George's, Hempstead ; this Register is printed in the N. Y. Gen. and
Biog. Record, Vols. IX to XIII, from which these dates — that of his mar-
riage, those of his children below, and others given here — are taken;
(5) Phebe, bap. 16 May, 1736, mar. 4 Oct., 1757, Isaac Smith.
The Will of Robert, 9 dated 17 Dec, 1767, and proved 15 June, 1775, is
printed at p. 264 of "Calendar of Wills," published by the Society of
Colonial Dames, New York ; it mentions also daughters (6) Sarah, d.
1790; (7) Mary, who is said in "Long Island Genealogies," p. 278, to
have mar. John Rowland, and had Lorado and Marvin Rowland ; she d.
in 1776, a strong Loyalist as is shown by her Will ; (8) Hannah, mar,
5 Feb., 1 740/ 1, Jonathan Rowland, b. in 1704 and d. in 1802; they had
six children ; he was one of the executors of the Will of his father-in-law
(9) Ruth, mar. 2 May, 1745, Samuel Rowland, and d. in 1770, before her
father ; she had two sons. The order and dates of birth of the last four
daughters are not known, but if the dates of Jonathan are correctly given,
Hannah must have been the eldest child, and Ruth older than Robert to
have been married as stated. " Long Island Genealogies," as cited, has
some further particulars of the Marvin-Rowland children. Jonathan, Sam-
uel and John were sons of Jonathan and Martha (Seaman) Rowland.
John, 1 " third son of Robert and grandson of John, mar. 8 Aug., 1755,
Mary, dau. of John and Susannah Smith, of Herrick's, Hempstead. Her
father's Will (see page 65 of " Smith Wills of New York and Long Island, 1
')
is dated 27 June, 1761 ; it gives Mary ,£176, and also ,£24 to buy a silver
tankard ; it makes his sons and Isaac executors ; Isaac was, we can hardly
1
doubt, the husband of Phebe Marvin, sister of John " and either the son
of " Micha" (see p. 29 Smith Wills), or his nephew, a son of Isaac, Micah's
brother (ibid., p. 44). If the son of Micah and Phebe, he was b. 16
Mar., 1734/5-
The children of John and Mary (Smith) Marvin were (1) Jacob, 11 who,
with his mother, was bap. 12 March, 1756, in St. George's Church; he
was, I judge, the Jacob who, by St. George's (Hempstead) Register, mar.
26 Nov., 1780, Mary Peters; " N. Y. Marriages," p. 258, gives the date
as 23 of previous June, which was probably that of the license ; (2)
Sarah, bap. 19 June, 1757 ; she is, I think, the Sarah whose marriage
(license?) with Oliver Willis is given in " N. Y. Marriages," ut sup., ij
June, 1779; (3) Susannah, b. about 1758, but her bap. does not appear
;
