Notes

From Page 129 of “The Majors and Their Marriages” By James Branch Cabell. “Stephens of James City”

Prior to 1656 Ralph Graves, Senior, of York county, had married Rachel Croshaw, by whom he had issue, Anne, Ralph, William and Mary Graves. Ralph Graves, Senior, died in 1667, and his widow married Richard Barnes, who was duly named guardian to William Graves. The boy's mother died in 1669, and his stepfather Richard Barnes married, second, as previously recorded, the widow of Jarrett Hawthorne. After the death of Richard Barnes his widow married, as likewise has been recorded, Captain William Hartwell; so that Hartwell naturally succeeded to the guardianship; and William Graves was duly entrusted to the keeping of the third husband of the second wife of his mother's second husband.
