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

The English Ancestry of
seems must have been the son of John (15) as already stated,
mentions an "Aunte Cooper" and an "Aunt Maryon Swat-
tocke ;" to the children of the latter he leaves a legacy without
naming them, and of her we know nothing further. He
also leaves a contingent bequest of ^20 to the children of
John Cooper, of Harwich, and £,\o to the children of Thomas
Cooper of the same town. It may be that the father of John
Marvin married a Cooper, and that these were her brothers
but as John leaves money to his Aunt and her son Roger,
rather than to her husband, and, later in the same Will, to
the children of John and Thomas Cooper rather than to their
fathers, it seems more probable that the relationship of the
testator was with the wives rather than with their husbands.
If this inference is correct we should add the following as
daughters belonging to this family. The order of birth is
unknown.
19 v. Maryon, 4 b. ; mar. Swattocke, and had issue
living in 1570; it is clear that this Maryon cannot be the
Maryon who was the daughter of John (12), of Chattisham,
for it is evident from his Will, as will be seen, that she had
no brothers, and that she mar. (? Christian) Alderman.
20 vi. Daughter (? Ursula), b. ; mar. Thomas Cooper, of
Ipswich, and had issue living in 1570. He may have been
the " bere bruer " mentioned in the Will of Anne Marvin
below. The names of their children have not been found ;
we note as giving a possible clue, that the St. Nicholas
(Harwich) Parish Register has the record of the baptism of
a Martha, dau. of Thomas Cooper, 17 June, 1585, and of a
7'homas, son of Thomas and Ursula, bap. 1 September,
1588 ; Ursula died a few days later and was buried 6 Sep-
;
