Agnes was first married to Dr. John Graves, the founder of the town of Monticello in 1831, just north of Glasgow. "The doctor erected a building for a store, which was the only business house in the town, and, while building his dwelling house, he lost his life. He and a hired hand had crossed the Chariton river to get a load of sand, and while returning in a canoe the doctor was drowned. Joshua Belden took charge of the doctor's business, and afterwards married his widow." (1883 History of Howard and Chariton Counties)
