Silas Graves (232) was born 10 Nov. 1736 in Sunderland, Massachsetts. He first married Hepzibah Scott, daughter of Joseph Scott and Margaret Belding of Whately, Mass., on 14 Nov. 1758. She was born in 1764 (this date is obviously wrong) and died in 1776. She may have been a daughter of William Scott, Jr. and Rachel (R 21). Silas secondly married Elizabeth ("Jennie") Frizzell of Montague, Mass. on 29 Aug. 1776.
He lived in Sunderland until after the birth of his first child, then moved to Deerfield, then to Montague, and later to some point unknown. He was in the Regt. of Col. Ephraim Williams in the French war in 1755, and was wounded in the battle near Lake George, known as the "Bloody Morning Scout", in which Col. Williams was killed. He was in Capt. Robert Oliver's Co., Col. Doolittle's Regt., in the Rev. War in 1775. In May 1776 he was a Lieut. in the 8th Co., 6th Hampshire County Regt.
