      DESCENDANTS OF THOMASGRAVES OF NAHANT & LYNN, MA
       
       
      GENERATION 1
       
      Thomas Graves (1) was apparentlyborn in the early 1600's in England. By the depositions of various individuals who testified in the contestover the Nahant lands, it is shown that one Thomas Graves was the firstinhabitant of Nahant, and Hugh Alley (his son-in-law) the second.
      According to History of Lynn, by Lewis and Newhall, "William Wood came toLynn in 1629, and was admitted a freeman 18 May, 1631.  He resided there, according to his ownaccount, about four years; and during that time he wrote an interesting work,entitled "New Englands Prospect," containing a very favorable accountof the early settlements.  On 15August, 1633, he sailed with Captain Thomas Graves, for London, where, in 1634,he printed his book, in one hundred pages.  In 1635, he published a map of New England, engraved onwood.  He returned to Lynn the sameyear.  He embarked on the eleventhof September, in the Hopewell, of London, being then 27 years of age; bringingwith him his wife, Elizabeth, aged 24 years, as appears by the records inWestminster Hall, London."
      It is possible that this Capt.Thomas Graves was the Thomas Graves of Nahant and Lynn.  A puzzling observation is that the onlyCapt. Thomas Graves who is known to have made numerous voyages between NewEngland and England was the one who lived in Charlestown, MA, and later becameRear Admiral.  However, theevidence does not seem to fit, as mentioned in the last paragraph.
      There was also supposedly a ThomasGraves of Dorchester, about whom almost nothing is known. Could this be the onereferred to in the undated account written by Gov. John Winthrop of theMassachusetts Bay Colony about a Thomas Graves who went from Mass. To Virginiawith his family, and all were lost at sea except for one daughter who marriedNathaniel Eaton.  (Although theThomas Graves whose daughter married Nathaniel Eaton was the one of genealogy169, which doesn’t make apparent sense, perhaps Winthrop confused two men ofthe same name.)
      In Sept. 1635 (or Nov. 1629), MaryGraves and her sister Joanna Graves arrived in Salem, Mass., in the ship"Hopewell".  These twowere the children of Thomas Graves, as they went to Nahant where Thomas wassettled.
      There has been some speculationthat Thomas Graves was the same as or connected with: (1) Capt. Thomas Gravesof VA (gen. 169), (2) Thomas Graves, the engineer who planned Charlestown,Mass. (gen. 131, and may be the same as gen. 168), (3) Thomas Graves whosettled in Newcastle Co., Delaware (gen. 85), and (4) Thomas Graves who settledin Hartford, CT and later in Hatfield, MA (gen. 168).  Because so little is known of exact dates for the Thomas ofNahant, it is not absolutely impossible that he could have been the same as theThomas of Va.  It is also possiblethat Thomas, the engineer, went to Charlestown, moved to Boston, was involvedwith the unsuccessful settlement in the Bahamas, may have returned to Nahantand been followed by his two daughters, and then may have either returned toEngland or possibly moved to Delaware. The Thomas Graves of Delaware is thought by some to have come from Lynn,Mass., but the suggested date of the move is about 1690, much too late to havebeen any of the other known men named Thomas Graves.  Also, Thomas of Delaware was a Quaker, which does not seemto fit any of the others.
      It is also interesting that HughAlley who married Mary Graves, the daughter of Thomas of Nahant, was fromStepney parish in England, the same place that Rear Admiral Thomas Graves ofCharlestown, Mass. was from. However, it seems unlikely that Thomas of Nahantwas the same as Rear Admiral Thomas Graves; neither a Mary nor a Joanna werementioned in the 1652 will of Rear Admiral Thomas Graves.  More research on all thesepossibilities is needed, but the possible connections are veryinteresting.  (R‑3, R‑200,R‑201)
