Edward Elbridge Salisbury and Evelyn McCurdy Salisbury, Family Histories and Genealogies (1892), vol. III, part 1: the Marvin monograph

A compiled genealogy, read in the archive.org full text for the Hatten research (research/hatten/Hatten_Philbrick_Marvin.md, October 2026). The Marvin monograph, drawn from the Lyme records, is the forerunner of the Marvin genealogy of 1904. Page numbers are mostly lost in the OCR, so they are not given.

• Capt. Elisha Marvin “married, in 1738, Catharine Mather, born January 11, 1717, who was the sister of his brother James’s wife” (the 1904 genealogy has 17 May 1739). “Capt. Elisha, unlike most Marvins, was not tall, but rather below the average size; he was an active, athletic man, with a powerful voice, and possessed great executive ability. His wife was a charming woman, of devout character, endowed with lively wit, and agreeable in conversation. In the ‘annual seating’ of the meeting-house, on one occasion, her family were moved down a seat or two, when she merely said: ‘We will grace that seat this year.’” A note makes Catharine and her sister Ruth great-great- granddaughters of Richard Mather and of “the famous Gen. Humphrey Atherton of Dorchester.”
• Capt. Timothy Marvin “married: first, May 30, 1765, Sarah daughter of James and Margaret Perkins of Lyme. She died August 25 (or October 23), 1795”; second, Mrs. Azubah (Harvey) Sill; third, Mrs. Prudence Lewis. He “died in North Lyme, February 27, 1808, aged sixty-four.” Their second child: “Picket, born February 5, 1768; who removed to Ohio, and resided in Jackson and Chillicothe, where he accumulated a handsome estate; was a Representative in the State Legislature; and died in June 1853, in Bloomfield, O., leaving issue.”
• On the Noyes alliance: gifts to the grandchildren of Judge William Noyes “brought from an old desk, inherited from Rev. Moses Noyes (whose wife was a descendant of Elder Brewster), and believed to have been brought to New England by the Elder”; and, in a note, “To this alliance we trace the use of Picket as a Christian name in our family.”
• Rev. Moses Noyes was “the first minister of Lyme, beginning to preach in 1666,” and “had preached there twenty-seven years before his formal settlement” (1693); he was “a Fellow of the ‘Collegiate School,’ even before its removal from Saybrook, in effecting which his influence is said to have been decisive.”
