Doctor “Jack” Graves

Person

Born 1800, died 1875 - the oldest documented member of the Graves family, and the namesake of Graves Gap itself. “Doctor” is a real, if unusual, given name here, not a claim that he practiced medicine.

Appears in: Graves Gap Cemetery.

Notable descendants:

  • James Dewitt Graves (1826-1909), Francis Marion Graves (1840-1900), Mathias Graves (1848-1926), and DeWitt Clinton Graves (Sep 1849 - 23 Feb 1936, plausibly named for James Dewitt) - sons.
