EXPLANATORY NOTE.
This Genealogy is arranged on what is known as the " Register plan,"
used by the N. E. Historic Genealogical Society. The emigrant ancestor
of each line (Reinold or Matthew), as the head of that Hne, is numbered
I. Following the sketch of his life are the names of his children (see
page 35 for those of Reinold, and page 297 for those of Matthew) ; when
an Arabic numeral is prefixed to the name of one of these children it in-
dicates that such child became the head of a family, and an account of
that family will be found under the corresponding number on a subse-
quent page. Thus Reinold,^ the son of the emigrant, appears as the
seventh child of his father Reinold,' on page 35 ; the number 3, prefixed
to his name, shows he is taken up again ; turning forward to that number
in its consecutive order (see page 38), his history is given, and in the list
of his children on page 41, his son Reinolds is numbered 6; turning for-
ward again No. 6 is found on page 48, where his history is given, and so
onward. The small superior figure denotes the generation, the emigrants
being reckoned as the first, though as will be seen, their ancestral line is
carried back in the Chapter on " The English Ancestry." In most cases
a daughter's children are given under the name of their mother (see Intro-
ductory Note, page 7). When a daughter's line is carried forward the
same system obtains.
To trace one's ancestral line backward, the name to be traced having .
been found in the Index, the process above described is simply reversed.
For example, the name of one of the compilers is indexed as to be found
on page 204; his number there is 184; turning backward, this number
will be found at the left of his name on page 136, where he appears as
the son of No. 89 ; turning backward again, 89 must be sought in the left
hand margin ; it appears on page 99, and his father is No. 44 ; in this
way any line can be followed backward to the first of the name.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE
HE foundation of the present volume was laid by the
late Theophilus R. Marvin, in a little book of 56
pages, entitled " Genealogical Sketch of the Descend-
ants of Reinold and Matthew Marvin," printed in
1845 and 1848. Genealogical research had then
attracted but few students, and his work was undertaken solely "with
the hope of tracing the direct line of his ancestry to the first emigrant
to this country," in which he was successful. To this he added par-
ticulars of a few collateral lines, which he had obtained in his search.
He printed a more systematic arrangement of the material gathered
concerning the earlier generations in the New England Genealogical
and Historical Register, Volume XVI, pp. 235 et seq. In rSSg his
son, Wm. T. R. Marvin, one of the compilers of the present volume,
was asked by Prof, and Mrs. Edward E. Salisbury, of New Haven —
the latter a descendant of Reinold — to prepare a Monograph of the
family history from the papers and correspondence left by his father.
This they privately printed in 1892, in the third volume of " Family
Histories and Genealogies," with four Pedigree Charts which, with
those of other families, trace the ancestral lines of Mrs. Salisbury.
In that, however, the Matthew line was only incidentally mentioned,
though given more fully in the Pedigrees.
Many years previous to the appearance of those sumptuous volumes
Mr. George F. Marvin, associate compiler of the present work, had
become interested in the genealogy of the family, through a study of
the " Sketch " mentioned above, a copy of which had been presented
to him by the late Hon. James M. Marvin, of Saratoga, N. Y., and
thus for several years, the compilers, each without the knowledge
6 Introductory Note
of the other, were working on similar lines, until a few years ago a
letter of inquiry from one of these to the other disclosed the fact.
The happy discovery by the late Mr. William S. Appleton, well
known as an ardent genealogist, of a reference to " Reinold Marvin "
in a will preserved in Somerset House, London, led to the publica-
tion, in 1900, of " The English Ancestry of Reinold and Matthew
Marvin," and the time seemed to have come for printing what we
had found concerning their descendants. The results of our joint
labors are here assembled.
It is but justice to his associate for the writer to say that Mr.
George F. Marvin has not only supplied necessary funds, but has
been indefatigable in his efforts to give a completeness to the book
which it would not otherwise have possessed, and in conducting the
larger part of the correspondence — especially in his own direct line,
that of Matthew. Failure to obtain desired information in one direc-
tion seems to have inspired him with a more determined purpose to
secure it from some other source, and generally with success. With-
out his aid this volume could not have been printed.
We gratefully acknowledge the cordial assistance of the late Judge
Richard P. Marvin, of Jamestown, N. Y., and of his son, Mr. Richard
P. Marvin, of Akron, Ohio ; of Messrs. William H. Marvin, of West-
port, Homer Rockwell, of Norwalk, and Hon. Edwin E. Marvin, of
Hartford, Ct. ; the late Gen. Selden E. Marvin, of Albany, Miss Mary
Aletta Marvin, of Walton, Mrs. Mary A. Hubbard, of Chittenango,
Mrs. Harriet Pinckney Huse, of " The Rocks," Highland Falls, and
Dr. David M. Marvin, of New York city, N. Y. ; Mr. Sylvester S.
Marvin, of Philadelphia, and Mrs. Thomas Dickson, of Scranton, Pa. ;
the late Mrs. Julia C. Smalley, of Swanton, and Miss Vienna Jane
Marvin, of East Berkshire, Vt. ; Dr. John J. Marvin, of Pleasant
Ridge, and Mr. William Marvin, of Findlay, Ohio ; Mr. Albert E.
Beckwith, of Elkhorn, and Mrs. Rosa B. Marvin, of Oregon, Wis.
Our indebtedness to many others is frequently shown in the following
pages. We desire also to mention our high appreciation of the aid
rendered by Mr. James S. Rogers, of Boston, and Hon. Nathaniel W.
Howell, of Washingtonville, N. Y., who though not sharing our blood
have given invaluable help. There are no more pleasant memories
associated with our work than those of the autumn days of 1903,
when the writer visited with them the homes and burial-places of
many of our kindred in the eastern counties of New York, and
studied their records. Only two instances of a refusal to furnish
desired information are recalled.
Introductory Note 7
In addition to numberless letters of inquiry and a careful search of
original authorities by experienced assistants, many personal visits
have been made to various towns in Connecticut, Massachusetts and
New York ; and thanks are due for courtesies received. In Lyme,
Hon. William Marvin, Judge of Probate, rendered sympathetic aid ;
in Norwalk, where the ancient records, long neglected, have been
beautifully copied and finely indexed, we were given every facility ;
in Fairfield we were shown the original wills of Matthew and his
widow, Alice Bouton Marvin, that of her son John Bouton, and the
inventories of their estates; in Hartford, Mr. C. W. Manwaring
showed us the original will of Reinold, long supposed to be lost, and his
inventory; Mr. Frank Farnsworth Starr, of Middletown, Ct., was of
great service in settling the puzzling question as to the name of the
husband of Reinold's daughter Mary, which has long bafHed genealo-
gists. In spite of all our efforts, there remain a number of lines
which we have found it impossible to trace. We have sometimes
been obliged to decide which of two or more conflicting statements
concerning members of the same family should be accepted, and in a
very few cases to offer conjectural dates, which have been noted, we
think, in every instance.
No doubt errors will be found, which have escaped us, but, unless
otherwise stated, our data are based on family or official records which
are given as furnished us, even to the various modes of spelling ; wills
and inventories have been literally copied, and for the earlier records
of military service we have usually cited our authority. Some addi-
tional data, received too late for insertion in proper order, will be
found on the pages immediately preceding the Index.
It was found impossible without greatly enlarging the book to carry
down the lines of descent from daughters beyond the second or third
generation, and this has prevented any reference to many distin-
guished names. In an address at the Norwich (Ct.) Jubilee (printed
on page 198 et seq. of the volume giving an account of that celebra-
tion), the late Chancellor Reuben H. Walworth, of New York, him-
self of the Matthew line, has a long catalogue of the prominent men
descended from the daughters of Matthew Marvin. One of the
Pedigree Charts alluded to above contains some of these, and it will
not be out of place to mention here that from Mary^ Marvin came
Samuels Huntington, one of the signers of the Declaration of Inde-
pendence, Governor and Chief Justice of Connecticut ; his nephew
Samuel* Huntington, Governor and Chief Justice of Ohio ; Enoch H.
Rosekrans, of the Supreme Court of New York ; Samuel Lee Selden,
8 Introductory Note
Judge of the Court of Appeals of New York ; Hon. Lyman Trumbull,
U. S. Senator from Illinois ; Rt. Rev. Thos. F. Vail, Bishop of Kan-
sas; Rev. Eleazar Wheelock, and his son, Col. John Wheelock,
Presidents of Dartmouth College, and Rev. John T.7 Kirkland, Pres-
ident of Harvard. From Sarah, another daughter of Matthew, came
Hon. Chaunqf* Goodrich, Chief Justice of Minnesota under its Terri-
torial organization. Prof. Chauncey A. Goodrich, of Yale, and Samuel
G.7 Goodrich (" Peter Parley"). Rev. James* Lockwood, a grandson
of Rachel,' refused an election to the presidency of Yale and of
Princeton ; from Rachel was also descended the distinguished jurist
Chancellor James Kent.
Equally conspicuous names are also found in the female lines from
Reinold. Morrison M. Waite, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of
the United States, was from his grand-daughter Mary3 ; Stephen and
Homer E. Royce, both Chief Justices, and the first a Governor of
Vermont ; Capt. Charles E.' Clark, commander of the Oregon on her
famous voyage, and others, are mentioned on subsequent pages.
The list might be greatly extended, but we must refer the reader to
the works cited above. Others less conspicuous before the public,
but perhaps not less useful in their lives, — clergymen, and teachers,
soldiers and citizens, have done faithful service in upbuilding the
nation and discharging their duties " in the various stations to which
it pleased God to call them." Surely then, the children of Reinold
and Matthew Marvin, as they read the record, may cherish the
memory of their fathers.

DESCENDANTS OF
REINOLD AND MATTHEW MARVIN
ENGLISH ANCESTRY
HE name Marvin is found in several counties of
England as early as the beginning of the fif-
teenth century. Of various families bearing this
name who are mentioned in the Visitations of
Wilts, Somerset, Hampshire, and others, perhaps
the most prominent in the fifteenth century was that of Sir
John Marvin, of Fonthill Abbey, Wiltshire, who was the grand-
son of a Richard Marvyn, who died in the seventeenth year
of Henry VI. This family had branches in the neighboring
southern counties, notably at Pertwood, not far from the Dorset
boundary ; in Wormister, Somerset, and in other parishes in
that vicinity. The fine estate of Fonthill Abbey, in the parish
of Hindon, held by Marvins for more than two centuries, long
since passed out of the name ; the Pertwood branch is believed
to be extinct in the male line of descent ; Sir Henry Marvyn
Vavasour, Baronet, of Spaldington, was its representative in
1868. No connection between the Marvins of Wiltshire and
those of Essex, where our ancestors were living two centuries
before the emigration to New England, has been found.
Some notes on the Wiltshire Marvins and their armorial bear-
ings, are given in the Marvin Monograph, in " Family Histories
lo English Ancestry of
and Genealogies;" * but to these arms the descendants of Rein-
old and Mathew have no claim. Our ancestors were "yeomen,"
all in our direct and collateral lines so far as we have traced
them, owning the lands they occupied or inherited ; many derived
income from the tenants who held under them, as will be seen
later ; but none of them appear to have used any armorial de-
vice, that we have been able to discover, although several inter-
married with "armorial families."!
In the Visitations of Essex:j: there is a single allusion to the
name, where Lancelot Marvin is mentioned as having married
Elizabeth Vavasor ; she had a brother who lived at Waltham
Abbey, Essex ; her father was of " Akaster, Yorkshire." We
have not attempted to trace this Lancelot, but there were other
Marvin families in Essex, ^ — one branch residing at Lexden,
about twenty miles west of Ramsey, contemporaneously with
our own ancestral line, — to which we have found references,
though whether related to them or not, we do not know.
The first of the name who came with the intention of making
his home in New England was Matthew, who arrived in 1635,
probably landing at Boston in June of that year. There had
been at least one Marvin in America before him, for a " Master
Maruyn " was one of Sir Walter Raleigh's colony in 1585, and
remained " one whole yeere in Virginia, vnder the Government
* Published by Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Salisbury ; III : 80 et seg., and author-
ities there cited. Briefly they are, on a black shield three lions one above an-
other, each half silver and half gold ; crest, a squirrel cracking a nut. A blazon
in heraldic terms is needless, and because of a prevailing misapprehension that
" arms belong to a name," it should be stated emphatically that the assumption or
use of these, by American Marvins, would imply a claim which has no foundation
whatever.
t For an explanation of the meaning of " yeoman " at the period under notice,
see an admirable article in "The Ancestor," for April, 190Z, pp. 58 et seq., and es-
pecially the note on p. 63 ; for the armorial privileges of yeomen of landed estates,
see pp. 82 et seq., of the same article. Sir George R. Sitwell, Bart., the author,
married a daughter of the Earl of Londesborough, and his own arms are certified
by Fox Davies, in his " Armorial Families," a well known authority ; it is evident
therefore that in assuming his position, which is quite different from that gen-
erally held in England, he has no personal cause to plead.

Reinold and Matthew Marvin ii
of Master Ralph Lane."* From what part of England he came
has not been learned, but he certainly was not of our direct
ancestral line, and his party seems to have returned to England
1 8 June, 1586.
In the printed Records of Massachusetts (II: 215) we find
that a Thomas "Marvill" was brought before the General Court
1 1 Nov., 1647. The entry is as follows : —
Thomas Marvill his case consid''ed about seling a gunn ignorantly
to y^ Indians : & being credibly informed y' himselfe discove''ed his
offence to a ma''^"^, & bought anoth' peace from y^ same Indians, &c.,
his fine is remitted.
This was probably the Thomas Marvin named in the records
of the town of Newbury, Mass., under date of 27 April, 1648, as
a similar confusion in the spelling of the family name is not un-
common on the old records and tombstones. Apparently he
had no children. He died in Newbury, 28 Nov., 165 1. He
may have been the elder brother Thomas of Reinold and Mat-
thew, but of this we have found no evidence.
In 1649 there was a Robert Marvin in Southampton, Long
Island : Reinold the emigrant had a brother Robert, and also a
nephew of the same name, as will appear below ; it is possible
that the Long Island Robert was his nephew, but this has not
been established, and no effort has been made to trace his de-
scendants in the present volume. f
Matthew Marvin was followed to New England about two
years later by his elder brother Reinold, or Reginold, as his
* See " Sir Walter Raleigh and his Colony in America." Prince Society Pub-
lications, pp. 141, et seq.
t For all that is known concerning Thomas of Newbury, see Coffin's " History
of Newbury," p. 49, and " The English Ancestry of Reinold and Matthew Mar-
vin," p. 146: for notes on the descendants of Robert, see Appendix to the latter
volume, p. 168, and works there cited. There are Marvins in Portsmouth, N. H.,
and in Boston and Cambridge, Mass., who have no connection with the brothers
who settled at Hartford, Ct. In the latter part of the last century a family of our
name from the south of England settled in one of the Western States. Within
a few years a Russian family, " Marvinsky," who settled in New Jersey, have
dropped the last syllable, thus taking our name. With these exceptions, the
American Marvins, so far as known, are believed to be descendants of Reinold,
Matthew, or Robert.

name is often given on the early records. The precise time of
his arrival, and the name of the vessel in which he came, have
not been ascertained: his estate was charged with the "Ship
Money Tax" in Essex, in 1637, in which year he was living in
Great Bentley, but he was a resident of Hartford, Ct., in 1638,
whither Matthew had preceded him, the latter being " one of the
twelve very earliest emigrants " whose names are known, and
one of those who "formed the company thereafter known as
' Adventurers,' to whom belonged the section of about thirty-
five acres known as ' Venturers' Field,' on the Hartford records."
Matthew therefore was in Hartford as early as November, 1635.
A volume entitled "The English Ancestry of Reinold and
Matthew Marvin, their Homes and Parish Churches," * gives a
very full account of the family in the mother country, with
numerous wills, etc. (to some of which we shall refer) ; it con-
tains the results of a careful search made among the records at
Somerset House, London, and those at Ipswich, Suffolk, and an
examination of Registers of various parishes in that vicinity, of
sufficient antiquity to promise any light on the subject. It
would be inexpedient to reprint these documents at length in
the present volume, but we are permitted to use what is
needed to show the direct line of descent of the New England
emigrants, which is established beyond question by those re-
searches : to these will be be added some further facts, and in
particular one or two corrections in the family record of Edward
Marvin, the father of Reinold and Matthew, obtained since that
volume appeared.
The English home of our ancestors, for more than a century
and a half before the emigration, was in the north-easterly part
of the county of Essex. A hundred years before that, or early
in the fifteenth century, we find several Marvin families living
in and near Ipswich, Suffolk (only about ten miles north of
the home of the grandfather of Reinold the emigrant and his
brothers), and in some of the parishes between that ancient

is cited in this work as " English Ancestry."

town and the Essex border. We have the will of Roger Mar-
vyn, of Ipswich, who must have been born as early as 1435 ; of
a Robert, also of Ipswich, born in 1432 or earlier, and of sev-
eral of their descendants who resided nearer the Essex line —
in the parishes of Washbrook, Chattisham, Hintlesham (where
there is still standing a Marvin gravestone of very ancient date),
Belstead, and Copdocke, all in Suffolk, and but a few miles from
Ramsey, Essex, which borders on the river Stour, which sepa-
rates the two counties ; in Copdocke one William Marven was
Church-warden of St. Peter's, in November, 1547, and families
bearing our name are living there at the present time. The
connection between the Suffolk families and those of Essex,
although they were near neighbors, has not been clearly estab-
lished, and while there are reasons for supposing they were
more or less closely related, the history of the family to be
given in this work may well begin at a point where there is no
uncertainty.
Leaving Harwich, a port on the North Sea at the mouth of
the Stour, in the north-easterly corner of Essex, — where we
find a Thomas Marvin with his family living contemporaneously
with the grandfather of Reinold and Matthew, but of whom
we know only what may be learned from his will and that of his
widow, — and travelling westward, one passes to the north of the
older parish of Dovercourt, with its venerable and interesting
church, dedicated to All Saints (near which some of the Mar-
vins owned property), and arrives at Ramsey. This is a village
in Tendring Hundred, sixty-eight miles north of London, and
three miles west of Harwich. It borders on the Stour, which at
its junction with the Orwell makes the harbor of Harwich.
The eastern part of Ramsey was anciently known as Michael-
stowe : here stands the Church of St. Michael the Archangel,
built in the days of the Normans, probably about iioo, with its
massive square tower of " Purbeck stone," the lower portion
overgrown with ivy, and the whole building venerable with years.
The chancel is long, and the chancel windows are of unusual
form, with square headings. In this Church "Rynalde Mer-
vyn," the grandfather of the emigrants, in his will made 22
14 English Ancestry of
Dec, 1554, of which the date of probate has not been found,
after bequeathing his "Soule to Almyghte God my maker,"
directed his body "to be buryed," but the stone which marked
his grave is no longer /'''\J_ ' jr\
to be seen. His origi- [^iP^ A^ ^.,^^ ^x^^^toi
nal will, on parchment,
from which his signa- ^^
ture (Per me Rynald , .
Mervyn) is here re- (•
produced, is preserved in Somerset House, London, and is
printed in full in " English Ancestry."
It will interest some of our readers to know that in the sum-
mer of 1902, Mr. John R. Marvin (son of one of the compilers),
a descendant of "Rynalde " in the tenth generation, visited this
Church, and by the kind invitation of its Vicar, the Rev. W.
Hurst, vested, read the Lessons in the Evening Service, and
presented the Offertory at the altar where his ancestors had
worshiped more than three and a half centuries ago.
Among the estates mentioned by Rynalde in his will was one
in the northern part of Ramsey, called "The Ray,"- — a penin-
sula formed by a small stream flowing north-easterly into the
Stour, and crossed, not far south of its junction with that river,
by " Ramsey Bridge," once a long structure of timber, now re-
placed by one of stone with a single arch, " in the great road
from Harwich, and kept up at the charge of the county." We
find several legacies in Marvin wills of the sixteenth century, for
its repair.
After crossing Ramsey Bridge, near which several families
of Marvins owned estates from 1540 onward, and probably
long before that date, and proceeding a few rods northward, we
come to a road which turns off to the westward, passing Ramsey
Hall on the left, held at the time we are considering or a little
later, by John Herde. One branch of this continues south-
westerly through parts of Wix and Great Oakley, to the south ;
the other branch turns directly north for a short distance, cross-
ing the main road and continuing to Wrabness station. Not far
away is Roydon Hall, once the home of the Lucases, a family
which interests us from the fact that the acknowledgment of
Reinold and Matthew Marvin 15
John Lucas, made in his will in 1599, that he owed "To Rey-
nold Marvine of Ramsey in the Countie of Essex, yoman, Tenne
poundes," supplied the long-sought clue to the English home.*
The main road, after crossing Ramsey Bridge, is called
" Ramsey Street '' ; it runs north-westerly and then west, pass-
ing through Wrabness near the northern boundary of Wix,
which adjoins Wrabness on the south and south-west. At the
corner made by the road to Wrabness station already men-
tioned, on the left, and a little more than two miles from
Ramsey bridge, stood the house of the father of Reinold and
Matthew, Edward Marvin, who had inherited it from his father
Rynalde (or Reinold), the first of that name known to us.
" Sturwood," mentioned in several wills as Marvin property, is
on the north-east corner, and the estate of Rynalde was diago-
nally opposite, on the south-west. " Spinel's," mentioned in
Edward's will, is the next estate west. For four generations
certainly, this corner was held by direct descent in the Marvin
family ; Rynalde' left it to his son Edward,^ who bequeathed it
to Edward,3 Jr., who in his will, made i March, 1622-3, gave it
to his children. We are able to identify it with absolute cer-
tainty by the will last mentioned, which describes its bounda-
ries ; j- it is a little over five miles east of Manningtree Junction,
and six and a half miles west of Harwich.
Rynalde owned other estates in this vicinity, and we know
from the wills that about 1540, and earlier, several families, —
three brothers, Rynalde, just mentioned, John and Thomas, and
their sister. Christian, with their children — were living there.
The relationship of these is shown by the wills of Rynalde and
Thomas. The name of their father, who must have been born
about 1480 or earlier, we have been unable to discover. There
was a John of suitable age, a descendant of the Ipswich fami-
* This Reynold was not our ancestor, though it would seem a near relative of
the family.
t Printed at length in " Enghsh Ancestry," pp. 141-5. The parish boundaries
of Ramsey, Wrabness and Wix, come together near this corner, which is shown
on the English Ordnance maps, and on Gall & Inglis's " Half-inch Maps for Cy-
clists," No. 28. The Bridgefoot Farm, once owned by a John Marvin, is also
shown on the Ordnance Map, near St. Michael's, east of Ramsey Bridge, and like
" Spinel's " and " Sturwood," still retains its name.
1 6 English Ancestry of
lies named above, of whom some particulars are given in " En-
glish Ancestry," but "Reinold " occurs so frequently in various
connected families at that period, and has been so constantly a
family name until the present day, that some may prefer to
believe it was that of the father of our earliest known ancestor.
As to this we know nothing more.
A "Robert Marven of Ramsey," whose wife was "I shell
," in his will, dated lo Dec, 1556, which was witnessed by
" thomas Herde," the husband of Christian Marvin, and proved
19 January following, mentions a sister Ann, who married
Robert Borflete. He leaves legacies to several grandchildren,
and bequeathes xxj. each to his two "godsons," Reinold and
John Marvin.* He also makes bequests to individuals named
by Rynalde, in his will, but neither Robert nor Isbell name any
sons. His widow died between 2 Jan., 1560, the date of her
will, and 6 June following, when it was probated ; this last will
supplies the name of one of Robert's daughters, "Sissely"
(Cicely), who married John Blosse or Blois,f — a name often
found in Ipswich, Suffolk, and its vicinity, at that period.
It is evident from these two wills that Robert had other
daughters beside Sissely, and there were certainly five, and pos-
sibly nine grandchildren living in 15 56, J of whom one at least,
was of age. Clearly therefore he must have been born as early
as 1490, and probably earlier. Whether Wrabness or Ramsey
was his native parish can not now be ascertained ; the Parish
Registers of the latter, previous to 1645, are lost, and those of
Wrabness are later ; he was taxed ten shillings on his " mova-
bles " in Ramsey, in 1540, and owned "bowses and landes "
there, both free and copyhold, and an estate of farm lands in
"Much Oakley," called "Puttytes," when he died. He styles
himself "of Ramsey'' in his will, bequeathes his "Soule to
almightie God and to the CelestiaU company of yeven," and
directs his "bodye to be beriede in the church of Ramsey."
* As suggested in " English Ancestry," these may have been two of the
brothers named above, or they may have been the sons of John, the brother of
Rynalde.

This, as we have seen, was St. Michael's, a favorite saint in the
Middle Ages, from the fact that William the Conqueror reached
England on the "eve of St. Michael's Mass." *
Nothing has been found of this Robert, save what may be
learned from his will ; the names of his godsons, and the legacies,
already mentioned, seem to indicate a close relationship with
Rynalde, but we are unable to define it. We note however
that Robert's will was made two years later than Rynalde's ; it
makes no allusion to Thomas or Christian ; neither does Ry-
nalde or Thomas mention Robert or Ann. Yet as Robert left
a number of grandchildren, while of Rynalde's six children none
of his sons were of age in 1554, we judge that the latter was
considerably the younger. It is possible that Robert was a
younger brother of Rynalde's father.
The relative ages of the three brothers named above, and of
their sister, can only be inferred from their wills.f From these
we judge that Thomas' was the youngest ; of the other two,
John' certainly survived Rynalde,' and was living in 1561, when
Thomas made his will, which mentions " Raynold Marveyn lat
of Ramsey deceased." Thomas' left but one child, while John,'
who seems to have survived him, had four or more, and Rynalde
who died before him, had six.
John' Marvin was, with little doubt, the "John of Ramsey,"
taxed there in 1540, on "his movables, \2s: 6d." That he
married and had issue is also evident from the wills of his
brothers, but these do not give their names. His own will
has not been found, but a comparison of those which we have,
enables us to assign to John,' with strong probability, the fol-
lowing children :
i. Elizabeth,^ b. about 1532 ; living in 1571 ; m. John Hayle of
Ramsey, and had issue,
ii. John, b. about 1534 ?, or earlier; d. early in 1571 (will
dated " xxx'" January ... 1570 "), leaving issue.
* That is, 28 September; see "Anglo-Saxon Chronicle," cited in the "Calen-
dar of the Prayer Book," Oxford and London, 1866.
t The wills (printed verbatim), from which these deductions are drawn, as to
the children and the years of birth, are given in " English Ancestry." This ap-
plies to all the EngUsh families.

brecke," Suffolk, and had a son John.^
V. Reynold ? , b. ; perhaps the " godson " of Robert, and

Thomas' was born perhaps about 15 19 or later, as his name
is not found among those taxed in Ramsey in 1540. He mar-
ried Mrs. Barbara Brett, who had three children by a previous
husband ; they are named by Thomas in his will, dated 14 Oct.,
1 561, in which he calls himself of Ramsey; he mentions lands,
both free and copyhold, in that parish ; estates in tittle Oakley
called "Brandons" and " Claypittes," and property in Suffolk
county, not named. This, with various Suffolk marriages of
Essex Marvins, suggests a connection between the Suffolk and
Essex branches.* He had but one son, evidently very young
when his father died, as the will provided that he should be sent
to "scoole and learnynge by all the space of x yeares." In case
of the death of this child the lands and houses were to be sold,
and the proceeds equally divided among " the Chyldren as well
of my brother John Merven, and of Raynold Merveyn lat of
Ramsey deceased, and also Amonge the Chyldren of thomas
Herde my brother ... by Christian Marven."

