7136 Very little is known about Katherine, wife of Capt. Thomas Graves. Her maiden name may have been Croshaw. (There was a Raleigh Chroshaw, Gent., who arrived with the second supply with Thomas Graves.) Just when she came to Virginia is not recorded. She and her children are not included in the 1625 census of the Eastern Shore, although Capt. Thomas Graves is. The patent granted to John Graves (son of Capt. Thomas Graves) on Aug. 9, 1637 states that the 600 acres granted to him in Elizabeth City was "due in right of descent from his father Thomas Graves, who transported at his own cost himself, Katherine Graves his wife, John Graves the patentee, and Thomas Graves, Jr., and 8 persons." (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Nugent.) The 50 acres assigned for each person transported shows they came after 1616. The other 8 persons transported did not include any members of Capt. Graves' family. The girls, Ann, Verlinda, and Katherine obviously came later, and Francis was born in Virginia. The last reference to Mrs. Graves shows her living at the Old Plantation, Accomack, as of May 20, 1636. Croshaw, Katherine (I36434)
 
7137 Victoria, Queen of England, Empress of India; a.k.a.: Alexandrina Victoria Reign: 20 Jun 1837 - 22 Jan 1901; Crowned: Westminster Abbey 28 Jun 1838; She became queen at age 18. Her 63 year reign was the longest in the history of England. Her descendants, including 40 grandchildren, married into almost every royal family of Europe. With her personal example of honesty, patriotism and devotion to family life, Victoria became a living symbol of the solidity of the British Empire. The many years of her reign, often referred to as the Victorian age, witnessed the rise of middle class and were marked by a deeply conservative morality and intense nationalism. She was obsessed with the collecting of memorabilia of her family. She mourned her late husband, Albert, for more than 40 years. Hanover, Queen of England Victoria (I36914)

7139 Viola's obituary states that she and Isaac were married on the 16th, not the 17th.

Viola's death certificate states she was born in 1851. It also states that she was divorced. Her place of burial is listed as "Waverly Cem".

MOSBY, WADE.--Powhatan, Sept. 19, 1832. Born in Powhatan in 1761. About 1777 affiant joined a number of his fellow students at Hampden-Sidney Academy (later a college), in forming a volunteer company. Luke B. Smith, a professor, was captain. Subalterns were, Lt. Samuel Venable and En. Samuel Hackley. Served six weeks at Williamsburg. Was then sixteen years old. A year later the company again went out for six weeks under the same officers, serving at Petersburg. Affiant then quit college, and in fall of 1779 or spring of 1780, was Second Lieutenant under his brother, Capt. Littlebury Mosby (later a General). At Petersburg they joined the cavalry under Col. Banister, of Gen. Lawson's command. The call was because hostile vessels came near on the James. After the defeat of Gates there was a heavy call, and affiant went out under his brother-in-law, Capt. Robert Hughes, serving as adjutant of the regiment. At Moore's Ordinary in Prince Edward, Capt. Cameron, of Buckingham took ill, and affiant was appointed in his place. Was in battle of Guilford under Col. B. Randolph. Col. Carrington, quarter-master-general, laid off the battleground. A fifth tour quickly followed, because Gov. Jefferson wrote Littlebury Mosby to raise all the cavalry he could and go to the aid of Lafayette. L. Mosby called on his subalterns, affiant raising a company and Horatio Turpin another, L. Mosby leading the battalion as major. It lay at Petersburg until the British, under Gen. Phillips arrived, and then the cavalry covered the retreat, taking up the bridge over the Appomattox after the army had crossed. Affiant was then much on vidette service under Col. Call, his own father, militia commandant of county, keeping him to watch Cornwallis while the latter was about Richmond, which was four or five weeks. Married Susanna ----, April 13, 1785.

McLAURINE, WILLIAM.--Cumberland, June 5, 1832. Volunteered May, 1780, under Capt. Richard Crump, Lt. Vincent Markham, and En. James Smith, the latter being a Baptist preacher. Col. Robert Goode commanded the regiment, which served around Hampton. The second tour was under Capt. William Mayo, and began in January, 1781, the command marching to Suffolk. On one occasion the company being surprised in the night, the captain tried to make the men fight, but they ran, although being in larger number they could have taken the opposing force. The command was always on the move and did much night duty, once taking five or six British loaded with jewelry and other plunder. Third tour began next March, and was in the cavalry under Capt. Littlebury Mosby. The service was in detachments. Affiant witnessed the fight at Petersburg. The American army retired to the Midlothian Coal pits, twelve miles away. Affiant went home for a fresh horse, and rejoined the army at Malvern, where he was always on scout duty by night. At one time he could hear conversation on a British vessel. This service was for three months and the company was complimented by Jefferson in a letter to Capt. (afterward Gen.) Mosby. The last tour was in guarding prisoners, mostly seamen.

7143 Virginia Moore [she bought Cliffside & wrote a number of books there] in her book Scottsville on the James refers to him as "Dr. Aldolphus Perkins Bowles of the flowing locks." [p. 86]. A later passage states "Lisping Mrs. Bowles returned - after Dr. Bowles had taken off his big black hat and died - to live with her mother at Cliffside; a meeting place now in the summer for Mrs. Lewis's grandchildren who loved parties." [ibid, p.121]. Her father gave Virginia Lewis a portion of Cliffside property for her home when she married Dr. Bowles. Bowles, Adolphus Perkins (I30420)
