Graves Pack's second wife, Sarah, was such an interesting Colonial Williamsburg lady that she merits a page all of her own.
If you examine Sarah Packe's Web page, it will become obvious as to why this lineage is uncertain.
An article in the William and Mary Quarterly states that Mary and Graves had but one child who died in infancy. Graves, Justice of the Peace in York co. later married a Sarah. It was noted that they had one son, Graves, who died at the age of 18 in a boating accident.
The following information about Samuel Pack and his son, Samuel Pack, Jr. was copied from MY PACK FAMILY GENEALOGY by Carol Pack Urban:
"...Samuel wandered into this region from Tidewater, Virginia and in 1763 was trapping with Swope and Pitman on New River. A son was Samuel, Jr. who settled on that stream. The Packs were large slave holders and owned much of New River Bottom from the mouth of the Greenbrier up to and around the mouth of the Bluestone. Source: A History of Monroe County, West Virginia by Oren F. Morton, p388. (Condensed version.)
The ancestor of Samuel Pack (Jr) was a hunter and trapper with Swope and Pitman, and the first heard of him was at the mouth of Indian, and discovering Indian signs, went to the settlements to inform the settlers, and reached there too late but it led to and resulted in the fight of Capt. Paul with the Indians at the island at the mouth of Indian known as Turkey Creek; this in 1763. (This ancestor was his father, Samuel Pack, Sr.) Source: History of Summers County, West Virginia by Judge James H. Miller, p447, 1st ed 1908, repr 1981. (Condensed version.)
