no The English Ancestry of previous to his removal to Great Bentley, does not appear ; the births of his older children are not recorded in the latter Parish ; no Marvins appear on the records of St. Mary's, Wix,* and the Registers of Ramsey and of Wrabness (the nearest Church to his home), are not old enough to help us. If he came from Ramsey, where we have seen he had an estate, he may have left there during the troubles which arose on account of the character of the Vicar, John White, who died 1591.! We find him at Great Bentley 7 June, 1593, on which date the Parish Register records the baptism of two of his sons. He married Margaret , who survived him. He died in Great Bentley, and was buried in St. Mary's Church-yard in that Parish. His Will is dated 13 November, 161 5; it was proved 17 January following. The date of the death of his widow has not been learned. Their children were cer- tainly seven in number ; the dates of birth of the elder are unknown, but the names are arranged below as mentioned in the Will. 53 i. Edward, from his name and also as first mentioned by his father, thought to be the eldest son, b. in 1581 or earlier mar. 12 Aug. 1603, Betteris [Beatrice] , who survived him. 54 ii. Thomas, b. about 1583; he was made supervisor of his father's Will. 55 iii. Richard, b. about 1585 ; mar. at Great Bentley, 1 Nov., 1610, Suzin Loosk (Parish Register). * These date from 1560. t See p. 17, supra. ;

Rcii/o/d and MattJiciv Marvin 1 1 56 iv. Robert, b. about 1587; mar. at Great Bentley, 8 Nov., 16 1 6, Susan Core [? Cory]. (The surnames of the wives of Richard and Robert are somewhat illegible On the Register.) 57 v. John, bap. 7 June, 1593, at Great Bentley. 58 vi. Reinold, bap. 7 June, 1593, at Great Bentley; as the two brothers were baptized on the same day (St. Mary's Parish Register), they may have been twins, but this is not indicated on the record, which it was usual to do in such cases. John is not mentioned in his father's Will, and it is inferred that he died in childhood. Reinold mar. about 1617 (probably in a neighboring Parish), Mary ; she d. in Lyme, Ct., in 1661, and he d. there in the summer of 1662. 59 vii. Elizabeth, b. ; mar. John Hayes. She may have been one of the older children, for her husband is made executor of her father's Will, and neither her birth nor mar- riage is found on the Great Bentley Record ; the reason for placing her between Reinold and Matthew is simply the in- terval of seven years between the baptisms of those brothers. 60 viii. Matthew, bap. at Great Bentley, 26 March, 1 599/1 600 ; mar. (1) about 1623, but no record is found on St. Mary's Reg- ister, Elizabeth , who died in Hartford, Ct, certainly before 1647, and probably in '> 1645 ( 2 ) Mrs. Alice, widow of John Bouton, Sr., of Hartford ; her Will is dated r Dec, 1680, and the Inventory, "Last of January, 1 680/1." Mat- thew's Will is dated 20 Dec, 1678 ; he died in Norwalk, Ct., soon after, but the exact date is unknown. Following the notes on the Family, printed by my Father, the late T. R. Marvin, in 1846, based in part on the opinion of his correspondent, the late Rev. Sylvester Judd, of North- ampton, Mass., I included another daughter, Hannah, in this family, in the Marvin monograph, printed in " Family Histories and Genealogies," by Mr. and Mrs. Edward E. 1
