graves (Graff) were in the area May 23, 1797. It is believed they came to Tennessee from Montgomery County, Virginia. They had earlier lived in Orange County, North Carolina. Since this recorder (Scharmal Veronica Triesch Conley) is a descendant of both Daniel and Boston Graves much of this compilation will relate to them and their descendants. On May 23, 1797, Daniel Graves bought 200 acres of land from John Beard. The land was located in the head waters area of Little Flat Creek, first known as Gravesville and later Graveston. The land is recorded in Book C-1, pg. 131, Knox County, Tennessee.

McKinney Chancellor Geo. A. Gibbs, Clerk & Master The Clerk and Master of the Chancery Court of Obion County Union City, Tenn.

Clinton, E. Te. Friday, March 20th, 1846

Dear Uncle; Your letter of Jan'y 16th reached me in the full tumult of business which marks the close of legislative session. An illness which seized me immediately after adjournment and detained me three weeks in the vicinity of Nashville, also obliterated from my memory the fact of your having requested of me an immediate reply to yours, or at least a note acknowledging its receipt. When I reached home two weeks since and read your letter again, I thought it would occasion but little more delay to obtain the information you desired before I should write. I owe you this apology for not not having written you promptly on the receipt of yours as you requested.

I returned last night from a tour among our relatives. I obtained from Daniel Gibbs, in Knox County a German manuscript in pamphlet form containing in your father's handwriting a record of his own birth, birthplace, etc. and of the births of his children. It also contains a record of the birth of a 'Mary Gibbs' in 1745, who may have been his sister, as Aunt Snodderly and Uncle Daniel Gibbs both remember hearing his speak of having two sisters, Mary and Catherine; or she may have been his wife, as I believe your mother's name was Mary. His own name appears written in the manuscript several times, one or twice in English characters. The date of his birth is '29th of September, 1733. The place, as made out by my German translator (not a very efficient one, by the way) was the village of Wallruth in the town of Krumbach; and these are in the Dutchy of Baden, my translator informs me, who is himself from Baden. Part of the manuscript is illegible, but might be revived by chemical process. I shall either transmit it to you by mail along with this letter; or if I shall visit Nashville soon, as I expect, I may take it with me and endeavor to find some more certain method for its transmission. I would suggest to you to have it read by someone completely master of the German language. It is the only manuscript left of your father's papers which would be of any service to you. The greater portion of his papers passed into the possession of my father, John Gibbs; and my grandmother, (yet living) remembers of their having been destroyed and gradually scattered.

I can hear nothing of his Bible.

The preceding answers your first inquiry -- and last also.

The name of your Grandfather (your second inquiry) was Nicholas. Daniel Gibbs remembers of hearing him frequently saying of hearing your father say, -- I mean -- that he was named after his father; though your father's name appears once written in the German manuscript as John Nicholas Gibbs. Your father spoke often as having been reared on the river Rhine, and of coming away clandestinely at the age of fourteen on account of being offended in some way at his father.

I learn, in reply to your third inquiry, that yAour father had two brothers; one named Abraham, who lived in Fredericktown, Maryland, and whose descendants are now residents of Baltimore and with whom I believe you are acquainted; the other named Peter who is said to have died in Germany, perhaps prior to the departure of your father. I have already mentioned that the latter spoke of having two sisters also -- Catherine and Mary. Mr. Thomas Miller, of Knoxville, informs me that his brother residing in Baltimore, married a daughter of Abraham Gibbs and that Mrs. Miller has in her possession her father's Bible. Perhaps you could derive from it some information that would be of service to you.

In relation to forewarding the manuscript to you, will it not be better for me to retain it here at present, if any process of authentication be necessary? This idea occurs to me at the moment and I believe I shall keep it until I hear from you again. Your Aunts Graves and Sharp (sisters to your mother) to whom you refer me for information, are both dead.

I gleaned many little incidents in the history of our family from conversations with the other members of it; but none I now think of could, I imagine, avail you anything. I will take great pleasure in furnishing you any additional information you may desire and I can obtain.

