Patrick and Mary's youngest child was born three months after Patrick died, leaving Mary to raise seven young children on her own.

Patrick was a farmer. He held title to Lot E, in Block 30, containing 100 acres on the eastern bank of the Magaguadavic River with Pratt Brook running through the lot. This lot was granted by the Crown to Patrick in 1853. Indenture No. 14361, dated 17 Jan 1859 shows that Patrick sold this lot to his father. In his father's Will, his father bequeaths this lot to Patrick's wife Mary. Indenture No. 32756, dated 23 Nov 1882 shows Mary sold this lot that she had inherited from her father-in-law to George Grieve, who was then a railway employee. It is believed that this was her son George A. S. Grieve.

They had the following children:
109 i. William Grieve
110 ii. George Alexander Smith Grieve
111 iii. John Henry "Jack" Grieve
112 iv. Thomas Patrick Grieve
113 v. Robert Piercy "Bob" Grieve
114 vi. Joseph Wesley "Joe" Grieve
115 vii. Eleanor Turnbull Grieve
