Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Portion of the War Record of the Marvin Family, 1775-1921 Ever since the time of the original settlers, Reinold and Matthew, the Marvin family has had representatives in every war in which their country was engaged, - from the "Dutch War" to the "World War". It is probable that both brothers served in their local "train bands". It is certain that Lieutenant Reinold of Lyme, Conn., did, while his son, Reinold was known as "Lyme´s Captain". Whether or not Matthew or his son, Matthew served, is uncertain, but Samuel, son of Matthew was a lieutenant, and his brother John was a sergeant. They were both of Norwalk, Conn. Captain Reinold was a man concerning whom interesting stories are told, for he was a "character" of great interest in Old Lyme, and it was near the old well there in 1694 or ´95 that he made his historical proposal to Betty, daughter of Ensign Lee. Sitting on his sheepskin saddle, he reined in his horse by her side and said, - "Betty, the Lord has commanded me to marry you." Whereupon Betty looked down and replied, - "The Lord´s will be done!" - a much more Puritanic reply than Priscilla Mullen´s "Why don´t you speak for yourself, John." Ensign Lee´s objections to the match did not prevent the publishing of the banns, which read: - "Reinold Marvin and Betty Lee Do intend to marry: And though her dad opposéd be, They will no longer tarry."