The will of her brother Thomas,' made in 1561, shows that she
had recently died, as it refers to the " chyldren y« which " her
husband " latly had by his lat wyf Christian Marven," but of
these the will gives nothing more. She married Thomas Herde,
who seems to have belonged to a family of some prominence, —
Ramsey Hall (about a mile west from Ramsey Bridge), was
owned by one John Herde in 1599. Thomas Herde was the
executor of the will of Thomas' Marvin, and was living in 1571.
He also witnessed that of Robert Marvin of Ramsey, and is per-

haps the " ffreynd Thomas Hurre " made " supervysor " by
Robert.*
The other, and we judge the eldest brother, was " Raynold
Marven of Ramsey " as he is called by the writer of his will, or
" Rynalde Mervyn " as he signed it. From him we trace our
lineage. He must have been born about 15 14, or earlier, for he
had six children living 22 Dec, 1554, the date of his will.f
The date of his death does not appear, but it was before 14 Oct.,
1 561. He married Johan , who survived him, and whom
he appointed executrix. He left "xxvjj: viij^.," for Ramsey
Bridge "to be payd when y' y* a making or a mending," and
gave direction that he should be interred in St. Michael's.
Rynalde' owned various estates in Ramsey, which he named
in dividing them among his children. One of these, with its
tenement and lands, was "Benettes : " another was "Genettes,"
which, with its lands, he had bought of John Dave. On "the
Ray " he had lands which he styles " my f erme of East HauU
[shown on the maps cited above], and the Ray, and Barwycke,"
where he pastured sheep, for he gave the " yewes " there to his
widow. In Wrabness he owned a " tenement with landes ther-
to be longyng, both free and copye," no doubt the corner prop-
erty already located. These estates he left to his widow "for
term of her lyfe," after which they were to be divided among
his three sons. The Wrabness property went to Edward, =" who
left it to his son Edward,^ and he to his children, as stated. J
Rynalde calls himself a "yeoman," and with the rentals from
his tenants, and the products of his various farms, was evidently
in very comfortable circumstances. In the " Exchequer Lay
Subsidy" of 1540, he was taxed "xx shillings."
Children :
i. Richard,^ b. ; he inherited "Benettes,'' but we know
nothing further.
* These facts, with his bequests (p. 16 supra), seem to corroborate the theory
that Robert was a relative of Rynalde, Christian and their brothers.
t This " Raynold " cannot have been the one named by Lucas, whose will was
made forty years later (1599), nor can the latter be our New England ancesstor,
who was then a child of five years of age. As stated above, Reynold the creditor,
was very likely a son of Rynalde's brother John.

bara and her brother John^ (iii) appear to have lived in
Little Oakley, perhaps on lands which John" Marvin be-
queathed to Rynalde's children, in case of the death of
Matthew^ without heirs.
The children are arranged in the order in which they
are named in their father's will; the dates of birth are
unknown.
The Register of St. Mary's, Great Bentley, has the baptism,
13 Feb., 1605/6, of "Edward Marvin, son of William Marvin
and Margaret his wife." This William was certainly not the
son of Rynalde" or Thomas' ; he may have been a son of John'
above, or more probably of one of Rynalde's sons, but we are
unable to place him.
* This name is the East Anglian corruption of Etheldreda, a celebrated Saint
in that part of England, whose feast-day was 17 October. See " Calendar of the
Prayer Book," as cited, pp. 114, 115. Whether the custom of naming children
for the Saints on whose feasts their birth-days occurred was followed in her case
or her sisters', we cannot tell. The names of the sons were evidently " family
Reinold and Matthew Marvin 21
As a full account of other Marvin families in Ramsey has
been printed in " English Ancestry," it seems needless to give
particulars of them here ; we shall mention only one : —
John^ Marvin of Ramsey, was probably a nephew of Rynalde'
(the son of his brother John'), and born about ? 1534; he died
in 1571 ; in his will he calls himself a cousin of "Barbara,"
whom we take to be the daughter of Rynalde.* He lived in
comfortable style near the "Bridge-foot," in a housef of which a
glimpse of the rooms and furniture is given in his will. He had
two sons, John3 and Robert, and owned lands in Ramsey and
Great Oakley.
One of these sons, John,^ married (i) a daughter of Hierom
Gilbert, or Guilberd, a brother of the famous William Gilbert,
"the Newton of his time," who was a "docter of physick and
phissition to Queen Elizabeth and James I." The Gilberts were
a prominent and wealthy family of Colchester, Essex, where
William was buried in Trinity Church ; the tomb bears the Gil-
bert arms. This marriage of John Marvin interests us chiefly
as showing something of his social standing, for his wife's de-
scent from the Wingfields, Talmaches, and Lady Anne Mon-
tague, daughter of the Earl of Salisbury, can be readily traced
in the Suffolk Visitations. He is believed to be the John
Marvin whose marriage, 30 Aug., 1585, to Margaret Swallow,
is recorded at St. Mary's, Great Bentley ; if so, she was his
second wife ; the date of her burial is given on St. Mary's Reg-
ister as I Dec, 1600; if our assignment is correct, she prob-
ably survived her husband, whose will, made when he was
"sicke in bodye" was dated 12 July, 1594.^
* " Cousin," as used in this will, probably had the present meaning ; the reasons
for this conclusion are given at length in " English Ancestry," pp. 91-2.
t The "Bridge-foot Farm" was just east of Ramsey Bridge; a house still
standing a short distance north of the bridge, on Ramsey Street, of great age,
was perhaps his residence, as it is still called " The Bridge-foot Farm ; " the cut
is from a photograph taken by Mr. John Reginold Marvin, of Brookline.
X We are greatly indebted to the Rev. Frank Willcox, Vicar of St. Mary's in
1902, for valuable extracts from his Parish Register, and information concerning
families there. He very kindly showed the ancient Church in which he ministers,
and its Registers from which he has since furnished us copies, to Mr. John R.
Marvin, in the summer of 1902. For notes on the Gilberts see " English Ances-
try," pp. 12^ et seq.
22 ^ English Ancestry of
Edward/ son of Rynalde' and Johan Marvin, was born in
Ramsey or Wrabness, and from a comparison of dates, about
1550, or a little earlier. As has been shown above, his father
had six children living in 1554, of whose relative ages we know
nothing. His birth-place is thought to have been the corner
estate, which by his father's will he was to inherit on his
mother's death, and which he bequeathed to his son Edward.'
. He also owned several farms in Ramsey and its vicinity, some
of which he disposed of to his sons before his death, confirming
the arrangement in his will. "Moye House and land of Moys,"
which can be located on the maps cited, near the boundary of
Ramsey and Great Oakley, and not far from the marshy shore
line of Tendring Hundred, he gave to his son Richard. Other
"landes, medowes, woodes and pasters" in the same neighbor-
hood, he gave to Reinold. Another son, Robert, took his lands
in Frating, a parish west of the Bentleys ; to Matthew, the
youngest son, was bequeathed "the mentchon howse called
Edons, alles [alias] Dreybrocks .... that I now dwelle in."
This mansion is in Great Bentley, still standing in good re-
pair and bearing its ancient name, though showing evidence of
various changes inside and out, since Edward died. The large
room on the main floor, with its carved beams in the ceiling,
and the stair-case to the chambers above, are thought to date
from the period when Edward lived there ; by the kindness of
the present occupants we are able to give views of the building
in its present condition. With this property Matthew further
received " ij Croftes of land called Hartles and Brocken Heddes,"
for which he was to pay to his mother every year during her
life, on the Feast of the Annunciation, and on St. Michael's
Day (25 March and 29 September), at the mansion, "the
full sume of Sexe Fowndes of good and Lawfull money of
England."
Edward^ died 13 or 14 Nov., 1615; his will is dated on the
1 3th, and the Register has this entry two days later : " Edward
Meruin was buried the xv* November." The will was, proved
17 January following. He married Margaret , who sur-
vived him. St. Mary's Register, under date of 28 May, 1633,
has : " Margaret Meruin widow of Edward Meruin dec^ buried."

Reinold and Matthew Marvin 23
He was probably married before he went to Great Bentley, as
the births of his elder children are not recorded there.
Whether Edward removed from his previous home because
of the troubles in St. Michael's, Ramsey, whose Vicar, John
White, according to a Presbyterian writer,* was "a scandalous
liver," and not long before had been "indicted for a common
barrater," we cannot tell; if all the charges made against him
were true, there would have been good reason for a change,
but no doubt allowance must be made for the troublous state of
affairs and the ecclesiastical contests at that time. White died
shortly before October, 1 592 ; the following June two of Ed-
ward's children were christened at Great Bentley. These are
the first of the name recorded there ; the Register begins in
1558, but some years are missing.
Great Bentley parish is in Tendring Hundred, Essex, ten
miles south-west of Ramsey. In early times it was largely
owned by the De Veres, and Great Bentley Green, a park or
common of forty-two acres, was once attached to the manor of
that family. Near this Green stands the Church of St. Mary,
in which the New England emigrants were christened. The
parish has an uneven surface, diversified with hill and dale, and
the village is pleasantly situated around the Green, which from
early times was a favorite place for "Fairs," — a prominent feat-
ure in the traditional customs of so many of the rural towns
of England. Sheep-raising was one of the chief occupations of
the people of this part of the county, and there was an annual
sheep-fair in Great Bentley on the last Friday in September,
and another for cattle on St. Swithun's Day (15 July); the
latter continued to be held as late as 1855, and possibly later.
St. Mary's Church is a venerable structure dating from the
days of the early Norman kings ; its architecture, originally
Norman, has been modified by repairs and restorations, so that
it is now partly of the decorated gothic style. The last restora-
tion was in 1874, and extensive repairs were made in 1902 ; but
relics of the period when its services were conducted by clergy
of the Roman Church, may still be seen. It is built of a rough

stone of dark brown color, with a square tower fifty-five or sixty
feet in height, of the same material mingled with flints ; the top
is embattled, and it contains a peal of five bells. The chancel
is deep, and in general style the building is much like St.
Michael's in Ramsey ; the chancel arch is built of Roman bricks,
of great age.* The quaint carvings of the doors and windows
have been deemed worthy of careful description and detailed
drawings, which may be found in Hadfield's "Churches of
Essex."
St. Mary's was the scene of many religious troubles in the
days of the Tudors. One of the priests who officiated there
was the notorious Thomas Tye, during whose incumbency and
with whose approval occurred the martyrdom of several mem-
bers of the parish, described at length in " Fox's Martyrology."
Robert Dernell was parish priest when Reinold and Matthew
were baptized-, and William Simpson must have been the clergy-
man who, in 1635, testified that Matthew was "conformable,"
when he was about to sail for New England.
The chief estates, which for centuries had belonged to the
De Veres, had then passed to the Townshends, whose manor-
house or "Hall "was still a splendid and stately seat. This
was north of the Church, and not far away was the residence of
the Clares. Within a recent period the Rev. William A. Francis
was " Lord of the Manor." The Rev. Frank Willcox is (1902)
the present vicar.
As a result of a further search of the Parish Register some
entries have been found, which were overlooked by our agent in
his first examination of these records ; by these we are now
enabled to give a more complete account of Edward's children,
and of the marriage of his daughters, especially of Elizabeth,
and to correct an error as to her brother Reinold's birth. The
first son of that name, with his twin brother, died the day after
their baptism, and a second Reinold,! ^o^n the following year,
* Very full descriptions of both these Churches will be found in " English
Ancestry."
t This explanation is required, to account for some discrepancies between the
present statements and those previously printed, the discoveries having been
made after " English Ancestry " was issued.

proves to be the one from whom the American descendants of
that branch are derived.
Edward^ and Margaret Marvin had eleven children ; births of
only four are recorded at Great Bentley ; of the others the dates
are conjectural, but inferred from what is known to us.
Children ; those surviving at the death of their father are
arranged as given in his will :
i. Edward, 3 b. about 1581 ?; presumed from his name, and as
having been first mentioned, to be the eldest son.
ii. Thomas, b. about 1583?. By his father's will he was ap-
pointed " Superovicer ; " was given a " tenemente and car-
tain Landes " in Ramsey, where he was living in 1622, when
his brother Edward died, who also made him supervisor.
Unless he be the Thomas of Newbury, Mass., already men-
tioned, who d. 28 Nov., 1651, we know no more of him.
iii. Richard, b. about 1585 ?.
iv. Robert, b. about 1587 ?.
v. Margaret, b. about 1589 ? ; as she bore her mother's name she
was perhaps the eldest daughter ; d. at Great Bentley, where
her burial is recorded " 1595/6, Jan'y y'= 28"' day."
vi. Marie, b. about 1591 ?. The Register of St. Mary's has the
following entries, believed to refer to this daughter: " 1610.
John Hays and Marie Marvine were maried the xix"' of
Aprill." " Marie Hayse, the daughter of John Hayse, was
baptised the 22"" of March, 1610/11." "John Hayse, a
maried man, was buried the fifte daye of Octob : 1616."
" Richard Wood and Mary Hayes, widdow, marryed y^ 8 of
Decemb : 1618." He was executor of his wife's father's
will, and the record shows that in 1616, "John Baker and
John Hays, exor of Will of Edward Marvin, the same E. M.
being overseer wt John Baker, give an account," etc.* A
few months before his death Hays was chosen an " over-
seer " of the parish with his brother-in-law, Richard Marvin,
vii. John, and viii. Reinold, "the sons of Edw. Marvin, were bapt.
the y"' day " of June, 1593, at St. Mary's; the record shows
that both were buried the following day. From these en-
tries we infer that they were twins.
* These entries show that the assignment of this marriage to Elizabeth, the
sister of Marie, in " Enghsh Ancestry," was an error. The record of Marie's
birth has not been found ; Edward calls Hayse his " sonne-in-Lawe," in his will,
showing that " Marie Marvine," the wife of " Hayse," was Edward's daughter.

ix. Renold (as spelled on the Register), "1594- Oct. bapt. y^ 25*
day." The ancestor of the Reinold line in America.
X. Elizabeth, b. about 1597 ?. She is not recorded at St. Mary's
and may have been older ; we place her here only because
of the long interval between the two younger sons. The
Register has : " Robert Edwardes singleman was marryed
to Elizabeth Maruin, singlewoma, the xxij day of May,
1618." As this date is subsequent to her father's death,
who calls her Elizabeth, but names no husband, the entry is
believed to refer to this daughter.
xi. Matthew, "bapt. the 26'^ day" of March, 1600, in St. Mary's.
He was the ancestor of the Matthew line.*
Edward,3 son of Edvsrard^ and Margaret Marvin, born, vsre
judge, about 1581, and in Ramsey, as his father had inherited
the " corner " property in that parish ; died probably in January
or February, 1622/3 ; his will (from the original of which, pre-
served in Somerset
House, we give his S;,Sl^ypdL'%f!^/'^hi d^tJ^X'^'H.
signature), is dated
30 December (no year is given), and was proved at Colchester,
Essex, I March, 1622/3. He doubtless accompanied his father
to Great Bentley about 1593, and married there. The entry
on St. Mary's Register reads, under "August, 1604," "Edward
Marvin and Bettris Sadler married the 12* day." The Sadlers
were an armorial family ; their arms are given in the Essex
Visitations as " Azure, a lion rampant argent ; over all a saltire
gules." t
Edwards soon removed to Thorington — a parish adjoining
Great Bentley on the south-west — where he died, and was
buried in the church-yard of St. Mary Magdalene ; in his will
he call himself " of Thorington." His widow was made sole
executrix, and his brother Thomas supervisor. He owned " free
lands " and houses in Wrabness, Wix, Great Bentley and Thor-

• the date there can be little doubt that this is the Susan
mentioned in her father's will, though her parents are not
named on the record. Her father gave her the lands near
Wrabness and Wix — a part of the " corner.''

not recorded at Great Bentley. He inherited all his father's
lands and houses except the portion given to his sister.
Richard,' son of Edward^ and Margaret Marvin, born about
1585, was living when his brother Edward' died, in 1622/3;
the date of his death has not been found. He received a legacy
in money of £,i, from his father, lands in Great Bentley, some
of which he sold to his brother Edward,' and a tenement with
lands called "Moye House." He married, in St. Mary's, Great
Bentley, "the first dale of November An"- dni 16 10, Suzin
Louck."f He was an "overseer" of St. Mary's with John
Hayse in 16 16, and with John Turner in 1624. Richard and
Suzin [Susan] had four children, as appears from the will of his
brother Edward, made in 1623, which does not mention their
names, but says : " thos thre Cheldren which my brother Rech-
erd hauef now leveng" etc.: one child had died in 16 18, or
before the date of Edward's will. The births of two and the
death of one are given on St. Mary's Register. Possibly there
were others born after he sold his lands in Great Bentley, for no
further reference to him appears there ; he may have removed
to his lands at Moye House, Great Oakley.

the Bentleys on the north-west, which was under lease to one
Richard Barnes when his father died ; he may have moved there
soon after his marriage and the birth of the only child recorded

there before 1652, Mary, daughter of William Browne of that
place, and may be the same ; this we have not attempted to
establish.
THE REINOLD MARVIN LINE
FIRST GENERATION
LTHOUGH Matthew Marvin had been settled in
Hartford, Ct., for a year or more before his
brother Reinold* left the ancestral home for the
new world, we shall first trace the children of the
latter, — the elder line — in the following pages.
In giving the descendants of these two brothers, the genera-
tions are numbered from the emigrants and not from their ear-
lier ancestors in England.
Reinold,' son of Edward a,nd Margaret Marvin, was bap-
tized 25 Oct., 1594, in St. Mary's Church, Great Bentley,
Essex, England. He died in Lyme, Ct., in the summer of 1662 ;
his will is dated 23 May ; the Inventory was presented 28 Octo-
ber of that year. He married Marie (judging from the
date of baptism of her eldest child) in 161 7 or 16 18, but no
record has been found. St. Mary's Register is not complete.
She died in Lyme, probably in the summer of 1661, not long
before her husband, as is evident from his will.
Her death was attributed to " witchcraft." At a Quarter Court held at
Hartford, 5 Sept., 1661, Nicholas Jennings and his wife Margaret, of Say-
brook, were indicted for " having enterteined familiarity with Sathan . . .
and by his help done works aboue y= course of nature, to ye loss of ye Hues
of seueral gsons, and in gticuler ye wife of Reynold Marvin .... with
other sorceries." The jury did not agree ; a " majority found them guilty.
* We shall use this spelling ; Connecticut rec. have Reginold, Reignold, Rey-
nold, Reinold, Renald, etc.

and the rest found strong ground for suspicion."* About 1657 there had
been " Suspitions about Witchery" in Saybrook, and the General Court
sent Mr. Samuel Wyllys thither to investigate matters.f In March, 1662/3,
after Jennings' trial, the Court disallowed the account of the " Sea Brook
Constables " for witnesses, and refused to " pay for their time and travaile,
nor to any other upon such accounts for ye future."^
Reinold inherited from his father the "Lands, medowes,
woodes and pasters, called " Moysses," near " Mose " or " Moyse "
Hall,"§ but his home was in Great Bentley. The Register of
St. Mary's shows that in 1625 "John Turner and Reynald Mar-
vyn" were "Overseers." In 1627 the Church-wardens were
" Renould Marvine and Fras. Willson ; Mat : Marvine and Geo.
Noble, Overseers." In 1633 and 1634 "Reynold Mervin and
John Gore " were " Churchwardens." In 1637 " Reynold Mer-
vin and George Serls" were f Overseers." This is the last
entry of his name found on the Parish books. They also record
the burial of " Margaret Moxe, seruant to Renold Mauuin (sic),
maid, the xiij* day of August, 1618;" and of "William
Cooke, seruant to Renold Maruin, buryed " 14 March, 1624.
In a document in the Public Record Ofifice, London, || under
"Tendringe Hundred, Bentley Magna," it appears that "Rey-
nold Maruen" of that parish, was taxed in 1636 two shillings
and sixpence as his share of the " Essex Ship Money," for fit-
ting out a ship of 800 tons, appointed by his Majesty to be ready
at Portsmouth, i March, 1636/7. It can hardly be doubted
that this tax, which was generally resented throughout England,
led him to follow his younger brother across the ocean.
The record of his departure, and the name of the ship in
which he sailed, have not been found ; many emigrants from

Papers, Domestic, Charles I, 1637, 177-8, containing the name of every inhabi-
tant in every parish in Essex, who was assessed as residing there at that time.
The imposition of this Ship Money tax gave a fresh impetus to the New England
emigration, which, says Green in his History of the English People (III : i8o),
" was, as a result of this tyrannous act, largely composed of the more prosperous
class, men of blood and fortune."

northern Essex took shipping for New England from Ipswich*
at this period, as it was a nearer port than London, and very-
likely Reinold was among them. The last mention of his name
in Great Bentley was in 1637 ; he appears in Hartford, Ct., in
1638, where Matthew already had a home ; thus we know within
a few months the date of his arrival. Doubtless his wife and
surviving children came with him ; at least three had died in
England, and only ReinoW and Mary are named in his will.
His home-lot in Hartford was at the north end of the " West
Field," near those of Thomas Upson and Thomas Barnes. An
entry in the early Hartford records shows that at a town-meet-
ing held 28 Oct., 1640, a vote was passed by which it was
Ordered y' Renall maruen hath liberty to by Thomas Vpfonfe lot,
& to Pofses it vpon the termes y' other men doe y^ is when he fells
it, he is to doe according to y^ order provided in that behalfe.f
His name does not appear in a list of the landholders in Hart-
ford, dated February, 1639/40. About this time he removed to
Farmington, of which he was one of the earliest proprietors.
The exact date cannot be given, for the Farmington records
begin with 1646.
Pres. Porter's sketch of Farmington, in tlie " Memorial History of Hart-
ford County," does not mention him as an original settler, but records him
as an owner. Both the brothers owned lands there, and Reinold had "a
prominent home-lot of five acres on the west side of the Main street, having
that of Mr. Wyllys of Hartford on one side, and Mr. Hopkins on the other."
The first settlers came there about 1639-40, and as no later reference to his
name appears at Hartford, Reinold was probably among them ; he certainly
built a house there, and this, described as " new,'' with his home-lot and
other lands, he sold to John Warner, who went thither from Hartford, and
who had been a fellow passenger with Matthew on the " Increase." This
transfer is recorded at Farmington.
Reinold next removed to Saybrook, at the mouth of the
Connecticut river; this town was settled about 1640, and called
the "town-side," while Lyme, on the eastern side, then had but
few if any inhabitants. The Saybrook records before 1660 are

missing, and there are no Church records extant of the pastorate
of Mr. Fitch, the first minister ; but we find that " Randall "
Marvin, William Waller, and Thomas Adgate (who married
Matthew' Marvin's daughter Mary) were present* at a town-
meeting held 7 Jan'y, 1655/6.
He was made a freeman of Saybfook 20 May, 1658, "at a Genii Court
of Election." He was then in his 64th year. A paper dated 12 Dec, 1659,
and signed by " Renald Maruen," ^ .
William Waller, Francis Bushnell, p^yicJidL- yYiOLy UJLTL,
and others, was sent to the Gover-
nor and magistrates by the signers, saying that the greater part of the Say-
brook Church, with some of the town and the minister, were removing, but
they intended to stay.
He is frequendy named in Colonial Records of Connecticut, Vol. I, but it
is often difScult to decide whether father or son is intended. Once or twice
he is termed " goodman," which, says Drake, was at that time applied to
the same persons who are elsewhere on the same records called " Mr." — the
tide of respect given to clergymen, "Assistants," and others of high posi-
tion. The elder Reinold held no pubUc office, so far as we know, but is
called " Mr. Reynold Marvin."t
Lyme was made a distinct town -in May, 1667; it had then but about
thirty families. Its meadows and cornfields had been cultivated by armed
men from Saybrook,t among whom no doubt were Reinold and his son, and
Waller, his son-in-law. Here Reinold built a house, retaining his home-lot
and considerable land at Saybrook. At his death his largest holdings were
in Lyme, very considerable portions of which remain in the possession of
his descendants, — of the name or the blood, — at the present time.
It is not known where Reinold and his wife were buried ; per-
haps the old burying-ground on the hill where the first meeting-
house stood, was their resting-place ; but there are two stones,
now without legible inscription if they ever bore any, and evi-
dently of great age, still standing in the Duck River burying-
ground, in Lyme, near and on the east of the grave of Lieut.
Reinold Marvin, which may mark the place of their interment.
His will was exhibited in Court, 9 July, 1663, and ordered to be
recorded, and his son " Renold Marvin was admitted to admin-
ister upon his estate."

A small supplementary Inventory was filed later. James Cornish who
signed the Inventory, and witnessed the will of Matthew,' was at one time
a school-master in Norwalk. " The value of Reinold's estate " says Rev.
Sylvester Judd, "^820, was a large sum for that period of Colonial history."
His holdings in Lyme were exceeded by only one or two, if indeed by more
than one of his townsmen. " Four oxen " was then an unusual number to
be owned by one person ; a single ox is mentioned in some of the Rate
Lists of the time. By his father's bequest and his own estates, Lieut. Rei-
nold^ became one of the most prosperous men of Lyme.

Mr. C. W. Manwaring, of Hartford, and especially information furnished by Mr.

Mary Collins, enable us to correct the statement hitherto accepted on the author-
ity of Judd, Savage and others, that Mary married Ens. Waller.

