THE GREAVES FAMILY OF BEELEY, DERBYSHIRE, ENGLAND
GENERAL BACKGROUND OF THE GREAVES FAMILY
Charles Bardsley in his English Surnames, 1873, says Greaves, Graves, and Groves have the same origin. A greave was a woodland avenue graved or cut out of the forest.
Lysons in his Magna Britannia (Fifth vol., pub. 1817) says, "The family (Greaves of Derbyshire) took its name from a place called the Greaves or Greves in the parish of Beeley, where they resided as early as the reign of Henry III."
Burke's Commoners, 1838, says, "The family of Graves is of high antiquity, its patriarch having passed into England in the train of the Conqueror. Burke says that the family of Greaves or Greves of Mosely, Worchestershire [genealogy 236], "was founded in England by one of the Companions in the arms of the Conqueror." In the grant of arms to Richard Graves of Gloucester (the Mickleton family) last century, it says that the Gloucester Graves were descended from Graves of Heyton, Yorkshire, "near which place there is an hamlett written in ancient deeds Greava, Greva, La Greave, and Greve, now called Greaves and Graves," which without doubt gave that surname to the family.
Are we to infer that the family gave its name to the places called Greaves or that they got their name from the places? It was very unusual for a place to get its name from that of its settlers. Fully three fourths of the old landed families in England whose records date back to before the fourteenth century, when surnames began to be common, derive their family names from their places of settlement.
Burke goes on to say, "The first of its members, however, of whom we possess any authentic record is ----- Les Greaves who was settled at Beeley and Greaves as early as the time of Henry I (years 1100-1135), from which time until the end of the seventeenth century, his descendants continued to reside there. In 1664 the old hereditary estates at Beeley were sold to John, Earl of Rutland, and the head of the family left Beeley and settled at Mayfield, Staffordshire, where his descendants have ever since remained."
ANCESTRY OF JOHN GREAVES OF BEELEY
AND OTHER GREAVES FAMILIES, POSSIBLY RELATED
The ancestry of John Graves (b. 1540, d. 1595) is said (in Graves-Miller Genealogy, by Charles Miller Graves, 1989) to be: (1) John Grevis, b.c. 1175, (2) Hugo Grevis, b.c. 1200, (3) William Grevis, b.c. 1230, (4) Egidrus Greves, b.c. 1290, m. Leticia ------, b.c. 1295, (5) Thomas Grevis, b.c. 1315, (6) Johannis Grevis, b.c. 1340, (7) John Greves, b.c. 1395, (8) William Greeves, b.c. 1445, m. Agnes ------, b.c. 1455, (9) John Greves, b. 1497, d. 1546, (10) John Greaves, b.c. 1540, d. 1595, m. Alice Boune, b.c. 1550.
This lineage is very similar to that given by Richard Denno (R-1), summarized on the chart on the next page, except that the chart gives one more generation between William8 and John9 in the preceding list. (Much of the following discussion is also from Richard Denno.)
The beginning of the account of the Greaves family of Beeley is in the reign of the Plantagenet king of England, Henry III. William Greaves, son of Hugo, received grants of land from William of Chatsworth and the Abbott of Beauchief.
Giles Greaves and his wife Leticia inherited land in 1316, and granted land to their son Thomas in 1324.
Thomas used a seal on a document, and the heraldic device is an eagle displayed. This swift and powerful bird of prey is used by the Greaves family as a symbol and is evidence in later years of the continuity of the family line.
All records of this period are in Latin, and are legal documents, not parish registers. The will of William Greaves mentions his wife Agnes, son John, and the chapel of St. John the Baptist, Beeley.
On the evidence of the heraldic eagle, one prominent seventeenth century Greaves family is probably descended from the Greaves family of Beeley. The father of this distinguished family was Rev. John Greaves (b. 1578, d. 1616), rector of Colemore, Hampshire. He married Sara ------.
John Greaves (b. 1602, d. 1652) was his eldest son, educated at Balliol College, Oxford, and was chosen professor of geometry at Gresham College, London. He toured the Middle East, collecting Arabic, Greek and Persian manuscripts, and studied the Pyramids. He returned to Oxford and was appointed to the 2nd Savilian professorship of astronomy. He was a friend to William Harvey, and after his death his work aroused the praise of Edmond Halley.
Nicholas and Thomas Greaves, his brothers, also studied at Oxford, gaining doctorates of divinity.
Sir Edward Greaves (b. 1615, d. 1680), the youngest brother, was physician to Charles II, who conferred a baronetcy on him in 1646.
Another family which may be related to the Greaves family of Beeley is that of William Greaves (c. 1600- 1663) of Norton near Sheffield. In seven generations of his descendants there were at least 13 ministers of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Some preached the Good News in foreign lands, including the missionary Richard Pearson Greaves (c. 1825-1870) who died in Calcutta, India. A partial lineage of his descendants is: William1 Greaves, 1600-1663, William2, 1630-1697, William3, 1662-1719, Charles4, 1700-1773, George5, 1756-1837, Joseph6, 1793-1880, Richard Pearson7, 1825-1870.
Several other Graves families are recorded, and although there is no documented evidence of connection with Beeley, yet most Greaves families are in the counties of Lancashire, Yorkshire and Cheshire, and may have migrated from Derbyshire centuries ago. Maybe even Mrs. Greaves of the Rutland Arms Hotel who accidently invented the Bakewell Pudding is distantly related.
The map on the next page shows many of the locations in the vicinity of Beeley where Greaves families lived in past centuries and still live today.
GENERATION 1
John Greaves (1) was born about 1490 (or 1497) and died in 1546. He married Joanna ------. By the time their son John was 18 years old, both his father and mother were buried in Beeley. These are the earliest records of Greaves family members in the parish registers of Beeley, which were started in 1538 by command of King Henry VIII.
At the bottom of this page is a sketch of Beeley Hill Top, home of the Greaves family (owned and occupied in 1995 by the family of Mr. Rupert Turner, Beeley Hilltop, Matlock, Derbyshire DE4 2NW, England). On the next page is a summary chart of some of the descendants of this family. (R-1)

