HISTORY OF FAYETTE COUNTY, KENTUCKY, by Robert Peter, ed. by William H.
Perrin, O. L. Baskin Co., Chicago, 1882.  Reprinted by Southern Historical
Press, Easley, SC, 1979. Page 763.

JACOB H. GRAVES, farmer, P. O. Chilesburg, is of ancestry, both
paternally and maternally, dating back to the early history of the county
of which he is a native, and has been a resident since his birth.

He is the only surviving son of R. B. and Jane (Hughes) Graves, of whom 
more particular mention will be found elsewhere in these pages.

Brought up on a farm, and his father being an extensive cattle-raiser, he 
had the best of chances for obtaining that practical knowledge of breeding
and fattening indispensable to the successful stockman.

Familiar from his youth with fine and valuable stock, he naturally acquired
a taste for the breeding of superior stock, in which occupation his early 
acquired knowledge and later experience have made him a master.

He has paid particular attention to Short-Horn cattle and Cotswold sheep,
which animals he breeds and fattens carefully, and with full regard to wool
production.

His farm consists of 1,470 acres of first-rate land, but it is neither too
large nor too good for the proper maintenance and preparation for market of
the stock raised upon it.

On its rich pastures and from its closely cultivated fields are fattened 
yearly 150 beeves of prime quality and condition.

Mr. Graves is a married man, his wife being Jennie, daughter of William 
and Sarah (Ferguson) McKenny, who, also, is descended from one of the 
first families of the State and county.
