The earlier generations, from the same book (read in the archive.org full text, October 2026):

• pp. 29-35: Reinold Marvin, "son of Edward and Margaret Marvin, was baptized 25 Oct., 1594, in St. Mary's Church, Great Bentley, Essex," churchwarden there in 1627 and 1633-34, taxed for the Essex Ship Money in 1636; at Hartford in 1638, then Farmington, Saybrook and Lyme; freeman of Saybrook 20 May 1658; died in the summer of 1662 (will 23 May, inventory 28 Oct 1662, £820). His wife Marie "died in Lyme, probably in the summer of 1661 ... Her death was attributed to 'witchcraft.'" At Hartford, 5 Sept 1661, Nicholas and Margaret Jennings of Saybrook were indicted "for 'having enterteined familiarity with Sathan ... to ye loss of ye liues of seueral psons, and in particuler ye wife of Reynold Marvin.'" The will: "Unto my son Renold Marvin I giue my house and all my lands. I will that unto each of my grand children there be provided and given a bible."
• pp. 38-41: Lieut. Reinold, "christened in St. Mary's Church, Great Bentley, England, 20 Dec., 1631; died in Lyme, Ct., 4 Aug., 1676; married about 1662, Sarah, third daughter of George, Jr., and Sarah ( ) Clark, baptized 18 Feb., 1643/4, in Milford, Ct."; she married (2) 12 Feb 1677/8 Capt. Joseph Sill and died 1 Feb 1715/16, "aged 74 years" (gravestone). His stone: "1676 | LEVET | RENOLD | MARVIN | Aged 42."
• pp. 48-50: Capt. Reinold, "born in 1669, in Lyme, Ct.; died there 18 Oct., 1737; married (1), about 1696, Phebe, daughter of Lieut. Thomas and Mary (DeWolf) Lee ... married (2), 30 June, 1709, Martha, daughter of Sergt. Thomas and Miriam (Tracy) Waterman, born 6 Dec., 1680, in Norwich, Ct.; died 18 Nov., 1753, in Lyme." His banns, in rhyme: "Reinold Marvin and Phebe Lee / Do intend to marry: / And though her dad opposed be, / We can no longer tarry."
• pp. 66-67: Capt. Elisha, "born 8 March, 1717/18, in Lyme, Ct.; died there 31 Dec., 1801 (Lyme rec.); married 17 May, 1739, in Lyme, Catharine, daughter of Capt. Timothy and Sarah (Noyes) Mather, born 11 Jan'y, 1717/18, in Lyme; died there 4 Dec., 1799." Selectman 1754-61; representative 1766 and 1767; his will left his son Joseph his "silver-hilted sword."
• pp. 92-94: Capt. Timothy, "born 23 May, 1744, in Lyme, Ct.; died there 27 Feb., 1808; married (1), 30 May, 1765, Sarah, daughter of James and Margaret (Andrews) Perkins, born 1 Sept., 1747, in Lyme; died there 23 (Church rec. 24) Oct., 1795."

For King Philip's War (research/king-philips-war/), pp. 38-40: the book puts Andros's attempt on Saybrook fort in "July, 1676 ... only three weeks before his death"; the Connecticut records and Andros's own letters date it July 1675 (PRCC 2:334; DRCHNY 14:692-693). That Lyme's train band under Lt. Marvin was at Saybrook is the book's supposition only. In 1678 Rev. Moses Noyes preached at the election of a lieutenant to succeed him (p. 40).