CHILDREN OF JOHN GREAVES (1) AND JOANNA ------
John Greaves (2) was born about 1539-1540 and died in 1595 (or 1614 per R-5). He married Alice Boune (or Bowne or Brown), daughter of William Boune (or Brown) of Holme, Derbyshire, England. Holme at Bakewell is about 4 miles from Beeley. They lived at Greaves. Alice was born about 1550 (not likely if her son John was born about 1553 or 1560) and died in 1592.
John farmed at Beeley as a yoeman but, on inheritance of his father’s wealth, purchased in 1560 the Manor of Beeley from Nicholas Vaux, who was at that time in trouble for his adherence to the Roman Catholic Church. The purchase included a house, later called Beeley Hill Top, which overlooks Chatsworth Park. (R-1, R-5)

GENERATION 3
CHILDREN OF JOHN GREAVES (2) AND ALICE BOUNE
John Greaves (4) was born about 1553 or 1560 (this date is suspect, based on the reported birth dates of his parents) and died in 1621 (how can this be if his will was proved in 1614?). He married Ellen (or Ellin) Slack (or Slacke), daughter of John Slack of Brough, Derbyshire. Lysons says, "John Greaves in the reign of Elizabeth was a joint purchaser of the manor of Beeley at which place they continued to reside until about 1700."
Glover, in his History of Derbyshire (ca. 1830) said Warner de Beelegh, and afterwards his son Serlo, held Beeley Manor about the reign of Richard I, and after passing to the Cheneys of Northamptonshire it came into the possession of Lord Vaux of Harrowden, whose youngest son Nicholas held it in the right of his mother and in 1560 sold it to the family of Greaves who had been settled at the Greaves from the time of Henry III. In 1687, the Greaves family sold it to the Saviles who lived at the Hill Top, formerly the Greaves. It was later the property of the Duke of Devonshire. John Greaves who married Ellen Slack had from Dean and Capter of Lichfield a lease of tithes of Curborough, Froggat, Stoke, Monsal Dale, and Longdon for the lives of himself and sons John, Richard, and Edward at a rental of £1.18.0, together with a fine (MSS pertaining to Dean of Lichfield).
John Greaves's will was proved in 1614 (Lichfield wills).