I regret your inability to visit Nashville during our long unprofitable session there. I certainly expected you until I received your letter. I also hoped to have seen you and inquired for you at the Memphis Convention. lf convenient, please remember me kindly to Mr, Bullock, your able and intelligent Representative in the last Legislature. Be kind enough to write me immediately if you please. Will you or your son go to Germany? Nothing but a lack of means deters me from visiting you and crossing the Atlantic with you -- not so much the prospect of pecuniary advantage as through a desire to look on the land from whence my fathers came.
Believe me most affectionately yours,

Wm. G. McAd00

MRS. MAHALA P. GRAVES NINETY-FIVE YEARS OLD
This Grand Old Pioneer Will celebrate Her Ninety-fifth Anniversary Tuesday, September 24th

From Friday's Daily
One of the grand old ladies in Cass county is Mrs. Mahala P. GRAVES, or as she is more affectionately known to hundreds through this section of Cass county , "Grandma"
Graves . This worthy lady will, on September 24th, celebrate her ninety-fifth birthday, and although almost touching the century mark, she is still bright and keen in her mind as one fifty years of age. A few weeks ago, she had the misfortune to fall at her home and fracture her wrist, which laid her up for some time, but she has practically recovered from this and with the care of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. BURNETT, is now feeling in her accustomed good health.
Mrs. Graves has lived to be the head of five generations and this honor is one that comes to but few in a lifetime, and of her twelve children, seven are living; forty-seven grandchildren, forty living; thirty-eight great grandchildren, thirty-six living, and three great-great grandchildren, two of whom are living.
Mrs. Graves was born at Knoxville, Knox county , Tennessee on September 24, 1820. She made her home in that section until 1853, and was married in that county to William W. Graves on October 2, 1837, who had been born and reared in that same locality, being born there July 19, 1818. In 1853, the husband and wife, with their little family, decided that greater opportunities awaited them in the west, and accordingly moved to mills county Iowa , and pre-empted a quarter section of land three miles east of Glenwood , but after a few years decided to come to Nebraska , and in 1864, arrived at Rock Bluffs , then a flourishing little city, and located there, where they have resided since that time and where the husband and father passed away to the Better Land on October 6, 1895.
The lifetime of Mrs. Graves embraces a wonderful change in the life of the nation and of the west, where she has for so many years made her home. Since her arrival at an age of the appreciation of things she has lived to see three wars, the Mexican, the great conflict between the states of the union, and the Spanish -American war; twenty-three presidents have presided over the destinies of the nation since her birth. She has seen in the evolution of time the oxcart displaced by the giant locomotives of the present day, the wagon and carriage passed by the automobile, and now the air craft, the possibility of which would have seemed impossible in the days of her girlhood. She has eaten her food prepared in the old-fashioned fireplace from a fire made with flint and steel and lived to see electricity serve as the means of cooking. She has lived to see rulers and countries change in the melting pot of time, and still hopes to be spared to see other of the great wonders that the twentieth century will bring with it.
The children of this grand woman are as follows: Mrs. Harriet MILLER , Glenwood , Ia.; Alexander H. GRAVES, Murray , Neb.' Calvin M. GRAVES, Wapeto, Wash.; Oriana J. Graves, who died in mills county , Iowa , in 1865; Elbert Lawson Graves , North Yakima, Wash.; Andrew J. GRAVES, attorney at law, who died at Plattsmouth, Neb., in 1906; Julian D. GRAVES, Peru, Neb.; Alvin Shered Graves , New York City; Mrs. Ellen O. LACEY, who died at Omaha in 1900; Charles L. GRAVES, Union, Neb.; Mrs. Mary BURNETT , Rock Bluffs, who is caring for her mother at present.

She died of Pluro Pneumonia and face cancer. The informant on the death certificate is J. D. Graves.

