The English ancestry of Reinold and Matthew Marvin of Hartford, Ct ...

Reinold and MattJiczv Marvin 119
The name of the tenant is John Sallowes in both places
in the copy ; in the first instance in the Will it may be
"fallowes." Whether John Herd was one of the Ramsey
family of that name, one of whom married Rcinold's sister
Christian [see 18, p. 39], has not been learned.

? Robert? John*
Robert, 1
) who was incidentally alluded to on page 67, must
here be mentioned. There is nothing to show that any re-
lationship existed between him and Robert (11) of Great Bel-
stead, or his brother John, aside from the fact that one of the
family name is found with his children living in that little
village contemporaneously with descendants of John. 2
It was
interesting to discover, when the search of the Washbrook
Register from 1559 to 1600 was made, that there are several
families of Marvins still residing in Copdocke * (the adjoin-
ing Parish), but as the Registers of Chattisham and Belstead
contain no Marvins, and those of Copdocke begin with 1701,
nothing can now be learned to show what connection, if
any, there was between these, or Thomas, and those already
mentioned, who resided in that immediate vicinity.
All that can be said is, that as Robert was born in 1489 or
earlier, and this Thomas died in 1597, the latter might have
been the son, but more probably I think the grandson, of
Robert, and, if so, was of the fifth generation. Apparently
also, as will be seen, he had a grandson Robert.
He married Marian , who survived him and was the
executrix of his Will, which was dated 7 August, 1597, and
* Letter from Miss Walford.
