Marvin (or Merwin), Robert. May 12, 1649, he has from the town a £100 lot granted to him "on three months' approbation had of him." This, by the way, establishes the fact that he was a farmer, as the town gave usually but a £50 lot to mechanics on their settlement. He, more than any other, occupied himself in destroying wolves, as appears from the town records. Richard is once mentioned, but it is probably a clerical error for Robert. He m. Mary, d. of William Browne, and in 1650 administers on the estate of his father-in-law. Thompson mentions him as a resident of Hempstead in 1682, as also a John - perhaps a son.
