Hi Donald,
(1) Fulke Greville (1491-1559) married Elizabeth Willoughby (1500-1562) and has as their 8th child Eleanor (or Helen)who married sir John Conway. Sir John & Eleanor had as their 4th Child , Mary Conway, who in c1601 married William Tracy (c 1591-1621 of Berkeley Co., Virginia USA.
(2) Fulke Greville (1491-1559) & Elizabeth nee Willoughby (1500-1562) also had as their 9th child Sir Edward Greville (1539- 1615) who as his 1st wife Married Elizabeth (formerly Denny) nee Grey and had Frances Greville, who (m1) Nathaniel West; (m2) Abraham piersey; (m3) Samuel Matthews(Snr).
So from above two paths, it can be seen that Mary Conway/Tracy and Frances Greville/West/Peirsey/Matthews were 1st cousins.
Re as to who were the parents of Frances Greville, I part answered it above, but to enlarge a bit:
Edward Greville, (1539 - 1615) 9th child & a Son of Fulke Greville and Elizabeth Willoughby married as his 1st wife (of 2) Elizabeth nee Grey (she was the relict of Sir Henry Denny (d1574)of Harold's park, Nazig, Essex, England) and had (amongst others),as their 12th child, Frances Greville who married West/Piersey/Matthews as shown above.
Sir Edward Greville after the death of Elizabeth nee Grey remarried to Elizabeth Denny.
