Notes

"There were a couple of articles in the Graves Family Newsletter discussing the question of whether Francis Graves was a son of Capt. Thomas Graves of VA, or perhaps a son of a mysterious Richard Graves, and whether the child of Capt. Thomas Graves was actually a daughter, Frances Graves. The articles were on p. 23, 1995 GFNL, and pp.104-106, 1995 GFNL. The p. 23 article proposing that the child was a daughter is in next section. Following that is the analysis showing that Francis Graves was in fact a son of Capt. Thomas Graves.........

Mrs. Mason Jones, Box 37, Gladwyne, PA 19035, has a rather startling hypothesis which I have never heard before. She believes that "Fra: Graves, Orphant of Captain Tho: Graves deceased" was not a son but a daughter.

"I think she was born after her sister Ann sometime in late 1621. The land of Thomas Graves that she received the certificate for in 1642 at age 21 (as I understand she had to be to do this) was later granted to George Truitt (?) in right of his wife. A patent to Wellinge (?) in 1663 for this same land describes it as formerly granted unto Frances Trewitt (?)."

"There was other land belonging to Frances Graves which Henry Peddington, as her guardian or attorney or even perhaps as her father-in-law, acknowledged receipt for the sale of in 1638 at a session of court in 1639. I have copies of all these original records and put much trust in land records to establish descent."

I have copies of all these original records and put much trust in land records to establish descent."

The records of both VA and MD are currently being searched to find some record of Francis Graves during the years between 1642 and 1672. Mr. Sweeney stated "He may have removed to Elizabeth City County, where, as we have seen, his father and his brother, John, received patents for land, but owing to the loss of the greater part of the records of that county, nothing definite can be ascertained." (15W[2]390). The writer has not yet despaired of finding such record. The lack of such record does strengthen the argument that the Francis Graves of 24 above was female, and that her absence from the record resulted from her marriage to George Trewett, so that the male Francis Graves of 36 above was not the female Francis Graves of 25 above as hypothesized by Mrs. Jones. However, the totality of the evidence presented herein supports Francis Graves as the youngest son of Capt. Thomas Graves. The evidence supporting Francis Graves as son far overshadows this one item of evidence [or lack thereof] supporting the daughter hypothesis."
