gerefa

Is it true that the German 'Graf', Dutch 'graaf' "count"
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graf
http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graaf_%28titel%29
is not connected to English 'reeve' (OE gerefa, ->? surname 'Grieve')
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reeve_%28England%29
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-reeve
? They aren't in the dictionaries at my disposal.