2 Elizabeth,^ daughter of Reinold' and Marie Marvin, bap-
tized 29 April, 1627, in St. Mary's Church, Great Bentley,
England; died before Jan'y, 1682/3, in Lyme, Ct.; married,
probably about 1648, in Saybrook, Ct., William Waller, born in
England; died in Lyme before August, 1674.* He was in
Salem, Mass., in 1637, and next appears in Saybrook, where he
was living in 1649 or earlier.
He is frequently mentioned on the Colonial records. He was appointed
ensign of the " Seabrook Train-band" 3 Oct., l56i, and confirmed by the
General Court as lieutenant, 12 Oct., 1671. In October, 1663, he was one
of the commissioners to state the west bounds of New London, and to set-
tle with the Mohegan chief, Uncas, for any of his lands taken ; he was a
representative in 1665, in the first Court after the union with New Haven,
and afterwards; 11 Oct., 1666, he was appointed by the Courtf one of the
" Coinittee for enterteineing and approveing such as are receaved inhabitants
on ye East side ye River at Sea-Brook." 7 March, 1671/2, the town of
Lyme made an agreement, in which William Waller and Reinold Marvin
" For their part Doth by these ^sents Ingadge and agree to and with said
Town to sufficiently make and buyld a myll which shall be sufficient to
Grinde the townes Come before the last day of May wh' shall be in the

tending to make claym to the Estate of Gregory Winterton," etc. This, with the
legacies, seems to imply some relationship, but what, if any, has not been dis-

father of Sarah Marvin was known as George Clark, " Jr." He was in Milford
in 1639, having come from Much Mundon, in Hertfordshire, Eng. He died
in Aug., 1690; his will, printed in full in Family Histories and Genealogies, III:
2\Z et seq., recorded at Hartford, mentions his Marvin grandchildren. Hannah
Clark, a sister of Sarah, m. John Piatt, of Norwalk, whose dau. Hannah m. Lieut.
Sam'l Marvin, of the Matthew line. See Fam. Hist, etc., as cited, and N. E. Hist.
Gen. Reg., Oct., 1900. With the conclusions of the latter we do not agree, where
■they differ from Fam. Hist. etc.
Second Generation 39
Clark, baptized 18 Feb., 1643/4, in Milford, Ct. ; by her age as
given on her gravestone, she was born about 1642 ; she married
(2), 12 Feb., 1677/8, Capt. Joseph Sill, the famous Indian fighter,
by whom she had issue. She died in Lyme, i Feb., 171 5/16,
and her grave in the Duck River burying-ground is at the left
of those of her two husbands. Its stone has the following
inscription : —
Here lyeth | the body of MRS | SARAH SILL | who died Feby ye i | in
the year of our | Lord 1 7{| | aged 74 years.
Next on the right is that of
CAPT I JOSEPH SILL | died August | 6, aged 60 | 1696
And still further to the right (or east) is that of her first hus-
band, inscribed
1676 I LEVET I RENOLD | MARVIN | Aged 42
[He was really in his 45th year.] At right angles with the
last are the two other graves, marked with low stones, which
it has been suggested may be those of the first Reinold and
his wife.
Lieut. Reinold became a freeman of Saybrook 20 May, 1658, the same
day with his father. He owned much land in Lyme, beside his inheritance
there, and in Saybrook. In 1687 his estate in the latter place was " Twenty
acres of upland and fourteen acres of meadow," valued at £,ia ; he also
owned two "hundred-pound rights" in the "Cow Common of Say Brook,"
one-half of which was conveyed by his three sons, 27 May, 1700, to John
Whittlesey, Jr., of Saybrook. Savage says, on what authority we do not
know, that he was a deacon ; his son Reinold held that office, but we doubt
if the father did, for the Lyme Church was not regularly formed until 1693,
although the Rev. Moses Noyes was preaching there in 1666, ten years
before Lieut. Reinold died.
He represented Lyme in the General Court in the October session in
1670, and from 1672 to his death. He was on the committee appointed in
1666 to divide the town of Saybrook: the two divisions made a " loving
parting," 13 February, 1666/7, a^^d the names of Reinold Marvin and
William Waller were two of the six signed to the " parting covenant " for
Lyme. The first land records after the separation are attested by Matthew
Griswold and Reinold Marvin, "Town Surveyors;" in 1674 they were
directed " to give notes with their names to them, for the records of all
lands belonging unto this town, which shall be the Recorders security."
40 Reinold Marvin Line
Reinold was elected townsman February, 1672/3, and again in February,
1674/5; he was chosen, 9 Feb., 1673/4, "to review the town's accounts."
17 Dec, 1674, he was chosen "constable for ye ensuing year." (Lyme
Town Meeting Book, 1 : 22, 28.)
2 April, 1674. "Renald Marvin's ear Marke ffor all sorts of Creatures
ondly horses excepted ; which is a Crope and a slite in the Crope one both
ears. His Ear Mark for horses is a slite, upon the top off the near ear."
(Lyme rec.)
He was appointed " Sergeant to ye Band at Sea Brook," by the General
Court at Hartford, 3 Oct., 1661, when Waller was made ensign,* and suc-
ceeded him as lieutenant, which post he filled until his death. 10 May,
1677, the company being unable to agree on his successor, Mattliew Gris-
wold was appointed " to supply ye place of a Leivtenant till such choyse and
approbation be made thereof by the Court." In 1678, the trouble continu-
ing, " In order that the election of a lieutenant and ensign to be approved
by the General Court .... might be carried on in a solemn way .... Mr.
Noyes [Minister at Lyme] was desired to a sermon at the time,f which he
was pleased accordingly to attend." Reinold^ is usually referred to on the
later records as " Lieutenant," which distinguishes him from his father, who
had no military title, and from his son, known as " Lyme's Captain."J
The Lyme and Saybrook train-bands had some exciting experiences in
the years just before Lieut. Reinold died. War had been declared against
the Dutch in November, 1672, and a special assembly, convened at Hart-
ford in August, 1673, ordered that all train-bands "should be complete in
their arms."§ In July, 1676, Andros attempted to seize the fort at Say-
brook, erected at the mouth of the river by Capt. Lyon Gardiner in 1635;
on his approach it was hurriedly manned by the train-bands of the town,
under command of Capt. Bull; on the morning of 12 July, Major Andros
requested an interview, on the shore, with the minister and principal officers
of Saybrook. On landing, he was met by Capt. Bull and the officers of the
fort, but was not permitted to read his commission. || No doubt the train-
band of Lyme, under Lieut. Marvin, was present at that critical moment,
which was only diree weeks before his death.
Lieut. Reinold is often mentioned in the Connecticut Colonial records.^!
In October, 1660, Reinold and Waller had a difficulty with one William
*CoI. Rec. Ct., I: 375- t See Sibley's Harvard Graduates, II: 50.
X Though ranking as a lieutenant, it is evident that he was the commanding
officer of the " train-band " of the "East side ; " for a full company, with a captain,
required sixty-four soldiers: while Lyme in 1667 had, as has been stated above,
only about thirty famiUes, and a lieutenant is the highest officer we find there
until much later.
§ An' interesting account of the drill, armor, etc., of the train-bands will be
found in " Hartford in the Olden Time."

Third Generation 41
Parker, about certain " jades " [horses] which were claimed by " the country,"
and Matthew Griswold was concerned in it, adversely to Reinold. The lat-
ter was ordered to surrender them, but refused to obey, considering the de-
mand unlawful; and in 1662/3, tl^^ " Marshall was ordered to distrein the
sum of ^50 of his estate for neglecting the order." The Colonial claini was
later proved to be unjust,* for Waller, as Reinold's agent, was " allowed
one-quarter part of this ;^5o, for his part of the horses, and Matthew Gris-
wold was ordered not to trouble Reinold Marvin or William Waller for any
part of the horses for which the bill is made." The elder Reinold was then
dead.
Lieut. Reinold and his brother-in-law were among the champions of
Lyme in the famous contests with New Ixmdon, concerning the boundary
line between the two towns.f At the County Court in Hartford, 12 March,
167 1, John Prentice complained of " Reynald Marvin and others, for riot-
ous practices and assaults on New London people." The Lyme men in-
dicted their adversaries in similar terms, " for violence to drive them off
their lands." The disputed territory, a strip about two miles wide between
Bride Brook and Niantic River, contained about twenty-five acres of the
" ministry farm ; " it was finally included in the township of Lyme. Miss
CaulkinsJ has an amusing account of the conflict, which was " more comic
than fearful or sublime. The encounter terminated without any serious
injury on either side ; the leaders drank a draft of seeming friendship to-
gether, and all retired quietly from the field."

of Lyme, probably from Hingham, Mass., whom she survived.
She was interred in the Duck River burying-ground, near her
first husband.
John resided in Lyme, where his estate, in the list of those taxed under
Andres,* shows that as a young man he was in prosperous circumstances,
being then in the upper half of the tax-payers. Much of his property was
in land at " Grassy Hill," a considerable portion of which still remains in
the family. The inventory mentions " parsels of land at Milford ; " these
very possibly came to him from his mother's estate. The expression in
connection with this property "the walke their of" [in modern spelling,
" the walk there, off the North road "] may mean a right of way to the land.
His estate was appraised at ^691 : 8j: (id. In 1693 he was chosen con-
stable, and in 1700 and 1703, fence-viewer.

New England, but removed to Say brook, Ct., about 1664.
Richard, Jr., died about 1698, and his widow married (2), 6 June,
1699, Daniel (.?) Sterling. By some he is said to have survived
her, and married as his second wife, 16 May, 1745, Mrs. Mary,
widow of Capt. Joseph Beckwith, and daughter of Lieut. Thomas
and Mary (DeWolf) Lee, born 23 April, 1679; she died in
1759. Daniel Sterling died 30 June, 1749.!

i. Samuel,'' b. 2 i Oct., 1686; d. at Saybrook ; m. Jane, dau.
of Lieut. Richard and Elizabeth (Hyde) Lord, b. abt.
1688, in Lyme; d. in Saybrook, leaving two children,
b. there. (See Hyde, pp. 47, 48).
* She was a sister of the wife of Capt. Reinold^ Marvin and of Mary, who m.
Capt. Joseph Beckwith (see 5). Her mother was a dau. of Balthazar De Wolf,
one of whose children was " bewitched to death," as was charged, by the sor-
ceries of Nicholas Jennings and his wife, about the time of the death of the wife
of the first Reinold.
f The date of Richard's baptism was furnished the compiler of " Ely Ancestry "
by the late Col. Chester. The order and dates of his children are also from that
volume. The Sterling dates for the children follow Lyme records, as given by
Chapman in the N. E. Hist. Gen. Register. The " Ely Ancestry " does not give
the second m. of Richard's widow. By his probable age we do not think it pos-
sible that the Capt. Daniel Steriing who m. Mary Beckwith, was identical with
the Sterling who m. Mary Ely. " Fam. Hist, and Gen." does not give the Chris-
tian name of the Sterling who m. Mary Lee, who had eleven children by her
Beckwith husband (see Beckwith Notes), one of whom, Mary, m. Capt. Matthew,
son of Dea. Samuel (7) Marvin.

48 Reinold Marvin Line
6 Capt. Reinold,3 son of Lieut. Reinold' and Sarah (Clark)
Marvin, born in 1669, in Lyme, Ct. ; died there 18 Oct.,
1737 ; married (i), about 1696, Phebe, daughter of Lieut. Thomas
and Mary (DeWolf) Lee, born 14 Aug., 1677,* in Lyme ; died
there 27 Oct., 1707 ; married (2), 30 June, 1709, Martha, daugh-
ter of Sergt. Thomas and Miriam (Tracy) Waterman, born 6
Dec., 1680, in Norwich, Ct. ; died 18 Nov., 1753, in Lyme.
Reinold was chosen one of the first two deacons in the First
Congregational Church, Lyme, when it was formed, 27 March,
1693, but he is more frequently referred to, on the later town
records, by his military title. He was " Sargent " of the Lyme
train-band as early as 1702, and probably held that position
until 1712, when he was appointed ensign; 8 May, 171 8, the
Legislature " established and confirmed Mr. Reinold Marvin to
be Captain of the First Train-band or Company" in Lyme.f
He was chosen townsman in 1697, 1702, '03, '05, '06 ; first

" Renold and Sam' Marvin on Committee to agree with Sam' Rus-
well to settle in this town in the work of the ministry."
He represented Lyme in the General Court most of the time
from 1 71 1 to 1728 inclusive, a period of continued service that
shows the estimation in which he was held by his townsmen. In
the Colonial Records of the State, from 1706 onward, there are
frequent references to this Reinold Marvin.
There are many amusing traditions of the quaint sayings and
doings of " Reynald Marvin," and an old Note-book in the pos-
session of a descendant, still preserved, says he was " remarkable
for his excentricities, yet esteemed as a very useful and godly
man." As accounts of these have been printed elsewhere, and
most of them probably belong to his son Deacon Reinold, we
mention the only one that by family tradition relates to the
Captain. When he "published" his Intention of Marriage, he
wrote it in rhyme, and naOed it to the meeting-house door ; there
are different versions, but the one which was given us by the
late Judge McCurdy, of Lyme, runs thus : —
Reinold Marvin and Phebe Lee
Do intend to marry :
And though her dad opposed be,
We can no longer tarry.
Perhaps it was the Captain's " excentricity " which induced
him, eleven years after the death of his wife Phebe, whose chil-
dren were still living, to make over to her brothers William and
Stephen Lee, his right of inheritance in her father's real estate,
which was very large ; his own property was ample, and the act
was generous ; of its justice to her children we cannot judge ;
but it confirms the tradition that it was the remarkable beauty
of the maiden, and not her father's wealth, which attracted him.*
The tomb-stones of Capt. Reinold and his two wives are still
standing in excellent preservation in the Duck River burying
ground. Their rude lettering is still legible, though showing
the effects of age and nearly two centuries of New England
winters. [See engraving.] His foot -stone has R. M. | Oct. 18.

he was appointed to " make the town and county rates for the
ensuing year ; " in 1729, with Capt. Reinold, he was
To examine the collectors of [the clergyman] Mr. Noyes' rate and
fully empowered to prosecute them according to law if they refuse to
pay over the dues that ought to have been collected by them.
He was one of the "prizors" of the estate of Lieut. Richard
Lord, whose will he witnessed in 1726, and in all matters, civil
and ecclesiastical, was highly esteemed for his excellent judg-
ment. His will, drawn 19 Aug., 1741, proved 8 June, 1743,*

* We take the names and dates of Sarah's children from the Lay Pedigree, in

of Westbrook,' called {ibid., p. 337) 'a grand-dau. of Miss Peabody, the first child
b. at Plymouth after the landing of the pilgrims from the Mayflower ; ' it further
states on the authority of the late Prof. James Murdock, of Andover (ibid,, p. 336)
that Robert had a son Jonathan, b. 1721. It is clear that this Robert cannot have
been a child of Sarah Marvin, for she was b. in 1694. The frequent appearance
of the name " John Lay " on the Lyme records, and the fact that the first John
had two sons named John, who lived to manhood, make it impossible, with our
present knowledge, to distinguish them. As Sarah's husband was twice her age
at her marriage, the assignment in the Pedigree may be questioned.

having been admitted a member in June, 1731. Like his father,
a deacon of the same church, he held military as well as ecclesi-
astical office, having been confirmed as a lieutenant of the " south
company or train-band " of Lyme, in October, 1730,* and Hemp-
stead (Diary, p. 347), calls him by that title in 1739; 6 July,
1758 (p. 705), he speaks of him as " Capt. Marvin." He was
admitted freeman 14 Sept., 1731 ; was chosen sealer of weights
and measures in 1729; town treasurer, December, 1734, and
"to have £,20 for making the town and country rate;" grand-
juryman, 1736; surveyor of highways, 1738; lister, 1739, in
which year the town granted him liberty to buUd a wharf on
the east side of " Lieutenant's River ; " in 1750 he had "liberty
to build a pound on his land adjoining the highway," and was
appointed keeper. The records of the Town Council of West-
erly, R. I., have the following : —
Voted that Renold Marvin have an order to 7"= Town Treafury for
fifteen Shillings for a Book (viz. Mafons Hiftory of y^ pequit war)
Which was Borrowed of fd Marvin & put into y^ cafe of Stanton vs.
Thompfon for y^ Town Where it was Jmproved as Evidence in y<=
Cafe and is yet there.
To this Dea. Reinold belong most of the quaint sayings and
stories preserved in family traditions, so far as they ever had
any existence. He inherited his father's "excentricity," but it
became a more prominent trait in his character. He was noted
for his "revelations," many of which concealed acts of benevo-
lence which might otherwise have been refused by the recip-
ients of his kindness ; an instance of this is given in the " Family
Histories and Genealogies," in his shrewd discomfiture of one
who sought the gift of a cow, when the Deacon was bestowing
some of his cattle on a few of his needy neighbors.
The late Judge McCurdy related the following incident : —
That he had decided views, and adhered to his convictions, is shown by
the story of his famous sheepskin saddle, which figures in several tradi-
tions. The ministerial rate in those days was provided by a tax laid on
all the inhabitants of the town, collected in the same manner as other
rates. The Deacon objected to the claim made upon him, and his riding
saddle was seized and sold to pay his tax. He deemed this a grievous

wrong, and styled those who had sequestered it " Sabeans," after the rob-
bers of " righteous Job." That part of Lyme where they lived was thence-
forth called " Sabtown," a name it stiU retains. He bought no more saddles,
but ever after used a sheepskin, riding on it one day beside the clergyman
who had been benefited by the seizure, to a church council to which the
Deacon had been chosen a " messenger," — to his great mortification.
The Church records show that he sometimes laid himself
open to the strict discipline of the time, but he held his ofifice
"in good and regular standing" to the close of his life. With
all his oddities, which, the Noyes Note-book tells us, " greatly
injured the savor of his good name," he is said, by the same
authority, to have been "a sensible, honest and benevolent man."

born 24 Jan'y, 1701/2, in Lyme, Ct. ; died (.?) about 1770.
The Temple Genealogy (p. 171) in a note on the family of John
Welch, of Norwich, Ct., says that he had a daughter (name not
given, but from another source vsre are informed it was Phebe,
born about 1703), who married -: — Marvin, and lived in Lyme.
If this statement is correct, we are unable to place such a mar-
riage unless we assign it to this Daniel, the name of whose wife
is otherwise unknown to us ; if they were married in Norwich,
there would be no record in Lyme, the books of which give only
his birth. Daniel is supposed to have settled soon after his mar-
riage in Colchester, Ct. (then adjoining Lyme), where his father
and brother Reinold owned considerable land.J He may have

t The final division was made 25 May, 181 2, when the property was distributed
between the "heirs of Judith Peck, dec'd, late of Lyme, and sister of said Esther;
heirs of her brother Reynold Marvin, late of Litchfield, dec'd ; to heirs of Phebe

sister of the Daniel who m. Mary (x). The information we have is somewhat
conflicting, and it has been difficult to confirm or disprove the statements in the

because of the remarkable similarity of names.

settled in Lyme, where he practiced law, and for more than
twenty years before the Revolution was King's Attorney for
that district ; whUe arguing a case in court he became paralyzed,
but lived about twenty years afterwards, an invalid. His father
was known as "Sarvant Dorr," from a satiriccj remark applied
to him during the heat of the religious controversy which fol-
lowed the "Great Revival " of 1740,* and ended in the resigna-
tion of the Lyme minister. The incident is still a local tradi-
tion, but as a similar story is found in other places, it is very
likely a myth. George was a nephew of Gov. Griswold, and his
sister was the mother of Pres. Griffin of Williams, whose wife
was a descendant of Matthew' Marvin.

tion. Zechariah and his wife united with the Lyme church
in August, 1731 ; he was chosen deacon in January, 1 741, at the
same time with his cousin, Dea. Reinold. In October, 1772,
he presented a petition to the Legislature, claiming "that for
twenty years he had had a fishery in a brook leading to Black
Hall Pond," but his rights had been obstructed by weirs, etc.,
and asking for redress. In response, the Legislature passed a
law by which he was allowed to fish " in said brook on his own
land (!) from Monday morning untU sun-rising on Friday, every
week." Matthew Marvin might fish on his own land from
Thursday morning until sun-rising Friday, every week ; one
other person was given a similar privilege from Wednesday
morning to Thursday morning, and all others forbidden to fish
there.*

25 Thomas,'' son of Dea. Samuel^ and Susannah (Graham)
Marvin, born 4 March, 1703/4, in Lyme, Ct. ; died about
1763; married about 1733, Mehitable, daughter of Lieut. Joseph
and Mehitable (Goodwin) Goodrich, of Wethersfield, Ct., and a
descendant of Matthew' Marvin, born 6 March, 1716 ; died about
177s, in Wethersfield. How long Thomas remained in Lyme is
uncertain; he witnessed a deed there 5 Oct., 1724; he joined
with his brother Samuel in a conveyance to Edmund Dorr, in
1727 (Lyme rec, IV: 153, 281), and was admitted a freeman
24 April, 1733, and then disappears from Lyme ; a Thomas Mar-
vin is found on the records of Goshen, Ct., 27 Dec, 1738, as
one of the original proprietors, but has not been identified as
this son of Samuel ; when the town lands there were divided, he
drew lot 50, and was appointed town collector at a meeting held
in Litchfield. He was also on several other committees when
the town of Goshen was organized.! When his father's will was
* Ct. in the Rev., i6, 72.
t The Rev. Grant Powers, in his Centennial Sermon, 28 Sept., 1838, gives the
location of his house in Goshen ; and says further that he came there from Litch-
field, but did not long remain. He adds that many of the Goshen settlers re-
moved from that town in 1740 and a little later. If this Thomas was the son of
Dea. Samuel, he may have been among those who moved away about that time,
and have gone to Simsbury, for we find no further reference to him in Goshen,
nor in Litchfield. (See Goshen Proprietors' recs., I : pp. 325-331 ; the last date
he is named there is 4 Dec, 1739.)
Fourth Generation 7^
made, 19 Aug., 1741, Thomas had "already received his por-
tion." We judge that he moved away from Lyme about the
time of his marriage.
In 1756, and probably earlier, he was living in" Simsbury, Ct. ;
in May of that year the Legislature gave him "liberty for a
ferry " over the Farmington river, for ten years, after the bridge
there had been destroyed ; this bridge, which had been built
about 1750, crossed the river from that part of Simsbury known
as "Hopmeadow," the business centre. When this ferry was
established he was authorized to charge "for man, horse, and
load, one penny : single man or single horse, one half -penny :
sheep and swine per head, one farthing." Two years later he
concluded that a ferry across the Connecticut river, where he
could get better prices, was more desirable, and in October,
1758, he carried on that business between Suffield and Enfield,
on the route known for more than half a century as " Gillis's
ferry."* He found the boat and wharf there in bad condition,
and in a memorial to the Legislature agreed to repair them at
his own expense, if he could have a monopoly of all ferry privi-
leges north of what was known as "the falls." In May, 1759,
he was permitted to raise the fares.f
5 April, 1758, Joseph Trumble, of Suffield, sold to Thomas Marvin, of
Simsbury, a tract of land in Simsbury, " nigh the Great River, and bounded
East by the highway that runs along the Great River. South by land that
John Penguilly Jr., formerly of Suffield decs* bought of Jacob Adams of
Suffield decsd. West by land of Abraham Burbank. North on John Lea-
vitt ; together with the buildings etc., containing about fifty acres." Con-
sideration .£380. (Suffield Land recs., I: 357.) 14 Feb., 1760, then of
Suffield, Thomas sold the above tract, " bounded east by the highway that
runs northerly by the Great River by Trumble's Ferry so-called," to William
Mather of Suffield, for the same price he had paid for it. {Ibid., 1 : 456.)
This is the last reference to him discovered on the Suffield
records ; he may have returned to Simsbury (where some of
his children lived), and died there, but no record of his death,
which was probably soon after, has been found.
*The ferry was established in 1691 ; it was owned by Trumble and Penguilly
before and after 1749 (SuiBeld recs.), of one of whom Thomas seems to have
bought it.

Reinold Marvin Line
Children,* order uncertain :
i. SamueljS b. abt. 1733 ? He is said to have been lost at
sea;' with his vessel and crew, not long before the
Revolution, having been a master mariner in the West
India trade. (Talcott.) This may find some confir-
mation in the fact that several kinsmen of his mother,
who were residents of Wethersfield, were masters of
vessels in that trade, about that time.
50. ii. Daniel, b. abt. 1734.
iii. Susannah, b. abt. 1736? (See note.)
iv. Mehitable, b. 19 Nov., 1738; d. 25 Sept., 1810; m. Capt.
Benjamin, son of John and Abigail (St. John) Marvin,
* Because of conflicting accounts of the children of Thomas, we give the
reasons for the assignments (partly conjectural) in the text. It seems reasonably
certain that most of these children must have been born before Thomas appears
at Simsbury, for the birth of none of them is to be found on the record of that
town. We have a family record of the birth of two — Mehitable and Matthew, —
and only the latter is said to have been b. in Simsbury. In his printed account of
this family, Col. Thomas,* a son of Matthew' (with which Talcott, in his " Gen.
Notes," pp. 595^6, agrees), has confused, as we believe, sisters of his father with a
sister (Elizabeth) and niece (Susannah) of Mehitable's husband, who was Benjamin
Marvin. The account given by Col. Thomas was followed in " Fam. Hist, and
Gen.," but extensive correspondence since that was printed has yielded nothing to
corroborate his statements. Barlow, Fam. Gen., p. 226, says there were four sons
and four daus., but does not name them ; Col. Thomas and Talcott name eight.
We differ in the following points : — Joseph,' their second (whom we place as the
seventh) and " Ozias," their sixth child (whom we omit), are said, in their account,
to have been soldiers in the French war (in which Mehitable's husband was
engaged), and to have died in the service. The first of these statements may
possibly be true, but we follow another account, and we have found no other men-
tion of Ozias, who (if the sixth child, as they make him), would have been a boy
of twelve when that war began. They give an Elizabeth, who "m. William
Roberts, of Sharon, 15 Dec, 1777, and had two chil." We think she was the dau.
of John and Elizabeth (Dunham) Marvin, of the Matthew line, and so assign her;
they say that Susannah m. Capt. Hezekiah Frisbie, etc., but we believe that
Susannah was a grand-dau. of Lieut. John, of the Matthew line.
Again, as the Simsbury records contain certain Marvin marriages, which are
evidently of those too old to have been the children of John, son of Lieut. John
Marvin (who went to Simsbury some years after Thomas), and as we have been
unable to find any other of the name residing there to whom to assign them, we
have given Daniel as the second, and Rachel as the sixth child, both of whom are
known to have lived and m. in Simsbury, as most in accordance with the facts
thus far discovered. The accounts of Mehitable and Matthew are well estabUshed;
the descendants of the other children we are unable to trace beyond what is given
above. With this explanation we leave our conclusions to be corrected, if wrong,
by future investigators.

of Sharon ; he was of the Matthew line, where her chil.
are given.
V. Lois, b. abt. 1740 (?).
vi. Rachel, b. abt. 1744 (?) ; m. in Simsbury, Azariah, son of
Daniel and Elizabeth (Phelps) Hoskins, of Hartford
and Simsbury, b. 29 Aug., 1739, in Simsbury.
vii. Joseph, b. abt. 1747 (?). He may be the Joseph of
Wethersfield, Ct., who m. there 28 Jan'y, 1768,
(wife's name illegible on the records ; see Ct. Marriages,
Book 3, p. 13), and had two chil. whose names we
have not learned; he was living there in May, 1772
(see Col. Rec. Ct., XHI : 607), when he had a " dwell-
ing-house in the first District." A " widow Marvin "
is given on the Wethersfield Church rec. as a mem-
ber there in 1774, but whether Joseph's widow, or his
mother, we have no information.
51. viii. Matthew, b. 7 June, 1754, in Simsbury (Fam. rec.) ; it is
said that because of the death of his father he went,
abt. 1763, when nine years old, to live in Sharon, with
his sister Mehitable. (See Barlow, p. 226.)
26 Capt. Matthew," son of Dea. Samuel^ and Susannah
(Graham) Marvin, born 7 Nov., 1706, in Lyme, Ct. ;
died there 25 Dec, 1760; married 20 April, 1732, in Lyme,
Mary, daughter of Capt. Joseph and Mary (Lee) Beckwith, bom
3 April, 1 7 10, in Lyme; died there 25 Dec., 1760. Capt.
Matthew was an inn-holder, as well as a farmer, and he and his
wife died on the same day, of small-pox, taken, as a contem-
porary wrote, "from a transient person who came to their
house, which was then turned into a hospital ; the children and
neighbors were inoculated and recovered. The Captain and his
wife were interred in the same grave at Niantic."
He joined the church in Lyme in April, 1732, and his wife in
June, 1735. He was admitted freeman 24 April, 1733 ; chosen
tything-man 1734 and '35 ; surveyor of highways 1736, '38 and
'46; lister 1741, '42; fence-viewer 1748-50; selectman 1739,
'40, and '55 to '59 inclusive; grand-juryman 1751 ; he was con-
firmed lieutenant of the first company or train-band in October,
1 74 1, and captain. May, 1754; he was representative from
Lyme, October, 1757, and March, 1758.*

