Genealogies: Marsha's Graves - Generation 3 Genealogy

Married the first time (Unknown) Their child may have been John Graves (born before 1679 d 1720 Essex Co., Va)

Married the second time before Nov 28, 1678 to Jane (maybe Davenport, widow) McDuffy or McGuffrey

Francis Graves gave certain cattle to his step-children, John Maguffey and Jane Maguffey and Elizabeth Davenport (Old Rappahannock Records) Deeds, and Wills 6, page 57, the original deed preserved among the loose papers of Essex Co., Va and shows Francis Graves's firm signature.

Frances Graves died ca 1691.

After Francis Graves died, Jane remarried Francis Doughty, who had been the third husband of Ann Graves (sister of Francis Graves) "I HAVE THAT ANN WAS MARRIED TO WILLIAM COTTON" Francis Doughty was rector of Hungar's Parish like Ann's other 2 husbands (Wm Cotton and Nathan Eaton). Ann Graves and Francis Doughty married June 8, 1657. Ann died March 2, 1683-84.

So I have no maiden name for Jane and four husbands, MaGuffey, Davenport, Graves and Doughty.

====================================================================

The lady who sent the above was Carol Middleton and doesn't say Jane was or wasn't a Davenport. It is probable that she had a Davenport husband if she actually had a child Elizabeth Davenport that is supposed to be mentioned in Francis Grave's Will. Either that or born before the Maguffie marriage. Jane may have been a Croshaw cousin. Her marriages were too "well" for her to have been the mother of a child out of wedlock.

It is a mystery.

====================================================================

Francis Graves, Sr. (7) was born about 1630 in Virginia, and died about 1691 (before 5 Aug. 1691). The birth date of Francis is inferred from the fact that he was still a minor and described as "orphan of Capt. Thomas Graves decd." in 1642. From this date until 1672 we have no information about Francis. According to Mrs. Hiden, it is likely from the associates his family chose that he spent some time in Gloucester Co., Va. before settling in Essex Co. It is also probable that he lived in Essex Co. before patenting land there, and that the 714 acres he patented 10 Oct. 1672 (S.L.O. 6, p. 436) "on the south side of the river, part on the branch of Gilson's Creek and part on Hoskins Creek adjoining Mr. Beverley's corner," represented a choice of location rather than just the reward for transporting 14 persons.

He married Jane Maguffey (or McGuffy or Maguffy) before 28 Nov. 1678. Her maiden name may have been Davenport, and she may have first married Mr. Maguffey, secondly Francis Graves, and thirdly John D. Doughty. The marriage of Francis to Jane was his second (according to Mrs. Sue Davis). At the time of his marriage to Jane he gave certain cattle to his step-children, John and Jane Maguffey and Elizabeth Davenport (Old Rappahannock Records, Deeds and Wills 6, p. 57). The original deed is preserved among the loose papers of Essex Co. and shows Francis Graves's firm signature.

In 1694, after Francis had died and Jane had remarried John Doughty, this new husband deeded certain property to Jane's sons, Francis, Richard, and Thomas Graves (Essex Deeds and Wills 6, Reverse of book, p. 296). Doughty died between 1704, when he is listed in the Quit Rent Roll (Va. Mag., vol. 33, p. 262), and 1715, when Francis and Thomas Graves (sons of Jane and Francis) appear on the list (Essex Quit Rent Roll 1715, Archives Div., Va. State Library).

According to The Diary of Robert Rose, p. 320, Francis Graves, Jr., who died in 1748, had a nephew Benjamin Graves who had been overseer, first for the Rev. John Bagge on Thomas Button's "Range" plantation in Essex Co. in 1726 and earlier, and then for Parson Rose at the glebe in Essex Co., Va.

It was suggested that Francis was not a son of Capt. Thomas Graves, but of someone else, and that there was a Frances Graves who was a daughter of Capt. Thomas Graves. This was thought to be incorrect, as explained in the Appendix at the end of this book. However, the preliminary results of the Graves DNA Study indicate that Francis probably was a son of another Graves immigrant, and the child of Capt. Thomas Graves was a daughter. (R-14, R-20, R-506, R-507, R-518)

Notes for JANE DAVENPORT:

Jane - Your Francis Graves married Jane Davenport Maguffey. He was the s/o Thomas Graves b 1580 in England and came to VA in 1608 in Oct and returned to England possibly in 1609. Came to Jamestown on the "Mary and Margeret" He married in England possibly ca 1609 1610 and fathered John and maybe Thomas and returned to VA prior to 1617 /18/19 when his other children Ann, Verlinda, Katherine, and Frances were born. He died Nov 1635 on the Eastern shore of VA . He made a land grant Mar 18, 1666/1667 to Lawrence Smith and was married to Katherine Croshaw(?) who was b in Ireland and died May 24, 1636. I know nothing more about your line as mine stems from John Graves b ca 1611 - his first son. He married Elizabeth Perrin and I of course go from there. Information can be found in the National Society of the Colonial Dames of the 17th Century and their headquarters is @ 1300 New Hampshire Ave. , Washington D.C., 20036. Also Early VA Immigrants by Greer, Cavileer, Pioneers, page 358 "Some Descendants of Della C Olson, 1987 and "Imprints 1608 Hamilton and Allied Families" by Sister Mary Louise Donnaly. John Scott Davenport can help you with all of this. Ann Graves b ca 1620 married 1) Rev. William Cotton, 2) Rev. Nathaniel Eaton, and 3) Rev Frances Doughty and she d ca 1675/76.
