An undated letter from Governor Yeardley to Sir Edwin Sandys concerning Smythe's (Southampton) Hundred, written after 29 Apr 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 arest, and states "I have entreated Capt. Graves, an Antient officer of this Company 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.

Anecdote     20 Nov 1622 [2]
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 Mar 1628/9, and recites that the land was due him "by vertue of an Adventure" of £25 paid to "Sir Thomas Smith, late Tresurer of the Company of Virginia." A tract of 100 acres due to Capt. Thomas Grayes "for his personal devident as being an Ancient Planter" was assigned to Capt. Thomas Purifye 29 Feb 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 1627/28, and headed the list of commissioners at the first extant court of record held for Accawmack, 7 Jan 1633/4.
