Son of Samuel Graves, he was thought to have been born in Northern Ireland where his grandfather, Captain James Graves (1654–1689), who married a daughter of Sir John Herdman of Stannington, lived, before he was robbed of his regiment's wages and murdered in his bed. Graves joined the Royal Navy in 1732.〔(Samuel Graves at Oxford Dictionary of National Biography )〕 Made lieutenant in 1739,〔 he participated in the 1741 expedition against Cartagena,〔 serving on the frigate ''Norfolk'', under his uncle and future admiral, Captain Thomas Graves. Samuel Graves’s cousin Thomas, Captain Graves’s son and also future admiral, served alongside him on the third-rate ship-of-the-line Norfolk (80). Promoted to command of the sloop ''Bonetta'' in 1743, Graves served in the West Indies until 1747, commanding ''Ripon’s Prize'', and, later, ''Enterprise''.〔
