Treasure Chest Thursday~Team-Graves Marriage


Mildred Graves was born 7 April 1907, a daughter of Lemuel Smiley Graves and Lucy Perkins Davis.

On November 6, 1936, Mildred Lee Graves married John Wiley Team, Sr. in Kershaw County, South Carolina.  The marriage licensee can be found on Ancestry.com if you can decipher the transcription errors. I have made some suggestions that I hope will make this marriage entry easier to find for future researchers.  

This is one entry on Ancestry.com and you can see that Mildred’s surname IS NOT transcribed as GRAVES but was transcribed as TRAVERS.





The entry for John W. Team and Mildred Graves in the Marriage Register is the last entry on the page.





The Marriage Register entry clearly shows Mildred’s surname to be GRAVES. Their marriage took place on 6 November 1936 and the License was returned on 10 November 1936.  




Mildred Graves is my 3rd Cousin twice removed.
