Vincent and Martha lived in Rockingham Co. until 1819, they then moved to Williamson Co. Tenn. along with the Johnson Family, his sister and brother-in-law. Vincent and Martha moved to Christian County, Kentucky before
1830, where his brothers, John and William were living. It was there on the 13th
of May 1834 that Vincent deGraffenried died. After his death his widow and children moved to Polk County, Missouri.
Martha applied for a pension on the service of Vincent in the Revolutionary War, on 28 july 1844, Greene Co. Missouri. She states that she was the widow of Vincent deGraffenried, who was a private in the War of the Revolution and who entered the service of the USA from the County of Lunenberg, Va., in his 14th year as a substitute in place of Miller Woodson. After three months tour he returned home but immediately entered again for another tour of three months, but served only six weeks. After his return home the second time, her husband enlisted 1st June 1777 for the remainder of the war or during thge war, and remained in the service of the U.S. during the remainder of the war, or until the British Prisoners, at the surrender of Cornwallis, were marched from Yorktown to Winchester, Va., in order to be exchanged.

Evidently she received no pension from this, because on 13 June 1851 she made another petition for a pension from Vincent's services. She died 16 sept. 1851 in Jasper Co. Missouri.
Note: Some records list a daughter named Catherine, for Vincent and Martha(Clay) deGraffenreid, but no records of marriage or family history on her. I beleive she is "Lucy Catherine" and married Joseph Anglin, our ancestor.
