Notes:
Name:
"Reinold and Matthew Marvin Genealogy": He came with his father in the "Increase." He married, probably about 1650, Mary (?); she was living 28 March, 1707, at which time he made deeds of gift of all his estate to his sons Samuel and John, providing for her support; she probably died about 1709. He left no will, and the deeds mention only his daughter Hannah and a child of Elizabeth; they cover several pages in Norwalk Land rec. *(IV: 155 et seq.) He was in Norwalk certainly as early as 1651-2, and perhaps was one of the "thirty approved families" mentioned in the Agreement, 19 June, 1650, with roger Ludlow, then of Fairfield, CT., though not named in that document.
In the Deed made with Runckinheage and other "Norwake" indians, 15 Feb., 1651/2, his name is the eleventh. The consideration was "thirty fathum of Wampum," and various other articles, including kettles, coats, pipes, needles, etc.
His home-lot fronted on the road to Stamford, having the meeting-house lot on the east, his father's lot as its rear northern boundary, and Daniel Kellogg's lot on the west. His estate of "lands and accommodations," in 1665, was L135 ..10. He is frequently called "Mr." on the Town Records, and was often entrusted with important matters of public business, in church and civil affairs. He was town clerk in 1660, '61, and '62; townsman or selectman in 1600 and 1679, and perhaps in other years; some of the records are missing, but apparently, by his signature as witness to a deed, on 15 April, 1694, he served in that year also. He was "accepted to be made free" 13 Oct., 1664; the freeman's oath was ordered to be taken in the following May.

6. | Lieut. Samuel MARVIN (1.Matthew1) was born about 1664 in Norwalk, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA; died after 1754. Notes:
Name:
"Descendants of Reinhold and Matthew Marvin": Samuel was one of the appraisers of his wife's father's estate. He was often in public office; he was chosen townsman 1702, '07. '10, '12, '14, '17, '24, and '27; he was "lyster" 1716 and '23'; "Survaior" 1719, '21; representative, 1708 and '18; ensign of the train-band 1712 or earlier, and "established and confirmed Lieutenant of the South Company or rain-band of Norwalk" by the Legislature 19 Oct., 1719.
3 June, 1723, he was on the committee to seat the new meeting-house, of which his brother-in-law, Joseph Platt, was chairman; from Feb., 1732, until his death, he lived in wilton parish. His house in Norwalk, one of the oldest there, was standing in 1902. By a deed, recorded at Norwalk 17 Dec., 1735, Isaac, his "loveing son," was given land called "Wolfpitt Hills," Matthew, "a portion," Josiah, "land equal to Matthew's" Samuel also received a gift of land the same day. Josiah was given more land 27 April, 1741, Isaac, 19 Dec., 1744, and Samuel, Jr., 18 Jan., 1744/5; two of these three deeds Lieut. Samuel signed with his mark, indicating he was then infirm. A very careful search fails to find a final division of his remaining property.
Samuel married Hannah PLATT in 1701/2. Hannah (daughter of John PLATT and Hannah CLARK) was born on 15 Dec 1674 in Norwalk, Fairfield, Connecticut, USA. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

When the meetinghouse was seated in 1710, John was assigned "ye seat before ye hinde pillar." 14 December, 1711, he was chosen surveyor of highways and 18 December, 1712, he was on a committee to obtain a teacher for the school. he was chosen selectman 1706, '13 and '19, in which year he is called "sergeant," and he, or possibly his son John, called "sergeant," in 1738 and '40; he was a constable in 1717; fence viewer, 1721 and '29; "lyster" 1724. In 1734 and '38 he represented Norwalk in the Legislature.

18 Nov., 1737, he gave a lot of land eight rods square to the "Presbiterian or Congregational church of Wilton, on which to erect a meetinghouse." He confirmed this by deed of 6 May, 1738, in which he said "among the congregation are some of my children", naming John as one.
