Caswell Guardians' Account
1805 Azariah Graves was guardian of Azariah, orphan of Thomas Graves; John Graves was guardian of Lewis, orphan of Thomas Graves, James Graves was guardian of Major Graves, orphan of Thomas Graves.

Azariah married 16 May 1809 to Penelope Simpson.


Brown Boswell (1802-1863)
Brown Boswell (1802-1863), married as his first wife Manella A. Graves (1810-1859), who probably was born in Caswell County, North Carolina (daughter of Azariah Graves and Penelope Simpson Graves). They were married pursuant to a Caswell County marriage bond dated 15 October 1829. 
Both Brown Boswell and Manella Graves Boswell are buried in the Boswell Family Cemetery (Longsought Road, Henderson County, Tennessee), as is his second wife (described below). 
Source of Photographs: Pippenger, Jean Boswell and Boswell, Imogene May (Compilers). Descendants of Edward Boswell. Baltimore (MD): Gateway Press, 1986, which provided the following:
 "We do not know the name of the father and mother of Brown Boswell. He [father of Brown Boswell] and his wife [mother of Brown Boswell] must have died before 1820, leaving their son, Brown, to be raised by his grandfather Edward and his Aunt Charlotte. Researchers have believed his [father of Brown Boswell] name might be William and that his wife's [mother of Brown Boswell] maiden name could have been Brown, given the name chosen for their son, but this is only speculation." 
Boswell Brown took as his second wife Nancy J. Graves (1824-1899), younger sister of his first wife, Manella A. Graves. A photograph of Brown Boswell and his second wife accompany this message. We have not seen an image of Manella A. Graves Boswell.
