John GRAVES
Dorothy Elizabeth PERRIN
"Death was betw 29 May 1639 when he patented land, and 30 Apr 1640 when Wm. Parry was
named Administrator and bond was made (Northampton Co, Book 2, p 281)1 CLERY
Capt. Roper, Wm. Cotton and Capt Stone, brothers-in-law of John GRAVES and administrators
of the estate of Capt Thomas GRAVES, were originally appointed administrators of John
GRAVES' estate, but in April 1640, they resigned and Wm Parry was appointed (Information
copied from GRAVES Family Assoc web site)
John GRAVES seems to have been the only one of his name in the county. Because most of
the early records were destroyed, very little information is available about him, but land records
and patents do reveal some facts.
On 9 Aug 1637, John GRAVES patented 600 acres in Elizabeth City Co. 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, he received additional patents.
The holdings of John GRAVES was near the York County line and almost directly opposite
Hungar's Creek in Northampton Co. (formerly Accawmacke) on the Eastern shore where his
father had lived and where his sisters were still living at that time.
