who, according to
ancient authors, was born at Volaterrae in Etruria; but some modern
writers conclude that he was born at Lunae Portus in Liguria, from the
following lines (Sat. VI. 6.), which seem to relate to the place of his
residence:

"Mihi nunc Ligus ora
Intepet, hybernatque _meum_ mare, qua latus ingens
Dant scopuli, et multa littus se valle receptat.
_Lunai portum_ est operae cognoscere, cives."

When approaching the verge of manhood, Persius became the pupil of
Cornutus the Stoic, and his death took place before he had completed
his twenty-eighth year.]

_Gresebrok in Yorkshire._--Can you or any of your correspondents give me
any information as to what part of Yorkshire the manor of Gresebrok lies
in? In Shaw's _History of Staffordshire_ (2 vols. folio), there is a
"Bartholomew de Gresebrok" mentioned as witness to a deed of Henry III.'s
times made between Robert de Grendon, Lord of Shenston, and Jno. de
Baggenhall; which family of Gresebrok, it is said, "probably took their
name from a _manor so called in Yorkshire_, and had property and residence
in Shenstone, from this early period to the beginning of the century, many
of whom are recorded in the registers from 1590 to 1722."

The above is quoted by Shaw from Sanders's _History of Shenstone_, p. 98.,
and perhaps some of your correspondents may possess that work, and will
oblige me by transcribing the necessary information.

Any particulars of the above family will much oblige your constant reader

[According to Sanders, the family of Greisbrook was formerly of some
note at Shenstone. He says that "Greisbrook, whence the family had
their name, is a manor in Yorkshire, which, in the reign of Henry III.,
was in the great House of Mowbray, of whom the Greisbrooks held their
lands. Roger de Greisbrook (temp. Henry II.) is mentioned as holding of
the fee of Alice, Countess of Augie, or Ewe, daughter of William de
Albiney, Earl of Arundel, by Queen Alice, relict of Henry I." Then
follow some particulars of various branches of the family, from the
year 1580 to the death of Robert Greisbrook in 1718. Sanders's History
is included in vol. ix. of _Bibliotheca Topographica Britannica_.]
