Notities over Graves Eaves II

Graves Eaves II was the son of Graves Eaves I. He was born inNorthumberland County, VA around 1720. By 1727, his family had moved toBrunswick Co., VA..In November 1747, Graves and his brother Thomas sold their father's 100acre plantation on the north side of the Meherrin River, which they hadinherited the year before, to John Freeman for £30. Witnesses includedJames Clack and Peter Tatum. Leanna (or Eleanor), wife of Thomas, andSarah, wife of Graves, both relinquished their dower rights in this land(Brunswick County, VA DB 3-365)..Some have thought that Graves Eaves married a Nancy Yancy about 1750.Note however that his wife's name was Sarah in 1747. No proof of a Yancymarriage has been found, and the origin of this idea is unclear..Graves probably moved from Brunswick County, VA to North Carolina shortlyafter 1747, as there is no further record of him in Brunswick or innearby Virginia counties..There is no evidence that he ever lived in Granville County, NC, althoughhis son William's father-in- law, Andrew Hampton, had come to RutherfordCounty from there..Graves probably moved into the area that became Rutherford County at avery early date, and simply neglected to take out a patent on his landuntil much later. His first patent, in February 1775, was for 109 acresin Tryon County on the east side of the Second Broad River and included"Eaves's own improvement," suggesting he had been there for a while. Theland was adjacent to land of Robeson and Cathey (Patent Book 26, #9058).Tryon County was formed in 1768 from Mecklenburg County, which was formedin 1762 from Anson County..A Graves Eaves is mentioned in at least nine deeds in Rutherford County.There may have been more than one man by this name. Note that the GravesEaves born around 1720 would have been between 60 and 80 years old duringthe period covered by these deeds. So the deeds probably refer to GravesIII, his son, rather than to him ..In 1783, a Graves Eaves bought 200 acres on both sides of Puzzle Creekfrom Thomas Roberson (DB A-D, p.107). In 1785, he sold 109 acres "nearRoberson" to Abel Lewis, with Burrell Eaves and Thomas Davis as witnesses(DB A-D, p.472)..In 1787, he was granted 100 acres on Puzzle Creek, "beginning at his owncorner" (DB M-Q, p.265)..In 1792, he sold 75 acres of the land he had purchased in 1783 to DavisEaves, "adjoining Thomas Davis and Bartlett Eaves" (DB 12-14, p.213)..In 1795, he was granted 100 acres "on his own spring branch" (DB M-Q,p.501)..In 1798, he sold another 75 acres of the 1783 purchase to William Baxter,"adjoining Davis Eaves" (DB 12-14, p.295)..In 1799, Thomas Bryant sold ten acres to Davis Eaves, "on Puzzle Creek...beginning on Burrell Eaves line, to Graves Eaves line...." (DB 15-17,p.77). Later in 1799, Graves sold 100 acres on his spring branch toSterling Price. Witnesses were Davis and Thomas Eaves, and Abel Lewis(DB 20-21, p.74)..A Graves Eaves was on the 1800 census in Rutherford County, but was notthere in 1810. Presumably Graves II died before 1810, and probablydecades earlier..A deed made in 1817 mentions "Graves Eaves' corner" (DB 32, p.14) butthis does not necessarily imply that a Graves was living at that time, assuch language was often copied from earlier deeds..No estate records have been found, and the names of Graves' children havebeen the subject of much speculation. That Bartlett Eaves was a son ofGraves is said to be proven by a Rutherford County court document dated1785 which states that Graves Eaves went to court to prove that his sonBartley was under the age of 21 and therefore his tax money should bereturned to him (Notes from the Eaves Family National Reunion, 1980)..That William and Burrell Eaves were brothers of Bartlett is proven by aletter written in 1893 by William's grandson, Noah Hampton Eaves. Hestates that William "had two brothers, Bartlett and Burrell, one sisterwho died from a snake bite when about 18 years old."
