Edward Marvin

Matthew Marvin was baptized a Great Bently, England 23 March 1659-60.

It appears the he was then 35 years of age. He is called "husband-man," and his party consisted of his wife, Elizabeth, aged 31, daughter Elizabeth, 11, son Mathew, 8, daughters Marie, 6, Sara 3 and Hanna 1/2."

Mathew settled in Hartford, CT, where he was an original proprietor in 1635. He died about 1678.

A fellow Marvin researcher recently supplied me with a copy of the will of Edward-A Marvin, the father of Matthew-1 Marvin, the immigrant ancestor. I am in the process of transcribing it (it's written in the very hard-to-decipher "secretaty hand" of the 16th Century). While I have transcribed most of it, there are some problem words I am still working on. But I wanted to post what I had as soon as possible to allow others to have the information. I have retained the original spelling and punctuation; brackets indicate a word which is presently illegible to me. The will itself is filed in the Essex (England) Record Office ref: D/AC/W11-313.

Eden Farmhouse was built in 1593 by John Marvin just East of Great Bentley, and then called Edon or Dreybrockes. It was occupied by Edward Marvin and passed to his son Matthew. The front was remodeled in 1717 and seems to have been remodeled again in modern times. The interior beams may have been ship timbers. The large chimney is obscured in this view (see Profile photo).

The surname of MARVIN was a baptismal name 'the son of Marvin or Mervin' an ancient, although now forgotten personal name. During the Middle Ages, when people were unable to read or write, signs were needed for all visual identification. For several centuries city streets in Britain were filled with signs of all kinds, public houses, tradesmen and even private householders found them necessary. This was an age when there were no numbered houses, and an address was a descriptive phrase that made use of a convenient landmark. At this time, coats of arms came into being, for the practical reason that men went into battle heavily armed and were difficult to recognise. It became the custom for them to adorn their helmets with distinctive crests, and to paint their shields with animals and the like. Coats of arms accompanied the development of surnames, becoming hereditary in the same way. Early records of the name mention Mervin (without surname) rector of Chester-le-Street in the year 1085. Johannes Myrfin of Yorkshire, was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. Since the dawn of civilisation the need to communicate has been a prime drive of all higher mankind. The more organised the social structure became, the more urgent the need to name places, objects and situations essential to the survival and existence of the social unit. From this common stem arose the requirements to identify families, tribes and individual members evolving into a pattern in evidence today. In the formation of this history, common usage of customs, trades, locations, patronymic and generic terms were often adopted as surnames. The demands of bureaucracy formally introduced by feudal lords in the 11th century, to define the boundaries and families within their fiefdoms, crystallized the need for personal identification and accountability, and surnames became in general use from this time onwards. Later instances of the name mention Danyell Ashpoole and Agnes Morfyn who were married at St. James's, Clerkenwell, London in the year 1564. Mervin Perry was the vicar of Dyram, County Gloucester in the year 1699. The name is also spelt as MURFIN, MERVIN, MEVIN and MIRFIN

8. EDWARD MERVYN, MARVEN or MARVIN (L9C6-MZJ) (Raynold, John, Thomas), of Ramsey, Wrabness and Great Bentley, co. Essex, yeoman, was under 21 when his father made his will, 22 December 1554. In that will, Edward received a tenement and lands, both free and copyhold, in the parish of Wrabness. These lands, together with an adjoining parcel of land in the parish of Wix, Edward bequeathed in 1615 to his eldest son, Edward, Jr (DH9V-RL4).

Edward Marvin (L9C6-MZJ) was a man of considerable wealth, for he held property not only in the parishes of Wrabness and Wix, but also in Ramsey, Frating and Great Bentley, and he resided in Great Bentley during the latter part of his life, in a mansion house called “Edons alias Dreybroeks.”

There is an account of Edward and his family in the English Ancestry, pp. 77 and 105-115, and in Descendants, pp. 20 and 22-26.

