http://www.gravesfa.org/gen169.htm

"Thomas Graves (1), gentleman, arrived in Virginia in October of 1608, coming
from England in the ship "Mary and Margaret" with Captain Christopher
Newport's second supply. Although John Card Graves (R-915) states that
Thomas was accompanied by his wife Katherine, sons John and
Thomas, and eight others, including Henry Singleton and Thomas Edge, most
other historians agree that he did not bring his wife and children over until
later. It is likely that he did not even marry Katherine until 1610, and his first
child was born about 1611.

Thomas Graves was one of the original Adventurers (stockholders) of the
Virginia Company of London, and one of the very early Planters (settlers) who
founded Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in North
America. He was also the first known person named Graves in North America.
Captain Thomas Graves is listed as one of the original Adventurers as
"Thomas Grave" on page 364, Records of the Virginia Company of London,
vol. IV. Although the Records of the Virginia Company state that in 1622 was
granted "a patent to Thomas Graves of Doublin in the Realm of Ireland, gent.",
this may be a clerical error. As stated in the original charter of the Virginia Co.
of London, the first Adventurers to Virginia were to be from the city of London.

King James I of England, on April 10, 1606, granted letters patent (charter) to
Sir Thomas Gates, Sir George Somers, Richard Hakluyt, Edward-Maria
Winfield, Thomas Hanham, Raleigh Gilbert, William Parker, and George
Popham, in whose names the petition for the charter to the Virginia
Company of London had been made, for the founding of two colonies in
Virginia.

In 1606 the name Virginia designated the North American coast north of
Spanish Florida. The First Colony was to "begin their first plantation and place
of their first sojourning and dwelling in any place along the aforesaid coast of
Virginia or America where they thought it suitable and convenient, between
the aforesaid thirty-four and forty-one degrees of the aforesaid latitude." The
Second Colony was to locate at some point between thirty-eight degrees and
forty-five degrees of northern latitude. (Rec. Va. Co., vol. IV, p. 368)

The First Colony (consisting of knights, gentlemen, merchants and others of
the city of London) made a settlement at Jamestown on May 13, 1607, which
became permanent. The Plymouth grantees (from the English cities of Bristol
and Exeter, the town of Plymouth, and other places) established the Second
Colony at Sagadagic (on the coast of what became Maine) in August 1607, but
abandoned it in the spring of 1608.

On May 13, 1607, Captain Christopher Newport's fleet of three small ships,
the Susan Constant, the Godspeed and the Discovery, with 105 colonists,
reached the site of this first permanent English settlement, and called it
James Towne. Captain Newport returned to Jamestown on Jan. 8, 1608 with
the first supply in the John and Francis. The Phoenix, commanded by Captain
Francis Nelson, which had sailed as part of the first supply, finally arrived on
20 April 1608. More than half the settlers died that first winter.

Captain Newport sailed again for England and arrived at Blackwell May 21,
1608. Capt. Nelson returned to England in the Phoenix early in July 1608, with
requests from Virginia to be sent by the second supply. Capt. Newport left
England in the Mary and Margaret, a ship of about 150 tons, with the second
supply, probably in August of 1608. Many sources give the arrival date of this
second supply as being early in October 1608. We do know that it was after
Sept. 10, 1608.

A comparatively complete record, with the names, of the little band of first
planters who came in 1607 and the two supplies of 1608 is given by Captain
John Smith in his Historie. These three expeditions brought a total of about
295 people -- the first settlers numbering about 105, the first supply 120, and
the second supply about 70. Of the whole number, 92 are described as
"gentlemen."

Regarding the title of "Captain" which is attached to Thomas Graves in Virginia
historical records, he had no such designation in the Charter of 1609 wherein
all the Adventurers (stockholders) of the Virginia Company are listed, and is
shown by Captain John Smith on his arrival in Virginia simply as "Thomas
Graves, Gent." Thus it appears that he acquired the title of Captain after
arriving in Virginia.

Thomas Graves early became active in the affairs of the infant colony. On an
exploring expedition he was captured by the Indians and taken to
Opechancanough. Thomas Savage, who had come to Virginia with the first
supply on the John and Francis in 1608, was sent to rescue him, in which he
was successful.

