FOREWORD EVERAL years ago Mr. William S. Appleton, of Boston, while in London, found in the Will of John Lucas a reference to Reynold Marvine, of Ramsey, Essex, which attracted his attention, for he was aware of my descent from the early settler at Hartford and Lyme, Conn., who bore that name, and of my interest in the family history. On his return, he very kindly informed me of his discovery, and a brief reference was made to it in an account of the Marvin Family, which was prepared from material gathered by my father and myself, and printed in the sumptuous " Family Histories and Gen- ealogies," published by Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. Salisbury, of New Haven, Conn. It was impossible to delay the publication of that work — then far advanced — to follow out an uncertain clue. Letters were written however to correspondents in England, in the hope of tracing the ancestral line to its English home ; but as the Ramsey Parish Registers previous to the emigration were destroyed, further search seemed hopeless, and was finally discontinued. In the summer of 1897, with the aid of Mrs. Salisbury, of New Haven, Conn., the late Gen. Selden Marvin, of Albany, N. Y., his brother Richard P.
