Hi Helen There is a publication "The Family Gratwicke, of Jarvis, Shermanbury and Tortington. By J Comber Sussex Archaelogy 60 1919. The introduction starts " Throughout the 16th Century the family of Gratwicke were so numerous and widespread, in the county of Sussex, that, though it is possible to make out numerous pedigrees of the various branches, it is by no means easy to connect them all together. .....two main branches 1) the Western, which at the beginning of the century was settled at W Grinstead and embraces the families of Needs, Septens, etc., in that place, Ham in Angmering, Godshill in Cowfold and I believe, Eatons in Henfield: 2) the Eastern embracing the families of jarvis in Cowfold, Shermanbury, and Tortington, which latter also at one time held part of the manor of Ham. My most recent GRATWICKE ancestor was Mary 1671-1714 who married John SAVAGE in 1691. Mary's parents were Joseph 1631-1707 and Mary (nee BURCHFIELD). Joseph's parents were Joseph 1587-1638 who married Joane (nee BARTLETT). Joseph's parents were William d 1596 and Mary (nee DAVIE). William's parents were Richard 1520-1582 and Alice.
