  	The Seagraves surname presented for this person is based on the dominant spelling found in the various records researched, but primarily on the name carved on the person's gravestone. HOWEVER, for the common variations of the Seagraves family name of which there are over 20, such as Cegrave(s) Segrave(s), Seagreave(s), Seegrave(s), Segrove(s), Seagrove(s), etc. all of which have been given the Seagraves spelling for clarity and ease of analysis. Certain variations are used so consistently within a family that they have been retained in this analysis, specifically, SAGRAVES (which also includes Sagrove(s)) and SEAGRAVE. Sagraves was adopted by the early settlers of eastern Kentucky about 1800. Seagrave was the version brought to Massachusetts by the John & Sarah Seagrave family who settled there about 1725. The Seagraves version is the most common found (about 39%) of all those found on the 1940 census. A discussion of the name spelling variations can be found on the Home Page of this website.

  Father	Jacob SEAGRAVES,   b. Abt 1763, North Carolina d. 7 Jun 1835, Clinton County, Illinois (Age ~ 72 years)
  Relationship	Birth
  Mother	Unknown LNU
  Relationship	Birth
  Marriage	Abt 1806  [5]
  	according to "Let the Drums Roll- Veterans and Patriots of the Revolutionary War who Settled in Maury County, Tennessee" Jacob married a second time to a woman named Alinar. His second wife as referred to in his 1822 pension application was "aged about 40 years" in 1822, suggesting she was born in the early 1780s. This second wife was probably the mother of his 8 children named in his 1822 pension application. The entry for Jacob on Findagrave.com suggests that his second wife was an Elizabeth Hanes. No record of such 2nd marriage has been found and neither source specifies an original source for the information, so since Jacob's 1822 pension application describes, without naming, a wife, she is presumed to have existed. Jacob was possibly married in Maury County, Tennessee.
