- "Descendants of Reinhold and Matthew Marvin": Her death was attributed to "witchcraft." At a Quarter Court held at Hartford, 5 Sept., 1661, Nicholas Jennings and his wife Margaret, of Saybrook, were indicted for "having enterteined familiarity with Sathan... and by his help done works about ye course of nature, to ye loss of ye liues of several psons, and in pticuler ye wife of Reynold marvin....with other sorceries." The jury did not agree; a "Majority found them guilty, and the rest found strong ground for suspicion." About 1657 there had been "Suspitions about Witchery" in Saybrook, and the General Court sent Mr. Samuel Wyllys thither to investigate matters. In march, 1662/3, after Jennings' trial, the Court disallowed the account of the "Sea Brook Constables" for witnesses, and refused to "pay for their time and travaile, nor to any other upon such accounts for ye future."