74 Reinold Marvin Line
Children, born in Lyme :
i. Seth,5 b. 12 July, 1733, "at break of day" (Lyme rec.) ;
d. 1777 or 1778. He was appointed by special act of
the Legislature,* i May, 1761, with William Noyes, to
administer his father's estate. He enlisted 17 Sept.,
1776, in Capt. Durkee's company in Wyoming, Pa.f
Dr. T. M. Cooley said " He was probably killed in a
skirmish with Indians on the Susquehannah, as he was
not heard of after." The Noyes Note-book (contem-
porary) giving date as above, says : " He was in the
Revolutionary service of his country, when he met his
last sickness, and out as recruiting officer, but the place
is not (as yet here) ascertained." On the Roll of his
company in " Connecticut in the Revolution," p. 263,
he is entered as " Disarted Aug. 18, 1777," and again,
on p. 266, as " Des. i April, 1778." These contradic-
tory statements of the Roll are shown to be false by the
" Harvey Book," p. 85, which says that
The muster roll [as cited] purports to be " arranged
from an original muster roll in the Archives of New Hamp-
shire, [which] does not exist there, nor in the Record and
Pension Bureau at Washington, nor in the office of the Ad-
jutant General of Connecticut. It was not made up until
some time after the affair ; several errors have been found,
and several reported as deserters had not deserted, but sub-
sequendy returned to duty."
The concurrent testimony of reliable records shows
that Seth died in the discharge of his duty.

t The first saw-mill on Mill Creek, upper Susquehannah, was erected in 1773,
by "Seth Marvin." In 1777 "Capt. Seth Marvin," of Wyoming, was one of the
" subscribers to send a post once a fortnight to Hartford, Ct., for papers, etc."
(See Hist, of Wyoming, p. 199.) The New York Military Rolls have a " Seth
Marvin, b. 1730 in Lyme ; enlisted in Capt. Tuthill's company of Suffolk, N. Y.,
23 May, 1759, aged 29; height, 5 feet 10; complexion light, etc." The birth-
place, or else the age and date, as given, may be doubted. These Seths have been
supposed to be identical with this son of Matthew,'' who was at Wyoming about
that time, but we believe they refer to one of the name in the Matthew^ line.

about 1784; married 8 Jan'y, i74S/6, in Lyme, Hester,5 daugh-
ter of Thomas and Hester (Marvin) Lord (see 17, i), born 12
Jan'y, 1728/9. He was admitted freeman in Lyme, 24 April,
1739; he was elected 13 Dec, 1753, tything-man in Saybrook,
Ct., and again in 1757 and '67 ; 7 Dec, 1756, grand juryman;
9 Dec, 1766, fence-viewer; 23 Dec, 1765, and annually until
26 Dec, 1775, his last appearance on Saybrook recs., "Kee
Keeper of y^ Pound." 23 June, 1755, the record says: "The
Mark that Nehemiah Marvin puts on his Creatures is a hole
in the off or Right ear and a half-penny on the upper side
of the near Ear." He bought several pieces of land in Saybrook
between 1754 and 1776, but the sale of only one is recorded;
in May, 1 760, he was one of the petitioners for a ferry across
the Connecticut. Only two children are recorded at Lyme, and
the Saybrook town records, and the Church records of the
neighboring towns of Exeter and Haddam, failed to show any
further entries.f Beside the first three named below there were
certainly other children, one of whom was perhaps William (v),
for whom we find no other place.
Children :
i. Phebe,5 b. 15 Oct., 1745, in Lyme,
ii. Anne, b. 29 Dec, 1748, in Lyme.
59. iii. Nehemiah, b. abt. 1751.
iv. Son, b. , in Saybrook.
60. V. ? William, b. 15 Nov., 1769, in ? Saybrook.
* This is as furnished us, from a family rec, but no mention of such a child is
found at Lyme, and it seems probable that ii and vi are the same, and that the
date of birth of the latter is confused with date of death of the former.
\ This seems to indicate that he changed his residence about 1776 ; which
may further be inferred from the fact that neither his will nor the settlement of
his estate has been found, after a search in the probate records of Saybrook
(Deep River) and those of Guilford, Hebron and Colchester. An entry in the
latter shows the appointment, in 1785, of Noah Pomeroy as guardian for William,
who we believe was son of Nehemiah, and if we are correct in this, it gives the
approximate date of his father's death.

the northwest part of Surry, and 4 July, 1768, was one of the
Gilsum petitioners for the formation of the town of Surry. He
was chosen, with others, i Sept., 1768, "to settle with Samuel
Gilbert about the lands he laid out, after the first laying-out ; "
and a little later was appointed " to ascest the Clerk in Record-

§The History of Wolcott (pp. 521, 2), says " Jedediah [Jeremiah on Church
rec. Lyme] Minor was b. in Lyme, m. Elizabeth Marvin of that place and settled
in Wolcott about 1756," and that " Joseph was about 12 years old when his father
came to Wolcott." The latter statement is evidently an error, as his mother
Elizabeth was then but 22, and was m. in Nov., 1749. We have not learned the
date of Joseph's birth, but it was probably about 1752, perhaps later; his first
child d. an infant 3 May, 1783 ; we judge he m. about 1782, when he would have
been 38 if we accept the History cited. Neither Family nor Lyme recs. show any
other Elizabeth who could have m. "Jedediah" Minor. See the History, loc. cit.,
for further notes on the Minors.

though no longer in the name, at the present time. Her chris-
tening-blanket, of a rich yellow satin brocade, which was brought
from London, is still preserved by a great-grand-daughter. Her
husband was appointed a captain in the 3d Ct. reg't, 3d com-

35 Reinold,s son of Dea. Reinold-* and Mrs. Sarah (Marvin-
Lay) Marvin, born 23 Oct., 1726, in Lyme, Ct. ; died 30
July, 1802, in Litchfield, Ct. ; married 23 Feb., 1763, Ruth,
daughter of Paul and Jerusha (Bronson) Welch, of Newr Milford,
Ct., born 19 Dec, 1739; died in Litchfield, 12 May, 1783.
Reinold graduated at Yale in 1748, where he was a classmate
of Bishop Seabury and President Daggett. In company with
Capt. Elisha Sheldon, of Lyme, who had married Elizabeth^ Ely,
a great-grand-daughter of Lieut. Reinold,^ he settled in Litch-
86 Remold Marvin Line
field, and was the first to practice law in that town. He was
King's Counselor or prosecuting officer for that part of the State,
resigning the office at the beginning of the Revolution. He was
long a leader among the eminent lawyers who gave brilliancy to
the Litchfield bar, and was a professor in the famous Litchfield
Law School, founded in 1784 by Judge Tapping Reeve.
He had a large landed property in Litchfield, and a fine library for the
time ; but by consenting to serve as surety on bonds, and other misfortunes,
as the Colonial Records state, he became involved : yet such was the re-
spect in which he was held that special Acts protecting his property from
creditors who were attempting to deprive him of it, were passed in his
favor,* and through all his reverses he retained the esteem of all.
Several references to purchases of land by him from 1764
onward, in Berkshire co., Mass., appear on the Land Records in
Pittsfield, Mass. The " History of Litchfield " has a eulogistic
notice of his wife :
She is worthy of honorable mention among those who have done most
to reflect honor upon Litchfield. She possessed a rare combination of
talents and accomplishments, blended with Christian virtues. Born to the
prospect of a fortune, highly educated and refined, she met the reverses of
after-life in a manner that commanded the admiration of all.
The Litchfield records contain the names of several negro ser-
vants, whom he owned before the abolition of slavery in Con-
necticut.!
They had but one child :

also survived, dying 16 Aug., 1821, at an advanced age.* In
May, 1 767, Dan was one of the committee for managing certain
funds devoted to the use of the Lyme schools, concerning which
there was some controversy. t He was "established ensign of
the first train-band" of Lyme, i Oct., 1767; lieutenant. May,
1771, and captain. May, 1772. J In May, 1773, he was ap-
pointed one of a special commission § on the condition of the
fisheries in Lyme. He was selectman 1773, '74, and '75. In
May, 1778, Ezra Selden, his brother-in-law, was appointed to
administer on his estate, || which was largely of landed property.
The inventory, taken in 1777, '87, and '89, amounted to ;£i663 :
16s. : 2d. ; the record of its division*[[ shows his widow, who had
then married her second husband, received her thirds, and the
remainder, including the share of the youngest son, James, who
died soon after his father, was distributed among the four sur-
viving children.

38 RoswELL,5 son of Daniel-t and (.? Phebe Welch) Marvin,
born about 1732, perhaps in Colchester, Ct. ; married
about 1756, Abigail Dorr, perhaps a daughter of George.f
* The account of Daniel' and the names and marriages of his children (except
vi), were furnished us some years ago by a grandson of Henry (v) ; his informa-
tion as to the latter has lately (1903) been confirmed by another grandson, but we
find the Family records are conflicting as to whether DanieH or Daniel' died in
1776, and we have been unable to determine certainly which is correct.
t Edmund, son of Edmund Dorr, married Mary, dau. of Matthew Griswold,
and settled in Lyme, Ct., about 1721. Hyde Gen. (p. 54) gives the names of
seven of his chil., six of whom were b. in Lyme ; the eldest, George, b. in Hart-
ford, m. Sarah'' (20) Marvin, dau. of Capt. Reinold, and a sister of Daniel* (15),
father of Roswell. It has been suggested that Abigail was a younger sister of
George, and b. between Elizabeth (1735) and Deborah (1739) ; the only ground
for this suggestion seems to be that of the four sons of Edward (who, says
Walworth in Hyde Gen., p. 53, "is supposed to be the progenitor of all the Dorrs
of New England"), Edmund is the only one who settled in Lyme, and those
who bear the name in that vicinity are his descendants. He had a bro. Edward,
who was three times m., and each wife was an Abigail. Edward, however, was
not the father of Roswell's wife. We have been unable to obtain any proof that
Edmund had a dau. Abigail ; yet if Walworth is correct, she must have been a
near relative, and we find no other of the name in that neighborhood to whom
we can assign her.
Fifth Generation 89
Extensive correspondence with descendants of Roswell has failed
to elicit satisfactory information concerning this family, beyond
the fact that he was the father of Thomas, and probably had
other children. They are said to have lived in Hebron, but we
find no mention of his name on the records there.

boro; married 3 July, 1758, Henry, son of Henry and Abigail

widow of Jonathan Gillett (see 14 : ii, 4), born 11 Oct., 1756,
in Colchester, Ct. Moses appears on the list of freemen in
Lyme, Sept., 1777; he and his wife joined the church there
in 1781 ; its records also show that a "Mrs. Moses Marvin"
joined the same church in March, 1794 ; it is possible, therefore,
that Zylpha died, and Moses married a second wife, but we have
found no such record. The family are said by one informant to
have removed to Genesee Co., N. Y., about 1802 ; no record of
the death of Moses or his wife has been found in Lyme.

Aaron Baker, and in the deed is called of Lyme. The Pittsfield
tax list of 16 Nov., 1772, shows that he was then residing there,
and his family consisted of " four persons." f During the Rev-
olution he served 13-21 Sept., 1776, in Capt. William Francis's

1808; interred at Chelsea Landing (Norwich). He graduated
at Yale 1773, where he was ^ r> /^ y /
classmate, and as his letters ~^f/jy^fyy ty^i^y^y^y-*'^^
show, an intimate friend of Capt.
Nathan Hale. He studied medicine with Dr. Rogerss, a de-
scendant of Matthew' Marvin of Norwalk.* He was commis-
sioned lieutenant and adjutant of Col. Durkee's reg't, 4th Ct.
Line, i Jan'y, 1777, and promoted to be brigade major of Var-
num's brigade in the winter of 1777-8 ;f letters still preserved
describe his privations in the memorable winter at Valley Forge ;
he was in the battle of Germantown and other engagements, and
gained the reputation of a brave, energetic and skillful ofHcer.
On one occasion, being suddenly called into action, he thrust his
orderly-book into his bosom, and on his return to quarters found
a bullet lodged in the book. His medical knowledge was utilized
while in the service, for "Maj. Marvin" was ordered to "repair
to the Yellow Springs, and the hospitals near Camp, and superin-

tend the sick there."* A contemporary wrote: — "Conceiving
himself superseded or neglected, he resigned, and with honor un-
tarnished returned to Norwich and resumed the practice of his
profession." In March, 1779, on the New London alarm, he
acted as volunteer aide to Gen. Wadsworth, for which service
the Legislature voted him £,6<^ : Sj.-f When peace was estab-
lished he took a prominent part in reorganizing the State mUitia,
was chosen captain of the company in Chelsea Landing (Nor-
wich), was successively elected major and colonel, and in 1793
was appointed brigadier general, which position he held until his
death. " Attractive in person and engaging in manner, he was
universally beloved and respected, and his memory was cherished
long after he had passed away." In July, 1782, he was one of
the " signers " against the illicit trade carried on by the Royalists.
When the yellow fever spread to the North in 1798, he went to
New York to study the disease, and gave much attention to the
methods employed by the best skill of the time. Soon after his
return to Norwich the fever appeared there ; he was devoted in
his attentions to those attacked by the disease, but soon fell a
victim himself,^: and as the late Dr. Woodward, Pres. of the
Connecticut Medical Soc'y, who remembered his services, said :
" He offered his own life in the devoted endeavor to ward off
the blow of the destroyer from others."
The death of Gen. Marvin — for he was better known by his military
than his professional title — produced a profound impression upon the
community. The Norwich Courier of the 20th Sept. following said: —
Died, last Friday morning, in the 45th year of his age, of the fever, Gen.
Elihu Marvin, whose enlightened understanding, whose philanthropic heart,
whose pure principles, whose regular deportment and domestic virtues dis-
tinguished his character. While society regrets his loss as a citizen, all his
acquaintances lament a friend. Though misfortune had shaded his life,
it had not stained his integrity. He had improved by its painful instruc-

} It may be interesting to note, as bearing on recent theories of the cause of
yellow fever, that Dr. Webster, in his History of Epidemic and Pestilential Dis-
eases (I: 338, cited by Barber, Ct. Hist. Coll., p. 289), speaking of its prevalence
in Connecticut in 1798, mentions " the unusual number of musketoes in the adja-
cent country [at that time], and multitudes of flies of uncommon size, exceeding

will dated 18 Sept., 1834, was proved 2 May, 1835 (Prob. rec,
Andover, Ct.). After his marriage he resided a few years in
Lyme; 20 Sept., 1768, then "of Lyme," he purchased land in
Hebron, of John Beach ; he was a teacher in Hebron for a time,
and then a farmer, residing with his father-in-law, Dea. Beach ;
18 March, 1771, then "of Hebron," he bought more land there;

Ehhu,* Jr., in 1 796, are recorded in Hebron.^ He was known
as "Squire Elihu," having been a justice of the peace 1787 to
1803, and in that capacity he performed the marriage service
for his daughters Anna, Abigail, and Elizabeth. He was a dea-
con in the Hebron church in 1793. He is perhaps the Elihu
Marvin appointed by the Legislature a surveyor of land for
Hartford co., in i776.§

relationship mentioned in the deed must be that of his wife Hannah ; the only

where attributed to her dau. Mehitable, to which a reference will be found on a
subsequent page ; the story is probably apocryphal, but if it has any foundation,
refers to the child, not the mother. A tall, solid arm-chair, which belonged to
Capt. Samuel,' is now (1903) in the possession of Mrs. Eunice N.' Horton, of
Wellesley, who is his gr.-gr.-grand-dau., and grand-dau. of Capt. Matthew.

18 Nov., 1764, Jerusha, daughter of Samuel and Mary (Parme-

of his death we have been unable to obtain, but family tradition
says he died in Lyme when the only child we are able to assign
him with reasonable certainty was three years old. There were
not improbably other children, who died early.

Reasons altred the sd Sarah's name to Unice, which was bom Sept. 24 A.

attempt to fasten the " marine turtle " or torpedo, invented by David Bushnell, to
the British ship Eagle, in New York harbor — the first use of a torpedo in marine
warfare ; later he essayed to blow up a British frigate. These attempts though
unsuccessful, greatly alarmed the enemy. See Appleton's Cyclopedia, III : 662.

ii8 Reinold Marvin Line
69 Ruth/ daughter of Reinolds and Ruth (Welch) Marvin,
born 20 Dec, 1763,* in Litchfield, Ct. ; died there 17
Oct., 1817 ; married 17 March, 1784, Ephraim, son of Abraham
and Eunice (Starkweather) Kirby, of Litchfield, born 23 Feb.,
1757, in "Judea Society," Woodbury, Ct. ; died 20 Oct., 1804,
in Fort Stoddard, Ala.
When the statue of gilded lead erected on Bowling Green, New York,
in honor of George III, was overthrown and broken up, in 1775, portions
were conveyed to Litchfield, and cast into bullets, which were used by the
Revolutionary soldiers, who thus " fired insulted Majesty at his troops." A
record in the family papers of Hon. Oliver Wolcott, of Connecticut, shows
that Mrs. Reinold Marvin made 6,058 cartridges ; her daughter Ruth (Mrs.
Kirby) 11,592, and members of the Wolcott family upward of 20,000 more.
Ephraim was a student at Yale when the Lexington Alarm
reached New Haven ; he marched to Boston, and took part in
the battle of Bunker Hill and in many other engagements, serv-
ing with distinction through the war, and returning at its close
with thirteen honorable scars ; he received seven sabre wounds
in one of the battles in New Jersey. He was two years in the
first troop of Col. Sheldon's Light Dragoons and was an ensign
in a Rhode Island regiment in 1782 ; in the battle of German-
town he was on the staff of Gen. Sterling. When the Order of
the Cincinnati was founded, of which he was an original member,
he held the rank of lieutenant. In 1787 Yale conferred upon
him the degree of Master of Arts. He was often a member of
the Legislature from 1791 to Oct., 1802 ; in 1800 he was lieut.-
colonel of the 17th Ct. reg't. He practiced law in Litchfield;
his " Reports of the Decisions of the Superior Court and the
Supreme Court of Errors, of Connecticut," were the first reports
issued in the United States ; he died on his way to Louisiana, of
which Territory he had been appointed Judge by Pres. Jefferson.
He was Master of St. Paul's Lodge, Litchfield, which still pre-
serves his sword, and first " High Priest " of the Gen'l Grand
R. A. Chapter of the U. S.f Like his father-in-law, and in ac-
* Kirby Book. The family rec. of the late Gen. Edmund Kirby Smith has her
birth 26 Dec, 1764.
t Further particulars of his life are given in Kilbourne's Biographic History
of Litchfield County, and in the Centennial of St. Paul's Lodge of Litchfield.
His portrait appears on the Centennial Medal of the Gen'l Gr. Chapter, and in
The Kirby Book.

* A " Thomas Marble " is given in the rolls of the town of Hebron as serving
as sergeant in the Revolution at the time of the Lexington Alarm; he was a
corporal in the loth company of Col. Hinman's reg't, in the siege of Boston,
12 May, — 19 Dec, 1775 ; ™ Capt. Judd's company, 3d Ct. Line, 21 April, 1777-

pany, Col. Durkee's reg't, ist Ct. Line, Jan'y, 1781, and onward. A letter from
one claiming descent from this soldier, says his name was Marvin, and that it is
incorrectly printed in the Ct. War record. We have been unable to verify this
statement ; one correspondent writes that Thomas was 71 when he died (in 1835)1
if this be true, he could not have been the Revolutionary soldier.

Baize Baker, born 24 April, 1768, in East Haddam, Ct. ; died
27 Feb., 1855 ; he was an early settler in West Bloomfield, and
by him she had issue, one of whom was named for her first
husband.* We are informed that he removed to Laurens,
Otsego CO., N. Y., in 1805 or earlier, and a few years later to
Covington, (then in) Genesee co., N. Y. ; was a deacon in the
"Christian" Church, and died there. By the Lyme church
record his widow seems to haye gone back to Lyme, joined the
church there June, 18 13, and her youngest child, Ruth, was
baptized there i Aug., 18 13. She perhaps married her second
husband there (as East Haddam then adjoined Lyme), and then
returned to Western New York, where several of her family
also settled.

in Canada, in New York, and in Lewisburg and Ply-

tian General Book Association," and in charge of the
Palladium, the organ of that body.
* James is said by Hyde Gen. to have died in Lyme, which also says his chil-
dren were born there, but does not mention Ezra and Seth. Judge William
Marvin, the town clerk of Lyme, writes : " I have made a careful examination of
the death records, and find no entry regarding James Marvin. I also made a
thorough search of the Land records from the time James would have been old
enough to hold and convey land, to the date of his death, and find no clue there
to his residence. . . . Had he lived here all his life he would probably have taken
part in some real estate transfer, as did almost every one of any importance in those
days. The absence of any record tends to show that he was living elsewhere at
the time of his death. The date on which that is said to have occurred was cer-
tainly not obtained from our town records."

church, June, 18 17. A funeral sermon preached in the Bethany
Presbyterian Church, which was published, says :
He was ordained deacon at Mount Morris, N. Y. ; connected afterward
with several churches, he worthily filled the office of ruling elder in each,
serving ten years in the Bethany Church. During a period of twenty-five
or thirty years he labored earnestly in the missionary work of the Presby-
terian Board of Publication, and in that of the American Bible and Tract
Societies. Hundreds of families remember his visits with pleasure and
gratitude ; he was welcomed ever)rwhere. Two of his children were elders
and one a clergyman in the Presbyterian Church. Gifted with superior
mental powers, he was greatly respected and beloved.

Sixth Generation 129
Dudley Marvin had not long been admitted to the bar, when he had no
superior and few if any equals as an advocate in the western counties. One
of the judges before whom he argued said : " I frequently listened with ad-
miration to his exceedingly able and eloquent summings up, in jury trials.''
[Turner's History of Phelps and Gorham Purchase, 1 82.]
During the War of 18 12 he was in active service as a Heuten-
ant in the nth reg't, Ontario co. ; he was quartermaster 1818,
adjutant 1819, major 1820 and colonel of the same regiment in
1821 ; later he was brigadier and major-general, and is still re-
membered by his military title. In 1822 he was elected to Con-
gress as a Whig, and was twice re-elected from Ontario co.
After his term expired he spent some time in Maryland and Vir-
ginia. In 1836 he removed to New York city, where he prac-
ticed, but in 1843 settled in Ripley, where he passed the re-
mainder of his life ; in 1 846 he was again elected to Congress
from that district.
While serving his first term he became a warm personal friend of Henry
Clay, then Speaker of the House, and the intimacy continued through life.
In a speech on the Mexican war, in Congress, in 1 847, discussing the Presi-
dent's message, his remarks on the question of slavery in the territories were
almost prophetic in their character.
He took an active part in the temperance movement, and in
the Presbyterian Church in Ripley. He was a gentleman of
fine personal presence, erect and tall, and of great popularity.

Derby; died 30 May, 1875, in Erie. In early life he was inter-
ested in woolen manufacture in Humphreysville, but removed
about 1820 to Ripley, Chautauqua co., N. Y., where he was a
13° Remold Marvin Line
farmer ; in 1 842 • or '43 he settled in Erie, engaged in business,
and resided there until his death. The Erie Gazette of Sept. i,
1878, said : —
He was a gentleman of rare foresight as a business man, managing with
success his large property, which he dispensed with lavish hand and great-
hearted liberality. Religious, educational and benevolent societies were
the objects of his large benefactions, the munificence of which was only
equalled by the unostentatious manner in which they were made
Unassuming yet dignified in manner, and possessed of a rare conversa-
tional talent, he was a most interesting and remarkable gentleman.

89 Theophilus Rogers,^ son of Gen. Elihus and Elizabeth^

died 9 May, 1882, in Brookline, Mass.; married 3 April, 1832,
Julia Ann Coleman, daughter of Haydon and Joanna (Brown)
Coggeshall,* of New Bedford, Mass., born there 3 April, 1 8 1 1 ;
died 30 Jan'y, 1882, in Brookline. At the age of fifteen he was
apprenticed to Russell Hubbard, of Norwich, a printer, and on
coming of age was associated with him as editor and publisher
of the Norwich Courier. He then went to Erie, Pa., as a sur-
veyor, and was also a short time in the U. S. service as purser's
clerk; in 1823 he came to Boston, established what is now the
oldest printing office in that city, and printed the Boston Tele-
graph : a few years later he founded the firm of Perkins & Mar-
vin in connection with his printing office, and published " Web-
ster's Speeches," the " Church Psalmody " (the first hymnal to
displace the old " Watts and Select "), some of Hawthorne's
early works, and other noted books. At the time of his death
he was probably the oldest master-printer in the country. He
* She was a descendant of John Coggeshall, of Essex, England, who came to
Boston in 1630; he was one of the first selectmen of that town; a representative
and deputy to the General Court of Massachusetts Bay ; banished to Rhode
Island in 1638, where in 1641 he was chosen one of the assistants, and, under the
Patent of 1647, became the first President of the Colony. For a sketch of his
life, see American Quarterly Register, XV : 28, et seq. A more extended notice
of Theophilus R. Marvin is given in Fam. Hist, and Gen., Ill; 190, et seq. His

was for forty years on the Boston School Committee, six years
in the City Council, a representative in the State Legislature, a
member of the Constitutional Convention of 1853, and a trustee
of various benevolent societies. In 1859 Williams conferred
upon him the degree of Master of Arts. The Rev. Dr. Thomas,
of Brookline, in a memorial tribute to members of the Harvard
Church, said :
There was a grand robustness in Mr. Marvin's character. He was a
massive old Puritan, a man of a type fast passing away ; the friend of Web-
ster, and Everett, and Lyman Beecher; a man held in high esteem in the
city ; several times asked to allow himself to be mentioned for high office,
but always declining ; not very fond of conspicuity, but full of love and
good works. In the olden days his home was noted for its hospitality.
All philanthropic societies had the best help he could give them. And
everything, I have been told (and I can well believe it from what I knew
of him), was done royally and generously ....
He was much interested in the family history, and about 1845
published a small genealogy of the family, one of the first of the
kind issued in the United States.

plished the journey on foot. Their home was five miles from the nearest
church and two miles from the school-house, which was reached by a blazed
path through the woods, with not a house on the way ; and the party of
six or seven children was guarded, while going and returning, by a faith-
ful and intelligent dog, which was their sole protector. In spite of their
privations the children obtained a good education, and several of them
became successful teachers in colleges, seminaries, or schools.

" llitty " Marvin is the heroine of a romantic story, which her husband
used to relate to his nephews and nieces, according to which, when a child
of six or seven years old, she concealed her " cousin," Gov. Matthew Gris-
wold, when pursued by Tories during the Revolution, — ■ hiding him under
a pile of linen which she was bleaching at the time, and while replying truth-
fully to their questions, was enabled through their misconstruction of her
answers, to send them away without discovering the man they sought.
This tale, which is given more fully in Fam. Hist, and Gen. (Ill : 173-4),
with some comments, is believed by relatives to have had a foundation,
though the exact incident has been forgotten. But Gov. Griswold was not
her cousin, and as her husband was famous for telling " good stories," the
tradition must be regarded as rather mythical. In the Stone Genealogy
(40), the story is attributed to " Hitty's '' mother, who was married when it
was said to have occurred !

