His mother was identified as widow Katheryn Raby who in 1637 said she was going to join her son in New England. She was the Katheryn Grafton who married Robert Raby in 1613 and may also may have been mother to Ann Scarlet of Great Yarmouth who later described Joseph Grafton as "brother" in her will of 1642 at Salem.
