From Reliques of the Rives:
Thomas Ryves, born in 1664 and was buried at Ewerne Courtney 4 November 1704. Through the death without male issue of his uncle George Ryves of Randleston and the three remaining elder brothers of his father, Thomas Ryves became ultimately heir of Randleston and Damory Court. He was elected to Winchester College at the age of 11 and was admitted in 1676 as "of St. Mathew, Friday Street, London," according to Kirby who erroneously adds that he died at Bombay in 1723, confusing him with his son. He was appointed Comptroller of the Prize Office, and married Ann Cochin, by whom he had: (see above).

In addition, Thomas had inherited the manor of North Cheriton from his uncle George Ryves. The manor was sold after his death by his widow Ann and son George to Dr William Watson in 1711.
