Dear Vinton Group, This is part of my line of GRAVES. I did not do this research. Is this line being researched by anyone on this list? Amos Brewer was born 1768 , in North Carolina; the son of John Brewer. His mother's name is unknown. Amos married Jane GRAVES in August of 1789 and there were eleven children born of this marriage: a son, believed to be William; John; Ruth; a daughter whose name is unknown; Alexander; Mary; Margaret; Isaac; Nathan; Jane; and possibly a daughter by the name of Sarah. There is a notation from the minutes of the Quaker Cane Creek monthly meetings stating: "Minutes of 5 Sep. 1789. Jane (formerly GRAVES) disowned, married out of unity in 8th month." Amos and Jane settled in Ross County, Ohio in 1805. In 1810 they moved to Athens County, Ohio near the present site of Zaleski, Ohio. A deed in Book 5, page 393 at Athens County Court House, Ohio dated December 31, 1824 states that Amos Brewer purchased from Conner and Hannah GRAVES Dowd a parcel of land in Township 10, section 35, range 16 for fifty dollars. Hannah was Jane's sister and married a Conner Dowd who was a Revolutionary War soldier. Conner served under General Nathaniel Greene and General Franc is Marion. He fought at the Battle of Cowpens and other engagements and saw the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. His service under General Marion was filled with adventure and dating raids. Conner was 20 years older than Hannah. They were married in North Carolina in 1796 and were the parents of seven sons and three daughters.
