DESCENDANTS OF ROBERT
GREEVES OF GREAT DALBY, LEICESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND
GENERATION 1
Robert Greeves (1) married Isabell ‑‑‑‑‑‑. They were of Dalby Chacombe, co.
Leicester. His will was proved 6 Sept.
1593 at Leicester. After Robert died,
Isabell married William Mabbes on 11 Dec. 1595.
It is possible that the Greeves
family had lived in the vicinity of Melton Mowbray for some time. There was a Richard Greeves who was married
in 1557, possibly Robert’s father or other relative.
The surname is spelled variously
Greeves, Greves, Greaves, and later Graves, in the records. This does not indicate lack of relationship,
and was caused by names being written phonetically, and a lack of concern for
the exact spelling.
The will of Robert Greeves is found
in Leic. Wills, 1593, no. 94.
Roberte Greeves of Dalby Chacombe. Dated 5 August 1593.

Robert Greaves (2) was possibly

that date a daughter, Elizabeth Greves, was born to him. The children listed below are probably his,
since they are listed in the Great Dalby parish register at the right time, and
