Individual Details
Ann Lea "Nancy" Graves
(5 Jan 1794 - 28 Oct 1857)
This is probably Nancy Lea Graves mentioned as a granddaughter of John Williams in his will date 31 May 1798; the will also states her brother is John Williams Graves. They were minors in 1798 and likely the two oldest children since no others were names.
I believe this is the widow in the 1850 census. The household is marked as a "hotel" - likely a boarding house - and was the 1st enumeration in Yanceyville.
