THE GRAVES FAMILY OF
YORKSHIRE AND MICKLETON MANOR, GLOUCESTERSHIRE, ENGLAND
BACKGROUND OF THE
FAMILY
The family of Graves is one of
the most ancient in England. This
family is believed to have used the name De Grava in
Bordeaux, Gascony. It went in with
the Norman army, and settled in Yorkshire. The name underwent several changes, and its members have
been De Grevis, De Greves, Greve, Grave, Greaves, Greeves,
and Graves. John de Grevis was in the army of King John. His great grandson was Thomas de les Greves.
The family lived in early days
in that part of England now known as counties Lincoln, Nottingham, Derby and
York, occupying the northern part of the three first named and the southern
part of York. The first recorded
family seat was known as Greves or Greaves, in the
parish of Beeley, near Chatsworth, in the northern
part of Derbyshire, and a few miles from the southerly boundary of York, where
the family resided as early as the reign of Henry III (1216-1272).
Also, according to John Card
Graves, the important families of Greaves, of Mayfield Hall, Co. Stafford,
Greaves of Page Hall and Elmsall Lodge, Co. Bucks,
and others, trace their descent from the ancient Derbyshire family. Many of the descendants of the different
branches of the family went, from time to time, to London and other cities in
Great Britain, and to the Colonies, and notably to the American Colonies, in
the score of years from 1629 to 1649.
(R‑1, R‑7)
Genealogy 364 is probably part
of this genealogy, but there are discrepancies between the two, and they canÕt
presently be combined.
GENERATION 1
John Graves (or Grave) (1) was
a resident of Cleckheaton, in the Parish of Birstall, and Wapentake of
Morley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire, England, as early as the time of
Edward IV (1461-1483). From him
descend several of the most prominent families in Great Britain. John married ‑‑‑‑‑‑. (R‑1)

age of 103 years, while on a visit to his son Richard Graves. He was buried 16 Sept. 1616 in St.
Martin's, Ludgate. There is a fine portrait of him by Cornelis
Janson on a panel in Mickleton
House, painted when he was in his 102nd year, and an engraving of him when 102
years old, in Nash's History of
Worcestershire. His wife was a
daughter of Mensier (or Manseur
or Manseir) of Creke, Co.
Norfolk. (There is a discussion on
page xxiv of John Card Graves' book which seems to
give a different version, although it could be referring to another John.) Arms: Checky, Argent and Sable, crusilly,

It is the opinion of Mr. L. F.
Greaves (R‑8) that this part of the family is descended from the Greaves
family of Beeley, Derbyshire. Published articles that he sent show
the surname of sons John and Thomas spelled Greaves, not Graves. (R‑1, R‑4)

there is a large window at the front and at the rear of the chapel, and four
windows on each side. His coat of
arms is on the first window on the right side, nearest the altar of the chapel,
in the rightmost of four panels in that window.) These arms had been used by his family for generations and
are the same as those granted 1591 to the Graves family of Cleckheaton.
He first married Eleanor Bates,
daughter of Thomas Bates of London, Gentleman. He secondly married Elizabeth Robinson, daughter of John
Robinson, Esq., Governor of Gravesend and Tilburyport. He had 19 children;

highly distinguished naval officer, and second in command to Lord Nelson at
Copenhagen.
An interesting article[1]
about Thomas Graves was in The Virginia
Magazine of History and Biography, vol. 99, no. 4, Oct. 1991, titled
"Burnt all their houses, The log of HMS Savage during a raid up the
Potomac River, Spring, 1781", edited by Fritz Hirschfeld. After service aboard the Racehorse in 1773 on a voyage of
discovery in the Arctic, Sir Thomas Graves was posted to North America. On 27 May 1775 his schooner Diana was burned by
rebels in the Charles River, and he was seriously injured. This article is about the only
organized raid by the Royal Navy up the Potomac River during the Revolutionary
War. It took place in the spring
of 1781, and the home of George Washington, Mount Vernon, narrowly escaped the
fate of many neighboring estates, of being burned and looted. The original log of HMS Savage kept by Thomas Graves was found
in the naval archives of the Public Record Office in London, and a photocopy
was presented to Mount Vernon.

CHILDREN OF JOHN B. GRAVES
(83)
Anna Graves (146) was born 1830
in Ireland, and died in 1917. She
married Charles Murray in 1853 in Kandy, then capital of Ceylon, where her
father was a judge in the Government Service. He was 35 at the time (born about 1818), and they must have
decided to leave Ceylon. Their
first child was born in 1854 in Bangalore, India, the next in Paddington,
London in 1856, the next 2 in Sutton, Surrey, and the remainder at Kingsclere, Hampshire.
In the April 1861 census
Charles is listed as tenant of Woodhouse Farm, Kingsclere. The farm was not large, 210 acres, but
was on a good site in the Thames Valley on the border between Hampshire and
Berkshire. The census lists a
living-in Bailiff, groom, four labourers, two
carters, and three boys.
The house was big and it seemed
that Charles lived a leisured gentleman's life. His will refers to horses, carriages, wine and silver, and
his eldest son, Charles Templeton, remembers carrying his father's game
bag. In the 1871 census, all the
children are listed except for Archibald James who was probably away at school. Charles Templeton is shown and it is
possible that he was at home as he was a day student at nearby Bradfield
College. A nurse and nursemaid are
listed attending to the seven girls.
Charles left £35,000 in his will which is long and detailed and contains 3
codicils. He was concerned on two
points, firstly to leave his wife properly settled and secondly to ensure
absolute equal distribution of the remainder amongst his nine surviving
children. To this extent, and
advance of cash to any son while he was still alive was to be set against his
final inheritance. This was
probably inspired by an advance to Charles Templeton to sail for Australia.
The original will was made in
1869 and contained details as to the disposal of Woodhouse Farm. The First Codicil came in 1874 while
Charles was staying at 1 Sussex Gardens, Eastbourne,
having left Woodhouse, possibly after a heart attack. The address on the second codicil (1876) was Holm Leigh,
Belvedere, and it refers to the purchase of Brentwood House, Lee Park, Blackheath, Kent, where the third codicil was made
(1879). Charles was unable to sign
this and his mark was made for him.
He died 20 April 1879, and was buried in Highgate
Cemetery, grave 23244, alongside Anna and two of his children, Archibald and
Sydney. Warden Harry Graves, his
brother-in-law, remembers his as: "as good a man as ever walked."
Brentwood House in Blackheath remained the family home until sometime in the
late 1890's. All the daughters had
married by 1891, except for Geraldine, who remained a spinster. Anna is listed in Kelley's Blackheath Directory in 1894 but not in
1899. Anna is also listed in the
1881 and 1891 Blackheath census, where the house is
named as No. 22 Lee Park. It seems
to have been a very exclusive area, the other houses being occupied by retired
senior military and civil officers.
