♀Elizabeth (surname unknown)

Died before 1647, Hartford, Hartford, Connecticut Colony, British Colonial America.

Also recorded as Elizabeth Marvin.

Elizabeth (living 1635) was the ninth great-grandmother of Frederic Roger Curtis (1928–2007), through her daughter Sarah Marvin (baptized 1631). She married Matthew Marvin of Great Bentley in Essex, where their children were baptized in the 1620s and 1630s, and sailed with them for New England on the ship Increase in 1635.

Essex

The records give only her forename; her maiden name, her parents and her birthplace are not known. She had married Matthew Marvin before 15 September 1622, when their daughter Elizabeth was christened at Great Bentley; Matthew followed there on 8 November 1626 and Sarah on 27 December 1631, each recorded as a child of Mathew and Elizabeth. Two more daughters, Mary and Hannah, were born before the family left England, the younger only months before they sailed.

New England

On 15 April 1635 the family was entered among the passengers of the Increase: Matthew, a husbandman aged 35, “Ux. Elizabeth Marvyn 31” (uxor, his wife, aged thirty-one, which puts her birth about 1604), and the children Matthew, 8, Marie, 6, Sara, 3, and Hanna, half a year old. They went on to Hartford, on the Connecticut River, where her husband was among the first settlers, and a compiled genealogy gives the couple two more daughters there, Abigail about 1637 and Rebecca about 1639. No record of her death is known. When her husband made his will at Norwalk in December 1678, his wife was Alice, the widow of John Bouton, whom compiled accounts have him marrying about 1647.

Notes

The Great Bentley christening entries, Hotten’s printed list of the passengers of the Increase and a compiled genealogy of 1952 all give her only as Elizabeth; Marvin was her married name. That genealogy has her born about 1604, which agrees with her age on the shipping list, and dying at Hartford in the early 1640s, a date no record confirms. Compiled accounts place Mary’s baptism at Great Bentley in December 1628, but no such entry appears among the Great Bentley christenings.