He was town clerk and justice of the peace there for a quarter of a cen-
tury, and served several terms as a judge of probate. He was a man of
remarkable ability in various directions, especially in mathematics, and in
his youthful days became quite proficient in astrology ; the Stone Geneal-
ogy, 1 60 et seg., in a " Chapter of Modern Astrology," describes some pre-
dictions that he made, the accuracy of which proved so startling that young
Stone himself was amazed, and became convinced that some evil agency
had influenced him ; he therefore renounced the study, burned his books on
the science, and never more engaged in such questionable experiments.*

* Berkshire rec, LXIII : 309. Otis adjoins Sandisfield on ttie north, and
Colebrook on the south. This sale most probably was made by the father, as
Sylvanus, Jr., was not then of age. Accounts of this family, received from differ-
ent sources, are conflicting. The rec. of Geneseo, N. Y., in 1796, contain a de-
scription of the " earmark " of the cattle of " Sylvester Marvin." (See Turner,
Hist, of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase, 345-6.) We find no Sylvester, and as
' the father and brothers of Sylvanus were largely interested in the Purchase, and
some of them settled there, the entry may refer to this son, and indicate that he
also went there ; but we have been unable to confirm this, and it is to be noted
that a dau. of Sylvanus, b. that year, m. and lived in Colebrook. For much in-
formation concerning the chil. of this family we are indebted to Mrs. Nellie A.
(Stillman) Deane, of Pasadena, Cal., whose gr.-mother, Mary E. (216), settled in
Andover abt. 1820.

East Bloomfield, Ontario co., N. Y. ; married 31 Jan'y, 1793,
Comfort, daughter of Jesse and Miriam (Raleigh) Munson, of
Granville, Mass., born about 1773; died in West Bloomfield,
having survived her husband and married (2), Landon.
Jasper was one of the early owners of the Phelps and Gorham
tract in Western New York, and settled there with his brother
Matthew and perhaps Sylvanus, when a young man. In 1798,
he " carried the mail from Canandaigua to Niagara Falls and
sometimes dispensed with mail-bags, its contents being contained
in a pocket-book. "f He was adjutant of the Ontario co. reg't in
1795 ; a new regiment was formed out of that in 1796, in which
he was appointed to the same office. He was chosen one of the
town officers at the first meeting for the " District of Geneseo,"
held at Canawagus, 9 April, 1791 ; he was living there in 1796,
and Turner says he died there, though one informant says he died

to have res. in Buffalo and West Bloomfield, but probably temporarily only, and
in connection with his brother's business. He is called Major, but we do not find
in the N. Y. Council of Appointment records, that he attained that rank.

the party who surveyed the Phelps and Gorham Purchase, N. Y.,
in which his father had invested ; he settled in Bloomfield, On-
tario CO., N. Y.,* and is said to have occupied the first framed
dwelling-house erected west of Utica ; like his brother Jasper,
he sometimes carried the mail from Canandaigua to Niagara,
when the only path through the forest from the Genesee river
to Niagara Falls was the Indian trail. In 1793, he was com-
missioned quartermaster in Lieut.-Col. Taylor's reg't, Ontario
CO.; he was adjutant 1798, of Lieut.-Col. Hall's reg't, and was
brigade inspector with the rank of major, during the War of

he resigned ; during his term the limits of the brigade extended
from Cayuga to Niagara.

act of Congress, and his " Law of Wreck and Salvage," and his rulings and
decisions have long been recognized as of the highest authority. Many of
these will be found in " Federal cases." During the Civil war he was a con-
sistent supporter of the Union, openly opposing secession, and his Court
was almost indispensable to the nation as a Prize court. In July, 1865,
Pres. Johnson appointed him Provisional Governor of Florida ; while hold-
ing this oflice he was elected to the U. S. Senate by the State Legislature, but
in spite of his loyalty acknowledged by Sumner in a speech in the Senate,

voted; he then returned to New York, and in 1867 settled in Skaneateles.
For many years he was Senior Warden of St. James's Church in that town.*

232 Reinold Marvin Line
A photograph taken on his ninetieth birthday, shows him " as alert and
active-looking as many men a score of years younger. When his father
went to Andover, the trip west was made with an ox team ; a cow was
brought from New England, as it was thought it would be impossible to
get one in the Western wilderness. When they passed through Buffalo the
Indians had just burned that town, and the place was in ruins. At the age
of 86, he learned to ride a bicycle, and now makes long runs into the coun-
try ; he thinks nothing of a three or four mile tramp for exercise, and rarely
lets a day pass without taking a long walk."

O
THE MATTHEW MARVIN LINE
FIRST GENERATION
ATT HEW," youngest son of Edward and Margaret
Marvin, was baptized in St. Mary's Church, Great
Bentley, Essex, England, 26 March, 1600; Rev.
Robert Darnell was then its rector. His father's
will gave him the " mentchon house called Edons
alles (alias) Dreybrockes,* and ij Croftes of land called Hartles
and Brocken Heddes," on the condition that he paid his mother
yearly during her life "the fulle sume of Sexe Poundes," in de-
fault of which it was to pass to his brother Reinold with a like
condition. He was then about fifteen years old. He probably
resided there with his mother until her death in May, 1633.
He married (i), about 1622, Elizabeth , born about 1604,
judging from her age as given when she went to America ; she
died in Hartford, probably about 1640 ; and from the ages of
his younger children, certainly not later than 1647. Rebecca is
thought to have been Elizabeth's youngest child, as she is named
in her father's wUl, but not in that of his second wife, who men-
tions her own children then living. He married (2), about 1647,
Alice, widow of John Bouton, born about 1610; in her will, i
Dec, 1680, she calls herself "aged about seventy;" she made
oath to the inventory of her husband's estate 17 Dec, 1680, and
died soon after ; the inventory of her own estate is dated " the
last of January, 1680/1."
* This house, in which Edward died, is still standing. See p. 22, supra.
288 Matthew Marvin Line
Matthew sailed from London in the "Increase," Robert Lea,
master,* having proved, 15 April, 1635, that his party had
" taken the oathes of AUegeance and Supremacie : As also being con-
formable to the Government and discipline of the Church of England,
whereof they brought testimony ^ Cert, from ye Justices and ministersf
wher there abodes have latlie been."
He had beena"sydeman"at St. Mary's in 1621 ; "overseer"'
in 1627, and senior warden^ in 1628. He is last mentioned
there 22 Aug., 1633, when "William Littleburye, the servant of
Matthew Meruin, was buried."§
The record of his departure calls him "husbandman, aet. 35,"
and names his wife and children " Elizabeth Marvynn, vxor, 3 1 ;
Elizabeth Marvinn 3 1 [a clerical error for 1 3] ; Matthew Mar-
vynn, 8 ; Marie Marvynn, 6 ; Sara Marvynn, 3 ; Hanna Mar-
vynn, i." Some of his fellow-passengers appear as his fellow
townsmen in Hartford, Farmington and Norwalk. The "In-
crease " sailed about the middle of April, and reached New
England about the first of June.|| Where he spent the first
few months after his arrival, is not known. His name is on the
monument in honor of the first settlers of Hartford, the first of
whom arrived there about November, 1635, and Matthew was
one of "the twelve very earliest emigrants whose names are
* See Drake's " Early Founders of New England," Hotten, etc.
t The Rev. William Simpson was no doubt the " minister " who certified that
Matthew was " conformable." He had been appointed to St. Mary's by Arch-
bishop Laud, 5 May, 163 1.
} By the statute of 27 Henry VIII, cap. 25 (1536) Church wardens of parishes
are put "co-equally with Mayors, Governors, and head officers of every city,
borough and town corporate." See " The Parish, its Obligations, etc.," by Toul-
min Smith. Note, p. 56. " The duty of Sidesmen was formerly the making of
presentments .... Their office was to give information in the synods or General
Visitations, upon oath, concerning the manners of the people [and the parson] —
testes synodales — evidently the original of the office of sidesmen or assistants,
sometimes called Questmen." Ibid., p. 58.
§ St. Mary's Register has the following : " Memorandum y* nine shilHngs six-
pence ob : [oblation ?] was gathered on Easter day for ye Plantation in Virginia.
Item for ye same plantation January ye 22tli 16T9, e^s .. 6d."
II Winthrop's Journal says one vessel arrived 4 June, 1635, after a voyage of
five and a-half weeks ; " three days after there came in seven other ships, and one
to Salem, and four more to the mouth of the Bay." He does not give their
names. Probably the " Increase " was one. Some have said she landed at Salem,
for which we find no authority,
First Generation 289
known,"* and who formed the company known as Adventurers,
to whom belonged "Venturers' Field." He resided on the
corner of Village (now Pleasant) and Front streets, the lot front-
ing east.
In 1640 he lived in the north-east part of the village [of Hartford]. His
lot was bounded north on the road from Centinel Hill to North Meadow
road ; west, on Wm. Kelsey's lot ; south, on Stephen Hart's ; east, by road
from Windsor to Wethersfield, by North Meadow.f
In an allotment to the proprietors of undivided lands in Hartford in
which Matthew had rights, he received at one time 30 acres, and at another
28 ; the division was made according to the " proportions payed for the
purchass of sayd lands.''
He was ' Suruayer' (surveyor) of Highways 1639 ^"^^ 1647. 9 Nov., 1640,
Matthew and another were fined five shillings, "for puting ouer of their
hoges ouer the great riuer" [the Connecticut]. March, 1641, in an agree-
ment about fencing land to the corner of John Clark's lot, in the " Souldiers
Field,"|: (which he signs " Mathew Maruen,") he is to maintain a " Common
gate " to the North Meadow ; and " if any children shal be taken swinging
by the said mathew meruiU, he shall complayn to their parents or masters
& if they doe not restraine them the second time it shaU be lawful for him
to [illegible] them, & if they brake the gate ther parents or masters shall
make it good," etc.§
In 1648-9 he was voted ten shillings " for killing a wolfe." At a " Par-
ticular Court, 24 April, 1649, he was the plaintiff in a case against Matthew
Beckwith for defamation of character, and recovered damages to the amount
of ^50. This was remitted by the Court on Beckwith's making a public
retraction of the slander.
He apparently contemplated settling in Farmington, Ct.,
whither Reinold had gone, for both owned lands and dwelling
houses there. Before 1653 (date of entry), Matthew sold to
Nathaniel Kellogg his dwelling house and land there. || In 1650,
he went to Norwalk, Ct., where he was one of the original set-
tlers. In the Agreement of the Norwalk Planters with Roger
Ludlow, 19 June, 1650, and in the deed from Runckinheage and

t Hinman's manuscript notes in the N. E. Hist. Gen. See. Library, Boston.
X John Clark was, we believe, the father of the husband of Matthew's daugh-
ter, Rebecca. " Souldiers Field " was " west of North Meadow creek, its eastern
side nearly coinciding with the line of the railroad. It extended to the Meadow
hill .... on the west, and to Village street on the south, and embraced an area of
of from 60 to 80 acres." See Hartford in the Olden Time, 1 16.

290 Matthew Afai-vin Line
Other Indians, of 15 Feb., 165 1, Matthew's name is third; in
the confirmatory Patent of the General Court of 8 July, 1686
(after his death), " Mr. Matthew Marvin " is sixth.
His home-lot in Norwalk, of four acres, was " bounded east by
Town's Highway, west by Daniel Kellogg's home-lot, north by
Thomas Fitch's home-lot, south by Meeting-house yard and
Matthew Marvin, Jr.'s home-lot."
Selleck says " this house-lot marked the ' Hollow ' in which the new set-
tlers passed their first days and nights." The " Meeting-house yard and
Ancient Parade" (now or recently owned by H. M. Prowitt), forms the
corner of East Avenue* and the " ancient county road from Stamford to
Fairfield."
Hannah (Marvin) Seymour lived opposite, and a little to the
south ; Matthew, Jr.'s lot of three acres, two roods, was between
that of Kellogg on the west and the " Meeting-house greene " on
the east, running back to his father's estate, and fronting south
on the road to Stamford, f
John Bouton, Matthew's step-son, and later his son-in-law, lived
on the south side of the road after it turned westward, and his
house was opposite his sister Bridget's, who lived next west of
Matthew, Jr. Thus, like the patriarchs of old, clustered about
his home were those of his sons and daughters.
The late Rev. Dr. Bouton, of Concord, N. H., a descendant of Matthew
Marvin and of his son-in-law John Bouton, Jr., in an " Historical Sermon on
the two hundredth anniversarjy of the setdement of the town," said " Re-
spect was paid to age, character, rank and property, in assigning the Nor-
walk home-lots, and that of Matthew was evidently one of the most desir-
able. . . . His name is inscribed on almost every page of Norwalk's early
history. . . . Devout, discreet, calm, sound in judgment, he gained and held
the confidence of his fellow-citizens, and discharged for them many offices
of civil life." The frequent use of the tide " Mr.," as applied to him on
the records, and the value of his estate, confirm this estimate of the man.
The wealthiest proprietor was Thomas Fitch, whose estate of " lands and
accommodations" was £'ii\. That of Matthew was ;£279, and his son's
estate was exacdy half his father's, ^139 : 10, in 1652.
Toward the close of his life he made provision for his daugh-
ters, all of whom had married ; some had already been remem-

bered ; to the others he made liberal gifts. Grants on the
records, and the List of 9 Feb., 167 1/2, in which his estate is
reckoned at £,i6g, show that he had given most of it to his
children.*
He was sent as a Deputy in 1654, and was among the first
to represent the town ;f 19 May of that year he was " freed from
Watching and training." The old records of the Church are
irretrievably lost, and what position he held therein is unknown.
When the meeting-house was enlarged in 1664 to nearly double its origi-
nal size, the town " appoynted Thomas Fitch sen. and Matthew Marvin sen.,
to call out as many many men as they think fitt. ... To fell and cutt the
timber and allso to summon each to draw the saied timber." When the
enlargement was completed, Matthew and his associates were instructed " to
provide a luncheon and a barrel of good beans for the help."
In 1678 began a quarrel about moving the location of the
meeting-house ; in 1680 a new and larger structure was erected
on the opposite side of the street, some distance northward,
but Matthew did not live to see it occupied.
The ancient Norwalk records have many references to his
name, as one of the leaders in the foundation of the town ;
that it is still honored by its citizens was pleasantly shown in
June, 1902, when the School Committee of the East Norwalk
district, by a unanimous vote, decided to call the new school in
that part of the town the "Marvin School."
The time of his death has not been found ; his will is dated
20 Dec, 1678, and the inventory 12 July, 1680.
WILL 'OF MATTHEW MARVINJ
To all Christian people to home these presents shall come greeting —
I, Mathew Marvin Senr., of Norwalk, in the County of ffairfield, in the
CoUeny of Connecticot being aged fourscore years or ther aboute though
* He still owned property in the adjoining villages ; the Land rec. (Lib. 1 : 29),
show that II July, 1672, he sold to Peter Clayton or Clapton (also spelled Clap-
ham), of Fairfield, a farm at ' Saukatuck,' of about forty acres, with buildings, etc.
The deed was signed with his mark, due to his advanced age.
t Col. Rec. Ct., 1 : 256. Selleck says he served again in 1659 as an " Assistant,"
in the^higher branch, but we do not find his name as such in the printed record.
He^also says that he was a wheelwright.

292 Matthew Marvin Line
weake and feeble in body, yet through the mercy of God of perfect mind

and appoint this present wrighting to be my last Will and Testament.
First I doe bequeath and resigne up my soul unto God who gave it and

* Matthew, Jr., and Samuel Smith settled the matter of the barnyard way by
a " covenant," exchanging land, which was held for the benefit of the son of
Matthew, Jr. (Fairfield Prob. rec.)
\ Fruitful Spring " behind Pine Hill " was close to the salt water. " It took its
name," says Selleck, p. 63, " from the fact that its surface in past time would often
be covered by the fruit of a beech grove, a portion of which overhung it. This
interesting spot still remains to be visited to-day."

§ This Richard Bushnell was the son of his daughter Mary; Francis, men-
tioned in the next clause, had recently married his granddaughter, Hannah Sey-
mour.
294 Matthew Marvin Line
Dea. John Piatt, one of the executors, was a brother-in-law of Lieut.
Reinold^ Marvin, having married Hannah Clarke, sister of the latter's wife,
and daughter of George Clarke, of Milford ; the families were closely con-
nected by other marriages. John Bouton, the other, was Matthew's son-in-
law. Of the Overseers, the Rev. Mr. Handford was the Norwalk minister,
and Lieut. Olmstead commanded the train-band.
When the will was offered for probate, Matthew, Jr., objected
to some of its provisions, but these objections were withdrawn
in consequence of an agreement recorded 6 Nov., 1680 :*
" We John Bowton [and Thomas Semer] in our owne and in our wives
rights : and in the right of our brother and sister Clarke, doe Covenant and
engage unto our sd brother Matthew Marvin .... that [he] shall have the
eighth part of the said effects." Signed Thomas Semer, John Bowton. The
eight parts were doubtless those of the eight living children of Matthew.
It was also agreed that Matthew' had disposed of certain lots to his son,
Matthew, Jr. Matthew then withdrew his objections and " desires the Will
to be probated." The widow made oath to the inventory 17 Dec, 1680,
and the will was finally presented and approved 25 Jan'y, 1680/1.

* In an advertisement printed in Rye, 1759, " Pennistons " are named among
other " dry goods," such as Broadcloths, Serges, Ratteens, etc.
t Until quite recently Alice was believed to have been the widow of Kel-
logg, and following Judd and others who supposed her to be the mother (not the
mother-in-law) of Daniel Kellogg, husband of Bridget, she was so called by the
compiler of the Marvin Monograph in Fam. Hist, and Gens. Various documents
have since been found showing she was the widow of a John Bouton (previously
unknown to genealogists) by whom she had issue, three of them, John, Bridget
and Richard, living when she married Matthew. The twenty pounds, called in
Matthew's will " her true and proper estate," and the other personal property
which she bequeaths, came from her first husband. Of those she names, " grand-
child Sarah Brinsmead " was a. married daughter of Bridget (Bouton) Kellogg ;
Ruth Bouton, was the posthumous child of Richard and Ruth (TumeyJ Bouton ;
Rachel Bouton, the daughter of John and Abigail (Marvin) Bouton, and Rachel
Smith her own daughter by Matthew. For further information concerning these
children see the note following Matthew Marvin's inventory above, from Fairfield
Prob. rec. III : 59 ; see also p. 60 of that volume, and for various agreements
proving the relationship given, see Fairfield Land Rec, 414; Fairfield Prob. rec,

SECOND GENERATION
2 Elizabeth,^ daughter of Matthew' and Elizabeth Marvin,
baptized in St. Mary's Church, Great Bentley, England,
15 Sept., 1622; died in 1708 ;f s.p.\ married^ before 1650,
Dr. John Olmstead (father's name unknown), probably a nephew
of James, who came from London in the "Lion," in 1632, and
in his will, mentions John as "kinsman." He died 2 Aug., 1686.
In his will, probated 22 Sept., 1686, he calls himself "aged 60,"
which, says Savage, " was no doubt by several years too small a
reckoning." He left a good estate ; to the slaves he possessed
he gave their freedom on the death of his wife.
He was a proprietor of Hartford "by courtesie of the town," in 1639 ;§
his home-lot was on the west side " of the road from George Steel's to the
Great Swamp ; " he removed to Saybrook, where he was a " leather sealer "
in 1656; he was at Mohegan (afterwards Norwich) in 1659, with a home-
lot near that of Adgate, his brother-in-law ; in 1661 he is called a shoemaker
there. Miss Caulkins says :|| " He was undoubtedly the first physician of
the settlement [Norwich], though the articles enumerated in his inventory
would imply that he still continued his practice with the last and lap-stone.
For several years he was on the Grand Jury of the county." He was a
freeman of Norwich in 1662, and surgeon of part of the forces in King
Philip's war.
Elizabeth's will was made 15 Oct., 1689. Among her bequests were
;^5o to the poor of Norwich; ^10 to Mr. Fitch, minister of the church at
Norwich ; legacies to Serg't Richard^ Bushnell, her nephew, and to " Bro.
Adgate's four children," and a large tract of land in Windham to her hus-
* The only knowledge we have of this child is the mention of her name in
Porter's Historical Notices of Connecticut, and in Hinman. We have been
unable to find any other reference to her, or the source of their knowledge. She
probably d. y. Bridget (Bouton) Kellogg also had a dau. Lydia.
t This date is given by Savage in Errata to p. 312 of III, printed in IV : 623.
% In Fam. Hist, and Gens, (following Memorial History of Hartford, 1 : 251),
she is erroneously said to have m. (i), Thomas Gregory, of Norwalk, Ct.
§ He must have been b. in 1&J7, or earlier, to have had this privilege.

band's two nephews of Norwalk ; most of her real estate she gave to her
"friend and kinsman, Samuel Lothrop," who was appointed executor.* The
will was contested by her husband's relatives, but the Court sustained it.
She is not mentioned in her father's will, though living at the time of his
death.
3 Matthew,^ son of Matthew and Elizabeth Marvin, bap-
tized 8 Nov., 1626, in St. Mary's Church, Great Bentley,
England; died in 17 12, in Norwalk, Ct. He came with his
father in the "Increase." He married, probably about 1650,
Mary ; she was living 28 March, 1707, at which time he
made deeds of gift of all his estate to his sons Samuel and John,
providing for her support; she probably died about 1709. He
left no will, and the deeds mention only his daughter Hannah
and a child of Elizabeth : they cover several pages in Norwalk
Land Rec. (IV: 155 et seq.) He was in Norwalk certainly as
early as 165 1—2, and perhaps was one of the "thirty approved
families " mentioned in the Agreement, 19 June, 1650, with
Roger Ludlow, then of Fairfield, Ct., though not named in that
document.
In the Deed made with Runckinheage and other " Norwake "
Indians, 15 Feb., 1651/2, his name is the eleventh. f The con-
sideration was " thirty fathum of Wampum," and various other
articles, including kettles, coats, pipes, needles, etc.
His home-lot fronted on the road to Stamford, having the
meeting-house lot on the east, his father's lot as its rear north-
ern boundary, and Daniel KeUogg's lot on the west. His estate
of "lands and accommodations," in 1665, was jQi'iS .. 10. He
is frequently called " Mr.'' on the Town Records, and was often
intrusted with important matters of public business, in church
and civil affairs. He was town clerk in 1660, '61 and '62 ;
townsman or selectman in 1660 and 1679, and perhaps in other
years ; some of the records are missing, but apparently, by his
signature as witness to a deed, on 15 April, 1694, J he served
* He was a son of Samuel of Norwich, and Hannah, daughter of Thomas
Adgate by his first wife, Elizabeth .

in that year also. He was " accepted to be made free "13 Oct.,
1664; the freeman's oath was ordered to be taken in the follow-
ing May.
2 June, 1666, "Thomas Seymour, Matthew Marvin, Jr., Daniel Kellogg
and John Bouton were granted all that creek lying between Thos. Seymour's
barn and barren marsh, for which said persons were to procure a highway
to Bouton's Island."
At the town meeting 22 Jan'y, 1669/70, " Mr. Thomas Fitch and Matthew
Marvin junior, are desired and apointed, and it is left to their discretion, to
treat with the Indians touching the lands between the West branch of Nor-
walk river and Saketuk river." He was again appointed on a similar com-
mittee, in June, 1670.
9 March, 1685, " Mathew Marven is freed from trayning not from watch-
ing and warding," at a Court held in Fairfield. (Fairfield rec, 1 : 194.)
4 December, 1688, the town voted that "a fence shall be made and sett
up for ye taking in of a winter wheat field .... the first lott should begin
att ye gate ; which first lott was drawn by Matthew Marvin Senr.* There
were thirty-one lots, and " Matthew, Jr.," drew No. 23.
20 Feb., 1694/5, he was the chairman of a committee with full powers to
repair the old bridge across the Norwalk river, or to build a new one as
they might deem expedient.
At the town meeting 21 Feb., 1670/1, " Matthu Junior, was chosen to
swepe the meating-house, and to have 20 j. for his pains." From duties
connected with the church assigned to him at a later period, it is thought
that he was one of the deacons, but the church records have been destroyed.
16 Jan'y, 1694/5, he was on a " Towne committee," of which his brothers-
in-law, Sergt. John Bouton and Samuel Smith, were also members, "to
Exercise their best prudence to look out for, and to endeavor what in them
lyeth, in the use of all lawful meanes, for to obtaine a faithfuU Minister and

Commonage, 3 Jan'y, 1687, as ;^264 .. 05. On this List, which contains
seventy-eight names, there are but five who are rated above him — among
them, Mark St. John, whose daughter Rhoda married Matthew's son.
In the drawing of lots in 1 709, in East Saugatuck, " Matdiew Jr. and

ii. Mary, b. abt. 1658 ; m. Daniel, son of Dea. Thomas and
Mary (Bridgman) Benedict, of Southold, L. I.
He was living in 1723, as a deed (Norwalk Rec, V : 267)
dated 15 Feb., 1722/3,1 speaks of " Lieut. Daniel Benedict
of Danbury, on ye accompanyment of his brother Matthew
Marvin deceased." He was a soldier in King Philip's war,
and took part in the "Direful Swamp-fight," 19 Dec, 1675,
for which he was granted 16 Feb., 1677, by vote of the
town, three parcels of land. He sold his Norwalk lands 25
March, 1690, and removed to Danbury, where he resided
until his death. Matthew^ bought his house and home-lot,
about five acres, and gave it to his son Samuel.^

(12 ?) April, 1712, in Norwalk; will dated i April, 1712.
* The first and third of the name were then dead, and the second was upwards
of 80 ; this drawing probably refers to some of the undivided lands in that part of
the town in which the first Matthew had an interest.
t See Benedicts in America, 365.
t An engraving of his gravestone is given in Reports of Fairfield Historical
Society (see p. xv, No. 96), on which his name is spelled Hanes, and on his wife's
gravestone (No. 91) her name is given as Mary, by the same authority, which is
an error either of the stone-cutter or the copyist. Various deeds show Mary m.
Daniel Benedict. By his first wife he had two daus.
302 Matthew Marvin Line
He was selectman in 1698. 15 May, 1705, the town
awarded him 93 acres on " Haynes Ridge ; " he also owned
land in the lower part of the town, which he bequeathed to
his daughter Mary, if she should hve to be 18 ; at the death
of her fatlier she chose her uncle, Samuel Marvin, as her
guardian, who qualified 4 June, 1 7 1 2, giving a bond ai £'^00;
he had been made executor by the will of William, who calls
him his " brother."

in Hartford, Ct„ 11 Oct., 1648, Richard Bushnell, of Saybrook,
Ct.,J born about 1620, in England ; died in 1658, in Saybrook.§
* His gravestone in the Norwalk cemetery is No. 207^, in " Reports " cited.
t The dates of birth, with two exceptions, are conjectural; those of Mary and
Sarah are inferred from the dates of birth of their eldest children. Possibly there
were others whose names have not been found, some of whom died young, for it
appears from the "List of the Children in Town," taken about 1672, that Matthew
then had six children living. " Thomas Marvin," named by Selleck, is shown by
various records in Norwalk and Fairfield to have been a Thomas Merwin. Samuel
is said by Selleck, in his "Centenary of St. Paul's Church" (1886, p. 40, note), to
have been the youngest son, but this we have no doubt is an error.
% Steiner, N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg., LIII : 209, says he was the son of Francis
and Rebecca Bushnell, of Guilford, Ct. ; Chesebrough, Address at the 250th Anni-
versary of the First Church in Saybrook, 74 and 75, that he was the son of John.
The accounts of this family are conflicting; see the Register, LIII: 212-214.
§ The movement to Norwich (where he is said to have lived near the close of
his life) led by the minister of Saybrook, with many of the people of that town,
occurred after his death.
Second Generation 303
A " 200 pound lot " in Norwalk was granted Bushnell, but the date is not
given by Hall, who says that " Robert Stewart, 22 Jan'y, 1674, bought it;"
it was a short distance east of die estate of Matthew^ Marvin, and fronted
on the road to Fairfield.
Miss Caulkins* says that Richard's name appears among the owners of
house-lots in Norwalk in 1656, but does not give the date of the grant. If
Richard ever lived there, it was for a short period only.
Marie married (2), in 1659, as his second wife, Dea. Thomas
Adgate, of Saybrook, born in England about 1620; died 21
July, 1 707 ; his will, in which he spells his name Adgit, and
says he was then in his eighty-fourth year, is dated 22 May,
1704; he was ordained, says Chesebrough, to his office in the
First Church, Saybrook, in 1646, and resigned in 1660, when
he removed to Norwich. Rev. Mr. Northup, of Norwich, says
" the Adgates, father and son, served as deacons for eighty-nine
years."
He was one of the earliest proprietors of Saybrook and Lyme ; the Say-
brook records mention him as present at a town meeting 7 Jan'y, 1665/6,
with Reinold Marvin, William Waller, and William Bushnell; he was a
freeman in Norwich in i66g ; Miss Caulkins describes his home-lot. He
was a townsman there in 1674, '76, '79, '80, '82, '84 and '86. By his first
marriage Adgate had two daughters, Elizabeth and Hannah, the younger of
whom married her step-brother, Richard Bushnell, Jr.

