82 The English Ancestry of engaged in farming and sheep-raising ; and from a very early period the County of Essex was noted for its wool and woollen manufactures. Little Oakley is a seaboard Parish, south of Ramsey ; I find only one Manor mentioned there, " Little Oakley Hall," which belonged to the Darcys in the time of Edward VI, and later. It stands not far from the eastern end of the the Parish Church, which is dedicated to St. Mary. This was under the care of the Rev. Solomon W. S. Allen, Rec- tor, in 1895 ; the living is given in the Clergy List for that year as ^400 and a parsonage, and the population about 300. The building is quite old, the nave " of one pace with the chancel," and all tiled ; in Morant's time there were four bells in the tower ; it is built of stone. Wrabness station is less than three miles away. His Will is dated 14 October, 1561, but the date of pro- bate does not appear. His widow was to have a life-interest in the entire estate unless she should marry again, in which case half the estate is to go at once to his son (who ulti- mately is to have all the lands), while she is to take the profits of the remainder during her life. She is made ex- ecutrix, with her brother-in-law, Thomas Herde (husband of Christian Marvin), as co-executor. Thomas and Barbara had only one child, so far as known, who, as his father provides that he shall be sent " continually to scoole and learnynge by all the space of x yeares," was evidently a boy of tender age when his father died. This was 45 i. Matthew, 6 b. ? about 1555.
Reinold and Matthew Marvin 83 The Will provides that in case of the death of this son (Matthew) "without heyres of his body lawfully begotten," the property is to be equally divided between the children of John and Reinold and their sister Christian Herde;* if the John Marvin of Little Oakley (41), be the son of Reinold, as is inferred from his Will, it may be that Matthew died s. p., and Reinold's son took that portion of his uncle's estate. WILL OF THOMAS MERVYN.f 2Tn tljc name of pi amen the xiiij day of October A° 1561 I Thomas mervyn of Ramsey &c [sic] do make & ordeyne my testament & last wyll &c fTyrst I bequeth my soul to almyghty god &c Item I give to Mathev my sonn xl £iot Currant money of england to be delivered vnto hym at his age of xxj yeares Item I giv to Jone brett v £i oi Currant money of england Item I giv to Margaret brett v £i of currant money of england Item I giv to mary brett v £i of currant money of england Item I give to Richard my servant a shep & a lamb Item I giv to Thomas Cheslow my servant a shep & a lamb Item I giv to thomas smyth my servant a shep & a lamb to be delivered to every of them at the Nyxt Clyppynge tyme after my decease Item I giv to everye of my godchyldren beinge now alyv x\)d a pece * The " Aunts " referred to by John (36), who it was suggested page 40 supra might be sisters of Thomas, are not mentioned in this Will, but neither is Christian, undoubt- edly his sister, mentioned by Reinold. While the relationship of Maryon, etc., has not been established, as previously stated, the omission of their names does not disprove it, and the provision for Christian's children by Thomas may be due to her recent death, or to the fact that her husband is appointed executor. f Archdeaconry of Colchester, Registered Wills (Somerset House), Roberts, fo. 177.
