In 1792 John Jr. married Dorothy Cooley, daughter of William and Sarah Cooley and a sister of Timothy Mather Cooley, long time pastor of church in Granville. (The elder son was Timothy Cooley Tibbals referred to in Rev. T. M. Cooley's address in 1845. He died before 1831.) In 1845 Granville celebrated the 50th year of Timothy M. Cooley's pastorate and in his speech he mentions the death of the 1St Timothy Cooley Tibbals and we know by the will of Dorothy Cooley Tibbals that he died prior to 1831, the date of that will.

Enoch was of Champlain, Clinton Co., NY, when his intention to wed Doritha Tibbals was published 28 Nov. 1802 at Granville, MA. He and his brother Roswell were members of the Licking Company formed in Granville, MA in 1804 to purchase land in Ohio. They were both pioneers of Granville, OH. Enoch was chosen Petit Juror of Granville, OH in 1808.



The following letter was written by Austin Graves to his surviving family and was addressed to either his brother Alonzo or Enoch in Granville, OH, on the death of his father, Enoch. It was folded in the shape of an envelope and sealed with red wax. There was no stamp on the letter, but on the left corner a printing marked Middlebury, O. May 4. In the right corner written in ink "12 1/2".
North Springfield, Portage Co., Ohio
April 27th 1836
Dear Friends:

Your letters both came to hand on the 25 of this inst. bearing the heavy tidings of Death. When I first saw they were both from Granville, the thought strick me, there was something the matter. When I first read them I was about to exclaim Oh my father, would to God I had died for thee, but alas he is gone and what can I say but thanks be to God for the evidence he has left, of his Christian race.
I believe he has fought the good fight and kept the faith and now his troubles are at an end, of which he has been no stranger to. He has braved the howling wilderness for his family. He has buried children and bosom friends and I do not doubt but many a tear has stolen down his furrowed cheek for me.
Little did I think when I saw him last, that I should never see him again, but now he is gone, I feel myself bereaved of a parent and friend. Oft shall death and sorrow reign ere we all do meet again, but in fancies wide domain, there shall we all meet again.
These words have often occurred to me this winter and now I can feel the truth of them indeed at heart.
But to you Alonzo,
I would say, you are the youngest of the family, but death spares not any, you are bereaved of a parent as well as myself, which perhaps you will miss more on the account of being with him. But we must bear our loss together. I hope and think you did not let him suffer, for anything you could do in his sickness.
To you Mother,
You have lost a companion and friend, but long hath the almond tree flourished with him, and those that look out of the windows. He sleepeth and will till the great trump shall sound to wake the dead.
Twice have you now buried your bosom friend and your head is fast blossoming for the grave. But you may outlive any of us. May the kind hand of heaven support you under all your trials and guard and direct you.
To Rhoda,
You are the only surviving sister, and sooner or later we must part.
To Brother Strong,
I feel as if we ought all of us to be ready, for I think we ought all of us to take warning by this, that we might go when our Master calls in peace.
To sister Lucy,
When I first saw the letters, I thought of you being sick. But I found it otherwise and you enjoy comfortable health.
We all of us enjoy comfortable health at prresent and we ought to be thankful for it.
To Enoch,
You are the oldest now of the family but we have not gone in succession by age, but our father is gone and we know not which of us go next. Well do I remember of sitting on his parental knee but now we shall no more hear of his soothing voice. But I trust his immortal part has winged its way through the trackless air to fairer world on high, where it now sings in sweet angelic strains. He is gone and we must soon follow and if Jordons proud wave was stayed till he pass gently over, what could we ask more for him, but we must ask for ourselves and may God grant that we receive.
/s/ Austin Graves
P.S. I have not seen Harman, perhaps for three or four weeks, but am looking for him almost every day. If nothing prevents I think possible I may be down in the month of May

All the following children were born in Granville, MA, except for Alonzo who was born in Granville, OH.

Dorothy Cooley grew up in Granville, Massachusetts with 9 siblings; Dorothy was the 4th child of William & Sarah Mather Cooley. She was baptized at the 1st Church of Granville by Rev. Jedidiah Smith in 1771.
On October 9, 1792, Dorothy married John Tibbals, Jr. in Granville. They had 3 children: Timothy Cooley (born 1793), William John (born February, 1797), and Olive (born June 1800). On September 7, 1800, John Tibbals died leaving Dorothy with three small children. Two years later, on November 28, 1802, Dorothy married Enoch Graves in Granville. Enoch's 1st wife (Rhoda Rose Graves) had died earlier in 1802 leaving him with 5 young children.
Dorothy and Enoch had one child, Frederick Harmon, who was born on March 2, 1804. In September, 1805, Enoch left Granville, Massachusetts and moved on to Licking county, Ohio with relatives of his 1st wife. There are no records to confirm that Dorothy left with this party. Dorothy is listed on the 1830 census for Granville, Massachusetts as head of the household, living with her recently widowed daughter, Olive Tibbals Holmes, and her grandson, John Lathrop Holmes. Furthermore, by 1812, Enoch has married his 3rd wife Hannah Pratt in Licking county, Ohio; and when Hannah dies in 1821, Enoch marries a 4th wife.
In Granville, Dorothy had many family members. Her parents did not die until the early 1820's. Five of her siblings were life-long residents of Granville, Massachusetts. And her son William John lived in Granville with his wife and 8 of his children until 1841.
In 1831 Dorothy Cooley Tibbals Graves made her will. She named her son William John , her daughter Olive, and her son Frederick Harmon as heirs. She also named her grandson John Lathrop to be an heir after Olive.
In 1832, after the death of her daughter Olive, Dorothy raised her grandson John Lathrop Holmes. Dorothy died on January 26, 1842. We believe William John and his family had already left Granville for Ohio at this time, as he completed the sale of his Granville home in 1841. William John had been made executor of Dorothy's Will but declined the honor in favor of his Uncle James Cooley, an attorney in Granville.

ENOCH GRAVES

From Annals LIcking Ohio page 109
It was about 1815 that Elihu Cooley, Spencer Wright and
Enoch Graves came out from Granville, Mass., on a tour of
observation, staid a while and returned, going and coming
on foot. All of them were of the original company, but had
not yet taken possession of their land.
