122 The English Ancestry of
Before proceeding to the Sixth Generation some notes on
the daughters of John 8
(12), properly belonging in the Fourth
Generation, will be given. These are based on information
received since the account of that family was printed.*
32 Maryon 4 (John* John, 2 Robert 1
) was the daughter of
John and Rose (Smythe) Marvin, of Chattisham, Suffolk.
The date of her birth has not been ascertained, but was
about 1525, for it is evident from what has been given above
(pp. 69, 70) that the sisters were all quite young when their
father died in 1535/6. From the provisions of his Will, in
which Maryon is first named and apparently receives a larger
portion than her sisters Agnes and Johan, I conclude that she
was the eldest daughter. It is also clear from her mother's
Will that Johan was unmarried in April, 1557. Rose men-
tions her sons-in-law, Christopher Alderman, made executor,
and Thomas Glamfelde, by which we learn the names of the
husbands of the married daughters. The evidence on which
is based the belief that Maryon was the wife of Glamfelde
is found in the Will of a "Thomas Glamefeild of Hintlesham,
Suffolk, husbandman." f
This Will, of which an abstract is printed below, is dated at
Hintlesham, a Parish adjoining Washbrook and Chattisham,
4 April, 1595, and was proved 22 May of that year. As it

Parish near Belstead, proved 19 October, 1592, and recorded at Ipswich, loc. cit.
XXXIV (1592-3), fo. 168, which names wife Joan, son George executor, William,
Edmond, not of age, and daughter Joan, which is clearly not this family.
