So I checked out my husbands family tree and his great grandfather married a Ellen or Elenor Graves. His great grandfathers name was James Tate and was born in 1817 and died in 1885. I tried to find this woman then with no luck. Another thing....my husbands brother married a GRAVES from Tellico and Monroe County. I will try to find out her parents names...he can't remember what they were as they were always addressed and Mr. Graves and Mrs. Graves. I will see what I can come up with. One of these Graves families may be connected with yours. You sure never know, do you? Patti
