Moved to Norwalk, CT in 1650 where he was among the first settlers. Was Deputy to the General Court in 1653 (or 1654). -------------- Torrey, p 493:

They sailed from London between the 13th and the 18th of April 1635 on the Increase, Mr. Robert Lea, master bound to New England. Mathew Marvin, husbandman 35, his wife Elizabeth 31, Mathew Marvynn 8, Marie Marvynn 6,Sara Marvynn 3, Hanna Marvynn 6 months. They arrived in June of 1635 at either Boston or Salem, Massachusetts. Matthew was an early member of the 1st Church of Hartford, Connecticut where his name is on the Founders Monument.

(ref: Marvin Gen, pg 287-298; Gen of CT Fam, Vol 2, pg 489, 503-504, 508-512; Torrey, pg 493; Coldham (1), pg 136; Old Fairfield, Vol 1, pg 402-403; Barbour, pg 387-388; Savage Vol III, pg 164-165; Pope's Pioneers, pg 303-304; LDS Ancestral Files, 1993).

p 788 WEBB, Richard (-1665) & 2/wf Elizabeth (GREGORY)/BUCHARD?/GRANT (-1680); b 1635; Cambridge, etc.

I am not sure how one can conclude any more from the above than that Elizabeth's surname MAY have been GREGORY.

BTW taking a quick look at the NEHGR CDs there are a lot of ref's to Mathew MARVIN but on the first CD there is an article "Genealogical Sketch of the DESCENDANTS of REINOLD AND MATHEW MARVIN, WHO CAME TO NEW ENGLAND in 1635." [Compiled from authentic sources by TR Marvin, Boston] The article is in Volume 16 p 235-254 (July 1862). It mentions Matthew's first wife had the Christian name of Elizabeth and that his second wife was Alice KELLOG. His first wife is listed as having come with him from England in 1635.

2. JOHN MERVYN (M5JY-R6S) (Thomas), of Ramsey, co. Essex, yeoman the testator of 1533, may have
been born about 1480. He was of age in 1503, and was co-executor of his father's will. He died at Ramsey
between 16 September 1533 (the date of his will) and 17 December 1533 (the date of probate), and was buried
in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel at Ramsey. He is identical with the man whose name Mr. W. T. R.
Marvin did not know (though he suspected it might be John), who is No. 7 in the English Ancestry, and appears
on pp. 31 and 38-41 in that work. Mr. Marvin, however, believed him to be a son of John (M14P-R9X), and
ANCESTRY OF REINOLD AND MATTHEW MARVIN 5
grandson of Roger Mervyn (KNDQ-HCV) of Ipswich; and it has been shown that that belief is erroneous. John
Mervyn Was a man of very considerable wealth. In his will, he disposed of lands and tenements in the parishes
of Ramsey, Great Oakley [Myche or Much Ockley] and Little Oakley., The names of some of his lands were
Janecoxe, Waxe, Bennettes, Rolfes, Nether lands, Gesses, Brandons, and Milkes. He also had interests in the
town of Harwich, which he left to his brother Thomas, a resident of that town. John Mervyn married
MARGARET (L5GX-1NN) -?? , who survived him, and was co-executrix of his will. From the terms of the
will, it is obvious that she was the. mother of all his children. She was undoubtedly the "Widow Marvin"
(L5GX-1NN) who was taxed 153.on her movables at Ramsey in the Lay Subsidy of 1540 (English Ancestry, p.
38). The date of her death is not known.
Children (order uncertain):
5. i. JOHN (9HGG-SBS), "my eldest son," co-executor of his father 's will, of age in 1533, b. (say) 1510.
6. ii. RAYNOLD, REINOLD or RYNALDE (9HW4-1JW), under 21 in 1533, b. (say) 1513.

iv RICHARD (LD79-MML), under 21 in 1533.
v. JOHN the younger (K2JK-9YR), under 21 in 1533.
vi MARGARET (K489-9KR) unmarried in 1533, apparently later m. JOHN COOPER (LT54-C3M),
of Harwich (see English Ancestry, pp. 41, 56, 166, 167). He was buried at St. Nicholas 's Church,
Harwich, 29 July 1580. She was bur. there 20 Dec. 1587, leaving a. will, dated 8 Dec. 1587, which was
proved 24 Jan. 1587/8.
