Jam Raval was son of Jam Lakhoji, the chief of Tera branch of Cutch, which was younger to the elder branch of Lakhiarviro, whose ruler at that time was Jam Hamirji.

It is believed that Jam Rawal attributed the murder of his father Jam Lakhoji to Hamirji, as he was killed within the territory of Lakhiarviro by Deda Tamiachi upon instigation of Hamirji.