He was ejected from his living by the Parliament of 1646. John Crompton of Derby was appointed in his place. A fifth part of the benefice, in this case £15, was paid yearly by Crompton to Mrs. Greaves for the maintenance of herself and her children. William Greaves died before the Restoration, when Crompton was ejected (Cox's Annals). William's wife was the youngest daughter of Sir William Kniveton of Mercaston (created bart. in 1611), descended from Sir Matthew de Kniveton (living at Bradley Hall, 1301- ). Sir William Kniveton's wife was Matilda Rollesley, heiress of her father John, descended from Henry de Rowlesley (time of Richard I). Sir William's grandson, Sir Arthur, was the last of the family who succeeded to its splendid estates, lost all in the cause of loyalty, was governor of Tutbury Castle, was fined so heavily he was obliged to sell his estates.

GENERATION 4
CHILDREN OF JOHN GREAVES (4) AND ELLEN SLACK
John Greaves (10) was born in 1581 and died in 1643 per R-5. He married Dorothy Alleyne (or Allen), daughter of George Alleyne or Allen of Woodhouse and Barbara Vernon of Haddon. Barbara was cousin and contemporary of Dorothy Vernon, the heroine in the well known tradition of the elopement with Lord John Manners.
George Alleyne's ancestors are mentioned in deeds as having been settled in Derbyshire in 1484. "Inquisition taken at Wirksworth 10 Aug. 11 Elizabeth (b. 1569) before Andrew Haring, Eschetor after the death of Thomas Alleyn, yoman - seised in fee of land in Chappell in le Ffrith worth £4- of a moiety of the manor of Stanton Hall, of a messuage at Stanton and lands in Stanton and Stanton Lyes worth £4 and of tithes at Byrchover worth £3- held of the King as of his manors of Tutbury and Grafton. Thomas died at Stanton Lyes 19 Sept. 1563 and George Alleyn was son and heir and was 43 years of age (court of ward and Liveries)." This George was the father of George (d. 1598) and grandfather of Dorothy who married John Greaves.
Through his wife, John Greaves became possessed of Stanton Woodhouse and other properties. He was an ardent Loyalist, and in Beeley Manor House where he lived is still to be seen a finely carved Royal coat of arms over the fireplace in one of the bedrooms of the picturesque old house. (It is rumored that King James I may actually have stayed in the house.) The Revolutionary party deprived John Greaves of much of his property, and he and his wife went to live at Stanton Woodhouse (as it was then spelled). The last male representative of the family of John Greaves died at Stanton Woodhouse in 1730. This ancient house is situated on a hillside not far from Rowsley. It is approached through a wood composed partly of fine Spanish chestnuts. Their overhanging boughs form a frame for the low greystone house with its irregular gables, its porch and latticed casements.
Near the porch a streamlet falls into a stone basin 'round which ferns cluster. On the right, farther up the hillside, are more old gabled buildings, which appear larger than the dwellings and are used as stables. The house has a very quaint "old world" appearance.
Nor does the inside belie this impression. From the low arched porch, a narrow, rather dark passage leads to a good sized but also low panelled hall, opening on the right to a flight of the broad stone steps so often seen in old Derbyshire houses. They lead to a narrow walled garden from which the stables are reached. I think the plenishing of this hall must be much the same as when Barbara Alleyn lived there. Three very long black oak tables surround the walls, some quaint old oak chairs and oak stools, a round table, and a curiously carved mantlepiece complete the furniture. On the ground floor there is one quaint little panelled chamber, all white, with two latticed casements looking different ways. Beyond the hall, a few winding stone steps lead to the upper story on which are several panelled quaint rooms. The front of the house looks towards the garden which is on the rather steep hillside. Some very fine ancient yews, just below the gravel walk, which is bordered by old fashioned flowers, shade a narrow paved walk. Farther down the bank is a second avenue of yews; their boughs overshadow another paved alley so completely that one can enjoy a walk there in heavy rain without feeling the drops that patter on the branches. I am obliged to confess that it is probable that additions have been made to the oldest parts of Stanton Woodhouse since sturdy John Greaves went there with Dorothy Alleyne, but they are not intrusive.
Stanton Woodhouse is now the Derbyshire home of the Duke of Rutland. (See the next page for a drawing of Stanton Woodhouse.)

Richard Greaves (11), of Birchover, married Margaret Supper, daughter of Henry Supper of Darley. Richard's descendants were not long of Birchover. The Reliquary, vol. 6, 1866, gives an elegy by Leonard Wheatcroft "upon the death of all the greatest gentry in Darley Dale who loved hunting, hawking and several other games. The poet's view well known to you, to be too true, and so adieu, by me Leo W 1672." Each stanza is devoted to one of the family or individual, and the first runs:
"As I on Oaker Hill one day did stand
Viewing the world which I could not command
I turned my face towd Berchore (Birchover) partly west
To view where Greaves us't to have their nest
But out alas I found they were all gone
Not one was left to rest against a stone."

