Notes

From https://www.gravesfa.org/gen123.htm

Some time after July 1662, when Edward Stevenson was still alive, but before 31 Dec. 1670, William Graves married, third, a wife named Ann who was then the widow (according to Mr. John Insley Coddington) of Edward Stevenson of Newtown. On the latter date she made a will [Coll. of N.Y. Hist. Soc., Wills, 1:467], styling herself as Ann Graves, wife of William Graves of Newtown, but this will, which mentions daughters Elizabeth Everit and Abigail Denton and cousin Thomas Stevenson, and was witnessed by Abraham Frost and John Pettit, was not allowed
