Part II - Henry Lamb
Family Group "A"
Thomas Lamb, son of Henry Lamb, was born about 1721, in Nancemond Monthly Meeting, Virginia. A shopkeeper, a miller and farmer, he was married 5 September 1746, in Perquimans County, North Carolina, to Sarah Moore, born 1721, daughter of Robert Moore and Hannah Mainwaring. (See: Mainwaring Family, Part V)
In some records, Sarah is listed as daughter of John Moore and Mary Ratliff. That is doubtful. Since Thomas�s oldest child appears to have been born before Thomas was married, this also needs to be proved, to be sure Sarah is his mother. This may involve the difference in Quaker dating.
On 6 August 1755, Thomas Lamb was recommended to meeting of ministers and elders, a sign that he exhibited noticeable and acceptable ministerial qualities.
In 1757, he applied for permission to make a move, but he had to clear up a few things before permission was granted. On 10 September 1760, he sold his Perquimans land, and joined his father in the move to Rowan County, in 1760. He died 7 February 1833. Sarah died 15 April 1791, in Caesars Creek, Clinton, Ohio.

He is found however in a petition to delay the enactment of the Land Law during the War with US and England and afterwards. It was signed by Aaron Lamb, Adam Lamb, Alexander Lamb, Thomas Beeson, John Graves, and Latham Graves. This shows definitely that John Graves lived in these areas.
He may have died in Marshall County, Alabama, although according to probate court records he died in DeKalb County, in 1853, and tradition has it that he was buried in the Hill Cemetery there.

Hiram Graves, son of Elizabeth (Betty) Beeson and John Graves, was born 1802, in Randolph County, North Carolina.

He was married 7 December 1824, in Blount County, Alabama, to Judy (or Juda) Brown, who was born in 1806 in Virginia. (Marriage Records, vol. A). Aubrey Graves believed that Judy was possibly a daughter of William Brown. However, Velvo Chaney (R-14) stated that an Orphans Court record of 1830, Blount County, Alabama, proves that Judy and her sister Cary Brown (who married A. Jackson Chaney) were the children of Joshua Brown, deceased.
Hiram Graves was appointed guardian of the minor Brown children; Cary Brown and Walker Brown were under 14 years of age, and Patsy and David Brown were over 14 years but under 21 years of age The 1830 census of Blount County, Alabama indicates these children were living with the Hiram Graves family.Throughout his lifetime, Hiram was a farmer, becoming a rather large landowner and slave owner for his section of the country. A number of his children continued to live in the Valley, while some of them moved to Sand Mountain. It is reported that as each of his children married, he gave them a sizable tract of land for a home. With a family as large as his, he would have had to own much land to do this.
Hiram Graves, a deacon at Mount Pleasant Baptist Church (now Providence Hill) in Wills, Virginia south of Collinsville, was a signer of the original deed for the three acres of land on which the church stands. (A member of the Graves family has a copy of the deed.)
Hiram died in 1889 in Big Willis Virginia, Dekalb County, Alabama; Judy died in 1895, both were buried in Hill Cemetery

"---- Luke drove up the creek to Miles Moon�s place on a bend of the creek, one half mile west and five miles south of the present site of Northbranch (Jewell County, Kansas). He lived in a log house. On both sides of the creek grew oak, box elder, ash and cottonwood trees, with plum, dogwood, wild gooseberries, blue currents. He stopped, unhitched his horses from the wagon, and took George by the hand. They jumped over the creek and walked to where Miles Moon stood. Luke asked "How dost thou do, stranger?"
Miles replied, "My name is Moon. I live here."
"My name is Luke Dillon and if thou dost not mind, I would like to camp here. If thou are not too busy I would like to inquire about land. Are there Quakers settled around here?"
Miles Moon extended his hand and a smile spread over his strong angular, bewhiskered face. "Art thou a Quaker?""Yes, I belong to the Friends in Warren County, Iowa."
"Yes, Yes, I thought so. I can tell a Quaker by his talk and sometimes I think by his walk. Hitch up and drive over. It is a good place to camp. I camped here when we were building our house. Thou dost not need to build a fire. Thou will eat supper with us. Isaac, our oldest son, brought in fresh venison tody and we will sample it. No excuses now, thou art a stranger in a strange land, and I will take thee in." A lifelong friendship began.
The Miles Moon family made them welcome and they stayed several days. One morning Miles commented, "There is good land between the two walnut creeks. Thou mightest find a good claim there. About 4 miles up the creek, Jobe Williams lives on East Walnut. He, too, is a Quaker. He might be able to show you some fine land."