* History of Norwich, 213. As Richard, Jr., was b. in Saybrook in 1652, it must
have been his father to whome the grant was made ; and since the latter d. in
1658, the sale to Stewart was perhaps in settlement of his estate.

ties differ, follow Steiner; see N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg., as cited. For further par-

He was a prominent citizen of Norwich, a deacon in the
church, captain of the train-band, and filled many other pub-
lic offices, serving thirty-seven terms in the Legislature. 2
June, 1699, he received 100 acres of land in Lebanon, Ct.,
on the hill above Edward Culver's house, " because he had
been at considerable charge with the proprietors in settling
up the place."
iii. Francis,? b. Jan'y, 1653/4;* d. 1697, in Danbury, Ct.,

(See 13.) Francis and Hannah had four daus.
iv. Mary, b. Jan'y, 1654, in Saybrook (and thus by Steiner, a
twin sister of Francis); d. 2 Sept., 1745; m. Sept.,
1674, Ens. Thomas, son of Lieut. Thomas and Mary
Leffingwell, b. in Saybrook (probably on the "east side,"
Lyme), 27 Aug., 1649; d. 5 (25) March, 1723/4; they
had eleven chil. (Caulkins, 214: Leffingwell rec, 31,
has but nine.)
He left a very large estate, much of which had been given
to his father by the Mohegan chief Uncas, for some friendly
service rendered in one of his wars. Her epitaph reads : —
" In memory of an aged nurflng Mother of Gods New En-
glifh Israel, viz : Mrs. Mary Leffingwell, wife to Enfign
Thomas Leffingwell, Gent- who died Sep' ye 2nd, A.D. 1745.
Aged 91 years."

Christian names in the Bushnell family makes it difficult, and in some cases im-
possible, to identify different individuals, or to reconcile conflicting statements.
•f Savage, Hinman and Hyde call her Mary ; Miss Caulkins and Steiner, Mercy
or Marcy. Steiner does not give this m. in his notes on the family ; our attribu-
tion is perhaps justified by the fact that the western part of Preston is opposite
Norwich (on the other side of the Thames), where Mercie's mother was then liv-
ing, and by the ages of the parties ; but we have found nothing which proves or
disproves this assignment. The numbers, added for convenience, do not appear
on the record.

5 Sarah,^ daughter of Matthew' and Elizabeth Marvin,
christened in St. Mary's Church, Great Bentley, Essex,
27 Dec, 163 1 ; died in Stratford, Ct., probably near the close
of 1701 ; married (i), 4 Oct., 1648 (Hartford rec), in Hartford,
Ct., Ens. William, probably son of John and Margerie Goodrich,
born probably in or near Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk, England.*
He died in 1676, "leaving an estate of ^915 for his children."
He was admitted a freeman of Connecticut, 15 May, 1656, and was one
of the Grand Jury ; he was confirmed 1 1 May, 1663, as ensign of the Weth-
ersfield train-band,-|- and was a Deputy to the General Court from Wethers-
field in 1660, '62, '65 and '66.
Sarah married (2), about 1680, Capt. William, son of JohnJ and
Elizabeth (Hutchins) Curtis (name variously spelled on the
records as Curtis, Curtiss, Corteis, etc.), baptized 21 June, 161 8;
died 21 Dec, 1702 ; s.p. by this marriage.
He was one of the grantees of Woodbury, Ct., in 1672, but did not re-
move from Stratford ; he was captain of the train-band and intrusted with
important military duties. He was sixteen times elected Deputy to the
General Court. His will, dated 15 Dec, 1702, exhibited 31 Dec, 1702,
makes no mention of his wife. Her will, dated 21 Oct., 1697, and later
changed orally, is recorded at Fairfield ; it bears the written approval of
Capt. Curtis, and his " desire that it may have probate."§

also) born in Wethersfield :

} We follow the Ruggles Gen., by Henry S. Ruggles, of Boston, which differs
from the History of Stratford, in which he is erroneously called the son of William
(who was his uncle) and Elizabeth ; William's wife was not Elizabeth but Sarah
Eliot. Savage points out some of the errors in various accounts of the family,
but was unable to correct them. For further information concerning Capt. Wil-
liam, see Trumbull, History of Connecticut, I, passim, and History of Stratford,
126, 127, etc.
§ The date of 16 Jan'y, 1701/2, which appears on the copy of her will, stating
his desire, in our opinion belongs to this part of the record, as it was presented 7
Jan'y, 1701/2, and Goodwin errs in taking this to be 1702/3. If we are correct in
this, the inference above, that Sarah d. "near the close of 1701," seems justified.

6 Hannah,'' daughter of Matthew' and Elizabeth Marvin,
born in England about October, 1634, according to the
record of her age when she sailed with her father in the " In-
crease ;" her birth was not found on St. Mary's Parish Register.
The date of her death is unknown, but she was living in Novem-
ber, 1 680, when the agreement withdrawing exceptions to her
father's will was signed ; she probably died not long afterward.
She married 5 Jan'y, 1653/4, in Norwalk, as his first wife,
Thomas, eldest son of Richard and Mercy Seymour (on the old
records spelled Semer and Seamer). Thomas is believed to
have been born about 1632, in or near Bury Pomeroy, Heytor
Hundred, Devon, England, where his father resided. He mar-
ried (2), Elizabeth . His will was made 22 Sept., 171 2,
and probated 7 November, following.
The Memorial History of Hartford, Ct. (1 : 258), has an account of the
Seymours. Richard was of Hartford, 1639; °f Farmington, Ct., in 1652,
and in Norwalk in 1655, where he had a home-lot near the elder Matthew
Marvin's, and directly opposite the " Parade." This lot came into the pos-
session of Thomas shordy after his marriage. His name does not appear
in the earliest Norwalk deeds, but he had an estate there in 1655, and is
mentioned with several of the first setders in the confirmatory patent issued
by the General Court 8 July, 1686. In 1673 his " estate of lands and ac-
commodations " was ^100; in 1687 his "estate of Comonage" was £,\i\ ■■
15. Thomas was made freeman in 1668; chosen selectman 1689 and '92,
and a deputy to the General Court in 1690. On 22 Dec, 1709, he drew
two acres of land and 100 acres of commonage in the Saugatuck territory.

no other mention of her marriage.
t See Hall, 186; the accounts received are conflicting. One informant makes
Sarah dau. of Jachin Gregory, and " Jachin " is not an uncommon Bouton name
in later generations.

7 Abigail,' daughter of Matthew' and Elizabeth Marvin,
born in Hartford, Ct., about 1637-8 ; she was living in
December, 1680, when her step-mother died, but probably died
soon after; married as his first wife, "January ith, 1656/7"
(Norwalk rec), John, son of John and Alice Bouton ;* died
1706-7; his will is dated 25 Dec, i7o6,f and was approved 27
January following. He married (2), Mary ,\ by whom he
had issue.
His ■will§ has his autograph " John Buton,'' the last three letters of the
name written on the line below the rest. A wax seal is attached, but the
device has disappeared ; in it he styles himself " of Norwalk " (not of Dan-
bury, as stated in the Bouton volume, which confuses three of the name).
He mentions wife Mary ; sons Matthew, Joseph, Thomas and Richard ;
daughters Rachel Sension, Abigail Smith, Hannah Betts, Elizabeth Warrin
and Mary Bouton ; grandchild John Bouton, of Danbury (who was son of
John,' dec'd) ; it was witnessed by William Haines and John Gregory.
Joseph his son, and Mary his widow, approved it when presented, but " Mat-
thew Sension, Edman Warrin and James Betts, sons-in-law to the deceased
John Bouton, agrieved, appealed." Joseph approved the inventory 18 Feb.,
1706/7. The will as allowed was recorded 7 Feb., 1708/g.
John Bouton, Jr., was in Norwalk, 1655, and was one of the earliest pro-
prietors, though his name does not appear in the Ludlow agreement. His
lot of four acres was opposite Matthew Marvin, Jr.'s, a litde further west,
* The accounts of John Bouton in the Bouton-Boughton Family, in Hall's Nor-
walk, 182, by Mr. S. W. Benedict, in the History of Fairfield County, and in the
Whitney Family, substantially agree, but we have shown them to be erroneous by
the documents cited from Faii-field Prob. rec, discovered since these books were
printed. (See note, 296 nipra.)
t The year is spelled out in full, on the original document, which the writer
examined in Fairfield.
X The Bouton-Boughton Family gives the date of this m. as 1673, and says she
was " Mrs. Mary, widow of Jonathan Stevenson, who was killed in the Swamp-fight
with the Indians near Norwalk." That his second wife was Mary, appears from
his will ; whether she was the widow of Stevenson we know not, but as Abigail
was living when her mother-in-law made her will (Dec. i, 1680), as the Swamp-
fight was in Rhode Island (nowhere near Norwalk) in Dec, 1675, ^""l ^^ Norwalk
granted Stevenson land 20 Feb., 1677/8, for his services in that fight, we are in-
credulous; we have not ascertained how long Jonathan survived after the recog-
nit ion of his valor.

on the comer of the Stamford road, with the minister's and John Ruscoe's
on the east. Thomas Lupton was on the south, who sold to Piatt in 1665,
and in 1674 Bouton purchased of Piatt.
In 1675 his estate of "commonage" was ;£ioo, and in 1787, £\?ii, .. 15.
He was chosen "survaior" in 1670; was selectman in 1671, '74, '79, '83,
'84, '85 and '89, and represented Norwalk in the General Court in 1671, '73,
'74i '75i and again some years later, until 1685. In 1678 he was on a
" comite chosen to oversee the work about the meting-house," and one of
those to entertain the gentlemen called to settle the differences about mov-
ing that building. In 1686 he was on the committees to seat the new
meeting-house, and to "settle the differences about the head-lynes," and 16
Jan'y, 1694/5, to obtain a minister. He was one of the executors of the
will of Matthew,' and was " Serjeant " of the Norwalk train-band.

in Norwalk, where the births of all are recorded, t
* The dates of only five are given on the Norwalk rec, cited by Hall ; that as-
signed to Hannah (called " daughter" in her father's will, but not named in Bou-
ton), and those of the younger children there given, which we omit as not of
Marvin blood, are conjectural. There were probably other children who d. y.
t Selleck, 349, says she was a dau. of Nathaniel Hayes, and that while his will
makes no reference to a Bouton dau., there is on the Norwalk Land rec, in 1699,
a distinct mention of such a dau.
X See Hall, 194. For " Waring," see Hist, of Stamford. The dau. "Mary,"
called by her maiden name in the will, was prob. by second wife; she m. 1706,
David Waterburj', perhaps son of John and Mary, of Stamford, when she would
have been 35, if the dau. of Abigail. " Sension " is often used for St. John on the
records.
312 Matthew Marvin Line
8 Rebecca/ daughter of Matthew' and Elizabeth Marvin,
born about 1639, in Hartford, Ct. ; died before her hus-
band, but no record of her death or marriage has been found.
In Matthew's will (Dec, 1678) " Rebecca Clarke of farmington "
is named as his daughter ; she is believed to have married John
Clark, (Jr. T), of Farmington ; Rev. Samuel Hooker enrolled i
March, 1680, "John Clark and his wife" as members of the
First Church in that town,* and the names of eight out of twelve
of that John Clark's children, as given by Gay (whom we follow),
are identical with the names of eight of Matthew's children ; it
would seem that this was more that a mere coincidence.
The identity of the father of this John is unknown ; it has been claimed
that he was John of Hartford, who was a contemporary there with Matthew.
Gay says : " The descendants of John Clark of Farmington believe that he
was identical with John of Cambridge, Mass., and with John of Hartford,
and this is set down as an ascertained factf by Rev. Wm. S. Porter, a gene-
alogist of great industry and local research. The Clarks of Saybrook, Ct.,
claim that John of Cambridge, of Hartford, and of Saybrook, were identical,
and quote the authority of Hinman. No contemporaneous record has been
found to confirm or subvert either theory." John was made a freeman of
Farmington in May, 1664,$ and was in office there in 1691. The record
has : " John Clark of ffarmington ye aged Departed his Natural Life twenty-
second of Novembr In ye year of <y Lord 1712." His will is dated 8 Feb.,
1709/10, and has a codicil of the day before he died.
* " Record of the Descendants of John Clark of Farmington," by Julius Gay,
15. No Christian name of the wife is mentioned, but we are informed that the
Church rec. contain no others of the name at that time members, who meet the
conditions.
t Instead of being an " ascertained fact," it is a disputed question whether the
" John Clark of Farmington [whose descendants are traced by Gay], was identical
with John of Cambridge and John of Hartford." That John brought a wife and
four chil. from England in 1632, of whom the youngest was moi-e than eight years
older than Rebecca ; he was a freeman of Cambridge before 1636, when he went
to Hartford with Hooker. John of Saybrook d. in 1672, and his widow went to
Farmington, and d. there 22 Jan'yi 1678 (Gay, 10, 11) ; this John had a son John,
whose wife was Rebecca, but it is evident from various authorities that she was
not Rebecca Marvin. The agreement printed on 294, supra, shows that Rebecca
and her husband were living 6 Nov., 1 680, and Gay gives the date of baptism
of their youngest child as ten years later. Clearly, therefore, Matthew's dau. m.
neither John of Saybrook nor John of Hartford and Cambridge ; her husband
may have been a son of the latter, but certainly was not the son of the former.
There were many John Clarkes in New England who were contemporaries at this
period, and the identification of the father of Rebecca's husband does not seem
possible with our present knowledge.

Second Generation 313
The house of Sergt John' Clark, built before 1702, was on the east side
and near the comer of High street and the Hartford road ; it stood until
1 880, and is shown in the frontispiece of the Clark Genealogy (by Gay) ; it
is described in " Early Connecticut Houses," 1 8-20 ; here his younger brother
Matthew' died.

9 Rachel,' daughter of Matthew' and Alice Marvin, bap-
tized 30 Dec, 1649, i'^ Hartford, Ct. ; died about 1687 ;
married probably about 1670-1, "Mr. Samuel Smith" of Nor-
walk; Selleck says he was the son of Samuel and Elizabeth
Smith; he was living in 1722-3.
In 1672 he owned " a parcel of land in Indian Field," not far from the
Norwalk-Westport boundary. In 1673 his estate of lands, etc., was ;^7o.
He was propounded for a freeman in Norwalk in 1674 ; 20 August of that
year Matthew' gave* " to my sonne Samuel Smith of Norwalk, £t,o worth
of my comonage, half my homelot, and half my orchard, as it lyeth, with
free egress and regress, .... on condition that he pay £zo to Ruth Bowton
my grandchild when she shall attain to the age of eighteen years." This
grant was confirmed by Matthew's will.
20 Feb., 1680/1, he had a grant of a home-lot of four acres adjacent to
Strawberry Hill. In 1687 his estate of lands and commonage was ;£204 ..
15. He was often intrusted with public duties. In 1679 ^^ ^^^ town
treasurer, and at a meeting 4 Oct., of that year, it was " Voted and agreed
* Norwalk Grants and Deeds ; recorded also at Fairfield.

that the Towne would stand by " him, " in case of need, to straine any that
either neglect or refuse to pay." He was on the committee, with Matthew'
Marvin and John Bouton, to obtain a minister. In 1690 he represented
Norwalk in the Legislature; in 1698, 1702, '06 (in which year he is called
" Sr."), and '12, he was " townsman," and in 1705 and '06 he was on the
committee to seat the meeting-house " according to ye order of y^ Towne,
.... to order and determine that matter to their best discretion, they to
have respect to age, quality, and the estates of persons in ye publique list,
and ys Towne to abide their determination." In 1699 he was paid 2j. 6ii.,
for "Towne barrs," and loj. for killing "one Wolfe." Thomas Fitch,
King's Commissioner, made him one of the overseers of his will.
Children (Smith), born in Norwalk, order uncertain ; there
were probably others :
i. Rachel,3 b. 1672 or 1673?; ^- ^ Dec, 1737, "the pious
and virtuous consort;" m. 13 May, 1697, Ens. Thomas,
son of Thomas and Mary (Messenger) Benedict, b. 5

seven chil. ; he m. (2), Hannah Knapp, who survived
him. He was often surveyor, selectman, etc. His will
was proved 5 June, 1744, and the inventory {£160)
included a negro man named " Winsor."*
ii. Lydia, b. ■; m. 23 Oct., 1707, James, son of Ephraim
and Mercie (St. John) Lockwood, b. 21 April, 1683, in
Norwalk.
He represented Norwalk thirty years in the Legislature,
and was commissioned lieutenant of the second Norwalk
train-band 14 Oct., 1 731, and later is called colonel. They
had seven chil., one of whom. Rev. James,'* dedined the
presidency of Princeton, 1758, and of Yale, 1766. From
Lydia and James was also descended the distinguished jurist,
Chancellor James' Kent, a great-grandson. (See Lockwood
Gen., and SeUeck, 185, 263, 278, 289, 291, for further par-
ticulars.)

" Direful Swamp-fight."
THIRD GENERATION
10 Matthew,' son of Matthew^ and Mary Marvin, born
about 1656, in Norwalk; died 7 Oct., 1691! ; the inven-
tory of his estate, recorded at Fairfield, was sworn to by his
widow 3 Nov., 1691 ; married about 1688, Rhoda, daughter of
Mark and Elizabeth (Stanley) St. John, born 12 Aug., 1666;
her father's home-lot in Norwalk was on the west side of the
Main street, a little south of the " Ancient Parade." She was
living in 1702, when she bought a parcel of land of Matthias
" Sension ; " the date of her death we have not found. Matthew
left no will ; the inventory, copied from the original in the files
of the Fairfield Probate records, follows :

of death of Matthews and his only child (as noted), but as showing the care
with which the fathers of Rhoda and her husband protected the interests of
their children, in view of a possible future marriage of the widow.

agreement). Nothing further has been found, f
II Sarah,3 daughter of Matthew^ and Mary Marvin, born
in Norwalk, Ct., about 1662 or earlier; married 13 Jan'y,
1680, Thomas, son of Thomas and Mary Betts, born 3 June,

* This is probably the date of death of Matthew,' and we infer from the con-
text that the child was then two years old.
+ A correspondent thinks she m. John, son of Thomas Taylor, of Danbury, b.
1672-3 ; d. 1742, aged 70 ; who is said to have " married Marvin." We find
no authority, but it seems at least equally probable that John may have m. a dau.
of Matthew^ whose name we have not found, and who was probably nearer his
age.
X Hall, 275, quoting Guilford rec. ; but Betts, quoting the same rec, has 1644,
and gives 1650 to a younger bro. of Thomas, with which Savage in part agrees,
Betts' account sterns more probable.

"resigned it up." He was appointed 24 Feb., 1694/5, with others, to
" erect a new bridge or repair the old one " over Norwalk river, and was
also on the committee to entertain " the Reverend Elders." He was a
townsman 1702, 1706, 1713 ; on the committee to seat the meeting-house in
1706, and 16 Dec, 1708, to select a burial place on the west side of the
river. In 1709, he was one of the four allowed to " Damm up f=- crick," to
erect a grist mill, " To grind all grain into good and sufficient meal for ye
town, for the toal stated in ye law ; and not to grind for any strainger com-
ing with his grain to said mill, so long as any of ye Inhabitants of this
Towne's grain is lying in said mill unground, excepting any of said inhabi-
tants shall allow any strainger their turn." (Norwalk rec.) He represented
the town in the Legislature, in May, 1692, Oct., 1694, May and Oct, 1704,

12 Lieut. Samuel,' son of Matthew' and Mary Marvin, was
born in Norwalk, Ct., probably about 1664, but we have
been unable to find any record of his birth, marriage or death.
His will, we have been informed,
was dated in 1744,
ent efforts, continued for several years, have failed to discover
it. He was living in Feb., 1744/5, and his son was called " Sam-
uel, Jr." in 1754, but "Samuel" in 1759. He married about
1 70 1-2, Hannah, daughter of Dea. John and Hannah (Clark)
Piatt, of Norwalk, a niece of Sarah, wife of Lieut. Reynold^
Marvin, of Lyme, born 15 Dec, 1674.*
Samuel was one of the appraisers of his wife's father's estate. He was
often in public office ; he was chosen townsman 1702, '07, '10, 'I2, 'I4,f '17,
'24 and '27 ; he was " Lyster" 1716 and '23 ; " Survaior" 1719, '21 ; represen-
tative, 1708 and '18 ; ensign of the train-band 17 12 or earlier, and "estab-
lished and confirmed Lieutenant of the South Company or train-band of
Norwalk" by the Legislature 19 Oct., I7i9.t
•She is identified by her father's will (Fairfield Prob. rec, 1702-24: 72), in
which she is called " my daughter Hannah Marvin." The Norwalk rec. has " borne
the 15th of Desember, Anno 1674. I say the fifteenth of Desember, Anno 1674."
The reason for this somewhat emphatic entry does not appear ; no record of her
death has been found.
t On the record of the town meeting for 11 Dec, 17 17, an amusing feat of the
town clerk is shown by a large " Samuel " preceding a brace, which is followed by
the names of Comstock, Betts, Kellogg, Marvin and Raymond, — the Christian
name of each of the townsmen elected that year being Samuel.

3 June, 1723, he was on the committee to seat the new meeting-house, of
which his brother-in-law, Joseph Piatt, was chairman; from Feb., 1732,
until his death, he lived in Wilton parish. His house in Norwalk, one of
the oldest there, was standing in 1902. By a deed, recorded at Norwalk 17
Dec, 173 s, Isaac, his "loveing son," was given land called " Wolfpitt
Hills,"* Matthew, " a portion," Josiah, " land equal to Matthew's." Sam-
uel also received a gift of land the same day. Josiah was given more land
27 April, 1741, Isaac, 19 Dec, 1744, and Samuel, Jr., 18 Jan'y, 1744/5;
two of these three deeds Lieut. Samuel signed with his mark, indicating he
was then infirm. A very careful search fails to find a final division of his
remaining property.

Roads," and eight acres of it was "on his father Marvin's account." 16
December, 1708, he was appointed town collector. When the meeting-

land granted by the town " in ye plain before Lt. Lee's door," for St. Paul's
Church.
18 Nov., 1737, he gave a lot of land eight rods square to the " Presbi-
terian or Congregational church of Wilton, on which to erect a meeting-
house."* He confirmed this by deed of 6 May, 1738, in which he said
" among the congregation are some of my children," naming John as one.f
21 Jan'y, 1752, he bought for ^2400 the farm previously owned by his son
John in Sharon, and not long after setded there ; he is called of Norwalk 1
Nov., 1754, and of Sharon 17 March, 1756, where he owned several other
parcels of land, and soon after his purchase (11 May, 1752) he deeded to
his " loveing son Joseph Marvine of Norwark," a lot, for " love, good-will,
and affection." Joseph was appointed administrator of his father's will 7

328 Matthew Marvin Line
18 Abigail/ daughter of Lieut. Samuel^ and Hannah (Piatt)
Marvin,* born probably about 1706; married David, son
of David and Martha (Blagge) DeForest, of Stratford, Ct., born
24 April, 1702 ; died 1748.
" The DeForests of Avesnes," 226, says his will is dated 1 8 April, 1 748,
and on 215, the inventory of his estate (in which he is spoken of as "lately
deceased ") is said to bear the same date, but which statement is correct
we cannot say. His estate was appraised at ^4000, " old currency," and
his son Hezekiahs was made executor. Some of the family seem to have
lived in D anbury, Ct.
Children (DeForest) :
i. Hezekiah,s b. ; bap. Dec, 1726 ; m. Rebecca ;
in 1749 both belonged to the Cong'l church in Wilton,
Ct.
ii. Lemuel, b. ; bap. Aug., 1728 ; m. 26 Dec, 1751, at
Wilton, Phebe, dau. of David and Mary (St. John)

I. Abigail!' b. 24 April, 1753 (Selleck, 290) ; d. 8 May, 1786 ;t
m. 9 Nov., 1774, as his second wife, Sergt. James,' son of Job and
Rachel Lockwood (a gr.-gr.-grandson of Matthew' Marvin), b. 25
Oct., 1746, in New Canaan, N. Y. ; d. 30 Oct., 1833, and had issue.
z. James, b. .%
3. Thaddeus, b. 4
iii. Abigail, b. 24 April, i73i.§
• She is identified by the fact that David DeForest, who is called his " loving
brother" by Matthew* (16) and made executor of his will, married (by various
authorities), " Abigail ; " as the names of Matthew's two wives are known, it
is evident that DeForest must have married Matthew's sister.
t Lockwood Gen. says she d. aet. 36, which would make her b. 1750, a year or
more before the date given for her parents' marriage. See note to Abigail iii,
below.
% Rockwell- Keeler Gen., 15, but not verified.
§ The accounts of " Abigail " given by different writers do not agree. Selleck,
278, makes the Abigail who m. Lockwood the daughter of Lemuel (ii) and Phebe ;
Lockwood Gen,, 247, says James m. Abigail DeForest (not naming her parents),
who "d. 8 May, 1786, of pleurisy, aet. 36." Orcutt, History of Stratford, H91,
and The DeForests, 226, following Orcutt, give this Lockwood-DeForest m. to
Lemuel's sister Abigail, who was 15 years or more older than James; it seems
probable therefore that Selleck and Lockwood Gen. (which we follow) are right
in assigning the m. to the daughter of Lemuel, but that Lockwood is wrong either
in its date of death or age. The birth of Lemuel's sister Abigail is given by
Orcutt as in text ; Selleck gives the same month and day, but a different year, to
Lemuel's daughter.

probably not of this family.
19 JosiAH/ son of Lieut. Samuel' and Hannah (Piatt) Mar-
vin, born about 1710, in Norwalk, Ct. ; died about 1780;
married (i), 20 Feb., 1734/5, Elizabeth, daughter of David and
Martha (Blagge) DeForest, born 4 June, 17 14, in Stratford, Ct. ;
died 3 Oct., 1739; her tombstone is standing in the Sharp's
Hill burying-ground ; married (2), 1740, Sarah Bennett, died
about 1741 ; married (3), Hannah Blagge, born 17 16, in Strat-
ford; died 13 Dec, 1745, in Wilton, Ct., aet. 29; married (4),
about 1747, Sarah Sturges ; she was living 4 March, 1782, when
she sold dower rights in land in Norwalk belonging to her hus-
band's estate, to her step-sons William and Jared, of Ballston,
N. Y.
Josiah was comet of a troop of horse attached to the 9th Ct. reg't, in
May, 1753, and was promoted to a lieutenancy in May, 1755.* He was in
1754 and for many years after, a vestryman of St. Paul's, Norwalk, in the
rebuilding of which, after it was burned by the British, he was active ; some
of this family were loyalists. He was chosen fence-viewer in 1758. The
inventory of his estate, made 12 May, 1780, shows that he owned 110
acres of " Stamford lands," valued at ;^495 ; Wampum Hill lands, ^132 ;
other lands, .^204 ; many chattels including, cattle, etc. ; he evidently pos-
sessed a large estate. His widow Sarah was named executrix.

