I thought Rice Graves also had some some sort of position in the Civil War. I do know that Felix Roberts married Lucy Mariah Walker in 1854 in Daviess Co., and they had a son Rice Graves Roberts born in 1867 (who died in Henderson Co., KY in 1933) and their son Jefferson Davis Roberts who married Ella Pool had a son named Rice Roberts in 1894. I don't know if their was any relation (don't think it was on the Roberts side).

Rice Evan Graves Jr 1838-1863 served as an artillery officer under John Breckinridge. He held the rank of Major when he was killed at Chickamauga. He was not married but he had 6 brothers .I don't have all of their children but at least one brother, Richeson Brown Graves, m. Julia Hardin in 1877 and their son Rice E Graves m. Ona Chapman in 1906. Rice was one of those old Virginia family surnames and could be a traditional "given" name in other families besides the Graves.
