JOHN GRAVES was born in England about 1605. It is claimed that he was christened in the Parish of Beeley in Derbyshire, and that he died in 1704 in Connecticut; however, the evidence for both these claims is unknown or nonexistent and therefore the claims (especially for the place of christening) are suspect.
JOHN GRAVES came to America with his wife in 1635 and settled in Concord, Middlesex, MA. He belonged
to the church where Rev. Peter Buckley (sometimes spelled Bulkly) was a teacher. He was one of the
signers of the petition to the General Court of Massachusetts in 1643 in favor of Ambrose Martin, and in
1644 his name was attached to a document pledging its signers, which included nearly every head of a
family in Concord, to the support of the government.
