It was previously incorrectly stated that this Samuel Graves married Sarah Colton, daughter of George Colton of Longmeadow, MA and Lydia (Wright) Graves. However (as reported in Graves Family Newsletter, 1993, page 127), information from New England Marriages Prior to 1700 by Clarence Ammon Torrey shows that this is not correct. The Samuel Graves who married Sarah Colton was . . . (the) . . . son of Isaac Graves and Mary Church.
