Third time lucky I hope! This time I'll try not to hit the tab key before checking my spelling! My friend also said that the Musgraves arrived in England with William the conqueror and adopted the name somewhat later. They were sent north to discourage Scots raiders and later took over Featherstone Castle, which is still habitable, a few miles south of Haltwhistle. He said Musgrave means "valley of rats", so I suppose an alternative description would be "ratty grove".