The winter of 1608-09 was much better than the previous winter, but soon
after Capt. John Smith returned to England for medical treatment in October
1609, the "Starving Time" reduced the population of about 500 to no more than
sixty men, women, and children. In June of 1610, the survivors were in the
process of abandoning the settlement, when Lord Delaware arrived as
governor of the colony. From that time on, there was apparently no further
serious thought of abandoning the town. However, even by 1616, the colony
had a total population of only 351, of whom 81 were farmers or tenants.

In 1617 the Virginia Company, hoping to expand population and agricultural
production in the colony, encouraged private or voluntary associations
organized on a joint stock basis to establish settlements in the area of the
Company's patent. The Society of Smith's (or Smythe's) Hundred (later called
Southampton Hundred) was organized in 1617. In addition to Captain
Thomas Graves, the Adventurers included Sir Thomas Smith, Sir Edwin
Sandys, and the Earl of Southampton. Soon after April 29, 1619, Governor
Yeardley wrote to Sir Edwin Sandys: "I have entreated Capt. Graves, an antient
officer of this company, to take charge of the people and workes."

Capt. Thomas Graves was a member of the First Legislative Assembly in
America, and, with Mr. Walter Shelley, sat for Smythe's Hundred when they met
at Jamestown on July 30, 1619. The time of Capt. Thomas Graves' removal to
the Eastern Shore is not known. It was, however, after August 1619, since he
was then a representative from Smythe's Hundred to the first meeting of the
House of Burgesses. It was also prior to Feb. 16, 1623, for "A List of Names:
of the Living in Virginia, Feb. 16, 1623" shows Thomas Graves "at the Eastern
Shore". His patent for 200 acres on the Eastern Shore is of record 14 March
1628 (Patent Book No. 1, p. 72, Land Registrar's Office, Richmond, Va.). This
land was in what was then known as Accomack, now a part of Northampton
Co. It was granted by Dr. Thomas Pott, Governor of Virginia, and was on the
eastern side of the Bay of Chesapeake, westerly of the lands of Capt. Henry
Flute, an explorer of the Bay, "by virtue of the adventure of five and twenty
pounds paid by the said Capt. Thomas Graves to Sir Thomas Smyth,
Treasurer of the Virginia Company." He paid a "quit rent" of one shilling for fifty
acres, payable at the feast of St. Michael the Archangel (Sept. 29) each year on
a part of his land.

In the census of February 1625, Capt. Thomas Graves was one of only 51
people then living on the Eastern Shore. He was put in charge of the direction
of local affairs later in 1625. In Sept. 1632 he, with others, was appointed a
Commissioner "for the Plantacon of Acchawmacke". He was one of the
Burgesses to the Assembly, representing Accomac, for the 1629-30 session
and the 1632 session. He attended many of the meetings of the
Commissioners, but he was absent from Dec. 30, 1632/3 until Oct. 23,
1633/4. It appears that he was out of the country.

The old Hungars Episcopal Church is located about seven miles north of
Eastville, on the north side of Hungars Creek. Hungars Parish was made
soon after the county was established, and the first minister was Rev. Francis
Bolton, who was succeeded by Rev. William Cotton. The first vestry was
appointed in 1635. The first vestry meeting was on Sept. 29, 1635, at which
Capt. Thomas Graves headed the list of those present. The first church edifice
was erected in 1690-95 and was still standing around 1900, one of the oldest
churches in the country. In addition to Capt. Thomas Graves, the other
persons named by the court as vestrymen of Hungars Church were William
Cotton, minister, Obedience Robins, John Howe, William Stone (first
Protestant Governor of Maryland), William Burdett, William Andrews, John
Wilkins, Alexander Mountray, Edward Drews, William Beniman and Stephen
Charlton.

Captain Thomas Graves died between November 1635 when he was witness
to a deed and 5 Jan. 1636 when suit was entered against a servant to Mrs.
Graves (Adventurers of Purse and Person, pp. 188-189). His birth date is not
known, but is believed to be about 1580. That would have made him only
about 55 years of age at his death.

