His paternal grandparents were William Graves , Capt. Bouldin and Elizabeth Purnell Hammond; his maternal grandfather was Thomas U. Bouldin and his maternal grandmother is Mary Ann Dedman.

Thomas Graves was only four years old when his mother died. He was known to be partially deaf, ostensibly due to measles at an early age. He continued to live with his father and subsequent step-mother, Elizabeth Browning Bouldin, until 1871, when he went out on his own as a farmer. He owned a small farmstead of 139 acres in Austin County, Texas near the town of Kenney. Other than a short period of residency in Burnet County between 1878 and 1880, most of his activity took place in Washington, Austin and Colorado Counties, prior to leaving for Taylor County about 1905. It is said that he used a "horn" to enhance his hearing and this unusual sight aroused much curiosity. He reportedly felt great humiliation when spurned by a widow he was attracted to when she and her copanions whispered and laughed about his affectation to her. Shortly after this occurrence he was found at his home, having hung himself in a desperate state of depression.
