In another theory, she is the Josephine Graves, WF 5, b. Missouri,
at Rochester twp., Andrew Co. [sandwiched between Nodaway and Buchanan cos.],
Missouri on 11 Aug. 1870, in household of Sophia McDermot, WF 68,
keeping house, $8400 real estate, $920 personal estate, b. Ohio;
Zachariah McDermot, WM 20, farmer, b. Missouri; Sarah Roberts,
WF 16, at home, b. Illinois, attending school; and Josephine
Graves (1870 U.S. Census, Andrew Co., Missouri, Rochester twp.,
Series M593, Roll 755, p. 339, ##206-206, lines 4-7; next door,
lines 2-3, are Elizabeth Roberts, 50, $100 personal estate, b. Virginia,
and George Roberts, 13, at home, appar. not in school, b. Illinois).
This Josephine may have been the Josephine Graves, WF 14, servant,
b. Missouri, parents' birthplace not known, working in household of
Henry Ackerman, b. Switzerland ca. 1830, who lived next to Drury W.
Graves in Grant twp., Missouri, in 1880. This Josephine Graves
may have been a daughter of Drury W. Graves, b. Indiana ca. 1835,
living Grant twp., Nodoway Co., Missouri in 1880. In 1860, at Platte,
Andrew Co., Missouri, he was 25, with wife M. A., aged 23, b.
Kentucky (this was Mary Ann Dillon, whom he married in Andrew Co.,
Missouri 4 May 1854 (per "Missouri Marriages" database at
www.ancestry.com, noted 21 Jan. 2006).
In 1870 Drury's wife was Elizabeth ____, 19, b. Illinois, and in
1880 she was 29. In 1880, in Grant twp., Nodoway Co., Missouri,
they lived next door to Henry Ackermann, whose household contained
the 14-year old servant girl Josephine Graves. Problem: Josephine
Graves is not in Drury's household in 1870, when she would be a
4 to 6-year old child incapable of living on her own. Was Josephine
perhaps a niece, rather than a daughter?
