Reiyiold <strong>and</strong> <strong>Matthew</strong> <strong>Marvin</strong>. 123<br />

shows that the maker had at least five gr<strong>and</strong>children, he was<br />

<strong>of</strong> suitable age to have been the son-in-law <strong>of</strong> Rose some<br />

forty years earlier; he makes his "wife Marrion " executrix,<br />

<strong>and</strong> among his children we find John, Rose, <strong>and</strong> Joan,<br />

names <strong>of</strong> the father, mother <strong>and</strong> sister <strong>of</strong> Maryon <strong>Marvin</strong>.<br />

From these various facts, the conclusion reached seems very<br />

probable.<br />

He owned a "tenement at Hintlesham," where he died,<br />

<strong>and</strong> "leasehold l<strong>and</strong>s" in the same Parish. <strong>The</strong> tenement<br />

he had conveyed conditionally to his son Thomas about two<br />

years before his death, <strong>and</strong> the leasehold is given him in the<br />

Will. <strong>The</strong> indenture there mentioned has not been found,<br />

but it evidently secured for Maryon <strong>and</strong> her husb<strong>and</strong> a home<br />

in their old age ; the children <strong>of</strong> the oldest son, Richard, are<br />

remembered, but nothing is given him ; " the rest <strong>of</strong> his<br />

goods," after the death <strong>of</strong> his wife, are to be divided among<br />

the other children. From this it would seem that Richard,<br />

<strong>and</strong> probably his brothers, had already received their share <strong>of</strong><br />

the l<strong>and</strong>s.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Parish was a demesne <strong>of</strong> the Timperleys, <strong>and</strong> the<br />

chancel <strong>of</strong> the Church, which is dedicated to St. Nicholas,<br />

contains several ancient monuments <strong>of</strong> that family, which<br />

long held the rentals <strong>of</strong> most <strong>of</strong> the l<strong>and</strong>s in its vicinity.<br />

<strong>The</strong> population is about 600, <strong>and</strong> the living was valued at<br />

^440 with a parsonage, in 1897, when the Rev. William<br />

Deane, M. A., had long been the Rector.<br />

If the proposed assignment is correct, we have the follow-<br />

ing as the names <strong>of</strong> the children <strong>of</strong> Thomas <strong>and</strong> Maryon<br />
