Reve of Troston, Suffolk
I have traced my family to William Reve whom married Margaret Cooke at Troston, Suffolk 1572. Children were William baptised 1573, Mary 1576, Isaac 1578 and Margaret 1581.
My direct ancestor being Isaac Reve whom married Dinah Saunder at Mendlesham, Suffolk 1606. Isaac Reeve was "of Culford" at the time of the marriage and after having children at Trosten moved to Redgrave with Botesdale, Suffolk circa 1630 where my family was situated for the next 200 years or so.
A Robert Reue, husbandman of Troston, left a will dated 1572 in which he mentions son William, his heir, wife Elizabeth and under 21 years son Robert and daughters Elizabeth and Alice youngest daughter. Unfortunately the will by itself does not prove descent nor the naming patterns of William and Margaret's children not mentioning a son Robert or daughters Elizabeth or Alice in particular.
One Elizabeth Reave married Roger Showlarde (sic probably Shellard) at Troston 1573. This possibly could be the widow of Robert Reue deceased in 1572.
No manorial records are extant for Troston for this time period.
The only marriage I can find for Robert Reve and Elizabeth Yue sic.(Ive)listed in Boydes occurs in 1540 at Hessett, Suffolk and this seems too early given the age of the children of Robert Reue in his will.
Any suggestions or links, perhaps in Mendlesham, Suffolk
or with the name Shellard or Cooke or Reve.