DEATH OF AN AGED CASS COUNTY LADY

From Thursday's daily. - Last evening at the home of J.D. Graves, at Peru, Nebraska, occurred the death of Mrs. Mahala P. Graves or "Grandma" Graves, as she was better known to the old neighbors and friends in Cass County. This venerable lady whose years of life lacked but two brief years of a full century, is one of the last of the pioneers who assisted in making this community what it is today, as she with her husband came here at a very early day and by hard work and perseverance made a home for the family along the bluffs of the mighty Missouri near the old town of Rock Bluffs, and the old homestead still stands as a monument to the worthy pioneer couple the last of whom has now answered the summons of the Master to her last long rest.
In the past few years Mrs. Graves has been failing in health and has made her home with her son, J.D. Graves at Peru, and just a short time ago enjoyed the privilege of having the children gather with her in what destined to be the last reunion of the family upon earth.
Mrs Mahala P. Graves was born in Knox County, East Tennessee, September 24, 1821, and was married in that state to William W. Graves on October 2, 1837. Mr. and Mrs. Graves removed from Tennessee to Iowa in 1852, pre-empting a quarter section of land three miles east of Glenwood. Here the family resided until 1864, when they moved to the new state of Nebraska, and settled near the then flourishing town of Rock Bluffs. Here they saw the community in which they lived pass from a flourishing community of several hundred population to a mere collection of empty stores, as monuments of past granduer; the country which at the time of their coming was but scarcely known aside from the few settlements along the river grow into one of the greatest agricultural empires of the world. It was given this venerable lady to see three times the nation take up the gage of battle and two of these conflicts were the greatest that the world has ever known, the great strive of state against nation and of the greatest republic of the world against the greatest empire of the world.
It is wonderful to contemplate the changes that this worthy lady has seen develop during her years of life and fitting that as the peace long prayed for came to the world her spirit should pass on giving her the peace and calm that comes at the close of her life. The Grave s family resided at Rock Bluffs up until a few years ago and there on October 6, 1895, the husband and father was called home to rest. Since the death of the husband, Mrs Graves has resided with the children. Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Graves as follows: A.J. Graves. deceased; J.D. Graves, Peru, Neb., Mrs Harriett Miller, Glenwood, Ia., A.N. Graves, Murra y, Neb., C.M. Graves and E.L. Graves, North Yakima, Washington, Mary E. Burnett, Rock Bluffs ; A.S. Graves, Brooklyn, N.Y., Charles L. Graves, Union, Nebraska, Mrs. Ellen O. Lacy, Omaha , deceased, one child died in infancy and Orlena Graves died in Cass County in 1865, aged 19 years. Funeral announcement of this venerable pioneer will be made later.

Plattsmouth Journal, Monday August 23, 1915

MRS. MAHALA P. GRAVES NINETY-FIVE YEARS OLD
This Grand Old Pioneer Will celebrate Her Ninety-fifth Anniversary Tuesday, September 24th

From Friday's Daily
One of the grand old ladies in Cass county is Mrs. Mahala P. GRAVES, or as she is more affectionately known to hundreds through this section of Cass county , "Grandma"
Graves . This worthy lady will, on September 24th, celebrate her ninety-fifth birthday, and although almost touching the century mark, she is still bright and keen in her mind as one fifty years of age. A few weeks ago, she had the misfortune to fall at her home and fracture her wrist, which laid her up for some time, but she has practically recovered from this and with the care of her daughter, Mrs. Mary E. BURNETT, is now feeling in her accustomed good health.
Mrs. Graves has lived to be the head of five generations and this honor is one that comes to but few in a lifetime, and of her twelve children, seven are living; forty-seven grandchildren, forty living; thirty-eight great grandchildren, thirty-six living, and three great-great grandchildren, two of whom are living.
Mrs. Graves was born at Knoxville, Knox county , Tennessee on September 24, 1820. She made her home in that section until 1853, and was married in that county to William W. Graves on October 2, 1837, who had been born and reared in that same locality, being born there July 19, 1818. In 1853, the husband and wife, with their little family, decided that greater opportunities awaited them in the west, and accordingly moved to mills county Iowa , and pre-empted a quarter section of land three miles east of Glenwood , but after a few years decided to come to Nebraska , and in 1864, arrived at Rock Bluffs , then a flourishing little city, and located there, where they have resided since that time and where the husband and father passed away to the Better Land on October 6, 1895.
The lifetime of Mrs. Graves embraces a wonderful change in the life of the nation and of the west, where she has for so many years made her home. Since her arrival at an age of the appreciation of things she has lived to see three wars, the Mexican, the great conflict between the states of the union, and the Spanish -American war; twenty-three presidents have presided over the destinies of the nation since her birth. She has seen in the evolution of time the oxcart displaced by the giant locomotives of the present day, the wagon and carriage passed by the automobile, and now the air craft, the possibility of which would have seemed impossible in the days of her girlhood. She has eaten her food prepared in the old-fashioned fireplace from a fire made with flint and steel and lived to see electricity serve as the means of cooking. She has lived to see rulers and countries change in the melting pot of time, and still hopes to be spared to see other of the great wonders that the twentieth century will bring with it.
The children of this grand woman are as follows: Mrs. Harriet MILLER , Glenwood , Ia.; Alexander H. GRAVES, Murray , Neb.' Calvin M. GRAVES, Wapeto, Wash.; Oriana J. Graves, who died in mills county , Iowa , in 1865; Elbert Lawson Graves , North Yakima, Wash.; Andrew J. GRAVES, attorney at law, who died at Plattsmouth, Neb., in 1906; Julian D. GRAVES, Peru, Neb.; Alvin Shered Graves , New York City; Mrs. Ellen O. LACEY, who died at Omaha in 1900; Charles L. GRAVES, Union, Neb.; Mrs. Mary BURNETT , Rock Bluffs, who is caring for her mother at present.

