William Menlove Dawes

I also have a Menlove Dawes in my family tree, but not a William. He is Richard Brookholding Menlove Dawes who I think is the grandson of Robert Dawes (b. 1733) and Sarah and therefore a nephew of Robert's son William Menlove Dawes (b. 1773). I have also seen 'Menlove' spelt 'Manlove' and 'Mendlove' in various different places.
Not sure why the Williams in particular take Menlove as their middle name-presumably because its Sarah's maiden name, although William Menlove Dawes has 5 elder brothers that I am aware of so it seems strange that it is him that takes the name. Do you know the name of Sarah's grandfather, was he William Menlove?
Don't know if this helps you too much I'm afraid! Do you by any chance have any information on the Dawes prior to Robert and Sarah? If any of the information I have from my family tree might be of use please don't hesitate to e-mail me!
Thanks
Andrew.
