CHILDREN OF RICHARD GREAVES (1) AND ALICE ------

Robert Greaves (3) was baptized 6 Sept. 1702 in Stalmine, Lancashire. He married Margaret Carter of Thurnhain, daughter of Nicholas Carter of Skerton, on 28 Jan. 1729 in Lancaster Parish Church. She was baptized (?) 30 Nov. 1703 in Lancaster Parish Church, and was buried 5 Dec. 1737 in Cockerham, Lancashire. All their children were born at Cockerham. The baptismal record for Jennett and Robert mention their father as "of Cockerham", and that for Elizabeth says "of Lancaster."

In 1740, the widower Robert Greaves and his 3 young children were considered likely to become a charge on Lancaster parish. They were sent back to Pilling (about 11 miles south of Lancaster). Robert was apparently very poor, and these must have been hard times for him and his family. (R-1)
