Ann Smith Brookes

(Apr 1770 - )



Mother's name not given in Kingston Parish register.

Is this the right marriage for Ann - there seems to be a conflict. She was certainly married to a Solomon Graves. Graves publications list only a single wife for Solomon - Frances Lewis - and believe she was the mother of all his children. The son that appears to be oldest, William B. Graves, was age 59 in the 1850 census in Randolph Co, GA, or born 1791. Ann Smith was living when her father's will was written, 3 Oct 1789. She is completely omitted in the will of Ann Brookes, widow of Richard, but Ann may not have been her mother ...or perhaps Ann was deceased. When Solomon Graves died his wife was named in his will as Joanna, adding to the doubt that Solomon had only a single wife named Frances.
