Hi Joe, This is in response to your query. Perhaps others have additional info. John C. Graves was I believe the son of George Washington Graves. My ancestor is a sister to John C. Renea I am searching for a John C. GRAVES, born abt. 1821 in North Carolina. He is listed on the 1850, 1860, and 1870 Decatur Co., TN censuses. He had several children: (1)Harriet E. born abt. 1847 (2)Saphronia C. born abt. 1848 married James THOMPSON on Jan. 20, 1879 in Perry Co., TN (3)Rufus L. born abt. 1851 (4)Frances M. born abt. 1856 (5)Matha T. born abt. 1860 (6)George W. born abt. 1863 (7)Nancy born abt. 1866 (8)Margaret A. born Nov. 1869. If you have any information on these families, I would like to talk with you. Thank you.
