Biography
Stephen Graves briefly refers to his wife in a pension application on September 25,1820 as "my wife Jenny age 60. I believe she is as stout as perhaps any at her age could be supposed to be."[1] Adam Dunlap's will, dated June 6, 1796, states "I bequeath to my daughter Jean Graves five shillings."[2] Jenny's attribution is based upon these two pieces of information. Since they have a son named Adam, it is possible they were related. Adam Dunlap was one of the signers on letters to the government of North Carolina dated November - December 1789, contained in the state archives, known as the French Broad Petitions.[3] Stephen Graves' property was south of the French Broad.[4]
