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

Rcinold and Mattheiv Marvin 55
Squyer was " Clerk " of All Saints, Dovercourt, and doubt-
less also in charge of its Chapel at Harwich. " Sir Robert "
was therefore very likely the "cleric" when the vestments,
etc., were replaced, as mentioned above. Christian James
was Vicar of the two Parishes from 23 June, 1558, when
Philip and Mary presented Dovercourt " with a rectory, with
the Chapel of Harwich annexed," and he was in charge when
Thomas's widow, Anne, died. In 1895 the Vicar was the
Rev. Henry Louis Norden, and the patron J. E. A. Gwynne,
Esq. ; the value of the living is given as jQiyo, with a par-
sonage, and the population of the Parish, 5475 ; it is in the
Diocese of St. Alban's.
From the Wills of Thomas and Anne we obtain the names
of their children. Thomas mentions only his daughter Ellen,
who was unmarried when her father died, but his wife names
the others given below, all of them living in 1558. The
order of birth has not been found, nor the Christian names
of any of the daughters except Ellen. As one daughter had
six children living when her mother died, she is presumed
to have been the eldest child.
25 i. Daughter (? Elizabeth), 4 b. about 1520, or earlier; mar.
Roger Hawkyn, or Hawkins ; their children, given in the
order they are named in their grandmother's Will were :
(1) John 5
; (2) Roger; (3) Henry ; (4) Thomas; (5) Rossc
[Rose] ; (6) Elizabeth. This is all we know with cer-
tainty ; whether the following facts relate to this family has
not been shown, and they are given merely as having a pos-
sible bearing: — The Exchequer Lay Subsidy, 108/237,
