The dates of the marriage, and John's early death, are recorded - but useless. It seems that they adopted a dating system based on the bible, so we cannot compare dates effectively. Suffice it to say that susannah Dicken outlived John Graves and may have been "...my sister, Susannah Dicken, widow..." referred to in Isaac's will. She is supposed to have been born in 1714, which brings her into the same timeframe. Lending some support to this admittedly 'loose' supposition is that she named one of her sons Isaac.

Hmmmmmm..... Susannah had a son, possibly an Isaac, early Virginia... American made?
