Greaves Ancestors

Surnames: Greaves, Graves
Looking for information about the Greaves/Graves family. My ancestor was Thomas Greaves, born about 1650. It is believed the family was originally from Derby County England. They were Quakers and moved to Ireland in the 1600's. Thomas later came to America with his wife, Sarah Whitsett, and four children.
