38 The English Ancestry of preceding century, but this bequest was about equivalent to twelve times the corresponding amount in our day, or not far from $400. A pleasant bit of sentiment shines out in the legacy to the daughter bearing her mother's name, who was to have "her mother's gyrdell." This, in the olden time, was the wedding-gift of a newly married wife to her husband ; evidently he had treasured it carefully. 7 THIRD GENERATION. 8 son, name unknown, but possibly John ( ?John? Roger 1 ), born about 1480. The "Widow Marvin," mention- ed in " Exchequer Lay Subsidy, Essex 108/237, 32 Henry VIII," as taxed in Ramsey in 1540 "on her movables xv^.," may have been his relict. His children were certainly four, and possibly six or seven ; three of them lived in Ramsey, and their names are learned from the Wills of two of the sons, printed below. While only one of these mentions a sister, a later Will seems to show there were other daugh- ters. The dates of birth are unknown, but some of them may be learned approximately from the same sources. In the following list of the children of (?) John, we first give those certainly known to be brothers, and their sister, and next those thought to be sisters from the allusions in the Will of John 5 Marvin, who died in 1571, with the reasons for the conclusions reached. 15 i. John 4 believed to be the eldest son; and b. possibly about 1510. He married and had issue, as appears by the Will of his brother Thomas, who does not mention their
Reinold and Matthew Marvin 39 names ; but some of these, as will be seen below, may be learned from the Will of John 5 who we suppose was one of them. — 16 ii. Rynalde, of Ramsey, as he signed his name, b. about 17 1514; mar. Johan , who survived him. He died in 1554 or 1555, leaving issue. This Rynalde or Reynold, was the ancestor of the New England Marvins. iii. Thomas, of Ramsey, b. about 1518; mar. as her second husband, Mrs. Barbara Brett; his Will, dated 14 October, 1561, has no date of probate. 18 iv. Christian (dau.), b. about 152 1 ; mar. Thomas Herde, of Ramsey, and as appears by the Will of her brother Thomas, made in 1561, she had then recently died, leaving issue, for that refers to the " chyldren y e which " Herde " latly had by his lat wyf Christian Marven : " but it does not show how many there were, or their names. Thomas Herde was made executor of the Will of his wife's brother Thomas, and wit- nessed that of Robert (8) and John, 5 1571. The Herdes were a leading family in Ramsey, and Ramsey Hall, first mentioned in 1599, says Morant, belonged to a John Herde in that year. Others of the name are found in Harwich, and a John Herd,* of "Ockley" Parva, witnessed the Will of John Marvin of that Parish in 1584-5, and may have been a son of Christian and Thomas. Christian is the only daughter of whom we have certain knowledge, but the Will of John Marvin, 1571, who it * The Harwich Register has the marriage of John Hearde, of Oakley Parva, bach- elor, and Dorothy Harvey, spinster, 4 May, 1614; " this John died soon after, leaving a son John, who was buried at Harwich, 18 June, 1618, previous to which his mother Dorothy had married as her second husband " Hugh Brandham, surgeon." " Cath- eren Herde " who married Robert Kynge, at Harwich, 23 August, 1577, and possibly the William Herde, to whom reference is made in the Will of John Marvin, 1571, may have been relatives, but this has not been established.
