William Graves and Eliza Graves (Bunch)

Question

I have come across some information that I need to have cleared up.  I read in some areas that William Marion Graves was married to Eliza Bunch and then I read that it was William Ceasar Graves that was married to Eliza Bunch.  Are these both the same pweaon?  Also did William and Eliza have a daughter by the name of Carrie Graves who was married to a Henry Miller?

Answer 1

A William and Eliza Graves did have a child name Carrie.

However, first point the profiles have a conflict in that they state that Eliza died (before 1882), while the birth of her son was stated as 1888.

The 1880 Census shows a William and Eliza with two children living in Greene County IN.

Household Members:   

Name    Age

William Graves 24

Eliza Graves        23

Jacob Graves     6

Carrie Graves     2

The problem with the above family is by 1900 they do not have a child by the name of Carl.

Carl E. Graves with the same birth and death dates is shown at Find a Grave Memorial # 17180006.  The link is below.

Some use the following to support the marriage of a William Marion Graves.

William M Graves  in the Indiana, Marriage Collection, 1800-1941

Name: William M Graves

Spouse Name: Annie M Share

Marriage Date: 16 Mar 1882

If Eliza did die before 1882 then this could be a second marriage.