* Because of the destruction of the rec. not only of the " Prime Antient Society "
but also of St. Paul's, Norwalk, we have been unable to verify some^of the state-
ments as to the older children, furnished us by descendants of Josiah, which have
material variations ; Selleck, following Talcott, says there were four daus. ; we
find but three. Selleck, 1 53, also thinks that the third wife was a widow when
she m. Josiah, for which we find no evidence.
t It has been stated that she m. — — - " Hulsort," and had a son Cornelius, said
to have been Collector of the port of New York ; we have found no evidence of
this save tradition.

21 Lewis,'' son of Lieut. Samuel' and Hannah (Piatt) Mar-
vin, born about 17 16 or earlier, in Norwalk, Ct.; died
"near the close of the Revolution," or about 1783-4; his will,
dated 22 Nov., 1778, was probated 8 Oct., 1784,! in which he
calls himself of " Rye, Westchester co., N. Y." He married (i),
Martha , born about 1718 ; died 5 Feb., 1757 (.?) ; married
(2), probably in 1758, Sarah -, who survived him.
A tombstone found in the wall on the west side of Grace, afterwards
Christ Church, Rye,t has the following :
" Sacred to the Memory of Mrs. Martha Marven, late consort
of Mr. Lewis Marven, of Rye, who exchanged this life for a
better, Feb'y 5th, 1767, in the 39th year of her age.
Let us since life can little more supply —
Than just to look about us and to die,
Hope humbly, and with trembling pinions sore, (sic)
Wait the great teacher, death, and God adore"
He settled in Rye about 1 739 or earlier, as he witnessed a deed there in
that year, and resided in " Sawpits" (now Port Chester, N. Y.), near Byram
river, where lots were laid out in 1741 ; in 1758 his house was the most
noted of the half-dozen between Regent street and Byram bridge, and is
shown on Erskine's military map of 1778 :§ " It was on Willett street, and
standing in 1 870, a good specimen of the solid and comfortable dwellings of
the better sort of the olden time. The old country road ran along the
northern side of the house, where a lane is yet to be seen. It was after-
wards kept as a public house by his son Samuel, and early in the nineteenth
century passed to one Reuben Coe, whose daughter was living in it in 1870."
16 June, 1770, he sold land in Norwalk. His will mentions wife Sarah ;
" eldest son Joseph," " youngest son Joseph," " youngest son Samuel,"
daughter Elizabeth and her husband Samuel Jarvis, and daughter Susannah.
* A " Bushnell Marvin " said to have been of the family, was prob. " Brush."
t Surrogate's Office, New York CO., N. Y., XXXVII : 246. Rye was origi-
nally in Connecticut, later in New York.
X Bolton, History of the P. E. Church in Westchester Co., N. Y., 349. There
must be an error either in the age as given, or in the year of her death (probably
the latter should be 1757), for if the dates are correctly printed, she would have
been but twelve when the eldest son of Lewis was b., unless there was a still
earlier m., of which no evidence has been found.
§ See Baird's History of Rye, 267-8.
332 Matthew Marvin Line
Three of these were doubtless by his first wife; he directs (in 1779) his
" youngest son Joseph " to pay all his just debts, and gives him his build-
ings, lands, etc., in Rye, and his negro boy " Hary," which seems to imply
that the younger Joseph was then of age ; among other legacies he orders his
" negro man Moses, which Run away to New York," to be sold, and gives
"to my youngest daughter Susannah my negro wench, when her mother
Discontinues my widow;" "eldest son Joseph" to have ";^ioo continental
money, which is now by me, in full Bar of his .... claiming anything "
more of his father's estate; we believe there can be no doubt that the
"youngest son Joseph," and "youngest daughter Susannah," unmarried in
1779, were by the second marriage.

ried in 1724, Abigail, daughter of Samuel and Rebecca (01m-

20 Oct., 177s ; and 2 Sept., 1783, then of Simsbury, Ct., was
appointed adm'r in Connecticut.
John, or his father, was a deacon in the Sharon church. He held the
office of " Lyster " in Norwalk, and was commissioned lieutenant of the first
train-band there in May, 1745 ;* 28 April, 1748, John and Abigail "of Nor-
walk" sell land; soon afterward he removed to Sharon, Ct., where 19
May, 1748, he bought land of Dan'l Reed, of Norwalk ; and 22 Aug., 1748,
bought for ^iioo, of Elihu Ketcham, the "Bates place," about a mile east
of the meeting-house, where he lived until 1753, when (21 Jan'y, 1752/3)
he sold a large part of his estate to his father; in 1770 he removed to
Brookhaven; in April, 1774, he is called "of Blew-point," and in December
following, of "Winthrop's Patten, South Haven." He was one of the
owners of the iron works at the mouth of Mudge pond in Sharon. He was

Marvin, born 24 Aug., 171 1, in Norwalk, Ct. ; probably
died in the summer of 1779, in Wilkes Barre, Luzerne co.. Pa.,
during the small-pox epidemic there in 1768-9; married about
1732, Hannah, probably daughter of Ebenezer and Mary (Fitch)
Gregory.
3 Nov., 1747, he is called "of Norwalk," in a deed of land sold; though
he appears to have gone to New Canaan, Ct, soon after that town was set off
from Norwalk and Stamford; in May, 1752, he was of Goshen, Orange CO.,
N. Y. ; 4 Nov., 1752, he sold his farm in "Grey Court" to Joseph Drake;
he is called "Captain" in 1759; in 1762 he bought land in Wyoming, Lu-
zerne CO., Pa., moving thither after 13 July, 1762, and was admitted to the
"Susquehanna Company,'' g April, 1763; he left Wyoming before the
Indian massacre, but is said to have returned there with Major Durkee in
1779. He was one of the "three able and judicious men" chosen "Direc-
tors" from the settlers in Plymouth township, in December, 1774, to repre-
sent their interests. The " Harvey Book " says he had six sons and five
daughters ; we have learned the names of only two daughters ; the order of
birth is unknown, but the elder children were bom in Norwalk.

a dau. of Ebenezer,' son of Seth (49), has " Seth, b. 21 Dec, 1749," and " Seth,
b. I Jan'y, 1751." The latter date agrees with his tombstone in the old Norwalk
■cemetery, which says he "died July 6, 1836, aged 85 yrs. 6 mos." Rept. Fairfield
CO. Hist. Soc, xii, No. 42. We find no record of Phebe, whose name was sent by
a correspondent ; possibly she was the eldest child.
+ Selleck's Norwalk, 72, has an account of Matthew' Marvin's grandson David
escaping from the Indians by an artifice ; Matthew' had no grandson David, and
the story belongs to a grandson of Capt. David* ; some of his descendants are
still hving who, in their childhood, heard him relate the incident.

daughter of John Yelverton, of Chester village, Goshen, Orange
CO., N. Y., born 1723 ; died 10 May, 1803, aged 80.
He resided in Oxford village, in the township of Cornwall, Orange co.,
where he was fence viewer and one of the overseers of the poor in 1 765 ; he
signed the "Association Pledge" there, dated 29 April, 1775, opposing arbi-
trary acts of Great Britain.* In 1775, he was chairman of the Committee
of Safety and Observation of Cornwall; in 1777, one of the "Committee
men" under whose charge town meetings were held; in 1778, Judge of the
Orange county Court of Common Pleas ; in 1779, one of the Commissioners
who tried and convicted the notorious Claudius B. Smith and others, who
had robbed and murdered patriots in Orange co. He was active in the Rev-
olution, serving as lieut.-colonel of Col. Jesse WoodhuU's reg't from Orange
CO. (commissioned 21 Feb., 1778) and in other capacities.f When the peo-
ple of New York were called on, in May, 1780, to loan money to the State,
to aid in putting the army in proper condition to co-operate with the French,
who were then about to arrive, Elihu and his son Elihu, Jr., were among the

building a school-house " thereon, deed to the free-holders a piece of land.
An obituary published soon after his decease said, that " few have been
more useful to society than he. . . . He served as judge of the court, was a
colonel and general in the militia, and a deacon in the church. His funeral
sermon was preached by the Rev. Mr. Crane from Job xix: 25." His tomb-
stone bears the following lines :

But now my limbs lie mouldering under ground.

born 15 Sept., 1745 ; died November, 1827 or '28. They were
interred in the King street cemetery.
He was appointed ensign of the 3d Norwalk company in May, 1767;
lieutenant of the " third train-band in the first society of Norwalk," in May,
1769, and captain of the 12th company, 9th Ct. reg't, Dec, 1775.II He
served during the Revolution as captain of the last named command 1 2

captain again in the 9th reg't in 1780.
In April, 1777, the British landed forces at " Compo," and the militia of
Norwalk, under Capt. Ozias Marvin, with those of Stamford, marched to
repel them ; they were obliged to spend the night at Saugatuck, and as the
weather was cold and chilly, Capt. Marvin supplied his troops with provi-
sions, among which were 60 pounds of dried beef, 8 pounds of sugar, 45
gallons of rum and 24 case botdes. On the following day the soldiers took
part in an attack on the enemy at Ridgefield. Some time afterward, Capt.
Marvin, on his petition to the Assembly, was allowed £iZ .. is. .. 4d, lawful

appointed to confer with the Continental Congress. He continued to serve
in the militia after the war, and is called major on the Town rec. in 1785.
He was a selectman every year from 1776 to 1792, excepting 1786 and '87.
From a letter written by one of the family we quote the following :
The house of Capt. Ozias Marvin, which, as he was a carpenter, he built
himself in 1 761, is still standing two miles east of Norwalk, in Westport
(originally a part of Norwalk), at the intersection of " the King's Highway "
and the " Connecticut Turnpike," now State street, on the east side of the
road ; it was used as an inn in the olden time, and is now owned by his
grandson, David M. Marvin. It has been moved about fifty feet from its
original location, and somewhat altered, but the original timbers and the
floor of the room in which Washington slept, II Nov., 1789,! are still intact.
Traditions of his visit are stiU preserved by the descendants. The General
arrived in a barouche just as one of the sons, the late Joseph L. Marvin,
who used to tell the story, was returning from the cider-mill with his ox-cart ;
hiding behind the team to see the party, Washington observed him and said
" How do you do, young man?" Mrs. Marvin had prepared a bountiful
supper for the travellers, but the General contented himself with a bowl of
milk ; the bowl he used is still preserved in Westport. Mr. SeUeck (Nor-
walk, 152) relates that Esther, then a maiden of 19, shrunk from his prof-
fered kiss, to which the General jestingly replied she might live to repent of
her shyness.

society of Norwalk," in May, I769.t He was a vestryman 1779-86, in St.
Paul's Church, in which, after it was rebuilt, he owned pew 17. He also
served for some time as chorister, and the ancient pitch-pipe he used in
"raising the tune," which dates from 1742, and which escaped the fire at
the time of the British raid on Norwalk, is still preserved. 29 Sept, 1 794,
he bought land of his son Barnabas, which the latter had inherited from his
mother. His home was near " Five-mile River." He died intestate.

37 JoHN,5 son of Josiaht and Sarah (Sturges) Marvin, born
16 May, 1757, in Norwalk, Ct. ; died 23 May, 1830, in
Springfield, N. B. ; interred there in Trinity church-yard ; mar-
ried 9 March, 1787, in Kingston, Kings co., N. B., Grace, daugh-
ter of Silas and Sarah (Barlow) Raymond, born 30 March, 1771,
in Norwalk; died 27 Sept., 1847, in Springfield.
John was a loyalist during the Revolution, and joined the refugees who
sailed from Norwalk on the ship " Union," for St. John, N. B., after the
close of the war. Family tradition relates that his marriage engagement
was made on the voyage, and the wedding followed not long after their
arrival at their new home. He, with three other young men, made up the
party recorded as the first to pitch their tents on the shores of Kingston
creek. He was one of the petitioners to Gov. Carleton for a clergyman for
the Kingston church, 20 March, 1786, and subscribed in 1789, toward the
erection of Trinity Church, Springfield, still standing in excellent preserva-
tion ; he was chosen a vestryman in that parish 5 April, 1 790, and was one
of its wardens from 1800 to 181 1. Some of their descendants afterwards
returned to the United States. This branch usually spell the name Marven.

Hebard, for valuable aid.

44 Hon. Ebenezer,5 son of Lieut. John* and Abigail (St.
John) Marvin, born 17 April,* baptized 11 May, 1741, in
Wilton parish, Norwalk, Ct. ; died 3 Nov., 1820, in Franklin,
Vt. ; married 20 Oct., 1763, Sarah Minerva, daughter of James
Adams, born 8 Nov., 1744, in Salisbury, Ct. ; died December,
1834, in Berkshire, Vt., at the home of her daughter, Mrs.
Minerva Royce.
He went to Sharon, Ct, with his father, and was a farmer there ; but his
solicitude for his eldest son, who finally died of a disease which baffled phy-
sicians, led him to study medicine ; he enjoyed a successful practice, and
was widely known for his skiU in dangerous cases. He removed to Still-
water, N. Y., in 1777, thence to Lansingburgh, N. Y., and in 1781 resided
in Tinmouth, Vt. ; in 1 794 he was an original proprietor of Franklin,
and built the first frame house erected there, recently, and perhaps still,
standing. October, 1797, he settled in Berkshire.
After his removal to Vermont he gradually relinquished his medical prac-
tice and became even more eminent as a lawyer. He was judge of the
Rutland County Court in 1 783 ; chief judge of the Chittenden County
Court in 1794, and of that of Franklin County in 1 796-1 803 and 1808-9,
serving in the three counties nearly twenty years. " There was a very strong
and uniform confidence in his wisdom and probity, and though he had not
received a professional education in legal science, he possessed uncommon
qualities for the position, with a marked official impartiality." He was one
of the Council of Censors in 1785 ; for twenty years he was a member of
the Executive Council of Vermont, and the adoption of the Constitution of
that State was largely due to his influence and counsel.
He was a captain in the Revolutionary army, and served with Ethan
AUen and Arnold at Ticonderoga and Crown Point, and later was appointed
a surgeon, acting in that capacity in the batties at Stillwater. 18 Aug.,
1775, the Massachusetts Legislature voted him ^4 .. 10, for his services in
obtaining the funds for the pay-roll of Capt. Ezra Buell's company (^198 ..
8 .. 6).
" He was a strong Federalist of the Washington school, and in religious
preference and profession a Churchman. In person he was august and im-
pressive, fuUy six feet in stature, of large frame, broad-shouldered, strong
and muscular, and retained his vigor to the close of a laborious life." He
was a charter member and the first Master of Washington Masonic Lodge,
of Burlington, Vt, serving 1 795, '96 and '97. " His wife was a true help-
meet, a keen observer, a quick judge of character, and endowed with a
pungent wit."t

45 Maj. EphraiMjS son of Lieut. John* and Abigail (St.
John) Marvin, born 26 Dec, 1745, in Wilton parish,
Norwalk, Ct. ; died 27 July, 1793, in Frederickstown, Dutchess
CO., N. Y. ; married 1765, Abigail , born 1743 ; died 2 April,
1818 ; she was appointed to administer her husband's estate.
Ephraim was one of the early members of St. John's Lodge, Norwalk,
chartered in 1765. He went to Brookhaven, L. I., and 20 Feb., 1776, was
adjutant of Col. Josiah Smith's reg't of Minute-men; he was actively em-
ployed and frequent references to his services appear in the MS. minutes of
the Brookhaven Committee of Safety, April-June, 1776. It appears in
" New York in the Revolution " that he was taken prisoner by the British ;
in 1779-80 the raids of the British compelled him to return to Norwalk, and
in the spring of 1 780 he petitioned to be relieved from taxes there, " as he
had spent all he had brought over with him ; " in this petition his brother
Benjamin and many others joined. Seth Marvin accompanied them from
Brookhaven. Some time after that, he settled in Frederickstown, where, 2
July, 1785, he mortgaged 350 acres of land. In 1786 he was captain of
the 7th company in Col. Field's reg't ; he was promoted to be second major
12 March, 1790, holding that position at his death.

walk, Ct. ; lived to an advanced age, joining the Shaker Society
at Sodus, Wayne co., N. Y., late in life, and died there. The
name of his wife has not been found.
He was called " General," and is said to have resided at one time on
Long Island, having probably accompanied his father thither; in 18 13 a
Jedediah Marvin, probably the same, was living in Utica, N. Y. Our
knowledge of his family is largely derived from the Cleveland Genealogy,
in which the record is somewhat conflicting, as will be seen below. It is
believed that he had several children, but after extensive correspondence we
have been unable to obtain any further particulars.

28 Aug., 1823, "relict, aged 94 yrs., 5 months" (gravestone in
North Salem, now a part of Orange, Mass.).
In 1765 he bought a farm in Oxford, Mass., of his brother-in-law, Eph-
raim Bullard, and resided there till 1777 ; he left Oxford, probably for New
Salem, Mass., after February, 1782. He is believed to be the John who
was a private in Capt. Davis's company, Col. Freeman's reg't, " on secret
service in Rhode Island 37 days in December and January, 1777-8," and
who later enlisted in Capt. Morgan's company, serving from 27 Jan'y, to i
July, 1778, in a "detachment of the militia of Hampden and Worcester

L. I.; married about 1778, Hannah Smith, born October, 1759 ;
died 1826. Tradition says he went to Norwalk with his father,
married there during the Revolution, and that his first three
children were born there, but we have been unable to find any
record confirming it.

He went with his father to New Canaan, Ct, and subsequently to Goshen,
Orange co., N. Y. ; about 1762, the family removed to Luzerne cc. Pa. A
deed of 4,000 acres of land which he purchased west of the Hudson river,
is preserved by his great-grand-daughter, Grace Elwood ; it is written on
parchment, and is an elaborate and interesting document.

"spring or summer of 1774," Phebe, daughter of James and
Phebe (Harrison) Nesbitt, of Wyoming, Luzerne co.. Pa., born
18 Feb., 1759, in Newark, N. J. ; died about 18 10, in Sunbury,
Delaware co., Ohio, having married as her second husband,
Timothy Hopkins, Jr., by whom she had nine children, one of
whom, Jemima, was the mother of Gen. W. S. Rosecrans, of the
Union army, in the Civil war.
Uriah settled in Wyoming as early as 2 June, 1 769 ; in the spring of
1 772 he was in Wilkes Barre, and later in Plymouth, Luzerne co.. Pa., of
* The military title of Captain, sometimes given to this David, and the state-
ment that he fell in the battle of Wyoming, seem to rest on a family tradition.
The New York Military Rolls show two enhstments (in 1758 and '59) for service
in the French and Indian war, of a David Marvin, in Capt. David Marvin's com-
pany from Orange co. ; it has been supposed that these entries referred to this
son of Capt David* (25), but his age, as stated on the record in each case, would
make him born in 1739, and married when only 19, if that be correct. If the
two are identical there would seem to be an error either in the date of birth fur-
nished us, or in the age, twice given in the records.
t Mr. Homer Rockwell says that Samuel res. for some years in Wyoming, and
then went to Ohio.

which he was one of the first settlers ; he was in the battle with the Indians
and tories 3 July, 1778, and after the massacre fled to Orange cc, N. Y.,
with his wife and children ; having placed them in safety, he returned a few
weeks later and joined Col. Buder's troops. His name appears on the N. Y.

\ This, if correct, and our informant is a grandson who remembers him, would
make him the second of the Marvin family who lived to be over 100. It would
seem prob. that our informant may have confused two generations ; the similarity
of names and conflicting accounts have rendered it impossible to identify this Seth
with either of those mentioned in the note on p. 74 supra, though there is little
doubt that one of them belonged to this family.

Archibald was a member of the Provincial Congress from Orange co., in

of the " Cornwall minute-men,'' of which Thomas Moffatt was captain ; later
he was captain and lieut.-colonel ; his commission as colonel in the militia
is preserved by his grand-daughter, Mrs. Moses Smith, of Chicago, lU. ; he

between New York and Pennsylvania. He was interred near the house
which he occupied the latter part of his life, and which is stiU standing on
the west road from Chester to Oxford.^ His gravestone says : " in his time
a Christian philanthropist and statesman." In the summer of 1903, Mr.
Nathan H.^ Helme (grandson of Seth,^ no) enclosed the burial-place which
contains this grave and that of several of the family, with a fine iron fence,
and erected a monument to his memory.

* The Sharon rec. have the baptism on 4 Oct., 1806, of " Almira and Arsenah,
children of Widow Martin," which may be a clerical error of name and date for
" Almira and Asenath, children of Widow Marvin," as Joseph Marvin was then
living; the same rec. also has the m. of Almira Martin and Elijah H. Williams, 27
May, 1829, and of Asenath Martin, of Sharon, and Darius J. Beard, of Salisbury,
Ct., 23 March, 1821 ; we have been unable to obtain evidence which would justify
us in changing the rec. furnished us, as given above ; the similarity of names is
noticeable, but we believe only a coincidence.

90 John Case,* son of Johns and Mary (Case) Marvin, born
24 March, 1765, in Sharon, Ct. ; married Clarissa Case.
He removed to the northern part of New York, west of Lake Champlain ;
some of the family settled in Vermont, and others in Keeseville, Essex co.,
N. Y., but of most of them no reliable information has been obtained. He
and some of his children lived in Peru, Clinton co., N. Y. The files in the
Pension office, Washington, show that a " John C. Marvin [claimed by de-
scendants to be this John] aged about twelve, enlisted in the spring of 1 776,
at Saybrook, Ct., on the U. S. ship ' Trumbull,' under the command of
Capt, Elisha Hinsman. He served twelve months and was wounded
through the left leg in the engagement with the British ship ' Pegasus,'
and was discharged at New London, Ct." Whether this lad was identical
with John Case Marvin, whose father was then living at a considerable dis-
tance from Saybrook, may be doubted, though we find no other to whom we
can assign this service, and family tradition confirms it.*
Children (order uncertain) :
i. William,? b. abt. 1793? in Peru; m. (abt. 1826?) Phebe
Cornell. He was a soldier in the war of 1812, and
was wounded in the battle of Plattsburg. Children: i.
John E.^ res., 187 1, in Chicago, 111.: 2. Delia: 3.
Martha, said to have m. Gratton (or Stratton),
and res., Burlington, Vt. : 4. Helen : 5. Mary Case :
some of the daus. were living in Minnesota abt. 187 1.
172. ii. Hiram, b. 10 July, 1795, in Granville, N. Y.
iii. John, b. .
* The printed Pension Rolls have " John C. Marvin, sailor," in northern N. Y.,
aged 70 in 1820 ; the age may be an error, as shown by the Washington files cited.
The accounts of this family from different sources do not entirely agree.

no such child, and other information leads to the belief that his assignment to
Seth, given above, is the most probable, though accounts are conflicting.

Benjamin served in the Revolutionary army, and though young, rendered
good service and received a pension. He was probably the Benjamin Mar-
vin, a private in Capt. John Spoor's company, in Col. Ashley's Berkshire
(Mass.) reg't, serving in Oct., 1780, at the time of the alarm, when Fort
George and Fort Ann were taken by the enemy. (Mass. Rec.) The Pen-
sion rolls show he was living with his son Timothy, in Charlton, June, 1840,
and had served in the Connecticut mihtia. He resided in Litchfield co., Ct.,
until about 1802, when he settled in Charlton.

and his father served in the Revolutionary army. The family resided in
Tinmouth, Vt., until 1791 ; they then removed to Huntsburgh, now Frank-

ried II Dec, 1802, Cynthia, daughter of Jonathanf and Patty
(Plympton) Janes, of St. Johns, Canada, born 8 July, 1783, in
St. Albans, Vt. ; she survived her husband, and married (2), Dr.
Jabez Penniman, of Colchester, Vt., who was collector of U. S.

Ebenezer was admitted to the bar in March, 1801 ; he was town clerk
of Sheldon, Vt., 1806-13 ; State's Attorney for Franklin co., 1806-16 ; rep-
* On p. 334 supra, Mrs. Smalley is quoted as saying that a sister of her grand-
father, Ebenezer, was the mother of Moses Strong, " whose dau., Betsey Marvin
Strong, m. Rodney C. Royce." Her statement that one the sisters married a Mr.
Strong may be correct, but we find she was in error in thinking her the mother of
Moses, and Betsey's middle name was Matilda, not Marvin. The version above is
from the Strong Gen.
t Jonathan Janes went to Vermont from Lebanon, Litchfield CO., Ct., not far
from the home of Ebenezer. See Loomis Fam., pp. 394, 397. The Plympton
Gen. has 1801 for the marriage of Cynthia, and their first child b. 1803. The
Loomis Gen. has no dates of either. We follow a family record from Mrs. Julia
C. Smalley, except that in her article on Stephen Royce, cited above, she says
this Ebenezer was b. 8 Oct., 1778, in Stillwater. See also Vt. Hist. Mag., II : 367.

He was a prominent lawyer, a leader in the Democratic
party in Vermont for many years, and held office under the
National Government. The Univ. of Vermont conferred
upon him the degree of A. M. in 1833. Mrs. Smalley was
a lady of remarkable literary ability, thoroughly familiar
with the local history of northern Vermont ; she was deeply
interested in the family genealogy, and rendered much assist-
ance to the compilers. The family resided in St. Albans,
Swanton, and for a time in Burlington, Vt.

He practiced law in Franklin, Vt., and was for a time in the U. S. Cus-
toms service in Swanton, Vt. He owned a farm on the line between Ver-
mont and Canada, a portion being in each ; when he purchased it there
was residing there a " squatter " who had no tide and paid no rent ; fore-
seeing trouble if this passed unnoticed, Elihu called upon him one day,
and it was agreed between them that the intruder should pay one good
ear of com, yearly, for rent, so long as he remained there ; at his death
his children claimed the farm, but the fact that their father had paid the
ear of corn as rent was proved, and they lost their case.

100 Abigail,* daughter of Ephraims and Abigail Marvin,*
born about 1780-1, in South East, Putnam co., N. Y. ;
died perhaps about 1811-12; married 17 March, 1799, Jared,
son of Capt. Noah and Deborah (Hoyt) Bouton, born 30 Jan'y,
1780, in Salem, Washington cc, N. Y. ; died February or
March (will dated 7 Feb., proved 9 March), 1824 ; he married
(2), Clorinda , named in his will.
* This assignment of Abigail to Ephraim is believed to be correct, though we
have been unable to establish it fully by records. The Bouton-Boughton Fam.
does not give her parentage, and differs in several points from information fur-
nished us. It gives the date of Jared's birth as 20 Jan'y, 1780, and that of his
oldest son as 29 Feb., 1800, — the latter of course an error, 1800 not being a
leap-year. Jared's will is recorded in Carmel, N. Y., Prob. rec, B : 168 ; the
inventory was filed 19 April, 1825. Nathaniel W.' (45, ii) Marvin was one of the
appraisers ; " Odle " and Egbert were executors ; it mentions all the children
named in the text except iii ; it is thought by one informant that all but the first
three were by the second wife, and by others that she had six chil. Bouton-
Boughton gives all to Abigail. We have found no evidence to sustain either
theory. For the descendants of Jared see Bouton-Boughton Fam., pp. T99 et seq.

