The reference to the " twoe acres of wood lyenge in Stur-
wood " may indicate that his brother Robert (who was ap-
parently given that property by his father) died young ;
as in
case of Robert's death before he became of age, this was to
pass to John.*
53 Edward, 6 {Edward? Reinold? John? John, 2 Roger, 1
) who
calls himself " of Thorington " in his Will, was the son of
Edward and Margaret Marvin, of Ramsey ;
he is believed,
from his name and as first mentioned in his father's Will, to
have been the eldest. His father and grandfather were of
Ramsey, and Edward was probably born in that Parish about
1 581, possibly a little earlier. The family removed to Great
Bentley about 1593, and there he married, 12 August, 1603,
" Bettris " [Beatrice], whose surname on the Register of St.
Mary's is illegible. She survived him, but the date of her
death I have not learned.
From his father, Edward inherited an estate in Wrabness
and Wix. That portion lying in Wix was held of the Manor
