[or-roots] Mary Catherine Graves

[Dale Shirley]

Barbara, 

Wow! am I impressed. Your response to my inquiry gave me a new lease on my
genealogy life. To now know almost for sure when my gr. grandmother 

was born, but to know for sure who her parents were and to know the names of
her siblings.  Gives me so much more to work with now. 

 

I was always hoping that I might find a living Graves descendant. Who knows
now what is possible. Yes! I would so appreciate you sending me copies of
the census images. 

Will they give me the towns the Graves Family lived in Benton Co. ? Would
the town be Corvallis, as you mentioned. 

 

Now to send away for death certificates for James and Melvina Graves.
Perhaps I'll find their parents names and locations. Can I send you postage
money, stamps etc. for all 

your efforts?

Dale,

I found a Mary C. Graves in Benton Co., OR in the Corvallis area in both the
1860 and 1870 census.  In 1870, the parents and children listed are:

James Graves - age 39 - cabinet maker - b. Ohio

Melvina - age 35 - b. MO

Chas. A.

Mary C. - age 13 - b. OR

Maria?

John 

May

Clara 

Olive

 

If you do not have access to the census through Ancestry.com or Heritage
Quest, I can email the images to you.

 

I also checked the online index of the State Archives for Delayed Birth
Records.  I did not find any for Mary C. Graves.

My records show that my gr. grandmother Mary Catherine(Cassie) Graves was
born 

ca. 1856 in Junction City, Oregon.   Would anyone be able to research Graves
birth

records for Lane Co. Oregon for the years 1850 - 1860 to see if their is any
records

of her or her parents (also unknown) for Lane Co. or Junction City.

 

Please reply  dale at simplyemail.com

 

Thankyou,  Dale Shirley

 

P.S.  She married a Jack Breese Shirley, I think in Oregon. Where?
