      Eugenia C Clapp was commonly known as Jane. She was born on 27 September 1833 at Milford, Prince Edward County, Ontario.2,1 Bertha May Graves Sealock's DAR application says Eugenia was born in Milton Lane. There is no such place in Ontario. There is a Milford in South Marysburgh Twp, Prince Edward County. Her father Hiram is known to have lived in South Marysburgh Twp. Another possibility is Milltown, Hastings County which is just 4 miles north of Prince Edward County. She was the daughter of Hiram Clapp and Rhoda Striker.1,2 She has also been reported to have been born on 27 September 1832.3 She moved to Wisconsin at an early age.4 She married Roswell Graves, son of Roswell Graves and Mary Ann Betts, on 18 August 1857 at Wyocena, Columbia County, Wisconsin.5 She died on 10 April 1912 of myocarditis and chronic nephritis at Buckley, Pierce County, Washington, at age 78.1,2

Eugenia's obituary in the The Buckley Banner on 12 April 1912 read:
""Mrs. Jane C. Graves was born near Milton, Canada, Sept. 27, 1833. She died near Buckley, Wash., at the home of her daughter, Mrs. E.F. Ross, Apr. 10, 1912. Her parents moved to Wisconsin while she was quite young, and there she was married Aug. 18, 1857 to Rev. Roswell Graves who died in 1883. They crossed the plains in 1864, settling in Solano County, Calif. Seven children were born to them, six of whom are now living in this state."4

She was buried on 13 April 1912 at Spokane, Spokane County, Washington.2
