Abraham Grimshaw 
Abraham was born in 1657 in Rawden and his baptism took place there on April 25th, 1658.1 Birth Notes
John was the 4th son, and Joshua the third, so we were missing one. Not surprising when you see how faded and poorly recorded are these ancient baptism records are. The tree is now thought to be complete.
Born: Guiseley, St Oswald, West Yorkshire, England
