Am looking for a birth date and any information for Jacob Grieve of Durham. He was an attorney-at-law and he married Jane Bowes, daughter of Thomas Bowes esquire of Bradley Hall. Also they had a daughter Elizabeth Mary Grieve who was christened on 19 Sept 1759 and who in turn married Robert Taylor. Any information regarding Elizabeth and Robert also appreciated. I do know that Robert was a divinity student but was never fully ordained as when his father, Anthony, died and Robert had to give up the church and look after the family estate. According to a letter written by their great great granddaughter Robert the family estate was the Great House, Great Lumley. They had 10 children who grew up in this house, the house of which I can find no history. Also, Elizabeth M Grieve was orphaned early but was left by her mother two estates named Gibside and Highfriars. Now, I can find Gibside, but I cannot find Highfriars. Any takers on this?
