Reinhold Marvin Stone

Reinhold Mervyn, http://www.gdcooke.org/SS/default.aspx/page/org2-o/p3813.htm Reinold's name can also be found with the spellings of Raynold or Rynalde Mervyn or Marven. He was a yeoman, and under 21 when his father made his will in 1533. He may have been born about 1513. He lived in Ramsey, and was taxed 20s. on movables in the Lay Subsidy of 1540. He had received from his father a tenement called Bennettes in Ramsey (which he in turn bequeathed to his son Richard), and he seems to have acquired other lands, both in Ramsey and in the adjoining parish of Wrabness. He left a will dated 22 Dec 1554, but it bears no date of probate. He certainly died before 14 October 1561, when he was called "late deceased" in the will of his brother Thomas.

"The English Ancestry of Reinold & Matthew Marvin" by William T. R. Marvin
Roger Mervyn of St. Stephen's Parish, Ipswich, in the County of Suffolk was born certainly as early as 1430, since he left a son who was old enough to be his executor when he died in 1475. His wife was Matilda____________.

John Mervyn, son of Roger, was apparently living in Ipswich when his father died. As he as made executor of his father's will in 1475, we place his birth about 1453. The date of his death is unknown.

John Mervy, son of John, was born about 1480

Reynolde, or Reynold, Mervyn, son of John was born about 1514. He married Johan__________, who survived him. He died in 1554-55.

Edward Marvin, son of Reynold, was born about 1552 in Ramsey, England and married Margaret_______. He was a man of considerable property.

Matthew Marvin was baptized a Great Bently, England 23 March 1659-60. Salisbury's "Family Histories and Genealogies" says: "Mathew Marvin embarked with his family for New England 15 Apr 1635, on the "Increase," having taken the oaths of Allegiance and Supremacie. 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, Connecticut, where he was an original proprietor in 1635. He died about 1680.

St Bartholomew's Church Horley, Surrey, England



William Browne Inscription


In Horley church, on the stone of the north wall of the chancel inside is the curious inscription on a sunken panel with a molded border to William Brown, 1613, 'pastor' of Horley 50 years, and his two wives, Magdalen, 1604, and Margaret, 1611. In the lower half is a table of his descendants.


The memorial stone in the wall is the family tree of William Brown who died in 1613, having been the Vicar for fifty years. Much of his ministry was during the long reign of Elizabeth 1st and he would have known the coronation of James 1st. http://www.stbartshorley.org/St_Barts_Info.pdf p. 6 St Bart's Welcome Pamphlet
