Reinold and Matthew Marvin .

To Matilda, my wife, and John, my son, all my lands and tene-
ments, and all my goods and chattels, movable and immovable, and
all debts due me on condition that they pay all my debts.
And I require all my feoffees who are enfeoffed in all the said
lands and tenements to deliver to the said Matilda and John, and
their heirs, full seisin of the aforesaid lands and tenements.
To fulfill this my present Will I make the said Matilda and John
executors. In witness whereof, etc.
Proved in the borough of Ipswich, [Suffolk,] 10 September, 1475,
and administration of all the goods of the said deceased Roger
was granted to the executors within written.
3 Robert 1 Mervyn, of Ipswich, may have been born not
far from 1432, as he had at least two grandsons of age in
1500, if the date of the Will of his son, printed below, has
been correctly transcribed ; I think, for reasons given later,
that that date is more probably 15 12, and that Robert was
born about 1444.
He was a contemporary, and for the last
years of his life, but how long we do not know, a fellow-
townsman of Roger. He was three times married ; naming
his wives in the order he mentions them in his Will, they
were (1) Jone ; (2) Rose ; (3) Alson [? Alison]
, who survived him, and was made executrix jointly with
his son Thomas. His Will is dated 28 February, 1490/1 ;
it was proved 30 March, 1491,* and is recorded at Ipswich.
His direction that his interment should be in St. Peter's
Church-yard indicates that his home was in that Parish when
he died ; but he owned an estate in the neighboring Parish