Very little is known about Katherine, wife of Capt. Thomas Graves. Her maiden
name may have been Croshaw. (There was a Raleigh Chroshaw, Gent., who
arrived with the second supply with Thomas Graves.) Just when she came to
Virginia is not recorded. She and her children are not included in the 1625
census of the Eastern Shore, although Capt. Thomas Graves is. The patent
granted to John Graves (son of Capt. Thomas Graves) on Aug. 9, 1637 states
that the 600 acres granted to him in Elizabeth City was "due in right of descent
from his father Thomas Graves, who transported at his own cost himself,
Katherine Graves his wife, John Graves the patentee, and Thomas Graves, Jr.,
and 8 persons." (Cavaliers and Pioneers, Nugent.) The 50 acres assigned for
each person transported shows they came after 1616. The other 8 persons
transported did not include any members of Capt. Graves' family. The girls,
Ann, Verlinda, and Katherine obviously came later, and Francis was born in
Virginia. The last reference to Mrs. Graves shows her living at the Old
Plantation, Accomac, as of May 20, 1636.

Since Captain Thomas Graves had been active in the affairs of Virginia from
his arrival, the absence of any mention of him during certain periods indicate
he had returned to England. This is also confirmed by patents issued to him
and to others in which he is mentioned. Mrs. Hiden stated: "Even a cursory
reading of Northampton (formerly Accomack) records reveals how frequent
were the trips to England, Ireland, Holland, and New England" of those living
on the Eastern Shore. Mrs. Hiden also stated (R-909, p. 34): "We know from
the land patents that Capt. Thomas Graves made several trips out of the
country, to England presumably, and on one of his return voyages his family
accompanied him."

Thomas Graves was probably unmarried when he arrived in Virginia in 1608.
He was young, and adventure was probably the reason for his coming to
Virginia. He was obviously educated, of some "social status" and financial
means, and a leader.

It is likely that he returned to England, possibly in Oct. 1609, either on the
same ship with Captain John Smith (who left Virginia for England for treatment
of his wounds resulting from an explosion), or on one of the other seven ships
which arrived in Virginia in August 1609. In that way he would have missed the
"Starving Time" of the winter of 1609-10, which so few survived.

He may have then married in England in about 1610, fathered John Graves
and Thomas Graves, remained in England for several years, and returned to
Virginia prior to the formation of Smythe's Hundred in 1617, or possibly a little
later. It is known that he was "entreated to take charge of the people and
workes" at Smythe's Hundred in April 1619, and was there then.

Also, there is no record of his being in Virginia after the meeting of the
Burgesses in July-August of 1619 until he is shown as living on the Eastern
Shore in 1623. It seems reasonable that he was in England at the time of the
Indian Massacre of March 1622, and upon returning to Virginia settled on the
Eastern Shore where it was less perilous to live. The fact that he fathered
three children, the girls, during this period certainly lends support to his being
in England. (R-14, R-901, R-915)"

Thomas GRAVES
Katherine CROSHAW

"Thomas Graves, (ca 1580 - 1635) gentleman, arrived in Virginia in October of
1608 on the ship "Mary and Margaret" with Captain Christopher Newport's
second supply. He paid 25 pounds for two shares in the London Company of
Virginia and thereby was entitled to 200 acres (0.81 km2).
Thomas Graves was one of the original Adventurers (stockholders) of the
Virginia Company of London, and one of the very early Planters (settlers) who
founded Jamestown, Virginia, the first permanent English settlement in North
America. He was also the first known person named Graves in North America.
Captain Thomas Graves is listed as one of the original Adventurers as
"Thomas Grave" on page 364, Records of the Virginia Company of London,
vol. IV.

Captain Thomas Graves settled at Smythe's Hundred, situated on the north
shore of the James River ten miles from Jamestown.

Governor George Yardley writing to Sir Edwin Sandys soon after April 29, 1619
of the affairs of Smythe's Hundred tells of a duel between Captain William
Epes and Captain Stallings, in which Stallings was killed. This was the first
duel between Englishmen in America. Captain Epes was placed under arrest
and the governor placed Captain Graves in charge.

