A letter from Pauline Tidwell (g-granddaughter of Marvill) has that they left Newton County, Missouri about the time of the civil war. They were Presbyterians and were parents of 11 sons and 2 daughters. 2 or more of their sons died in the civil war. My grandfather Albert was the youngest son (?). He married a young widow, Martha Holmes, with two small daughters.

We know that Marvill and Matilda were in Tennessee at least until 1852. The next place they are found is Lamar Co., TX in 1860. There is a church letter that shows they were members of a Presbyterian Church in Newtonia, Newton Co., MO, but moved in 1871.
