      Thomas Gravenor, the present clerk of the Town of Albany, is a native of Wales, born March 17, 1840. He attended school in his native country until eleven years old, was then apprenticed to a shoemaker to learn a trade. He served four years, then at the age of fifteen years he came to America with his parents, with whom he remained until the death of his father, which occurred in Monroe Co, Wis., Feb 9, 1859. The family then came to Green county, where he traded for a farm in the town of Mount Pleasant and engaged in farming. In 1864 he went to Colorado, and engaged in mining three years, then returned and resumed farming. In 1876, on account of his failing health, he moved with his family to California and remained one year. He then went to New Mexico and engaged in the livery business, while his family returned to Green county. A few months later he returned to Albany and engaged in the grocery and provision business, which he still continues. He still owns his farm in Mt. Pleasant, which he rents. Mr. Gravenor has been twice married, first to Elizabeth, daughter of Thomas and Ann Pryce who died Aug 21, 1872, leaving one child--William J. He was again married April 25, 1875, to Araminta Dorman and they have one child--Jesse Thomas. Mr. Gravenor's father, William Gravenor, was born in the southern part of Wales. In 1855 he emigrated to American and first settled in Mt. Pleasant, Green county, where he purchased a small improved farm, and liver there three years. He then sold out and moved to Monroe County, where he died in 1859, soon after which his family returned to Green county where his widow, Margaret Gravenor, died in 1866. They had four children--William, Jane, Thomas and Margaret. William is dead; Jane is the wife of W. L. Baldwin and lives in Minnesota; Margaret is the wife of Amos St. John, and lives in Mt. Pleasant
