p.315 Capt Thomas Graves Sr ... (Note: He appears to have been the same “Thomas Graves of Doublin in the Realme of Ireland, to whom a patent was granted in VA, 20 Nov 1622, and who was one of several who had “... undertaken to transport 100 persons apiece to VA” (Records of the VA Company of London, 1906-1934, vol. II, p.132, by Kingsbury)) ....
We do know that about 1621, he was captured by the Indians, who would have killed him but for the intervention of Capt John Smith, who sent Ensign Thomas Savage to rescue him.
Capt Graves lived at Jamestown, in the early years, of course, but he was living in Smythe’s Hundred by early 1619, when Governor Yeardley “...entreated Capt Graves an Antient officer of this Co(map)ny to take charge of the people and the works”.
It has been said that Capt Graves was living “on the Eastern Shore” (Accawmacke Co, VA), “the following year” (1620), and he was certainly there at the time of the muster of 1624/5; and in Feb 1627/8, the General Court appointed him “Commander of the Plantation of Accawmacke”. He was a member of the Quorum, in Jan 1632/3, when his name headed the list of Commissioners (Justices), at the first extant court of record, held for Accawmacke. He continued in the latter capacity until about the time of his death, and was also appointed a member of the first vestry of Hungar’s Parish, there, in Sep 1635.
