Proved, 17 December 1533, by the executors named (P.C.C., 8 Hogan). 2. JOHN MERVYN (M5JY-R6S) (Thomas), of Ramsey, co. Essex, yeoman the testator of 1533, may have been born about 1480. He was of age in 1503, and was co-executor of his father's will. He died at Ramsey between 16 September 1533 (the date of his will) and 17 December 1533 (the date of probate), and was buried in the Church of St. Michael the Archangel at Ramsey. He is identical with the man whose name Mr. W. T. R. Marvin did not know (though he suspected it might be John), who is No. 7 in the English Ancestry, and appears on pp. 31 and 38-41 in that work. Mr. Marvin, however, believed him to be a son of John (M14P-R9X), and ANCESTRY OF REINOLD AND MATTHEW MARVIN 5 grandson of Roger Mervyn (KNDQ-HCV) of Ipswich; and it has been shown that that belief is erroneous. John Mervyn Was a man of very considerable wealth. In his will, he disposed of lands and tenements in the parishes of Ramsey, Great Oakley [Myche or Much Ockley] and Little Oakley., The names of some of his lands were Janecoxe, Waxe, Bennettes, Rolfes, Nether lands, Gesses, Brandons, and Milkes. He also had interests in the town of Harwich, which he left to his brother Thomas, a resident of that town. John Mervyn married MARGARET (L5GX-1NN) -?? , who survived him, and was co-executrix of his will. From the terms of the will, it is obvious that she was the. mother of all his children. She was undoubtedly the "Widow Marvin" (L5GX-1NN) who was taxed 153.on her movables at Ramsey in the Lay Subsidy of 1540 (English Ancestry, p. 38). The date of her death is not known. Children (order uncertain): 5. i. JOHN (9HGG-SBS), "my eldest son," co-executor of his father 's will, of age in 1533, b. (say) 1510. 6. ii. RAYNOLD, REINOLD or RYNALDE (9HW4-1JW), under 21 in 1533, b. (say) 1513. 7. iii. THOMAS (L417-K9R), under 21 in 1533. iv RICHARD (LD79-MML), under 21 in 1533. v. JOHN the younger (K2JK-9YR), under 21 in 1533. vi MARGARET (K489-9KR) unmarried in 1533, apparently later m. JOHN COOPER (LT54-C3M), of Harwich (see English Ancestry, pp. 41, 56, 166, 167). He was buried at St. Nicholas 's Church, Harwich, 29 July 1580. She was bur. there 20 Dec. 1587, leaving a. will, dated 8 Dec. 1587, which was proved 24 Jan. 1587/8.
