My 2007 Jefferson County genealogy wish would be to confirm the parents of Olive Graves. According to the 1850-1870 Censuses and cemetery transcription, her birth 1811-1813 and in New York. Most likely 1812. By 1850 she is married to Stillman Whittier and in Depauville, Clayton, New York. Probably marrying by 1830. The most likely tie parent, is David Graves (b. 25 Jun 1773). Watertown Genealogy Library had a Graves family group, listed as the Graves family of Clayton. 1840 Census appears to be this David in Orleans, Jefferson Co. David dies before 1850, and the family seems to have left by the 1850 census. David came from Vermont and may have had two wives. This family group includes: Lucinda b. 1802; Polly b. 1804; Hiram b. 1807; David b. 1809 (m. Orilla Judith Horr); Judith b. 1811; Olive b. 1813; Belinda b. 1815 m. G. Washington Vincent; Joseph b. 1817; Sylvia b. 1819; Jacob b. 1821; Lorias b. 1823; Wm. b. 1826; Annis b. 1829; John b. 1832. David jr was apparently born in Vermont. Can anyone confirm or disprove whether Olive daughter of David is the Olive wife of Stillman? Thanks Teresa (tbc8 at cornell.edu)
