Graves family
meeting set
The Graves Family Association will be hosting a national Graves Family Gathering for members and descendants of all the various Graves/Greaves/Grave families in America in suburban Washington, D.C., the last weekend of September. The place is the Quality Inn Arlington Hotel in Arlington, Va. Registration on Friday, September 26, will be followed by a dinner and meeting that night. On Saturday there will be discussions about the various families, specific help for the attendees, a business meeting, socializing, dinner and a speaker. The hotel is conveniently located for sightseeing.
For more information, contact Kenneth Vance Graves, 261 South St., Wrentham, MA 02093, home phone (617)384-8084. Mr. Graves, editor of the Graves Family Newsletter and author of several Graves family books, will be at the gathering.
The Graves family is one of the oldest in America. Capt. Thomas Graves settled in Jamestown, Va. in 1608, and other Graves settlers arrived in New England and elsewhere in the 1600’s or later. German settlers arrived in Pennsylvania and changed their name from Graff to Graves before migrating to N.C., Tenn., Indiana, and elsewhere. Quaker Graves families settled in Delaware, N.J., and Pa. Other Graves immigrants arrived in Canada. Many descendants live today in all parts of the U.S. and Canada.
This meeting is an excellent opportunity for descendants to learn more about their heritage and enjoy themselves at the same time.
