Timothy information on family page, Src.1: Reeves Review by EmmaBarrett Reeves, p 6, Src.2: Reliques of the Rives (Ryves) by James RivesChilds.
"It is interesting to note that the name, Timothy occurs nowhere else inthe other braches of the family, but does appear repeatedly among thedescendants of Richard. Timothy is mentioned by Hutchins as a Gent. ofthe Parish of St. Mary Magdalene in Oxford City, and as Steward of the U.of Oxford. It seems likely that the young Timothy may have owed hispreferment at Oxford to two of his Uncles, Dr. George Ryves and SirWilliam Ryves. Dr George was Chancellor of Oxford in 1601, was Warden ofNew College in 1599. Sir William was Chancellor at Law in 1615; J.P. in1618 of the Parish of St. Mary Magdalene. From the scarcity of recordsit is supposed that Timothy was orphaned at an early age and that he, asonly son and heir, was taken under the care of his kinsmen. It is a factthat Timothy named two of his sons for these two uncles who were inaposition to befriend a needy relative. The Parish Register shows twomarriages and two sons by each wife."
