Capt Thomas Graves came to America on the Mary and Margaret vessel in 1608. Sent as one of two Representatives of Smythe's Hundred to the first Representative Legislature Assembly which convened at Jamestown, on July 30, 1619. He represented Smythe's Hundred in the First House of Burgesses 1619 was at Burgesses from Accomack 1630-32 designated as Esquire Jan 9, 1634; also a member of council (Accomack Records 1632-40 page #30)CAPT. GRAVES settled on the Eastern Shore at Hungar's Creek in what is today ACCOMACK and NORTHAMPTON Counties, VA. As a representative of SMYTHE'S HUNDRED of the Eastern Shore he was in the House of Burgess at Jamestown on 7/30/1619 one of the first American Legislative bodies. He served as second commander of the Plantation of Accomack, as a Justice of the Peace, and as Burgess for Accomack in 1629, 1632, and 1637. He died prior to Aug 9, 1637.
A Deed in Northampton in 1637 by JOHN GRAVES states that, "his father, THOMAS GRAVES transported at his own expense himself, his wife KATHERINE GRAVES, JOHN GRAVES, the patentee, and THOMAS GRAVES, JR. as well as eight other persons into Virginia."
From Virginia and Maryland colonial records of CAPT. THOMAS GRAVES and his wife, KATHERINE, were the parents of the following children: (1) JOHN GRAVES, b ca 1605, md ELIZABETH, d 1640, left descendants; (2) THOMAS GRAVES, b ca 1617 r in Gloucester Co., VA left descendants; (3) ANN GRAVES (her account will follow); (4) VERLINDA GRAVES md prior to 1640 CAPT. WILLIAM STONE, (later became GOVERNOR of MARYLAND) d 1675 in Charles Co., MD, left descendants; (5) KATHERINE GRAVES md/1
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.