Capt. Thomas Graves was a member of the First Legislative Assembly in
America, and, with Mr. Walter Shelley, sat for Smythe's Hundred when they met
at Jamestown, Virginia on July 30, 1619.[1] His name appears on a
monument to the first House of Burgesses which stands at Jamestown
today.

Smythe's Hundred was abandoned after the Indian uprising of 1622. The next
record of Captain Graves showed him living on the Eastern Shore by February
16, 1623.

On February 8, 1627, Captain Francis West, Governor of Virginia, ordered that
Thomas Graves have a commission to command the Plantation at Accomac.
Graves was the second Commander. As an "Ancient Planter" he received one
of the first patents there on March 14, 1628, consisting of 200 acres (0.81
km2). He lived on Old Plantation Creek, now in Northhampton County, Virginia
and served as Commissioner for Accomac in 1629.

Captain Graves and three others represented the Eastern Shore in the
Assembly of 1629‑30. He served again as a burgess in 1632. Because he
was designated as "Esquire" on January 6, 1635, he may have been a
member of the Council.

Captain Thomas Graves, Esquire, was recorded as being a Justice at a court
held for Accomac County on April 13, 1635.

He died between November 1635, when he witnessed a deed, and 5 Jan
1636 when suit was entered for Mrs. Graves concerning theft by a servant
(Adventurers of Purse and Person, pp. 188- 189). He was survived by his wife,
Katherine, and six children: John, Thomas, Ann, Verlinda, Katherine and
Francis. [edit] Cherokees named Graves

William Solomon Graves was a full-blooded Cherokee whose parents died on
the Trail of Tears. His name appears in the Guion-Miller rolls along with other
Cherokees with the surname Graves. The Graves family was kind enough to
adopt the young boy into their family. The full family chronology of this branch
of the family is not available on the website of the Graves Family Association
which is geared toward the English-Irish heritage. The non-white
descendents are not recognized by this group as they do not share the
bloodline." [edit] References

Katherine CROSHAW
"Very little is known about Katherine, wife of Capt. Thomas Graves. Her
maiden name may have been Croshaw. (There was a Raleigh Chroshaw,
Gent., who arrived with the second supply with Thomas Graves.) Just when
she came to Virginia is not recorded. She and her children are not
included in the 1625 census of the Eastern Shore, although Capt. Thomas
Graves is." --Graves Family Association

"On 9 Aug. 1637, John Graves patented 600 acres in Elizabeth City County
near the upper end of the Back River, "due in right of descent upon his father
Thomas Graves who transported at his own costs himself, Katherine Graves,
his wife, sons John Graves, the patentee, and Thomas Graves, Jr., and 8
persons, Henry Singleton, Thomas Edge, Robert Phillips, Thomas Griggs,
Thomas Phillips, Francis White, William Symber, Jone Packett." This patent is
proof that Capt. Thomas Graves did not bring his family until after 1616, for
had they come earlier they would all have been "Ancient Planters" and entitled
to 100 acres each instead of 50 acres. This patent was near the lands of Capt.
Adam Thoroughgood and east of the dwelling of Ohner Van Kirk. In 1638 and
1639 the received additional patents." --Graves Family Association"

"Adventurers of Purse and Person: Virginia 1607-1624/5, John Frederick
Dorman (Fourth Edition
2005):

"Thomas Graves came to Virginia in the Mary and Margaret and is listed
among those arriving in the second supply, 1608. Shortly after his arrival,
while on an exploring expedition, he was taken captive by the Indians who
held him in Opecancanough's town subject to an uncertain fate when a
timely rescle was effected by Ensign Thomas Savage. [Thus, he was saved
from the savages by a Savage!]

An undated letter from Governor Yeardley to Sir Edwin Sandys concerning
Smythe's (Southampton) Hundred, written after 29 April 1619, recites
circumstances of the affair between Capt. William Epes, Commander, and
Capt. Stallings in which the latter was slain and the former placed under
arrest, and states "I have entreated Capt. Graves, and Antient officer of this Co
[mpa]ny to take charge of the people and the workes." Capt. Graves was sent
as one of two representatives from Smythe's Hundred to the first
Representative Legislative Assembly which convened at Jamestown,
30 July 1619.

