I am seeking the ancestors/family of a Maria Philopena GRAVES who married Isaac SHARP about 1765. Most (if not all) of their children were born in Orange Co, NC. According to PA church records Maria was born 15 Aug 1751 to Johannes & Maria Magdelen. The sponsors at her baptism were Jacob GRAEFF and wife Maria Phillipina. There were a number of Johannes (John) GRAFF's (etc) that were in PA and later were in Orange Co, NC. One source says Maria's father was Johannes Sebastian Graff. Another says the father was John Michael Graves. Any information would be helpful. Thank You.
