From https://borthcat.york.ac.uk/index.php/musg :
The Musgraves were a Cambridgeshire family. Peete Musgrave was born in 1756, the son of William and Maria Musgrave. A prominent tailor and woollen draper of Cambridge, he was known for his support of the Whig Party. In 1779 he married Sarah Betts and the couple’s children included Thomas, born in 1788, and Charles born 1792.
Both Thomas and Charles were educated at the University of Cambridge before entering the church. Thomas Musgrave rose to become Bishop of Hereford in 1837 and then Archbishop of York in 1848. His brother Charles was vicar of Whitkirk between 1821 and 1826 and then of Halifax from 1827 to his death in 1875. He was also first Archdeacon of Craven from 1836.
