ELEVENTH GENERATION

1272. Thomas GRAVETT was born in 1650 in Gaston Surrey.⁽⁴⁵⁴⁾ There are 2 Thomas Gravetts mentioned in the IGI, this one from Gaston and another from Findon in Sussex. However, as Thomas seems to have married a girl from Surrey and settled down in Cranleigh to raise his family, it seems more likely that theis one from Gaston is MY Thomas.
He is variously described as either a Yeoman or a Farmer in the Cranleigh Register. In fact at one point the word Yeoman is scratched out and the word Farmer substituted. Either way the family seem to have been either land owners or the tenant farmers, with the property descending from father to son. He died on 4 Aug 1708 in Cranleigh Surrey.⁽⁴⁵⁵⁾ He was a Farmer. ⁽⁴⁵³⁾ He was married to Sarah GADD on 10 Feb 1680 in Cranleigh Surrey. ⁽⁴⁵⁶⁾ Both are stated in the register to have been 'of this parish'.