Edward died at Great Bentley on 13 or 14 November 1615.

His will was dated the 13th, and he was buried at St. Mary’s Church, Great Bentley, 15 November 1615. His will was proved 17 January 1615/6.

He married MARGARET (284H-2MM), Who may, or may not, have been the mother of all his children. She survived him, and was buried at Great Bentley 28 May 1633.

Children (order uncertain):
i. EDWARD (DH9V-RL4), b. perhaps in 1581, or earlier. He inherited the ancestral property in Wrabness, and also property in Wix. He also acquired lands and houses in Great Bentley and Thorington.

There is an account of him and his family in Descendants, pp. 26-27, and in the English Ancestry, pp. 110 and 137-145. He resided chiefly at Thorington, and was buried in the Churchyard of St. Mary Magdalene there. The date of his death is not known.

His will was dated 30 Dec., but no year was written, though 1622 may have been intended. In this will, he bequeathed to his wife “Bettres,” (K89N-LTP) his daughter Susan (KCFW-TWL) and son Edward (MZTJ-K52) (minors); and he mentioned his brothers Thomas (LD7M-12R), Richard (LVY6-725), Robert (LVY6-WQK), Reinold (KD9Y-H6H) and Matthew (L222-HLX). The will was proved 1 March 1622/3.

Edward m. at Great Bentley, 12 Aug. 1604, Bettris [Beatrice] SADLER (K89N-LTP), who survived him, and was sole executrix of his will.
Children:
1. Susan (KCFW-TWL), bap. at Great Bentley 14 July 1605.
2. Edward (MZTJ-K52), probably b. at Thorington, perhaps ca. 1607.
ii. THOMAS (LD7M-12R), b. perhaps in 1583. He was supervisor of his father ’s will in 1615, and in this will received a tenement and lands in Ramsey; and he was also supervisor of his brother Edward ’s will in 1622/3. He is mentioned in the English Ancestry, pp. 110 and 145-146, and in Descendants, p. 25, and it is there suggested that Thomas may have been the Thomas Marvyn who settled at Newbury, Mass., and received a. grant of land there 27 April 1648, and died at Newbury 28 Nov. 1651. But there is no proof of this identification.

iii. RICHARD (LVY6-725), b. perhaps in 1585. He received from his father a tenement called Moye House, and lands in Great Bentley, some of which he sold to his brother Edward. There is an account of him in the English Ancestry, pp. 110 and 147, and in Descendants, pp. 25, 27, 28. He was an overseer of the parish of Great Bentley in 1616 and 1624. The date of his death is not known. He m. at Great Bentley, 1 Nov. 1610, SUSAN LoucK [Loosk ?] (9SPC-YSX).
Children:
1. Richard (KHXS-DK3), bap. at Great Bentley 1 Nov. 1613.
2. John (K817-PVP), bap. at Great Bentley 22 Aug. 1616; d. there 27 Oct. 1618.
3. Child (), living in 1622, mentioned in the will of its uncle Edward (DH9V-RL4).
4. Child (), living in 1622, mentioned in the will of its uncle Edward (DH9V-RL4).

iv. ROBERT (LVY6-WQK), b. perhaps in 1587. He received from his father lands in the parish of Frating, co. Essex, but he evidently lived at Great Bentley. He is mentioned in the English Ancestry, pp. 111 and 147-148, and in Descendants, pp. 25 and 28. He in. at Great Bentley 7 Nov. 1616, Susan Gore (27SR-V75).
Child:
1. Robert (9Q7D-MY2), bap. at Great Bentley 14 Jan. 1618/9. It is suggested in the English Ancestry, pp. 148 and 168171, that this Robert Marvin (9Q7D-MY2) may have settled at Southampton, L. I., in May 1649, and founded the Marvin family of that place. There is, however, no proof of connection.