She died of Pluro Pneumonia and face cancer. The informant on the death certificate is J. D. Graves.

DEATH OF AN AGED CASS COUNTY LADY

From Thursday's daily. - Last evening at the home of J.D. Graves, at Peru, Nebraska, occurred the death of Mrs. Mahala P. Graves or "Grandma" Graves, as she was better known to the old neighbors and friends in Cass County. This venerable lady whose years of life lacked but two brief years of a full century, is one of the last of the pioneers who assisted in making this community what it is today, as she with her husband came here at a very early day and by hard work and perseverance made a home for the family along the bluffs of the mighty Missouri near the old town of Rock Bluffs, and the old homestead still stands as a monument to the worthy pioneer couple the last of whom has now answered the summons of the Master to her last long rest.
In the past few years Mrs. Graves has been failing in health and has made her home with her son, J.D. Graves at Peru, and just a short time ago enjoyed the privilege of having the children gather with her in what destined to be the last reunion of the family upon earth.
Mrs Mahala P. Graves was born in Knox County, East Tennessee, September 24, 1821, and was married in that state to William W. Graves on October 2, 1837. Mr. and Mrs. Graves removed from Tennessee to Iowa in 1852, pre-empting a quarter section of land three miles east of Glenwood. Here the family resided until 1864, when they moved to the new state of Nebraska, and settled near the then flourishing town of Rock Bluffs. Here they saw the community in which they lived pass from a flourishing community of several hundred population to a mere collection of empty stores, as monuments of past granduer; the country which at the time of their coming was but scarcely known aside from the few settlements along the river grow into one of the greatest agricultural empires of the world. It was given this venerable lady to see three times the nation take up the gage of battle and two of these conflicts were the greatest that the world has ever known, the great strive of state against nation and of the greatest republic of the world against the greatest empire of the world.
It is wonderful to contemplate the changes that this worthy lady has seen develop during her years of life and fitting that as the peace long prayed for came to the world her spirit should pass on giving her the peace and calm that comes at the close of her life. The Grave s family resided at Rock Bluffs up until a few years ago and there on October 6, 1895, the husband and father was called home to rest. Since the death of the husband, Mrs Graves has resided with the children. Twelve children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Graves as follows: A.J. Graves. deceased; J.D. Graves, Peru, Neb., Mrs Harriett Miller, Glenwood, Ia., A.N. Graves, Murra y, Neb., C.M. Graves and E.L. Graves, North Yakima, Washington, Mary E. Burnett, Rock Bluffs ; A.S. Graves, Brooklyn, N.Y., Charles L. Graves, Union, Nebraska, Mrs. Ellen O. Lacy, Omaha , deceased, one child died in infancy and Orlena Graves died in Cass County in 1865, aged 19 years. Funeral announcement of this venerable pioneer will be made later.
