The English ancestry of Reinold and Matthew Marvin of Hartford, Ct ...

Reinold and Matthew Marvin 31
From his name and age, Thomas 8 of Harwich may be the
son of the executor of the Will of Robert, 1 and we so assign
him ; but the Wills show that that Thomas 8 left but one son,
and cannot have been the father of Thomas 4 of Ramsey and
his brothers. Robert 1 had a grandson Robert, as appears
from the Will next cited, and by his age he might be the
brother of Thomas of Harwich ; but there is no allusion to
Ann in that Will, and we know that Robert of Ramsey had
a sister of that name. It is hardly probable therefore that
the latter Robert is the one named in the Will of John (5),
given below. In view of these facts, and because we know
that Reynold had a nephew Roger, a brother and nephew
John, and that another brother owned lands in Suffolk, we
think it possible that the John under notice may have had
the children named below, and we place them here, leaving
the correctness of the conjecture to be proved or disproved
by future investigation ; the order and date of birth is of
course unknown.
7 i. A son (? John), 8 b. about 1480, and the father of John,
Reynold, etc., named below.
8 ii. Robert, of Ramsey, b. about 1490; mar. Isbell ; d.
in December or January, 1556/7.
9 iii. Ann, who married Robert Borflete, probably of Harwich ;
among her children were Robert, John and Thomas, as

will be seen below.
(Robert)^ apparently of Ipswich when his
father died, was born about 1465, as stated above. He was
made one of the executors of his father's Will, and therefore
