+217.  John Graves, b. 19 Dec. 1737, m. Ann Rice, 30 Nov. 1760, d. 8 Dec. 1825.

Son of John Graves (104) was born in 1706 in Abingdon Parish, Gloucester Co., VA[1], was baptized 9 March 1706 in Abingdon Parish, and died between 30 March 1747 (date of his will) and 2 June 1747 (date of probate in Spotsylvania Co., VA).  He married Susannah Dicken on 22 Nov. 1732.  She was probably a daughter of Isaac Dicken.

John Graves, their 2nd son, (217) was born 19 Dec. 1737, and died 8 Dec. 1825 in Boone Co., Ky.  He married Ann Rice, daughter of William Rice and Sarah Helms of Culpeper Co., Va., on 30 Nov. 1760. 

The will of William Rice, probated 17 April 1780, gives property to his daughters, Ann and Sarah, wives of John Graves and his brother Edward.  Ann Rice was born 21 Nov. 1741, and died 12 Nov. 1826 in Boone Co., Ky. 

They moved from Culpeper Co. (now Madison Co.), Va. to Boone Co., Ky. in 1797.  Their entire family of children and grandchildren went with them or moved soon afterwards.

They went down the Ohio River in small boats and landed on the Kentucky side at North Bend opposite the place where President William Henry Harrison later made his home.  The whole country through which they went was one vast wilderness.  Cincinnati at the time was only a military post. 

John Graves was a man of tall, slender form over six feet in height, was upright in all his dealings, peaceable and polite, of strong and fervent religious character.  (R‑5, R‑39, R‑907, R‑915)

Yesterday, I contacted Ken Graves of the Graves Family Association and he says that there is no connection between the Graves/Rice/Hannah Cave line and the Graves of Frederick County, Virginia. He gave me the link to all the known genealogy of the Graves of Frederick County Virginia: http://www.gravesfa.org/gen116.htm