GENERATION 5
CHILDREN OF JOHN GREAVES (10) AND DOROTHY ALLEYNE
John Greaves (17) was born about 1608 and died in 16731[1]. He apparently married Elizabeth Wood, daughter of William Wood. He was the oldest son and the successor to the estate. Burke says nothing about him except that he had a son John who married Ann Birch (a mistake for Birds which he repeated several times) and that he was the father of William of Mayfield, Joseph of Ingleby, and George of London.
Mr. Swift has, however, an abstract which states that John Greaves who married Ann Birds died without issue. His will confirms this.
There is in Beeley Church a flagstone occupying the S.E. angle of the belfrey floor bearing this inscription: "This marble stone doth presse but not oppresse the body of John Greaves of Greaves, Esq., who was always a true son of the Church of England, merciful and charitable to the poor, patient and courageous in a tedious sickness, and at length, being full of faith and hope, did exchange this troublesome world for a better, the 13 Oct. 1694."
In the floor at the north aisle is another flagstone with: "In norte lucrum, the remains of that excellent woman Mrs. Ann Greaves, daughter of George Birds of Stanton Hall, gent, and relict of John Greaves of Woodhouse, Esq., lie here interred, her better part to blissful regions ascended the 25th May 1700. To whose pious memory this marble is dedicated by her brother Mr. Thomas Birds."
The fact of the stone having been placed here by her brother looks as if John Greaves did die without children. If he left children, they were sadly wanting in filial feeling.
If John Greaves did die without children, who then were the Greaves of Mayfield descended from? Burke says the head of the family sold the estate at Beeley and Stanton and settled at Mayfield. If so, why are the arms of the Mayfield family different from those of Beeley?
The arms of Greaves of Greaves are: Gules, an eagle displayed or, crowned argent. The arms of Greaves of Mayfield are: per bend, gu. & vert, an eagle displayed or.
Dugdale (visitation of Derby, 1662) gives the following pedigree: John Graves of Graves, father of John Graves who married dau. of William Wood and had John aged 18 in 1662, and George who married and had 5 sons.
The last named John (aged 18) was the one who married Ann Birds. The family of Birds, Bird, Bride was of considerable standing in Co. Derby about 200 years ago, and they lived at Locko, Youlgreave, Ashford, Eyam, and other places. Descendants of this once opulent family are still living in Youlgreave and Matlock but are now only working men. George Birds, father of Ann, possessed half of the Manor of Stanton Hall. In 1604, George Bird (father or grandfather of above George) was one of three churchwardens of Youlgreave.
In the civil wars the Greaves family took the part of Charles I and, in consequences of their losses in it, the old hereditary estates at Beeley were sold, and the head of the family settled at Mayfield.

28. John Greaves, b.c. 1644, m. Ann Birds, d. 13 Oct. 1694.
George Greaves (18) was born in 1612 per R-5. He married Dorothy Wagstaff. In Youlgrave registers is Dorothy, daughter of George and Dorothy Greaves, baptized 20 Nov. 1640. It seems likely that the "head of the family" (mentioned in the discussion of George's brother John) who settled at Mayfield was a son of George, rather than of John.
On 1 Oct. 1649, John and George Greaves with nine others presented a petition for repair of Baslow Bridge over the Darwin. Baslow is about four miles north of Beeley.
George had 5 sons, according to Dugdale (visitation of Derby, 1662). It seems probable that George named one of his sons William after his uncle William, the rector of Brailsford, and that he was the William who settled at Mayfield, Staffordshire, and married Margery Lees. Other children listed provided by R-5.

In the 26th vol. of the Reliquary (year 1886) are Family Jottings by the late Mrs. Marshall Hall (b. 1802, d. 1885) written just before she died and supplied to the Reliquary by her son. Mrs. Hall's mother was a daughter of Hans Winthrop Mortimer by a daughter of Lord Hamilton.

The grounds were charming, and Mr. and Mrs. Greaves and their two daughters lived there. At Ingleby my mother made the acquaintance of Mrs. Greaves' two cousins, the young Misses Green, the elder of whom, Valentine, became Theodosea's husband."
The following two children were their only offspring.

