    Thomas Graves (43) was born 21 Nov. (or 22 Oct.) 1690 in Hatfield, Mass., and died about 1 Jan. 1713/14. He died sometime between 11 Dec. 1713, the date of his will, and 5 Jan. 1713/14, the date his widow exhibited an inventory of her husband's estate. His will named his wife and only child.
    He married Sarah Morgan, daughter of Thomas Morgan and Rachel Merry. She was baptized 24 May 1696 in Hartford, Conn., and died 3 May 1718. She died before completing the final accounting of Thomas Graves' estate. As a result of Sarah's death, Thomas Morgan (her father) was appointed legal guardian of Deliverance Graves, a minor (Early Connecticut Probate Records, Hartford District, 1635-1750, II, p. 209; original records, vol. IX, p. 78). Sarah secondly married Jobannah Smith on 26 Sept. 1714.
