Lawrence Sheriff

Lawrence Sheriff

Origin of The Shreve Family:

There are various and conflicting accounts of the origin of the Shreve family. Luther Allen and Melvin Steadman trace the family origins to a Sir William Shreve. As Steadman reports it:

Another group of interest to us is the Shreve family. A 300-year old document tells the

story of Sir William Shreve, the first of the family in England. Sir William, a man of noble

birth and largely of Greek ancestry, married Lady Elizabeth Fairfax. A grandson, Thomas,

left England and settled in Rhode Island, thus founding the family in America (Steadman,

1969).

It is not known what the "300-year old document" might be, although, certainly, if it were still extant it would be of extreme interest to Shreve genealogists. In the volume The Landed Gentry, the authors claim that the family line stems from a Lawrence Sheriff, of whom Sir William Shreve is a nephew. William Hornor, author of This Old Monmouth of Ours, also mentions Lawrence Sheriff, claiming him to be an uncle of Sir William Shreve:

Sir William Sheriff, the first of the line of whome we have definite record, is believed to have been a nephew of Lawrence Sheriffe, who, in 1567, founded Rugby School, in England (Hornor, 348 ).

Thus, there are two conflicting genealogies. The first genealogy (which will be termed the "Lawrence Sheriff Ancestry") is detailed in The Landed Gentry under the genealogy of Captain Arthur Lee Shreve. The second I will call the "Traditional Ancestry," and is primarily detailed in Allen and Steadman. One of the purposes of this section of the present volume is to assess the evidence supporting either of these ancestries. Following is a summary of the two competing ancestries:

I. Lawrence Sheriff Ancestry [TLG]

[1]. (SIR) LAWRENCE SHERIFF m. ELIZABETH, b. ca. 1500 of Rugby County, Warwick

[2]. SHERIFF, LAWRENCE m. ISABEL HOLDEN, b. ca. 1550 of Rugby, County Warwick

[3]. WILLIAM SHERIFF, m. ELIZABETH, b. ca. 1587, England

[4]. THOMAS SHERIFF, m. MARTHA, b. ca. 1611, England

II. Traditional Ancestry [Allen; MS; TOMO]

[1]. (SIR) WILLIAM SHREVE, m. ELIZABETH FAIRFAX, b. ca. 1587, England (TLG), 1564 (MS)

[2]. WILLIAM SHREVE, m. OARA OARA, b. ca. 1592, England

[3]. THOMAS SHREVE or SHERIFF, m. MARTHA, b. ca. 1611, England

Note that in the above account Sir William Shreve has the same birthdate as William Sheriff, son of Lawrence Sheriff (the younger). It may be that the forces of oral tradition working on family history have collapsed the generations preceding William Shreve, associating the title granted to Lawrence the elder with his grandson. Such a "foreshortening" of distant events involving the collapsing together of generations often occurs in family history. Of course, much of this early genealogy is sheer speculation and unverified family tradition. Verification awaits detailed original research in England. In the present genealogy, we have maintained a description of both ancestries, with appropriate comments about which seems most reasonable given the current state of research.

One possible reconciliation of the ancestries is that the William Shreve who married Oara Oara is in fact the same William who married Elizabeth in the Lawrence Sheriff line. They have similar birth dates in both ancestries (1592 vs.1587), and; further, it may be this same William Shreve, confused with Sir Lawrence, who became identified as Sir William Shreve. This explanation fails to deal with the existence of an individual named Oara Oara, the alleged Dutch wife of William Shreve, son of Sir William in the traditional ancestry. There was a group of colonists who came to America via Holland (the so-called "Leiden Pilgrims"), and William Shreve may somehow have been associated with this group. In Leiden he may have met his Dutch wife. Unfortunately, there is no evidence that William Shreve and Oara Oara were part of this group and their name does not appear in the lists of Leiden or London Pilgrims.

To further confuse the ancestry issue, L.P. Allen makes an interesting observation on page 14 of his History and Genealogy of the Shreve Family, shortly after commenting on certain "facts" contained in a letter from a Barclay White:

[the letter] requires the removal of the traditional ancestry back one generation and a correction of assumed dates and facts to conform, making William Shreve that married Elizabeth Fairfax born about 1590 and Sir William Shreve who married Oara Oara born about 1560.

Even Allen turns the traditional ancestry on its head!

Hornor's identification of the Shreve ancestry with Lawrence Sheriff supports the ancestry given in The Landed Gentry, except that the latter does not mention Oara Oara and says that William who married Elizabeth was born about 1587. There is little to b e concluded about these competing ancestries without primary research in early English records. The secrets to the early Shreve origins lie in England.

The facts, such as they are, lead us to support, at least tentatively, the Lawrence Sheriff ancestry for the following reasons:

- there is some documented evidence of Sir Laurence's knighthood and not of "Sir William's;"

- there is no report of or documentation for a Sir William Shreve being knighted;

- dates of birth, marriages and supporting details are stronger and more consistent in the Lawrence

Sheriff ancestry;

- the Shreve, Sheriff name occurs in Warwickshire well back into the 1100's and is a traditional

Warwickshire Anglo-Saxon name
