WILLIAM GRAVES CRENSHAW A WORTHY descendant of a distinguished Welsh and Eng-lish ancestry was Captain William Graves Crenshaw ofHawfield, Orange County, Virginia. He was the son ofSpotswood Dabney Crenshaw by his wife Winifred (nee)Graves, and born July 7, 1824, in the historic city of Crenshaw lived to accomplish great things. The recordof his achievements causes his name to stand out pre-eminentlyin the history7 of the South with a fourfold claim to imperishableremembrance; as an unselfish patriot and benefactor; as a valiantsoldier; as a trusted and distinguished diplomat and as a busi-ness executive of rare initiative and sound judgment. Naturally studious, he had, at an age earlier than usual,acquired the essential elements of a liberal education.
