Notes

Asa GRAVES

1850 Wilson County, Tennesse Census, District 19,
(copy in files)

Asa Graves, age 54, born in Virginia
Frances M. age 20, (all remaining people born in Tennessee)
James R., age 17
William, age 13
Louisa Chandler, age 35
William, age 10
Sarah, age 7

From this census, it appears that his wife, Sally, had passed away before 1850.  I do not know who Louisa Chandler is, but she is listed in Asa's household.  Perhaps a housekeeper or nanny to the children??
