    'Martha Betts, second daughter, so far as appears, of John and Mary Betts, was born in England about 1625. She married, Jan. 16, 1655, Nathaniel Graves of Wethersfield, son of Thomas and Sarah Graves of Hartford and Hadley, born in England in 1629. ... The deaths of himself and wife, as recorded in Wethersfield, are :
    "Nathaniel Graves, Sen. aged about 53 died Sept. 28, 1682."
    "Widow Martha Graves deceased Apr. 13, 1701, ... a 75, as some think." '

    Two deeds of gift from John Betts of Wethersfield in 1662, which give "one half of my moveables about my house" to each of "my kinsfolke the children of my Brother Borman" and "my brother Nathaniell Graves" identify the wives of Samuel Boreman and Nathaniel Graves (whose wife was Martha) as the sisters of John Betts, and daughters of "the Widow Mary Betts, one of the first settlers of Hartford."

    Nathaniel Graves (5) was born about 1629 in England, and died 28 Sept. 1682 at Wethersfield, Conn. He married Martha Betts, daughter of John and Mary Betts, on 16 Jan. 1655. She was born in 1625 in England, and died 13 April 1701. He settled in Wethersfield and was made a freeman there 21 May 1657, was surveyor there in 1661, a fence viewer in 1669, and drew lands in 1670. He had a homestead on the east side of Broad Street, Wethersfield, in 1659. In 1662, John Betts of Wethersfield conveyed to him 23 acres of land, and in the deed calls him "his brother." Nathaniel settled the estate of his father in Conn. ("House lot of 3 acres whereon he liveth," and other lands granted to him in Wethersfield) between 1645 and 1652. The inventory of Nathaniel's estate, dated 30 Oct. 1682, amounted to 439 pounds, 2 s., 2 d.
