[Scott County]  [Georgetown City and Precinct]

HARVEY C. GRAVES, retired; P. O. Georgetown; was born in Fayette County,
Ky., Feb. 19, 1804.  The Graves family claim a French origin, and, although
the time of their arrival in America is a matter of conjecture, long before
the Revolutionary war they were residents of Virginia.  His father, John
Graves, was born in Virginia, and while quite a young man came to Kentucky
locating in what was then Fayette County.  He afterward returned to
Virginia, married, and brought his young wife to his new home in the
wilderness, and, in all the conflicts with the Indians, and the trials and
sufferings of the early settlements, he took an active part.  During the
war of 1812, he was appointed commander of a Company of militia, and, in
various ways, was an influential and valuable man in the early history of
that part of the State.  Harvey C. Graves was the fourth in a family of
seven children, and, although his father has acquired some means, and
was the owner of a fine tract of land in the best part of the State, he
grew to manhood on his father's farm without opportunities for more than
ordinary education.  He early took an active interest in public affairs,
and being a man of fine natural ability and superior judgment, he became
of great service to his county, especially in building up the various
interests of Georgetown, where his counsels have been felt throughout a
long life.  He was one of the movers in the establishment of the Georgetown
College, and not only made a donation for that purpose, but gave his
influence toward building it up, and served as one of its trustees for
several years.  He was one of the projectors of the "Farmers Bank" of
Georgetown, and has been a member of its director since its organization.
At the organization of the Warrendale Female Seminary, he was elected one
of the Board of Trustees, and has since held that position.  He has been
an extensive farmer and stock raiser of Scott County, and was for many
years the largest hemp grower in his part of the country.  In politics, he
was a member of the Whig party, and stood by the Union throughout the dark
days of the rebellion.  Lately, he has been identified with the Democratic
party.  For many years he has been an elder in the Christian Church, and
has, during his entire life, been one of the most active and valuable
men in his community, and, by an active, successful, public-spirited,
unselfish life, he has made the world better for his having lived in it.
Mr. Graves was married in1 1829, to Miss Lucinda Garth, daughter of John
Garth, of Scott County; and after her death, was married again in 1837,
to Miss Martha R. Crockett, daughter of N. Crockett, of Fayette County.
They have two children, Elenora, wife of James H. Kenney, of Georgetown;
and Isadora, wife of John W. Berkley, of Lexington.