v. MARGARET (L222-HLX), b. perhaps in 1589; bur. at Great Bentley 28 Jan. 1595/6.

vi. MARY (MPX3-LVX), b. perhaps in 1591; m. (1) at Great Bentley 19 April 1610 JOHN HAYSE (LK7N-PZM), of Great Bentley, who was executor of the will of his father-in-law, Edward Marvin (L9C6-MZJ), in 1615, and overseer of the parish of Great Bentley in 1616. John Hayse [Hays, Hayes] was buried at Great Bentley 5 Oct. 1616. Mary (Marvin) Hayse m. (2) at Great Bentley 8 Dec. 1618 RICHARD WOOD (9SPC-Y41).
Child by first marriage (surname Hayse):
1. Mary (LZ8Y-GYK), bap. at Great Bentley 22 March 1610/1.

vii. JOHN (LVY6-4GQ), bap. at Great Bentley 7 June 1593; bur. there 8 June 1593

viii. REINOLD (LLWT-JFQ), bap. at Great Bentley 7 June 1593; bur. there 8 June 1593.

ix. REINOLD, RENOLD, RENALD, RENALL, (KD9Y-H6H) etc., bap. at Great Bentley 25 Oct. 1594. He - received from his father lands called Moysses, in the parish of Great Oakley, but he lived in Great Bentley, and was overseer of the latter parish in 1625 and 1637, and churchwarden in 1627, 1633 and 1634. He was taxed for ship-money at Great Bentley in 1636. He migrated to New England late in 1637 or early in 1638, and was in Hartford, Conn., with his younger brother Matthew (L222-HLX), in 1638. He seems to have removed to Farmington in 1639-40, and afterwards to Saybrook, where he was made a freeman 20 May 1658. Still later, he removed to that part of Saybrook which later became Lyme, Conn., and there he d. in the summer of 1662. He m. in 1617 or 1618 MARY (L5Z6-KX9), who (1. in that part of Saybrook which later became Lyme in the summer of 1661. Her death was attributed to witchcraft on the part of Nicholas Jennings () of Saybrook and his wife Margaret. Reinold and Mary Marvin had nine children. There is a. detailed account of this family in Descendants, pp. 26 and 29-35.

x. ELIZABETH (LVY6-ZDX), b. perhaps in 1597; m. at Great Bentley 22. May 1618 ROBERT EDWARDS (LZ28-DVP).

xi. MATTHEW (9WFC-R9G), bap. at Great Bentley 26 March 1600. He received from his father the mansion house called “Edons alias Dreybrockes,” which had been Edward Marvin’s dwelling-house. He was a “sydeman” of the parish of Great Bentley in 1621, overseer in 1627, and senior warden in 1628. He was still in Great Bentley in Aug. 1633. He and his family sailed for New England on the Increase from London in April 1635, and they apparently landed early in June. Matthew Marvin seems to have been among the very earliest settlers of Hartford, Conn., who arrived there in November 1635. He owned land at Farmington, and may have lived there a short time. He was at Norwalk in 1651, and there he presumably died. His will was dated 26 Dec. 1678, and the inventory of his estate was taken 13 July 1680, so he died between those dates. He m. (1) by 1622 ELIZABETH-— (LZL1-H28), b. ca. 1604; d. ca. 1642. He m. (2) ca. 1647 ALICE ( ) BOUTON (LKH9-WBH), widow of John Bouton (9KZ5-CRD). She was b. ca. 1610, and d. between 17 Dec. 1680 and 9 Jan. 1680/1.

Matthew Marvin had at least seven children by his first marriage, and two by his second.

Accounts of this family are in Descendants, pp. 287-298, and Donald Lines Jacobus, Families of Old Fairfield, vol. 1, pp. 402-403.

The best biography of Matthew Marvin is in Mary Walton Ferris, Dawes—Gates Ancestral Lines, vol. 2 (Gates and Allied Families) (Chicago, 1931), pp. 575-578.
