  • Name Samuel MARVIN  [1, 2
    • "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.
