Identity of First Wife Unknown
There has been speculation about the identity of the first wife of George Grave[1][2], but it doesn't appear that there is any solid evidence for her even her first name[3], let alone her surname.

p. 24: '"Deacon" George Graves was married twice. The IGI (BO142) lists a marriage of George Grave and "Anne Kyne" on 21 Sept. 1623, co. Herts., "Much Haddam." The second marriage was to Sarah Ventres (Kenneth Graves) who was the mother-in-law of Deacon's son George. It seems probable that George-2 and John-2 were born in England, based on the fact that Deacon George first appears in the Charlestowne records in 1634.'
Note: This article claims that the 1675 will of Anne Grave of St Botolph without Aldgate, which mentions George and John Grave (sons of Deacon George Grave) and "their own natural sister, living also in New England", proves that Abigail Graves was the daughter of Deacon George Grave. However a 2007 article by Eben W Graves in NEHGR (161:245-249) claims that Deacon George had 3 daughters (Priscilla, Sarah, and Mary) of whom only Mary survived him, and provides evidence that the sister mentioned was Mary.
