1024. Capt. George Rives, son of William Rives and Elizabeth Pegram, was born in 1660 in Surry, Surry, Virginia, USA59 and died after Sep 1719 in , Prince George, Virginia, USA.
General Notes: Born in 1660, a fact obtained from his deposition made in
1719. He was a seaman, a captain. He gave his age as 59 years.
He was a trader who braved not only the perils of the sea, but
the pirates who infested the coast of America in the latter
half of the seventeenth and early part of the eighteenth
centuries. There were 2,000 or more pirates between Maine and
Florida. In addition there were as many more who used the
Bahamas as their base of operations. George Rives’ deposition
was given on 8 Sept. 1719 in the County of Prince George, as
follows: George Rives, age 59 years or thereabouts deposeth
that in the month of April last while he was trading in the
Province of South Carolina, he did both see and oftentimes did
converse with a runaway malatta (sic) man slave named Jack,
belonging to Samuel Harwood, the younger, of Charles City
County, VA. The said slave came into that Province in the
company of Mr. Robert Hix, and other traders, as the traders
informed this deponant that the said malatta slave man there
goes by the name of John Bunch, and would have returned home to
his master, but was forcibly detained in the Province by one,
Capt. How, and other traders there. This deponent further
saith that he very well knows that said runaway slave to belong
to the said Harwood and for some years past did live upon the
plantation on the poplar swamp under him, and further saith
not. This 8th day of Sept. 1719. Signed with his mark X. Mr
Robert Hix was a well known Indian Interpreter and trader in
Virginia at this time. He married a daughter of William Rives
who died in Granville County, NC in 1751. Neither George nor
his brothers left county records to prove land ownership, but
most of the Prince George records were destroyed. George must
have been a man of considerable means. He established the
family in Prince George and Isle of Wight.

12th Generation
2048. William Rives, son of Timothy Ryves and Elizabeth Steward, was born about 1636 in Woodstock, , Oxfordshire, England60 and died after 1695 in , , Surry, Virginia, USA. Another name for William was William Ryves.
General Notes: His father died in 1643, the year the war broke out and for a
time Oxford was the storm center of the revolt. William was
only 16 years old when he was imported by Littleton Scarburg
into Surry County, Virginia (about 1652). By 1684 he had paid
his indenture and began to appear in county records as a free
man. We have found no will or estate settlement, but he seems
to have had at least five sons, but there is no way of
identifying possible daughters he may have had. His wife’s name
is not known. SOURCE:Greer, George Cabell. ‘Early Virginia
Immigrants, 1623-1666. Reprint. Baltimore: Genealogical Pub.
Co., 1960.’ Page 274 – Wm arrived in Virginia in 1652.
Research Notes: His father died in 1643, the year the War broke out, and for a time Oxford was the storm center of the revolt. William was 16 when he was imported by a Littleton Scarburg into Surry County, Virginia (possibly that William was arrested because of his participation in the revolt). By 1664, William had paid his indenture and began to appear in county records as a freeman. No will or settlement papers have been found. Not possible to identify any daughters.
Family legend has it that “during the early years of English settlement in the New World, it is said, three brothers Reeves came from England to the colonies. They settled, respectively, in New York, Virginia, and South Carolina, each becoming, so the account goes, a man of prominence in his community.” Perhaps William is the brother who settled in Virginia.

13th Generation
4096. Timothy Ryves, son of Richard Ryves and Elizabeth, was born about 1588 in St. Mary Magdalen, Oxford, , Oxfordshire, England,64 died in Sep 1643 in St. Mary Magdalen, Oxford, , Oxfordshire, England60 about age 55, and was buried in St. Mary Magdalen, Oxford, , Oxfordshire, England. Other names for Timothy were Timothy Rives,64 Timothey Ryves, and65 Timothie Ryves.60
General Notes: Believed to be a man of prominence as he was mentioned in Wood’s “Survey of the Antiquities of Oxford”. A Gent. of the Parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Oxford City and a steward of the University of Oxford. Apparently an only child and orphaned at a young age.
The fact that his death and burial are mentioned in Wood’s
SURVEY OF THE ANTIQUITIES OF OXFORD indicates that he was a man
of prominence. It is interesting to note that the name, Timothy
occurs nowhere else in other branches of the family, but does
appear repeatedly among the descendents of Richard. Timothy is
mentioned by Hutchins as a gentleman of the parish of St. Mary
Magdalene in Oxford City, and as Steward of the University of
Oxford. It seems likely that the young Timothy may have owed
his preferment at Oxford to two of his uncles, Dr. George Ryves
and Sir William Ryves. Dr. George was chancellor of Oxford in
1601, was warden of New College in 1599. Sir William was
Chancellor at law in 1615; J.P. in 1618 of the parish of St.
Mary Magdalene. From the scarcity of records it is supposed
that Timothy was orphaned at an early age and that he, as only
son and heir, was taken under the care of his kinsmen. It is a
fact that Timothy named two of his sons for these two uncles
who were in a position to befriend a needy relative. The
parish register shows two marriages and two sons by each wife.

