The TN civil war veterans questionnaire of William Alexander Wilkins, he states for answer to question number 44 concerning ancestry: George Washington Graves and Charlotte Rains Graves were born, raised, and married near Charlotte, NC. moved to Giles Co (TN) and then to Decatur Co (TN). I have no idea as to parentage for Charlotte. George and Charlotte are in Perry (Decatur) Co by 1830. The widow of Anthony Rains and his children of Randolph Co, NC are in Perry co by 1840. Charlotte and George name a son Balaam - a name used by Anthony Rains for a son, BUT Charlotte is not named in Pension app of Anthony's widow ! I have not been able to put George with a Graves family either ! Anyone have a Charlotte born 1785 in NC that went missing ?
