The Will of a " Thomas Richman," of Orford (a town some
ten miles north-east of Ipswich), dated 21 Jan'y, 29 Elizabeth, [1587]
recorded on the Calendar of Suffolk Wills, at Ipswich, Vol. 31, fo. 265,
mentions wife Joan, daus. Agnes, unm., " Sabin" and Margaret, sons-in-
law James Barber and William Bucknam, and grandchildren not named.
The Will of Margaret Rycheman, of " Fresyngfelde," widow, dated
28 March, 1560, on fo. 101 of Vol. 20 of the same Calendar, names sev-
eral children, among them Thomas of " Stradbroke " and his dau. Agnes.
These two Parishes are not very far from Ipswich.
Page 105. The " American Journal of Archaeology" for 1899, p. 102,
says: — "In restoring the Church of All Saints at Dovercourt, Harwich,
some ancient frescoes have been discovered which may, it is hoped, be
saved. This Church was given to the Abby of Colne at the time of
William the Conqueror.

is given as 1563, which, it will be seen, is ten years previous to its date.

volume in which it is recorded [24], contains only the Wills which were
made or proved in 1572 and ~"]^.

Robert Marvin, who was possibly Robert, 7 (85) son of Robert 6 (56) ; he
had a lot of land given him there "on three months' probation;' 1
as this
lot was valued at one hundred pounds, it must have been quite an extensive
one. This Robert married Mary, daughter of William Browne, who
was a merchant, and in 1648 a freeman of Southampton. In 1652 Robert
administered on the estate of his father-in-law, who died in the latter
part of 1650; he himself appears to have been living in Hempstead as late
as 1682. On page 1, Book A, of the Hempstead Records, " Robord
Marville" is mentioned, no doubt the same, as this spelling of the name
