From gravesfa.org:

They settled on a farm given him by his father (father was Ralph Graves, b 26 October 1764 and m. Elizabeth Briggs Graves), located about two miles from the latter's home in Granville Co. Their parents also gave them 20 negroes and a supply of horses and cattle. In addition to farming, he had a large private school.

They must have moved to Orange Co., N.C. about 1817 (unless the county boundaries changed), since their first 3 children were born in Granville Co., N.C., but the others were born in Orange Co., N.C., with the 5th through the 9th child born at Longmeadow, N.C. (R-915)
