=======================================
RALPH GRAVES was born in Windsor, Windham Co., VT, Feb. 17th, 1796, and died in May, 1875. He began life for himself in Castile, NY in 1819, and by his own unaided exertions became a prosperous and influential farmer of that town, where he died. His widow retains possession of the old homestead, but removed to Pike Village, NY, where she has since lived, in 1877. Oct. 30th, 1827, Mr. Graves married EMILY TOLLES, daughter of Samuel L. Tolles, of Welsh descent and a native of New Haven, CT, who came to Marcellus, Onondaga Co.,NY, in 1808, and in 1820 to Centreville, Allengany Co., NY , where he took up the farm now owned by Andrew McFarlan. In 1835 he removed from Centreville, NY, and died in Dunkirk, Chautauqua Co., NY, in 1858.
