I would appreciate any information regarding the following:

Dr. Charles Graves (or Greaves), lived in Wainfleet Twp., Welland, Ontario,
Canada on the line between lots 23 and 24, Concession 5, now Bradshaw
Road. His date of birth is not established, but an arbitrary estimate
placed it at about 1830, plus or minus 5 years.
He married (date ?) Martha Jane (maiden name unknown) who was born
April-May 1837 in (Ontario ?) Canada. She died Oct 6, 1873, 36 years, 5
months of age, and is buried in Willson Cemetery (N side of Hwy 3, west of
Chamber Corners, near or on lots 22, 23, Concession 5, see Ontario Gen.
Cem. # 4687, County Lot 105, #181). Dr. Charles Graves signed the death
certificate of his wife Martha Jane as both witness and physician (also
signed by another physician).
Children are: William A., born Apr 1871, died Sept. 22, 1881, aged 10
years, 5 months, (buried in lot as above, #180); daughter Mary, born ?,
said to have moved to US. Possible (?) son Charles E., born Jan 4, 1872 in
Welland, adopted by James and Sarah Rogers of Watkins, New York State.
Dr. Charles Graves is not buried in Willson Cemetery.