Jan'y, 1756, who survived him. He resided in Oxford, Mass.,

settlement of his estate, when Samuel Pearce was appointed guardian of all but
Betsey, who is named in her father's will. The name of the sixth child appears
to be variously spelled Alcedania, Alsadana, Alsedana or Meediana, but which is
the correct version it is impossible to say.

102 Jesse,^ son of Nathans and Marys (Marvin) Marvin, born
about 1759 (?) in Goshen, N. Y. ; died Feb., 1818, in
Monroe, Orange co., N. Y. ; will made 30 Jan'y, approved 20
Feb., 1818 (Goshen Wills, F: 193); married (i), probably about
1780, and certainly before 1789, Hannah, probably a daughter
of Colman Curtis;* married (2), before 1807, Jane (Brewster.'),
who survived him.
16 Feb., 1807, Jesse and wife Jane, of Southfield, N. Y., sell land there.
(Goshen Land rec, V : 246.) His will names the children below, and as he
mentions the first five (of whom the three daughters were married) before
his second wife, who receives certain property " in lieu of dower," we as-
sign the " three youngest children " . to the second marriage. His name
appears in " N. Y. in the Revolution " as entitled to a land bounty, for ser-
vice in the ist Orange co. reg't. He signed, 1775, the "Association
Pledge " in Goshen.
Children (in order named in the will), by first wife :
i. Hannah,7 b. ; m. Scofield ; called " eldest
daughter Hannah Scofield " in her father's will.
ii. Susannah, b. ; m. Davy.t
iii. Polly, b. ; m. Denton.

*24 Nov., 1789, by Goshen Land rec. (S : 241), "Jesse Marvin and wife Han-
nah," with David, Amzi, Mary, Benjamin and Anna Curtis, sell "land belonging
to the late Colman Curtis ; " from their names we infer that these parties were
probably children of the latter.
t In the citation, by Samuel C Marvin, of the heirs of Elijah' (48, vii), as
recorded, " Susannah Denton " is named, which, if correct, suggests that she may
have m. Denton as her second husband, but nothing further has been
found.

103 Stephen,* son of Nathans and Marys (Marvin) Marvin,
* born I Oct., 1771, in Goshen, Orange co., N. Y. ; died
10 Sept., 1836, in Oxford (Blooming Grove, by his will), Orange
CO., "aet. 64-1 i-io;" married 17 April, 1802 (First Pres. Ch.,
Goshen, rec.),* Mercy Duryea, born 12 Feb., 1784, in Craigville,
Orange co. ; died 20 Aug., 1846, in Oxford, "aet. 62-6-8."
Stephen and his widow were interred in Greycourt cemetery, Blooming
Grove, Orange co. His will, dated 23 Sept., 1835, and approved i Nov.,
1 836 (Goshen wills, J: 508), names wife Mercy and the children below, except
the youngest, who died young. His father gave him fifteen acres, which
he had bought of Elihu and Seth, and his brother Daniel gave him his
interest in his brother David's estate ; he was exr. of his brother Elijah's
will, who left him property.

Ann Coleman, b. 2 April, 1813, in Washingtonville
(Blooming Grove) ; d. 27 April, 1883, "aet. 70 y., 25
d." They were interred in Greycourt cemetery. Aug.
6, 1878, his son was appointed adm'r of his estate.
* The above dates are, with few exceptions, from the gravestones in Grey-
court cemetery. The family record has the date of Stephen's marriage as 22
Oct., 1801, which may be that when "published," as the Pres. Church record says
"Stephen Marvin vazrcisi. Martha Duryea 17 April, 1802." Martha and Marcia
(Marcy, or Mercy) were sometimes interchanged, and this is probably a clerical
error due to a misunderstanding of her name. If the family record as cited and
the church record are both right, there was another Stephen in Oxford of nearly
the same age whom we are unable to place. Oxford was in Cornwall township.
t On his gravestone and in the citation of the heirs of Elijah' Marvin, the ini-
tial of his middle name is C. " Cension," was probably a phonetic spelling of St.
John, a name often written on the early Norwalk rec. as " Sension.''

430 Matthew Mannn Line
Aug., 1832 (date of application for pension), and is believed to be
the "David Martin," as printed in the "Pension Rolls," 1841,
who was living in Norwalk, i June, 1840, aged 81 ; married (i),
Eunice, daughter of Samuel and Esther Hayden, of Braintree,
Mass., later of Norwalk, born 30 May, 1756 ; died 1799, in Nor-
walk ; married (2), Abigail Fitch ; David and Abigail sold land
in Norwalk, 2 1 March, 1 801 (Land rec, XIX : 317), and 29 June,
1807 {Ibid., XXI : 158) ; married (3), Mrs. Crowley ; mar-
ried (4), Mrs. Jones.
He went with his father to Wyoming, Luzerne co., Pa., and enlisted
therein 1776; he was living in Norwalk in 1778-9, and sold land as of Bloom-
ing Grove in 181 2 (Norwalk rec). He served in Capt. Stephen Hall's com-
pany, 15 Feb., 1777 to 19 Dec, 1778, and later was in Capt. Jabez Fitch's
" Independent Volunteers" from i Sept., 1782, until 20 Nov., 1782 (Ct. in
Rev., 224, 584*). He was in the batties of Germantown, Wyoming and Mud
Fort, and served again under Capt. Ozias Marvin, at the time of the burn-
ing of Norwalk, in 1779. His grandson, Homer Rockwell, of Norwalk,
writes: — " My grandfather David told me that he, Capt. Ransom, and an-
other soldier, Franklin by name, finding themselves alone after the batde of
Wyoming, started for the fort, pursued by Indians ; Capt. Ransom soon fell,
and grandfather, looking back, saw him slain. He kept on with his com-
panion, and coming to the brow of a hill, Franklin concealed himself just
over the ridge, in a clump of bushes, while he (David) ran down and plunged
into a swamp at the foot of the hill, and lying down, covered himself with
leaves. When night came on he succeeded in reaching the fort, where he
found Franklin had already arrived. 1 remember the story distinctly, hav-
ing often heard it from my grandfather's lips."

For a few years after his marriage he lived in Westport, but removed to

at their new home, they saw the light of the great fire in New York

acres on the east side of Charles creek, " down town,'' which he gradually
increased until at his death he owned " one of the fairest domains in south-

by his sons.

Church, travelling through the mountain towns of Vermont, and later was

Seventh Generation 507
daughter of Joel and Laura (Clapp) Allen, born 20 Nov., 18 18,
in South Hero, Vt. ; she was a relative of Col. Ethan Allen of
Revolutionary fame.
In a sketch of his early life he says : " I began the study of Livingston's
Grammar as an experiment, when four and a half years old, having been
previously taught at home to read, and having learned the multiplication
table ; but this precocity was of no lasting benefit." He attended the dis-
trict school, and early in life was a class-leader in the Methodist Church, and
superintendent of a Sunday School, holding other offices in that body, and
aiding in the cause of temperance. He taught in the district school, and at
the age of twenty-one entered the ministry, joining the Troy Conference.
He served on the Essex Circuit, and after his marriage was stationed at
Isle La Motte, Alburgh, North Hero, and St Albans, Vt, and other places
in the Conference. He was register of the Probate Court for Grand Isle
district, for seven years ; three years a representative and two a senator in
the Legislature ; and was assistant judge in the County Court 1 848-9 ; he
was agent of the town in prosecuting and defending suits, and county super-
intendent of common schools. In 1900 he wrote : — "I have never, directly
or indirectly, sought or desired a single vote for any of the above offices. I
have solemnized 220 marriages and conducted over 1,000 funerals ; alto-
gether I have spent a busy life, to what purpose the future alone wiU
disclose."

540 Matthew Marvin Line
His boyhood was spent in New York city, where he was educated in
private schools ; he engaged in the hat business, and for thirty-eight years
was identified with one of the largest manufacturers in New York, retiring
about two years before his death, and residing thereafter at his home, in
Stamford, Ct. In the winter of 1865-6, he united with the First Methodist
Church in Stamford, in which he was deeply interested, and became a class-
leader ; he was one of its trustees for many years, and until his death. The
" Waterside Chapel," now of this church, erected in 1 870, and dedicated
30 April, 1894, owed its beginning and success to his personal labor, and he
was, from its foundation until his death, superintendent of the Sunday
School ; after renovation, the building was re-dedicated 8 Dec, 1901, as the
" Curtis R. Marvin Memorial Chapel." " He was genial in manner, devout
in spirit, and a faithful servant of the Master."

He has been a trustee of the Westport Savings Bank, and a vestryman
of Christ Church, Westport. His home, called " The Knoll," on the corner
of State street and Sylvan avenue, Westport, has much of historical inter-
est; near it is a large elm tree, planted in 1785, by his grandfather, John
Taylor, under the shade of which is a well, famous for its pure water, from
which he gave a refreshing draft to Washington and Lafayette, as they
passed along the " King's Highway " (now State street), and close at hand
is a knoll from which Whitefield preached, and Mrs. Joseph L. Marvin lis-
tened to his words about, 1798 ; a few rods north was the school house, and
just beyond it the Barnabas Marvin homestead. We are indebted to him
for valuable aid.

223 Sylvester Stephen,^ son of Aaron S.' and Lucy M.
(Stevens) Marvin, born 18 Nov., 1841, in Ogden, Mon-
roe CO., N. Y. ; married (i), 21 Sept., 1870, Matilda, daughter
of Thomas Osborne and Matilda (Earle) Rumsey, born 7 Feb.,
546 Matthew Marvin Line
1847, in East Chester, Westchester co., N. Y. ; died 24 Jan'y,
1895 ; married (2), 27 May, 1897, Edith, daughter of William
Henry and Margaret (Rumsey) Bonnett, born 6 Sept., 1866, in
New Rochelle, Westchester co., N. Y.
When he was six years old his father settled in Lockport, N. Y., and six
years later Sylvester was apprenticed to his father's cousin, Walter K.7 (144)
Marvin, then a dealer in agricultural implements in that city. When the
latter went to New York, in 1856, to connect himself with the Marvin Safe
Company, Sylvester accompanied him, where he was sent to school and
acted as an office boy in his leisure hours, for the new firm. When the
panic of 1857 ruined so many business enterprises Walter turned his eyes
toward the West, in the hope of retrieving his damaged fortune, and with
others laid out a town on the Missouri river, opposite St. Joseph, Mo., and
the following year Sylvester was sent there. He collected tolls on a ferry-
boat, operated by Mr. Marvin and his associates, which carried thousands
of emigrants with their " prairie schooners " across the river, and when the
winter ice blocked navigation Sylvester was a clerk in a store. The town
proved a failure, and he returned to Lockport, and was a clerk in the store
of his uncle, Nathan W. Phelps (see 75, vi), during the winter of 1860-61.
The following spring he enlisted in company K, 28th New York Vols. The
regiment was engaged in many skirmishes, including the battles of Ball's
Bluff and Cedar Mountain, in the latter of which he was wounded. He
was in the hospital for several months, and was finally mustered out with
the regiment in May, 1863. He then went to Pittsburgh, Pa., to assist his
relative in a new venture — the making of aerated bread, with other baked
products, out of which grew a large and successful business, which was sold
in 1898 to the National Biscuit Company, in which he became a director.
The next year he removed to Bryn Mawr, Pa., where he resides at his home
" Merimont."
While living in Pittsburgh he was identified with the life of that city in
various ways ; he was largely instrumental in establishing an annual Expo-
sition of the Pittsburgh industries, and served many years as its president.
He was on the State Commission for the relief of the sufferers from the
Johnstown flood ; a trustee of the West Penn Hospital, the Shady Side
Academy, the Pennsylvania College for Women, the Children's Hospital,
and the Western Theological Seminary of the Presbyterian Church ; he
has also been connected with various financial and business institutions.

APPENDIX
HE corrections and additional information, received
too late to be included in the families to which they
belong, will be found below. We also add here a
few names to which we give their possible references.
Notes of this character might have been greatly ex-
tended, but only those are given for which some evidence has been
furnished in favor of the conjectural attribution, although not suffi-
cient in our opinion to justify a definite assignment.
Page 35, last line but 3 of text. Hinman (Early Puritans, 669),
says that Samuel Collins was at Saybrook 14 Oct., 1664, on which
date he gave a mortgage on a horse to his brother Nathaniel.
Page 45. Elizabeth (v), m. John Tinker; he was b. 1686.
Page 51. Mary (ix), is probably the Mary who m. 14 Dec, 1750,
Jared Everest, b. 1729 ; d. in Salisbury, Ct., leaving issue.
Page 59. Marvin Gates [4, son of Lydia (14, iv) Marvin]; see
footnote on p. 156, for further particulars.
The statement that Daniel Gates (9) m. Sarah Moore agrees
with Gates Gen., 32. The Register (LVII : 366), says a Sarah, dau.
of Asa and Sarah (Heywood) Moore, b. 28 Aug., 1748, m. a Daniel
Gates, and Gates Gen., 100, has a similar account. This Sarah
seems to have been too old to be the wife of our Daniel, and we have
been unable to learn whether Gates Gen., 32 (on which our statement
is based), is an error, or whether there were two Daniels, each of
whom m. a Sarah Moore.
Page 60. Daniel (15) was perhaps the father of "Lydiah Marvin
of Lyme," who m. 8 Oct., 1759, and probably as his second wife,
Appendix 57 S
Simon Tubbs. Children (Tubbs) : i. Lydia, b. 21 Aug., 1760: 2.
Betsey, b. 14 Sept., 1765. (Canaan rec. Falls Village.) We cannot
place this Lydiah, who from her name seems to be the child of one
of Capt. Reinold Marvin's sons, but she may have been a dau. of
Samuel (23) or of Nehemiah (29). If as one correspondent wrote,
Daniel went to Litchfield co., perhaps we should also include among
his children the Thomas below (whom we are unable to place).
This Thomas who was in Lebanon, 1755-7, was a private in Lt.-Col.
Whitney's Lebanon company, 11 April to 8 Sept., 1755, then made corporal
and served to 8 Dec, following ; Thomas " Marvel," believed to be the
same, from Lebanon, was a corporal in Capt. Porter's company. May, 1756;
enlisted again 4 Jmie, 1756, in Capt Caleb Hyde's company; and once
more, then enrolled as Thomas Marvin, in August, 1757, under Capt. Fitch,
in the Fort WiUiam Henry alarm. (See Ct. Hist Soc. Col., IX: 25, 161,
et cet) Evidently this was not Thomas (25), who was carrying on the ferry
at Simsbury, 1756. [See note to p. 70, below.]

Page 68. From Beckwith Notes 5, we take the following addi-
tions to what we have given of the children of Mary Beckwith :
i. Mary ,5 m. 29 July, 1 762, and had four chil.
ii. Samuel, b. 30 July, 1743; ™- (')i 6 Aug., 1767, Rebecca, dau. of
Handley Chipman, b. 1750; d. 1778; they had five chil.; m. (2),
26 March, 1782, Sarah, dau. of Caleb Rand, who survived him;
they had six chil.
iii. Elisha, m. Susannah, dau. of Benjamin and Ruth Reynolds ; they
had twelve chil.
iv. Martha, m. 6 Sept, 1 765 ; they had seven chil.
V. Asa, m. 20 Dec, 1744, Mary, dau. of Elkanah and Rebecca Morton;
they had nine and perhaps ten chil.
vi. David, "perhaps d. 15 Nov., 1787;" m. 7 April, 1774, Catharine,
dau. of John Newcomb ; they had four chil.
vii. Nehemiah, m. 1790. See Beckwith Notes 5, 18, for an account of

a Silas Marvin who was a paymaster in Col. Levi Collins's reg't, in
that county, in 18 17.
We find some reason to suppose that Thomas (25) may have gone
to Windsor, Ct., from Simsbury. Joseph, conjecturally placed as
his seventh son, may have been the second, as stated by Barlow (see
note p. 72), if the Joseph Marvin who enlisted from Windsor, 24 March,
I7S9) in the French war (see Stiles's Ancient Windsor, 1 : 259), and
was a sergeant in Gen. Lyman's command, and at Montreal in 1760,
was the son of Thomas. There were other Josephs who served in
576 Appendix
that war ; one was in Col. David Wooster's company,* March to May,
1756 (see Ct. Hist. Soc, IX: no); one in Capt. Noble's company,
most of whom were from Litchfield co., in Col. Marsh's reg't in
Aug., 1757 [who may possibly be Joseph (27), of the Matthew line]
{Ibid., 218), and one in Capt. Pitkin's company. Col. Pitkin's reg't,
recruited near Hartford and Farmington (Ibid., 230). Some of these
different entries may refer to the same person, but we are unable to
identify them.

Page 288, 4th line from bottom of text. As indicating that Mat-
thew' was at Newtowne or in that vicinity, before going to Hartford,
we note that at a Particular Court held in Watertown, Mass., 6 Feb.,
1639, relative to the affairs of "John Oldam," who d. before Sept.,
1636, evidence was presented that his estate was indebted to Mat-
thew £\:o(i: 08. (Manwaring's Hartford Prob. rec, 1 : 27.)
Page 298. The estate of John Olmsted, husband of Elizabeth (2),
was ;^973 : 05 : 06. Elizabeth's will is printed in Manwaring (Hart-
ford Prob. rec, 1 : 343)-
Page 302. 4 The will of Richard Bushnell, dated at Norwalk, Ct.,
I Dec, 1659, and the inventory, £i\2, : 08 : 08, taken 17 July, 1660,
by Matthew Marvin and others, show that he d. in 1659/60, not in
1658, as hitherto stated by various writers. His widow, Marie, m.
1660, not 1659, Thomas Adgate.
This will further shows that Steiner, cited as our authority with a query (see
p. 304, iii supra, where 13 should be 6, i, the footnote on that page, and p. 308)
was in error in N. E. Hist. Gen. Reg., LIII : 212, in saying that Richard and
Marie had a third son Francis, who m. Hannah Seymour, for Richard gives " to
my 4 children " one-half of his estate " allowing my 2 sones each of them £<^
more than to my 2 daughters." They may have had a son Francis, for which we
Snd no authority save Steiner, but if so, he certainly did not survive his father
and marry. Hinman is probably right in making Hannah's husband a son of
Ijeut. William Bushnell, and Steiner who says William's son Francis d. y., seems
to have confused the two. The will, which is witnessed by Alice Marvin, wife of
Matthew, shows also that Miss Caulkins (Hist, of Norwich, 213) was right in say-
ing that Richard went to Norwalk. From other sources it seems probable he was
there as early as 1656. This will, on Hartford Prob. rec, II : 146-7, is printed
by Manwaring in his Abstracts of those rec, I; 102. The latter calls Richard's
wife Marcy, and Adgate, William ; unquestionably these are errors, but whether
of the printer or in the original record we cannot say. Her name was Mary, and
his Thomas.
Page 306-7. The inventory of Ens. William Goodrich, husband
of Sarah (5) was taken 14 Nov., 1676 ; the total as given by the ap-
praisers is ;^9i5: 01 : 06, but the amount divided by order of the
Court, was £\\2o, including " ;£'ioo already paid to Mrs. Hollister,"
and exclusive of land assigned to the widow ; in the order of distribu-
tion 6 Dec, 1676 (as printed by Manwaring), the daus. are said to be
m., and Abigail (vii) is called Mrs. Thomas Fitch ; evidently the date
of her m. (given as 1680, following the Goodrich Gen.) is too late.
582 Appendix
Page 314. Samuel Smith, husband of Rachel^ (9) Marvin, was not
the son of Samuel and Elizabeth, but was related to the Long Island
Smiths, as we learn from Rev. C. W. Selleck; his father's name
has not been found. His will (Fairfield Prob. rec, 1741-8 ; 291), is
dated 8 May, 1730, and was proved 3 Dec, 1745.
His son Nehemiah^ was made executor; he names daus. Rachel, Lydia,
Ruth (the date of Ruth's death in Rockwell-Keeler Gen. is probably an
error), Hannah, and dau. Sarah's children. This confirms Selleck's assign-
ment of Hannah and Sarah (for which we have hitherto been unable to find
other authority) ; the latter dau. was probably dead. Samuel received the
property at Canoe Hill, near " Smith's Ridge." The will of Nehemiah' is
dated 26 Jan'y, 1757, and was proved 28 April, following; he names wife
Elizabeth, sons Peter,4 Matthew, Daniel, and Nehemiah " who hath long
been gone from me " (probably dead), and daus. Elizabeth, Lydia, Rebecca
and Rachel.* Matthew* owned the estate which included the " Ancient
Parade" and the home-lot of Matthew' Marvin; he bequeathed it to his
nephew, Matthews Smith, from whom it passed out of the blood, as it had
long passed from the name. (See Selleck, 436.)
Page 321. Joseph (vii), son of Lieut. Samuel (12), perhaps had
Susanna, who m. Epenetus Piatt, b. Feb., 1738, and Thankful, who
m. Nehemiah Piatt, b. July, 1741 ; these were sons of Gideon and
Mary (Buckingham) Piatt, of Norwalk. We have no authority for
this assignment, but find no other place for them.
Page 328. By Wilton Church rec. "Rebecca, wife of David De
Forest," [presumably David, 18, no other found] joined in 1747 ; this
may indicate his second m. ; if so, Abigail (18) d. between 1740 and
'46. Her dau. Abigail (iii), was probably the "Abigail (De Forest)
wife of Silas Olmstead," who joined in 1754 (ibid.) ; if so, it confirms
footnote p. 328. The same rec. (1761) calls the wife of Elihu (v)
" Elizabeth Lambert," which we believe is a clerical error.

(three months' troops), and re-enlisted for three years; he was wounded
in the first battle at Bull Run, and again at Harrison's Landing and
Gettysburg ; was corporal and orderly sergeant in his company ; he was
engaged in sixteen battles in the army of the Potomac, and discharged
in consequence of wounds 9 June, 1864; he was a justice of the peace,
town treasurer, and prominent in many ways. We are indebted to his
dau. Mabel, and to Mrs. Mary A. Hubbard, and her dau. Evalena, of
Chittenango Station, N. Y., for valuable aid in obtaining the record of

* The family record of Elizabeth, above, received after a considerable portion
of the Index was in type, has been furnished by her grandson from the cemetery
records in Sharon. It shows that the assignment of the Elizabeth who m. Wil-
liam Roberts to the family of John (41, Matthew line) — see p. 357 and footnote
on p. 72 — was an error, and it is probable that the latter may have been a dau.
of Thomas (25, Reinold line), as stated by Col. Thomas Marvin and Talcott ; but
whether this displaces Rachel (iv) from that family, — see close of note cited
above — or whether, as we believe, Thomas had more than the eight chil. named
by them, must be left for further investigation : at present we are unable to place
Rachel elsewhere. The records furnished us of the family of Thomas, as we
have stated, are very conflicting. He cannot be located with certainty after he
left Lyme, until he appears in Simsbury, unless he be, as we believe, the Thomas
of Goshen, Ct. (see notes, pp. 70, and 89 corrected on p. 577) ; after 1739 we lose
sight of him again until 1755-6 ; a part of that time, it seems probable, he was
living somewhere in Litchfield co., and later perhaps in or near Lebanon, Tolland
CO., before he settled in Simsbury, but a long and careful search in the Church
and other records of various towns in that part of the State, has failed to yield
any thing beyond what has already been given. A number of entries of Marvin
names have been found, some of which proved to be clerical errors for " Mer-
wins ; '' others, after much correspondence, we have been unable to place, in
spite of all our efforts. It may be well to mention in this connection that Lieut.
John (22, Matthew line) had a son Jedediah (46), Nathan (23) a son James, and
Joseph (27) a son John who lived in Sharon forty years or more. Two of these
at least were m. ; all res. in Litchfield co. for longer or shorter periods, and later
two of them settled in New York : of these our information is meagre. Others
of the name living near the boundary line between Connecticut and New York,
proved to be descendants of Robert of Long Island ; we found reason to believe
however that there are a number of families of the Reinold and Matthew lines in
that neighborhood, but from the lack of satisfactory evidence which would enable
us to place them, we have thought best to omit the data gathered.

Page 368. Seth (49) was a Revolutionary soldier.
It appears by the U. S. Pension rolls that he volunteered in 1775, and
was a corporal in Capt. Griffin's company, 3d N. Y. reg't. Col. Clinton ; he
enlisted again in the 2d New York Line, Continental army, under the same
officers, in Jan'y, 1776, and was a sergeant; he was discharged 15 March,
1777, at Fort Montgomery. He "had a brush now and then with the
British whale-boats, while transporting the inhabitants and cattle from the
east end of Long Island, but was in no serious engagement." His applica-
tion for a pension, dated 13 Feb., 1828, was allowed. The record at Wash-
ington differs slightly from ours in having the date of his m. 31 Dec, 1788,
Appendix 589
and that of his d. 7 July, 1836. He mentions his six living children, giving
their approximate ages — " Ebenezer, aged 28 or 29 " (he was really 33), and
so of others ; Betsey seems to have then been unm. He was living in Nor-
walk, and aged 77 ; these dates were doubtless given from memory and his
advanced age accounts for the variations from the actual dates as shown by
otlier records. His widow received a pension after his death.

Page 187. At the last moment we have a letter from a descendant
of Daniel (158, Reinold line) saying he was b. 1801 — not "about
1805 " and d. 1849, not 1855, as given on p. 187 — and that his wife
Cornelia d. in 1888, not in 1887. This Daniel, he says, had "a
grandson," "son of Daniel," named Garrit, b. ; m. (i), EUza-
beth Kautz, d. i88o; m. (2), . Children by first wife: i. Wil-
liam D., b. 7 July, 1877 : 2. George W., b. 3 Oct., 1878, in Strouds-
burg, Pa. Children by second wife : Three daughters, names not
furnished.
The date (23 Aug., 1904) on which this reaches us is too late to allow
further inquiries without delaying publication beyond the time promised.
The stateinents given on pp. 187, tSS, from a son of Daniel last named,
are correct, and Garrit was probably the son of Daniel (158), not his grand-
son. Daniel (37) probably had three sons ; we have the names of only two.

INDEX
Thb numbers against the names refer to pages. A name has but a single reference to the page on
which it appears, though it may be repeated there ; care should be taken to look for such repetition.
A star (*) against the page number calls attention to some additional information or correction noted
01 the Appendix, see pages 574 't «?•
Middle names are indicated by initials only ; for example, Mary Amelia and Mary Anna are both in-
dexed under Mary A. When given in full they show the surname, maiden or otherwise, at the time of
narriaee. When the context or other information shows that this surname is the maiden name, it is par-
eathesized • otherwise the parentheses are omitted. A surname following one in parentheses indicates a
second marriage.
When a surname is given without Christian names, two or more of that name will be found on the
pa'e indicated, and this surname does not occur elsewhere. For example, the first name below is Abbot
346 - on referring to page 346 the reader will find all of that name mentioned in the volume. A surname
foSowed by a dash shows a wife whose Christian name is unknown. The mode of spelling names, often
varying in the same family, carefully follows that given by correspondents.
