Research Notes
(1) This John Ryves is the progenitor of the Hampshire Branch of the Ryves/Reeves family which remains plentiful in numbers in the Southampton area of Hampshire in the present day. The branch is definitely related to the Ryves family of Blandford. Childs suggests that a John may have been the brother of Robert Ryves, although he attaches this potential sibling relationship to this John's son. However it is entirely plausible that this John may have been Robert's sibling, as this family appears (through subsequent generations) to have maintained close ties with the Blandford family. This John Ryves was living during the same period as Robert and this would be consistent with them being siblings. This Hampshire branch bore identical arms and family crest to those of the Dorset Ryves.
