Notes and references
- ↑ Rauff Gruchy was born in about 1440. In the previous generation, Guillaume Grouchye bought in 1439, from Thomas de St Martin, two fields in Trinity, on the Fief de la Trinité, one of which was situated to the north-east of the purchaser's house: ABSJ, IV, 422. These fields, which are no doubt those still retaining the name Clos Gruchy (T.340 and 1299) are situated on that fief, in the west of the parish, at a distance of a few hundred metres to the north-east of Champs Clairs, a property long associated with Rauff Gruchy's descendants. Guillaume, therefore, may well have been Rauff's father or grandfather. Of significance, is a contract in the possession of the Jersey Archive, dated 1402, which features the names of Rauf (Radolphus) and Guillemet de Grochie, both of whom were tenants of the said Fief de la Trinité, in the same part of the parish: L/C/66/C1/2. Guillemet is a variant of Guillaume. If he was the Guillaume who purchased in 1439 the fields near Champs Clairs, or was his father, it is likely that the link between the Gruchys and de Gruchys has been discovered: see Descendants of Robin de Gruchy (1360)
- ↑ John Gruchy, the eldest son, died without surviving issue. His name is linked in Jersey, with that of others, to a legendary luring ashore of a Spanish ship, with the loss of many lives. A curse by a drowning woman is said to have covered good farmland in the west of St Brelade, in sand-dunes. In fact, geologists have established that these dunes considerably pre-date John! Furthermore, neither he nor any of his fellow conspirators bore St Brelade surnames. Legends, though, do often bear some element of fact. Perhaps he was a well-known smuggler, whose activities were thus exaggerated?

- ↑ The Armorial of Jersey, 189, erroneously calls him "Rev Francis Grochie", probably confusing him with one of his clergyman cousins

- ↑ Married twice, with issue in St John
- ↑ Vincent had no surviving issue. A case before the Cour d`Héritage in 1566 names his elder brother and principal heir as Lucas Gruchy and the other brothers as Sire Jean, Olivier and Pierre. This clarifies to which generation Pierre belongs
- ↑ Partage, dated 1610, (RP 3/126), of the inheritance of Jean Gruchy, son of Pierre, between Jean Gruchy, or Grochy, elder son, and his co-heirs, Pierre Gruchy, Matthieu Gruchy and Philippe Gruchy, "all children of the said Jean and of Marie, his wife, daughter of Jean Coutance"
- ↑ The eldest son in the 1658 `partage` of "Philippe Gruchy fils Jean"
- ↑ From Philippe Gruchy is descended the Gruchy family of Champs Clairs, Trinity
- ↑ Marthe Gruchy, missed in some Gruchy genealogies, features with her brothers Jean, Pierre, Matthieu and Philippe in the partage of their father`s and grandparents` inheritances, which were dealt with at the same time [RP 3/126 (1610)], although she and Philippe were still under the guardianship of Olivier Coutanche, a maternal relative. Apart from an income in rentes, significantly Marthe inherited 2 vergées 14 perches and 16 pieds in Le Clos de Lemprière. When she sold this in 1622 to Jean Gruchy fils François, it was as the wife of Jean Bisson, fils Leonard

- ↑ The Revd. J.A. Messervy, in ABSJ VI, 272
- ↑ Partage, dated 1610, (R.P.3/95), of the inheritance of Pierre Gruchy and of Katherine, his wife, between Jean Grochie, elder son of the late Jean Gruchy, who was the elder son of Pierre and of his said wife, Olivier Gruchy, younger son of the said Pierre, and Guillemette Gruchy, widow of Jean Dutot, daughter of the said Pierre and his wife. The land involved, Messervy comments, seems to be near Trinity Manor
- ↑ James was a sermenté in 1515, appearing before, and assisting, the Crown Commissioners. His name appears as "de Gruchy". This was probably correct, in his case and that of his father, Rauff, as this abbreviated form of an already long-established Jersey surname, had only just come into use. He had issue, which included a son, Andrée. From a legal transaction in 1525, we see James (sic) owned land in Trinity, as well as in St John, in which latter parish, he had descendants
