Sarah Graves

William Graves (1) was probably born about 1615-20 in England, assuming he was about the same age as his wife. He died in the summer of 1679 in Newtown, Long Island, NY (may have been part of CT at that time).

He married Sarah Dibble, widow of John Dibble, on 7 Nov. 1647 in Stamford, CT. This is the first known record of William's presence in America. Sarah was born in 1618, and died 13 Sept. 1656 in Stamford, CT.

John Dibble was probably a son of immigrant Robert Dibble or Deeble of Dorchester, MA.

This may have been a second marriage for William Graves.

• 6. Deliverance Graves, m. Josiah Hallett, by New York license dated 3 July 1677. We have no evidence that she was William Graves' daughter and she is not mentioned in his will, but she could have been his daughter if she died very shortly after marriage.

——

• John. According to Lamb, John Dible died in September 1646. His wife married (2) William Graves of Stamford, Connecticut on October 7, 1647. It must be remembered that in 1647 the town limits of Springfield and Windsor met at Warehouse Point. In 1646 the widow Deeble was granted a house lot on the Street, Springfield so Lamb believed that John died in Springfield.

Savage’s entry for John: (34) John [Dibble], Springfield 1641, had (perhaps bef. going thither) Abraham, and Samuel; and after, Zachary, b. 4 Apr. 1644; Elizabeth 17, bapt. 18 Jan. 1646; and Sarah (posthum.) 21 Mar. 1647. He d. Sept. 1646, and his wid. m. Nov. 1647, William Graves of Stamford.
