Anything more you can tell us would be helpful. There's not much to go on. When did he die? Would he and his wife and kids have been in the 1920 or 1930 census? Did they live down south in 1900, 1910, 1920, 1930? Did you try to find his obituary? Is there any information available from your mother? Did your cousins have any information on their Grandparents or any old bible records or anything? I'm not finding anything in the Social Security Death index for an Arthur Graves who died in Mississippi. Anything you can add would help us to help you. Regards, --Wyatt R.

Does anyone know what the connection is, if any? I'm having a heck of a time finding anything on my grandfather. My father and all his siblings are gone now, with very few cousins scattered about. I'd appreciate any help anyone might be able to give me if you know of a connection to any Graves. All I can say for certain is he lived in Greenville, Mississippi when he died and was married to Amanda Willie Ann Stroud. They had four children - Letha Mae, Willie Cleon (my father), Alfred Arthur and Virginia (and I believe her middle name was Maude, but am not positive). > > Important Note: > The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
