• Notes

  1711 1711 Capt. Capt. David Marvin was born about 1710 in Norw David Marvin was born about 1710 in Norwalk, Fairfield County, Connecticut, the son of John Marvin. Matthew Marvin, Sr., was one of the earliest settlers at Hartford, Conn., where he was an original proprietor in 1635. His eldest son was Matthew, Jr., born about 1627, who married in Hartford and removed to Norwalk, where he died in 1712. John Marvin, born September 2, 1678, third son of Matthew, Jr., was a Representative in the General Assembly of Connecticut in 1734, and 1738. In 1752, he removed from Norwalk to Sharon, Conn., where he died February 9, 1774. He was twice married (1st) to Mary Beers of Fairfield, and (2nd) to Rachel, daughter of Matthias St. John- and had seven children by each wife. David, mentioned above was one of these children. David Marvin was married about 1733, and settled in New Canaan (an adjoining town to Norwalk), Fairfield County, Conn. A number of years later he removed with his wife and children to Goshen, Orange County, New York. He was one of the body of New Englanders who in 1762, and 1763 attempted to establish a settlement at Mill Creek and was there at the time of the massacre in October, 1763. Prior to 1762, he had gained the title of "Captain"-- by service in the militia of either Connecticut or New York. Accompanied by his sons Uriah and Samuel he returned to Wyoming with the body of settlers led by Major Durkee in the spring of 1769, and they continued here during the Summer of that year. Captain Marvin and his sons Uriah and Matthew were members of the expedition commanded by Captain Butler which in July, 1771, marched to Wilkes-Barre and ---------and captured Fort Wyoming; and the original receipts of David and Uriah Marvin, given for the "bounty" of five dollars paid to each of them for their services on that occasion, are now in the possession of The Wyoming Historical and Geological Society. Captain Marvin settled in Plymouth Township, where he died in 1778, prior to June. He was the father of the following named children: Matthew, David, Isaiah, Sarah, Hannah, Ruah, Esther, Uriah and Daniel.
