  1. 1.  Jesse Graves was born 30 Jan 1755, CT (son of Joshua Graves and Rhoda Bronson); died 12 Oct 1820, Salisbury, Addison Co., VT.

    Notes:

    According to the Graves family website, Jesse was born in either New Cambridge (now Bristol), Hartford Co., CT; or in Waterbury, New Haven Co., CT. The family lived in Salisbury, VT. Jesse built the first cider mill in Salisbury in 1803.

    Jesse married Ruth Remington Between 16 Feb 1780 and 1790, Cummington, MA. Ruth (daughter of Joshua (2) Remington, II and Ruth Clay) was born 5 Aug 1755, Hingham, MA; died 29 Apr 1839, Salisbury, Addison Co., VT. [Group Sheet]

    Notes:

    The Graves family website has the year of marriage as 1780, while the Cummington, MA, VRs (published transcription) says 1790.

    The pension application states that Ruth was married in the winter after she was 32 years old, which would make it 1788. At the time she made that statement, Ruth was in her 80s and may have forgotton the exact details.