As a member of the Virginia Company, Capt. Graves had agreed to transport
100 persons to Virginia and accordingly was allowed a patent for land, 20 Nov.
1622. His grant for 200 acres "on the Easterne side of the Shoare of the bay of
Chesepeacke [Eastern Shore] and abutting Southerly on the Land of Capt.
Henry Fleete" is of record, 14 March 1628/9, and recites that the land was due
him "by vertue of an Adventure" of L. 25 paid to "Sir Thomas Smith, late
Tresurer for the Company of virginia." A tract of 100 acres due to Capt.
Thomas Grayes "for his per[sonal] devident as being an Ancient Planter" was
assigned to Capt. Thomas Purifye 29 February 1631.

Capt. Graves, referred to as Esquire in the Accomack-Northampton County
court records, was appointed commander of the "Plantation of Accawmacke"
by the General Court, 8 Feb. 1627/8, and headed the list of commissioners at
the first extant court of record held for Accawmack, 7 Jan 1633/4. He served as
Burgess to the Assembly, 1630 and 1632, and was a member of the first
vestry of the parish, 14 Sept. 1635. His death occurred between Nov. 1635,
when he was witness to a deed, and 5 Jan. 1635/6, when suit was entered
against a "servant to Mrs. Graves."

Thomas Graves married Katherine ___________ who, with his two sons,
came to Virginia after 1616, as is shown in a patent granted to John, 9 Aug.
1637, reciting that the 600 acres granted to
him in Elizabeth City was "due . . . in Right of descent from his Father Thomas
Graves, whoe transported at his owne proper costs . . . himselfe, Katherine
Graves, his wife, John Graves the pattentee and Thomas Graves, Junr. and
eight persons. Mrs Graves was living at the "Old Plantation," 20 May 1636.

"The important families of Greaves, of Мдуfield Hall, County Stafford ; Greaves
of Page Hall and Elmsall Lodge. County Bucks ; and others, trace their
descendants from the ancient Derbyshire family. A branch of the family settled
in York at a very early day. Hugh, brother of John of Beamsley, third in the
Mickleton family, was M. P. for York in several parliaments, sheriff of York in
1559; M. P. of the same, 1570-71. and lord mayor of York in 1578. John was
lord mayor of York m 1570, married daughter of Gervase Greenhurst, of
Greenhurst County, Lancaster, and had sons : John, Jr., Hugh. William,
Thomas and Anthony. John, Jr., became mayor of Hull in 1598, and was the
father of sons : Hugh ; Thomas, who had sons John and Thomas; Benjamin;
John. Anthony, son of John, mayor of York, was sword-bearer of York. He had
a son Thomas.

Many of the descendants of the different branches of the family went, from time
to time, to London and other cities in Great Britain, and to the colonies, and
notably to the American colonies, in the score of years from 1629 to 1649.

THE GRAVES FAMILY. CREST, COAT OF ARMS AND MOTTOES.

"The distinctive arms of the Graves family are ''Gu. an eagle displayed or.
ducally crowned arg." The crest: "A demieagle displayed and erased or.
enfiled round the body and below the wings by a ducal coronet arg." By the
alliance of members of the family with other families, and the marshalling of
different arms in the same composition, variations are
frequently found; they almosti invariably retain, however, as quarter- ings, the
distinctive arms of the family, the eagle displayed or. Various mottoes have
been adopted, some of which have been used by the members of the family
exclusively, and others by this and other families. The following are the
mottoes used, 35 far as can be ascertained, and translations: "Aquila non
captat Muscas," or "Aquila non capit Muscas;" (The Eagle does not catch flies).
"Graves disce Mores;" (Learn grave manners). "Gravis dum suavis;" (Grave
while suave). "Spes mea in Dio;" (My hope is- in God). "Dum Spiro spero;"
(While I breathe I hope). "Deo non fortuna;" (Through God, not by chance).
"Esse quam videri;'' (To be rather than to seem). ''Huic habeo non tibi;" (I hold
to this one, not to thee). "Per sinum Codanum;" (Through the Gulf of Coda-
nus). ''Spero infestis metuo secundis:" (I hope in adversity, and fear in
prosperity). "Superna quarite;" (Seek things above). "Superna quaero;" (I seek
heavenly things). "Suprema quaero;" (I seek the highest).

