Benjamin Graves was a member of Capt. Thomas Wheeler's company of Concord men who fought against the Indians in the Colonial Wars in July and August, 1675. It is also noted that he was a soldier in King Philip's War in Captain Wheeler's Company and was in fights at Wicnaboag Pond and Brookfield on 16 August 1675. He served in Groton in Feb. 1675-1676, and his name appears again on the payroll 24 August 1676. He served in King Philip's War September 28, 1675, and February 29, 1676.

Benjamin Graves and his brother John Graves of Sudbury, Massachusetts, and others, purchased land at Groton, Massachusetts. The deed reads as follows:

"I, Christopher Hall of the town of Groton in the County of Middlesex...convey...unto Hezekiah Usher of Boston, Caleb Church of Watertown, John Graves of Sudbury, Joseph Dane of Concord, John Ball of Watertown, Daniel Meetup of Watertown, Benjamin Graves of Concord, Joseph Grew of Watertown, Jacob Bullard of Watertown, and Samuell Church of Groton in New England, unto all of them, jointly and severally, their heirs and assigns forever...all the mines and minerals of one kind and another found or that may be found in my tracts or parcells of land in said Groton lying and being at a place commonly called Cold Spring, near William Longley's house, and I do covenant with the same Hezekiah Usher, Caleb Church and the other above named parties that they have liberty to dig, delve, or make use of any part of the above property and to erect buildings, " ...this 25th day of May 1681. signed Christopher Hall, Sarah Hall. Entered May 28, 1681.

Benjamin Graves did not move to Groton, but continued to live in Concord until at least 1684. A list of the 2nd order of proprietors of Concord in 1694 lists "David Commee, the living where Benjamin Graves lived in the year 1684".

Benjamin Graves moved to Saybrook, Connecticut, and in 1703, where he purchased from Nicholas Stoughton of Colchester, Connecticut, one-half of the home lot which Stoughton bought with William Shipman at a place called Pottaconk "whenever the division of which ever part is agreed upon is made, Stoughton to have first choice;" also the one-half of eleven acres planting land L18, 10s. The division was recorded October 16, 1704.

Old Saybrook was divided into three parts. The northern part was called Pattaconke (also spelled Pataconke and Pattaquonck). "The committee for highway improvements were to lay out a good and sufficient highway to the 'Great River' at the northward side of ye land formerly owned by Benjamin Graves in Pattaconke", action taken at Saybrook, 5 January 1724/5.

Old Saybrook is on the south shore of Connecticut, on Long Island Sound, at the mouth of the Connecticut River. Pattaconke was about 7 miles north of the mouth of the Connecticut River when a part of Saybrook. It is now the town of Chester, Connecticut.

On March 18, 1715, Benjamin Graves, for love and affection to son Joseph (of Saybrook) deeded one-half of the farm I now dwell upon--the westerly half.

On November 4, 1716, Benjamin Graves, yeoman, deeded to his son John of Killingworth, Connecticut, "for love and good will to his loving son John, now resident of Killingworth, a messuage or tenement at Pottaconk, with all the buildings, etc., bounded westerly by the land of Joseph Graves, it being understood that Benjamin is to retain the life use of the same." John sold this property in 1724.

He and his brother John Graves of Sudbury, MA, with others, purchased on 20 May 1681 from Christopher Hall "all the mines and minerals of one kind or another found or to be found or that may be found on his land in Groton, MA at a place called Cold Spring near William Longby's house, with liberty to dig, delve or use the land and to erect buildings etc." Benjamin Graves did not move to Groton but continued to live at Concord until after 1681, and all his children except the last one were born at Concord (according to Concord Register, Book 1).

Benjamin was apparently still living in Concord in 1684, since on a list of the second order of proprietors (in 1745) is included "David Comee, then living where Benjamin Graves lived in the year 1684."

He moved to Saybrook, CT and lived at Pattaconke (northern part of Saybrook), where he bought land 25 Jan. 1703. He deeded half of his farm to his son Joseph on 18 March 1715, and certain lands to his son John of Killingworth, CT on 14 Sept. 1716.

The following records were found regarding Benjamin:

November 4, 1716, Benjamin Graves, yeoman, for love and good will to loving son John, now resident of Killingworth, amessuage or tenement at Pottaco nk, with all the buildings, etc., bounded westerly by land of Joseph Graves, it being understood that Benjamin is to retain the life use of thesame. (John sold the property in 1724.)

March 18, 1715, Benjamin Graves for love and affection to son Joseph deeded one-half the farm where I now dwell the westerly half (R-9).

Old Saybrook was divided into three parts. The northern part was called Pattaconke (also spelled Pataconke and Pattaquonck). "The committee for highway improvements were to lay out a good and sufficient highway to the 'Great River' at the northward side of ye land formerly owned by Benjamin Graves in Pattaconke", action taken at Saybrook, 5 Jan. 1724/5.

Old Saybrook is on the south shore of Connecticut, on Long Island Sound, at the mouth of the Connecticut River. Pattaconke was about 7 miles north of the mouth of the Connecticut River when a part of Saybrook. It is now the town of Chester, CT.

Killingworth is about 5 miles west of Chester, and was originally a part of Clinton, CT until 1836. Clinton is on the south shore of Connecticut about 5 miles south of Killingworth, CT. The land in this area is hilly and rolling, with forests. The births of all the children except John were recorded in Concord Register, Book 1.
