Four of the children were on the 1850 census and two have been born since that time.

A source of information about this family:
"Ancestors of William Gravlee", about 1885, by William Gravlee, states that "his brother John married Rebecca Cornwell, the daughter of a well-known and well-to-do and respectable farmer. She lived only a few years." She had a daughter, Mary Catherine, who married a "Head" and was an heir to the Eli Cornwell estate.

John Gravlee's birthplace was given as Alabama on Mary C. Head's death certificate by her son John.

John married Rebecca Cornwell. (Rebecca Cornwell was born about 1822 in Alabama, United States and died between 1836 and 1839.)