THE GRAVES FAMILY IN ENGLAND.

The family of Graves is one of the most ancient in England. It went in with the
Norman army, and its members have been De Grevis, De Greves, Greve,
Grave, Greaves, Greeves and Graves. In the portion of Doomsday Book for
Lincolnshire it is recorded:

"In Horbelinge hbt Greve III car t-ra ad gld t-ra ad IIII car—In Draitone Hundret
hbt Greve VI bov t-ra ad gld t-ra ad VI bov." In Latin extended: "In Horbelinge
habet Greve quatuor carucatas terrae ad geldam; terra ad quatuor carucas. In
Draitone Hundred habet Greve sex bovatas terrae ad gel- dam : terra ad sex
bovas." Translated: In Horbelinge Greve
holds four caru- cates (about 400 acres) of land, for which he pays geld (civil
tax levied for support of the state) ; there is land for four ploughs;" and "In
Draitone Hundred Greve holds six bo- vates (about 75 acres) of land for which
he pays geld; there is land for six oxen."

The familv lived in early days in that part of England now known as counties
Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby and York, occupying the northern part of the three
first named and the southern part of York. The first recorded family seat was
known as Greves or Greaves, in the parish of Beeley, near Chatsworth, in the
northern part of Derbyshire, and a few
miles from the southerly boundary of York, where the family resided as early
as the reign of Henry III (1216- 1272). John Greaves, a descendant in the reign
of Elizabeth (1558-1602), became a purchaser of "Beeley," a quaint old house
with an enclosed court, on the hill above Beeley, and now known as "Hilltop,"
and it was occupied as a family seat until about 1664, when it was sold to
John, Earl of Rutland.

In the little church at Beeley, within the altar rails, is a fine flat stone on which
are cut the coat of arms of the family, the motto "Superna Quaero," and the
following inscription:

"This marble stone doth presse but not op- presse the body of John Greaves
of Greaves, Esq., who always was a true son of the church of England,
merciful and charitable to the poor, patient and courageous in a tedious
sickness, and at length, being full of faith and hope, did exchange this
troublesome world for a better, upon the I3th day of October, in the year of our
Lord 1694. Ann, his wife, b. of Geo. Bird, of Stenly Hall, Gent., ob. May. 25,
1700."

From the visitations of Derbyshire, in the College of Arms, and from Mss. in
the British Museum the following descent of the early founders of the family is
extracted : (I). John de la Greves. (2). Hugo de la Grevis, vixit temp. Henry III
(1216- 1272). (3) William de la Grevis, filius Hugonis, temp. Edward I (1272-
ly*7)- (4) Egidrus de la Greves, Letitia uxor ejus, 1316. (5) Thomas de la
Greves, filius Egi- dri, temp. Edward III (1327-1377). (6) Johannes de la
Grevis, fil. Thomas, fil. Egidri, temp. Edward III. (7) John. (8) William and wife
Agnes. (9) John, 1497; buried December 30, 1546. (10) John of Greaves;
buried December 3°> *595- (n) John of Greaves and Beeley. (12) John of
Greaves, Beeley and Woodhouse, baptized September 17, 1581, and living
1634; had eight sons and three daughters. (13) John of Beeley; buried
February 6, 1673-74. (14) John of Stanton Hall and Biggin; born in 1644; died
without issue, October 13, 1694.

The family had early scattered over the surrounding country. As early as 1574
members of it are mentioned as at Kings Norton in Worcester county, where,
in the chapel, is found a large monument to Sir Richard Greves, Kt., with crest;
he died in 1631. In the rolls of the Exchequer Lay Subsidies for Buckingham
and Northampton counties, there are found
taxes laid against different members of the family as early as 1522, and from
that time forward. John Graves was a resident of Cleckheaton, in the parish of
Birstall, and Wapentake of Morley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, as early as
the time of Edward IV (1461-1483), and from him descended several of the

parliaments, sheriff of York in 1559; M. P. of the same, 1570-71. and lord
mayor of York in 1578. John was lord mayor of York m 1570, married daughter
