Biographical History
Iverson Lea Graves (b. 1800), an early benefactor of Emory College, married Sara Ward Dutton (1834) with whom he had four children; three who lived to adulthood were Henry Lea (b. 1842), Iverson Dutton (b. 1845), and Cornelia Lansing, called "Cora" (b. 1849). The Graves family lived at Mount Pleasant, a plantation built by Soloman Graves (1766-1830), Iverson L. Graves's father, in Newton County, Georgia. Both Henry L. and Iverson D. Graves attended Emory College and served in the Confederate forces. Henry served as a private in the 2nd Georgia Battalion and later (1862) as an officer in the Confederate Marine Corps; Iverson began service as a master's mate in the Confederate Navy in 1864, after attending the Georgia Military Institute. Henry Lea Graves ran the Mt. Pleasant plantation after his father's death (1864). He married Henrietta (Rhetta) Milligan (1869), a niece of Augustus B. Longstreet, and served as a Georgia legislator (1890-1891). Iverson D. Graves managed the family property in Terrell County, Georgia, near what became the town of "Graves." Henry Lewis Graves, son of Henry Lea Graves, lived in the Mt. Pleasant home until his death ca. 1958.
