Benjamin Bennett Graves


W H O   W E   A R E . . .


We are the descendants of Benjamin Bennett Graves and his wife Synthia Sellars.  Benjamin Bennett  Graves was born in Montgomery Co., North Carolina in 1831, and Synthia Sellars was born in  Chesterfield Co., South Carolina in abt. 1832. Their marriage was short lived, as Benjamin Bennett  Graves is thought to have died in service of the south in abt. 1865, and then Synthia raised the  children in Chesterfield Co., South Carolina. These six children, listed below, gave rise to the  large Graves clan that inhabited central and western Chesterfield County of South Carolina as well  as Union and Anson Counties of North Carolina.