Research Notes: He was the grandson of Robert, and grandfather of the Virginia
emigrant. There is no will or inquisition, no records telling
where he lived, nor whom he married. We know he was living at
the time of Robet’s will signing on Oct 20, 1549, by which it
seems he was named in the will. the lack of records indicates
that he may have died young. Hutchins mentions one son by him,
and his name may be a clue as to Richard’s wife’s ancestry.

Info from: Don Dickenson
Robert Reve is the earliest know progenitor of the Rives
family. He was Armiger and substantial land owner. Seat at
Damory Court, Blandford Forum, Dorset, England. At the time of
his death, Robert Rives was a member of the noble class and
peer of King Henry VIII’s Court. He possessed a coat of arms
and held considerable estates in Dorset and Somerset.
In 1545 Robert purchased the 1600 acre estate of Randleston
[Ranston]. In 1548 he obtained Damory Court in Blandford Forum
from the Duke of Somerset. In 1546 King Henry VIII granted the
premises of the manor of Milton, and the messuage called
Luscombe in Dorset, to Robert in letters patent. He also held
land in the East Orchard of Dorset. In addition to the lands in
Dorset shire, he held lands in North Cheriton and Pointington
in Somerset shire.
Robert died in 1551 and was buried in the old church of St.
Peter and St. Paul in Blandford Forum, which was destroyed by
fire in 1731.
From REEVES REVIEW-BOOK II by Emma Barrett Reeves, p.1:
“Robert Ryves of Blandford in Dorsetshire, England was b. c.
1490, probably in England; Will dated 20 Oct 1549, proved 11
Feb 1551. There may have been a large family. We have records
of only three:
John Ryves, m. Amy Harvey
Agnes Ryves, m. before 20 Oct 1549
a dau, m. before 20 Oct 1549 to William Hunton
Research Notes: Robert Ryves was a French Huguenot who emigrated to England in 1545 from Languedoc area of France and purchased Randleston (Ranston Castle) and 1600 acres of land in Dorsetshire, England. Three years later he purchased Damory Court. Both properties were near the village of Blandford in Dorset.
The influence of Robert Ryves in encouraging education and loyal service to Church and Crown is indisputable. Robert Ryves was an avid supporter of four churches in the Blandford Parish area, which included Blandlbrd Parish Church as well as Fifehead Neville, Shroton at Ewerne Courtney and Child Okeford. His support of Blandford Parish Church was undoubtedIy substantial as indicated by his being granted permission to construct a Ryves Chapel and crypt within Blandford Parish Church.
With a proven and consistent record of service to God, Church and Crown, the Ryves family and their descendants, are deserving of having a replacement plaque identfying the family crypt within their original Church of Worship in Dorset County embodied in a memorial to Robert Ryves.
In 1545, Robert purchased the 1600 acre estate of Randleston (Ranston). In 1548, he obtained the beautiful Damory Court in Blandsford Forum from the Duke of Somerset. In 1546, his friend King Henry VIII granted, in letters patent, the manor of Milton and the “messuage” of Luscombe (Lyssecomb) in Dorset to Robert. He also held diverse lands in the East Orchard district of Dorset County. In addition to his Dorsetshire estates, Robert held lands in North Cheriton and Pointington, County Somerset.
Ranston is located 5 miles northwest of the town of Blandford Forum in Dorset County, England. Ranston Houseand Park are on the site of a small hamlet (shown as another Iwerne) in the Doomsday Book. The ancient manor was known as Randolfston, later shortened to Ranston. Half a mile beyond Stepleton the road from Blandford to Shaftesbury passes another finely timbered park, lying in the hollow between Hambledon Hill and the western slopes of Cranborne Chase. The house stands below the road, on the left-hand side, with east and west views up the hills which close in on either hand. Ranston now consists of little more than the house; it is a tithing of Shroton, a village also know as Iwerne Courtenay, a little distance to the north. The name is a contraction of Randolfston, an intermediate form, Randleston, occurring in the sixteenth century.
Anciently held by the de Bruyns, the manor was acquired in 1545 by Robert Ryves of Blandford, and it remained with his descendants until 1781. It was then bought by Peter William Baker, the agent of Mr. Portman of Bryanston, whom he assisted in the development of the Portman estate in Marylebone, giving his name to Baker Street. On his death in 1814 he was succeeded by a cousin, Sir Edward Littlehales, who took the Baker name.