Debank, a daughter of William Debank of Burton and Sarah Goring of Frodley. Elizabeth Newton was born in 1743 in Burton on Trent, and died about 1822.
"The famous Col. Goring, the faithful adherent to the fortunes of the young chevalier, who died a field marshall in the Prussian Service," was a kinsman of Sarah Goring, and Dr. Greaves of Mayfield had in his possession a beautiful silver medal about the size of half a crown but thicker, which was presented by Prince Edward to the Colonel. On one side is the head of Charles Edward; on the reverse an old "dead tree with a young one springing up from its roots, with this inscription, 'Reverscet 1650'."

Until 1705 there was only one house at Ellen-foot, a farmhouse built by Humphrey Senhouse in 1718. This house is now the site of Maryport. The town owed its origins to the efforts of Humphrey Senhouse. Pennant, writing in 1774, says there were then more than one hundred houses there.

CHILDREN OF JOSEPH GREAVES (95) AND ANN PHILLIPPA JONES
George Frederick Greaves (137) of Briory Close, Windemere, Westmoreland, England, was in the Army List, 1814-1830. He was captain of the 60th Rifles, served in the Peninsular War under the Duke of Wellington, and settled in Venice about 1850. He lived in the Palazzo Contarini, San Trovaso, Venice, and was captain in the Imperial Austrian Navy. He died in 1869.
He married Ann Richards. She was born 24 Oct. 1806 in Chester, England, and died 27 Aug. 1877 in Stockholm. It appears that they had 11 children living in 1877.
Sources of the information about this family include Burke’s Landed Gentry, 6th ed., 1882, “Greaves in Staffordshire”, and Austrian military records.
Ole Pein wrote an article, “John Davies Mereweather and Ann Greaves”, published on pages 26-29, The Journal of the Bristol and Avon Family History Society, no. 45, Autumn 1986. According to this article: “North of Stockholm, a short walk from the old toll houses, which still stand, there is a large cemetery. Entering through gate number 3 one will find in an area called 12B, two tombstones with intriguing inscriptions. They read (in English):
Ann Greaves
Born at Chester
on the 24th of October 1806 Died at Rålambshof
on the 27th of August 1877
Into thine hand I commit
my spirit. Thou hast
redeemed me, O Lord, God
of truth
31st Ps. 5th v. and
Here sleeps the sleep of death
John Davies Mereweather
Knight of the order of the crown of Italy
English chaplain at Venice
from 1855 to 1887
He was born in Bristol
on the 7th day of September 1816
and died in Venice
the 18th day of June 1896
31st Ps. 6th v.
Here, apparently, are buried first an English lady, who died in Stockholm at the age of 70 and then, nineteen years later, an English priest, who had died in Venice.
My investigations in the cemetery archives revealed that Mrs. Greaves had come from Venice and that the grave (No. 2760) had been arranged for her by her son-in-law, a lieutenant Arfwedson. The Arfwedson family is well documented and from printed sources I found out that the oldest known ancestor is Arfwed Andersson, a tradesman in Stockholm in the 1650’s.
Carl Edward Arfwedson, the lieutenant in question, was born in 1847, son of Johan Edward Arfwedson and Louise Adrienne De Geer. He graduated from the military academy in 1869. He then went to Venice where he met Adela Helena Greaves. In 1871 they married. Adela was the daughter of George Frederick Greaves, Captain of the Austrian Navy, and his wife Ann nee Richards. She was born at Belgirate in 1847. The young couple soon left Venice for Sweden, and Carl Edward Arfwedson continued his military career in the Royal Life Dragoons. Mr. Rolf Arfwedson, grandson of Carl Edward and Adela, has been kind enough to provide me with much information....
Mrs. Greaves’s daughter, Adela, and son-in-law, Carl Edward Arfwedson, had left Venice for Sweden in 1871. After a lengthy correspondence it was decided that Mrs. Greaves should visit them in Stockholm. She had doubts about the journey and sought the advice of Mereweather, chaplain, neighbour and friend of the family. He encouraged her to go. In the beginning of August 1877 she arrived in Stockholm and installed herself at Rålambshof, the summer house rented by her daughter. However, a bad cold developed into pneumonia, and Ann Greaves, nee Richards, died on 27 August 1877. She was buried three days later.” (R-2)
