Graves moved to Bainbridge, Ohio, where he worked at carpentering and manufactured cheese for market.

The evidence

• “Graves learned the carpenter and joiner's business while living at Marcellus. In 1833, he moved to Bainbridge, Ohio, where he worked at carpentering on his own account, and also manufactured cheese for market; he then bought a farm, which he kept as a dairy farm. From Bainbridge he moved to Beloit, where, for six years, he managed a dairy farm on shares on the old William Rude farm, since which time he has been engaged as general dr.iyman.”
