This genealogy report is about 65 pages long and this is only the first part. One of the reasons I ran into your posting is because I was trying to relate the Manne Page entries I have that aren't linked and I wanted to see what other researchers had found.
Descendants of John Grymes
Generation No. 1
1. John3 Grymes (John2, Charles1) was born 1691 in Brandon, Middlesex County, Virginia, and died 03 November 1748. He married Lucy Ludwell 22 December 1715 in Green Spring, James City County, Virginia, daughter of Phillip Ludwell and Hannah Harrison. She was born 02 November 1698, and died 03 March 1749.
Notes for John Grymes:
John Grymes, son of John Grymes and Alice Townley, born 1691, and was the chief heir and executor of his mother's last will and testament dated 1 January 1709-1710, probated 1 Mary 1710 per The Townleys and Warners of Virginia and Their English Connections by Mary Burton Derrickson McCurdy, published in Genealogies of Virginia Families from Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Volume V, page 571; John Grymes of "Brandon", Middlesex County, Virginia, was born in 1691, probably in Gloucester County, Virginia and died 2 November 1748. He bought the "Brandon" estate in Middlesex from the heirs of Major General Robert Smith and it was for several generations, the estate of the eldest branch of the family. There was formerly a large brick mansion at Brandon which has not entirely disappeared.
John Grymes was a member of the House of Burgesses for Middlesex County, Virginia, at the sessions of April 1718, November 1720 and May 1722, and was appointed to the Council in 1725. He was Auditor General of the Colony i 1718; but seems to have held that office only a short time and was Receiver General from 1723 to his death in 1748. He married at "Green Spring" on 22 December 1715, Lucy Ludwell, daughter of Philip Ludwell of Green Spring and Rich Neck, James City County, Virginia, born 2 November 1698, died 2 November 1748, Their tombs or what remains of them are in the church yard, Christ Church, Middlesex County, Virginia.

Only her three Grymes children and mentioned in the last will and testament of his mother Alice (Townley) Grymes of 1 January 1709/1710 (probated 1 May 1710. Charles Grymes was born 10 October 1693 (the will states that Charles will become 21 on 10 October 1714, at which time he and his sister are to receive 100 pounds sterling; John Grymes, the chief heir and executor was born in 1691 (according to his tombstone he was in the 57th year of his age when he died 2 November 1798; Anne Grymes must have been the firstborn child, presumably about 1689 (The tombstone inscription, as given in Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, XXVII (1919), 186, states that at her death 17 December 1735, Anne was "In the 16th year of her age." This is clearly erroneous and perhaps the "1" should be a "4" making it the 46th year of her age, which would put her birthdate in 1689.)
