146 The English Ancestry of gift in his Will, or perhaps more probably in Wrabness, where his father also owned a house, the location of which we have endeavored to identify above, — it is impossible to say with our present knowledge ; but it must have been in one of these, since his birth is not recorded either at Wix or Great Bentley.* The fact that he is the second child named in his father's Will, and that he is made " Superviser " both by his father and his brother Edward, seems to indicate that Thomas was one of the older sons ; we have therefore assigned the year 1583 as the conjectural date of his birth. As Rob- ert, the fourth brother named, was married in 1610, the date cannot be far astray, if the conclusions above are justified. He was living in 1622 (when Edward died), but nothing is known of his family or his home. There was a Thomas Marvyn in Newbury, Mass., who re- ceived a grant of land in that town 27 April, 1648. " At a meeting of the Town of Newbury There was granted to Thomas Marvyn two akers of land lying near the new pond on the back side of Mr. Nicholas Noyes his house lott, at the new towne, for encouragement to kill wolves, and that he shall endeavour to his utmost to catch them."f He is prob- ably the Thomas Marvyn who died in that town 28 Novem- ber, 165 i.J He was therefore contemporary with Reinold and Matthew, and may have been their brother. * As mentioned on p. no, the Wrabness and Ramsey Registers are not old enough to help us. t Coffin's History of Newbury, p. 49.
