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

86 The English Ancestry of
Marvin of that town. All the knowledge we have of him is
gained from the Wills, already printed, from which we learn
that he married Elizabeth , and also the names of two
of his children, but whether there were others does not
appear. He was given a life-interest in his father's house
and garden, with the furniture which it contained, and other
property described with much particularity in his mother's
Will (pp. 59-63, supra) ; this house was to pass to his eldest
son at his death. Very probably he or his son is the Thomas
Marvin recorded on the Parish Register of St. Nicholas, Har-
wich, as buried there 8 October, 1577. His children, named
in their grandmother's Will, were
46 i. Thomas, 5 b. ? about 1554.
47
ii. Anne, b. ? about 1556.
The earliest dates of baptisms in this Parish which I have
are of 1559; these children (if of Harwich) must have been
born before that time, as their names do not appear on the
Registers, nor have I found any of later date recorded. No
further information of the descendants of this family has
been obtained, and Thomas (46) appears to have removed
from Harwich, or died without male issue.
A Jonc Marvyn who was married in that Church, 16
March, 1599, to Henry Feminge, may have been a daugh-
ter of Thomas (46), but as no entry of her birth has been
found there, it is equally possible she was of one of the
Ramsey or Suffolk families, and it is therefore useless to
attempt to assign her.
