    Notes:

    William Graves of Pigg River 1724-1809

    William Graves first appears in public records when he leased 500 acres of land on the Pigg River, Pittsylvania Co., VA on 4 January 1773. At that time he was referred to as "William Graves of Caroline Co., VA" as he was new to the area. On 9 February 1773, William purchased 100 acres of land (most likely) adjacent to the leased acreage. (Pittsylvania Co. Deed Bk. 3, p. 247). Witnesses to these transactions were Peyton Smith, Susannah Daniel, Thomas Potter, William Daniel, Jr., William Graves and James Daniel.

    In 1776 this area became a part of newly formed Henry County.

    On 13 September 1777, a list of persons renouncing allegiance to Great Britain and swearing allegiance to the Commonwealth of Virginia included William Graves, Senr.......53, David Graves....20, William Graves....22. (The numbers following the names appear to be their age at the time).

    On 22 November 1777, William Graves purchased the 500 acres that he had previously leased. This tranaction was duly recorded in Henry Co., VA.

    On 18 April 1778, William Graves, Sr. sold the 100 acres now located in Henry Co. to William Graves., Jr., our Fourth Great-grandfather.

    William Graves, Sr. and his son, William Graves are both listed on the Henry Co., VA Tax Lists. William Graves, Sr. was appointed to assess property in the district under the command of Frederick Reeves in 1778 and return an amount according to law. In 1778, the only Graves on the Tax Assessor list in Henry Co. was William Graves and William Graves, Jr.

    In 1779, the Tax List of Henry noted the following Graves: William Graves, Sr., William Graves Jr. and David Graves. (It is likely that this David Graves was also a son of William Graves, Sr).

    William Graves became a resident of Franklin Co., VA in 1785 when that county was formed from the northern half of Henry Co.. part of Bedford Co and part of Patrick Co. He was still living on his 500 acres on the Pigg River.

    William Graves, Sr. died intestate in 1809 in Franklin Co., VA. On 4 Dec 1809, John Graves (most likely his son) and Peyton Graves (another son most likely) gave bond for the Letters of Administration of the personal estate of William Graves, deceased.
