MARVIN, Matthew (1600-1680) & 1/wf Elizabeth [?GREGORY]; b 1623 Hartford/Norwalk MARVIN, Matthew (1600-1680) & w/wf Alice [BOUTON] (1610-1680), w John; ca 1647; Hartford/Norwalk, CT

p 788 WEBB, Richard (-1665) & 2/wf Elizabeth (GREGORY)/BUCHARD?/GRANT (-1680); b 1635; Cambridge, etc.

I am not sure how one can conclude any more from the above than that Elizabeth's surname MAY have been GREGORY.

BTW taking a quick look at the NEHGR CDs there are a lot of ref's to Mathew MARVIN but on the first CD there is an article "Genealogical Sketch of the DESCENDANTS of REINOLD AND MATHEW MARVIN, WHO CAME TO NEW ENGLAND in 1635." [Compiled from authentic sources by TR Marvin, Boston] The article is in Volume 16 p 235-254 (July 1862). It mentions Matthew's first wife had the Christian name of Elizabeth and that his second wife was Alice KELLOG. His first wife is listed as having come with him from England in 1635.

Notes:

Widow of John Bouton, possibly Alice Kellogg. Surname from NEHGR, 1889 [see Marvin file].

Whether Matthew Marvin's second wife, Alice, was a KELLOGG is also open to question. If anyone can supply proof of her identity, it would be most welcome. The most reliable sources do not give Alice's maiden name. They agree that she married (1) before 1636 John Bouton, and married (2) about 1645 Matthew Marvin as his second wife.

There was considerable early confusion over Alice's identity. The Genealogy of the Marvin Family published in NEHGR 16:250 said Matthew Marvin married (2) in Norwalk "Mrs. Alice Kellogg" and the Memorial History of Hartford County, Conn on p. 251 repeated this error. Early genealogies confused the John Bouton who married Alice with their son John Bouton who married Matthew Marvin's daughter Abigail. Some called Alice the daughter of John Bowton rather than his widow. The fact that she was John's widow is proved by her own will, as well as that of her second husband. These were published by William Marvin in NEHGR 51:330-334, correcting the earlier errors.

Willis Boughton, in his sequel to the error-filled genealogy by James Boughton, says that Alice PRATT married John Bouton in England and came to Boston with him on the ship Assurance in 1635. Later he writes that Alice may have been Alice Kellogg, however. The Pratt Directory" by Jayne Pratt Lovelace calls her "Alice Pratt."

Some sources call her Alice KELLOGG. In TAG 11:114-118 Part 1, William Jones notes that there are errors in James Bouton's Bouton-Boughton genealogy, and mentions an excellent account in C. A. Hoppin's "Washington Ancestry" 3:489-514. In Part 2 of the same article, Donald L. Jacobus says the most serious mistakes in James Bouton's genealogy regarding the first two John Boutons were corrected in an article by William Marvin in NEHGR 51 (1897), and cites as "substantially correct" his own account in "Families of of Old Fairfield", and the Hoppin "Washington Ancestry" (1932) likewise, with the exception of the wives of John3 and John4 Bouton, which Jacobus then corrects. In summary, Jacobus lists the four John Bouton's and their wives, calling the wife of John1 Bouton "Alice __", but noting "according to the statements of some of the earlier compilers, she was a Mrs. Alice Kellogg; that supposition has been disproved, and according to the "Washington Ancestry" she was born a Kellogg. While that is possible, no evidence for her maiden name has been seen by the present writer."

Charles Nelson Hickok in his Hickok Genealogy, says that John Bouton, age 20, came on the Assurance from Gravesend to Boston late in 1635. "He appears as a single man, left Boston at once for Newtown, later renamed Hartford, on the Connecticut River. He was too young to be an important man in this migration to Hartford and as he died there in less than nine years after arriving he did not take a prominent part in anything of a public nature. He was serviced to another, doubtless associated at Hartford with Nathaniel Kellogg. It is fairly claimed John Bowton married Alice Kellogg in 1636/7, she was his only wife and he her first husband. (cites Kelloggs in Old World and New, p. 31.)
... "When she married (1) about 1636, John Bowton, she was about 26 years old. Doubtless she came to New England 1635/6 with Nathaniel Kellogg, but it is not clear whether she was his sister, niece, cousin, or granddaughter of William and Alice Kellogg of Saffron Walden, Essex."

I have the will of Nathaniel Kellogg, who died without issue, and left bequests to brothers and sisters -- no bequest to Alice, so I assume that means she was not his sister. My Kellogg information concentrates on Martin Kellogg, and does not give enough information on the descendants of his brothers and sisters to identify Alice's parents if she was, indeed, a granddaughter of William and Alice Kellogg.
